(Rebecca meets Sierra Moss at her family café in Champs Les Sims.)

 "My family built this place. It’s the one safe space I trust to talk about what’s really going on."

Sierra:  "My ‘suspension’ was a cover. I was close to something big. That’s why they pulled me off. Someone torched my evidence. But I never stopped digging."

Then, all the sudden, L. Faba, Sage of Mischief Magic decides to join them:

"Ooooh, borrowing security footage is such a hassle. How about I just… erase you from it? Temporarily. Wink."

"Darling, you’re my favorite chaos gremlin."

(Rebecca gives Sierra a warm, firm hug.) "Thank you—for not giving up."

(Back home, Suzana pores over notes beside the Celestial Crystal Crown.)

"Hypothesis: Marcus designed this to enhance vampiric powers and negate weaknesses. But if Hemolith corrupts crystals…"

(She tries inserting the crystal known as Peach)

"Fascinating. It replaces the need for blood… temporarily. Victor’s ‘enhanced’ crystals must be the opposite—amplifying* hunger until it consumes the user."*

"I traced funding lines. The lab is bankrolled by shell companies—seven layers deep. But they all loop back to one name: Victor Blackwood."

"Of course. Always the same puppetmaster."

Janet:

"My cops will ping Victor’s comms. If he sneezes, we’ll know."

"I could sketch your downfall in seven verses. But you have potential… If your friends don’t ruin it."

"Marcus was family. You’re stepping where he walked. That earns you a tag… and some secrets."

 “Let’s talk about rebellion, elegance, and well-dressed destruction.”

Grayson: "Are you in this for Kane’s memory… or revenge?"

Amy (without blinking): "Both."

"Best. Intel. Gathering. Ever."

Next Episode: “Dossiers & Dark Deals” – The pieces are in place. The war begins now. Will Suzana find answers inside the Chantry?

 Can Leslie trust a secret agent ghoul?

 Will the coterie unite their allies in time to strike? 

Can Amy keep the Brujah from literally burning down the bar?

Answers tomorrow! Same Bat-time, same Bat-Tumblr acCount! 🧛 (pun intended)
