Eric rejoins the boys at The Lair, where Damian initiates him into "the inner sanctum" of fellow hunks risen from the dead. Thom visits The Lair soon after, searching for information about his comatose boyfriend. Damian responds by placing Thom in a near-fatal trance, but Laura saves him just in time. They approach Trout and Belmont for clues, but encounter only more questions. Meanwhile, Damian is coming for Jonathan once more.
