Picking up where last episode left off, we watch as Jordy (Steve Monroe), described as a "disorganized killer with a low IQ" tricks his way into a sorority and murders a bunch of women. Though we don't witness the murders themselves, the aftermath is quickly and viscerally shown."

Jordy on the job.

Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) has ordered his loyal band of serial killers to kidnap his own son.

Follower/babysitter Emma Hill (Valorie Curry) convinces the boy that they are going on an adventure, hiding out from the father. When the boy asks why his father is so bad, Emma says, in typical creepy cult-follower fashion, "Maybe your Dad is not so bad, maybe we just need to understand him."

In a series of flashbacks we learn about Emma, a bookish nerd girl with a passion for literature who meets Joe Carroll at a book signing. Later visiting him in prison, Carroll sets her up with another of his followers, Jacob Welles (Nico Tortorella), who was pretending to be gay with fellow follower Paul Torres (Adan Canto) last episode. Emma stabs her domineering MILF-y mother in the back, and seals her up in the walls Poe-style as her new boyfriend looks on in adoration. Their Bonnie and Clyde tightness bothers fellow follower Paul, who would rather be killing their kidnap victim and Emma.

After all, a serial killer's got to kill, right?
