The VCTF is called in and focuses on the son of two of the victims. Further investigation reveals that the son is under the influence of a "Heaven s Gate"-like cult. Sam goes undercover to infiltrate the cult. Meanwhile, Frances continues to cause discord between John and Bailey by claiming that John seduced her. Sam s former mother-in-law continues to object to her raising Chloe and resorts to legal matters to gain permanent guardianship of her. Also, Jack sends Jill out to kill Sam s former mother and father-in-law. But she backs out at the last second and flees Jack s custody which proves damaging when Sam and the VCTF finally learns Jill s true identity.
