| Abuela snaps to Del, “Set the table, we have a guest coming.” She says nothing further, which leads Del to assume her older brother Carlos is coming. She grumbles as she sets the extra place while Abuela stirs the pulled pork simmering in the slow cooker. Anita stays out of the way and keeps her face blank; she knows what Abuela is doing – and she approves. At 8 o’clock on the dot, the doorbell rings, and Abuela irritably snaps, “Della, get the door.” Anita waits and watches in the living room as Del matches to the door and flings it open –and stops dead when she registers Josh instead of Carlos!

| Leta swears at the clutter and Abby looks up and registers the mess. She mumbles, “I guess this means a group trip to IKEA,” before returning to her books. There is a very loud pop, and a three-foot tall cylinder filled with brackish green liquid rolls out of the pocket realm and into the living room! Tiny hands appear, pounding on the glass, before Veltis’s tail whips and drags it back into the kitchen. He shoves the cylinder back into the pocket realm and insists, “It was the 1480s. Don’t worry about it.” Enraged, Leta snaps, “You have no idea what’s in any of these things!” Veltis hotly refutes that, so Leta points to a jar and snaps, “What’s in that one?” Veltis replies, “A Hand of Glory.” Leta is thrown off-guard sat that, but recovers and points to another jar. Veltis replies, “Himalayan salt.” Leta growls, “You can buy that in stores now,” but Veltis counters, “It’s processed all to hell.” He also reveals that salt is black, not pink, and Leta grudgingly concedes that point. She does insist, “Most of this stuff is spoiled.” | Leta swears at the clutter and Abby looks up and registers the mess.

Veltis snipes at her as he cooks dinner, and shoves her out of the kitchen. He serves dinner shortly thereafter: South Carolina fried chicken, grits, and corn on the cob. He also passes out bottles of Coca-Cola – the original version. Leta howls, “You just gave me cocaine!” Veltis swears and grabs the bottles back. He then grabs bottles of Mexican Coke instead.

Leta opens the door and greets Detective Fuller; the other woman demands, “What the hell was that noise?” Leta plays it off as the kids living downstairs, and then Fuller demands to speak to her. Leta refuses to let her inside without a warrant, but Fuller replies, “We can talk here, or down at the station.” Sighing, Leta steps inside and Fuller enters the apartment, looking around suspiciously. However, there is nothing out of place, and a tiny Veltis runs over to Leta; she scoops him up and puts him on her shoulder. | There is a massive thunderclap of a pop, and then everything is back in the pocket-realm – including the book Abby was holding in her hands!

| - | At 3:10 AM, something comes flying through the bay window of the Troy household! William instinctively rolls to the floor as a body sprawls along his couch, feet in the air and head in his crotch. He registers a bloody mess of a young Asian woman, and crawls away from the sofa. The noise wakes Josh and he looks outside to see a small figure calmly approaching the house. He screams, “There’s someone outside!” as he barrels out of his room and races downstairs! William crawls to an angle where he can see outside and looks; he sees a small, female figure calmly approaching. Josh runs into the living room and sees the woman; he immediately recognizes her as Angie Nakamura! He grabs her shoulders and drags her inside just as the figure hops up into the bay window. There is a crack of thunder, a bolt of lightning, and the Troys see a small woman illuminated clearly; she’s wearing combat boots, ripped jeans, a spiked leather jacket, and has pale skin, blue hair, and facial piercings. She opens her mouth, and the Troys clearly see the extended fangs of a vampire! | + | At 3:10 AM, something comes flying through the bay window of the Troy household!
