A silent alarm, a broken window, and a blood-soaked mystery—Officer Grady Reynolds responds to what seems like a routine call at the Albumin Community Blood Center… but this break-in isn’t about stealing computers or cash. Someone—or something—is hunting plasma. Meanwhile, Willow wakes from a disturbingly vivid dream, only to realize it mirrors the very crime unfolding across town. Was it just stress… or a psychic link to something darker?

As the early hours unravel, a dangerous figure stalks the fringes of Lewisville, leaving behind shattered glass and crimson footprints. The episode spirals deeper when we glimpse the intruder’s escape—and the horrifying realization of what was taken. Blood.

Is Willow’s dream just trauma echoing back, or something far more sinister? Could she be seeing through the eyes of a killer?

In the early hours of the morning, a silent alarm at a Lewisville blood bank sets off a chain of events no one was prepared for. Officer Grady Reynolds responds to what should’ve been a routine break-in, but instead finds shattered glass, missing blood bags, and crimson footprints leading into the woods. Across town, Nurse Willow Sullivan collapses in Trauma Room One after treating a stab wound victim—her silence as unsettling as the blood she couldn’t get off her hands.

Meanwhile, a body hits the county morgue. The victim, Amy Camden, reveals bite marks. Human. Not postmortem. And inside her wounds? DNA that doesn’t belong.

At Satan’s Sink, Detective Jack Rhodes clashes with a crime scene tech over access to the latest double-homicide. What they uncover suggests something darker than coincidence.

From the locked locker room of a shaken nurse to the glint of broken glass in a blood-soaked lab, this episode traces the first evidence that something-or someone—is feeding in Lewisville.

🔍 Key Moments:

• Officer Reynolds’s encounter with a broken nurse and a shattered crime scene
• The forensic autopsy reveals inhuman signs of predation
• The discovery of missing blood units—and what wasn’t taken
• A chilling standoff between a detective and a crime scene tech at Satan’s Sink
• The growing realization: these crimes are connected… and getting bolder
