| In Lyneboro, CT, Rachel Mills, now a local police officer, helps a young girl, Katie, rescue her cat, Wilbur, who is stuck in a tree. Rachel asks Katie to get some lemonade; after Katie leaves, Rachel teleports up into the tree. She notices movement underneath the tree, and sees a dark-haired, blue-shirted figure, under a tree across the street, who doesn't seem to be leaving. As Rachel ponders who he is, she begins to slide down towards the ground.
Katie and her father, Ralph, arrive, just as Rachel finishes rescuing Wilbur. Ralph thanks Rachel for her help and praises her. As Rachel heads back to her truck, she notices that the man across the street is gone. Rachel then drives into town. Rachel heads to the police station, where she sees Kelly the receptionist, who reminds her to check her inbox. Rachel does so; there are three items inside the inbox. There is a typed note, which says, "Rachel: I heard you have a spare room for rent. Please fix the window and I will take it." Rachel ponders this, as she isn't renting the room, nor is the window broken. Also, there is no contact information. Aside from the note, there's also a key ring with a dozen keys, as well as a digital camera with dead batteries. Rachel then heads home, and notes that her house is pretty bland. She goes into her spare room, suspicious after reading the note in her inbox. She notices that the window has been broken and opened. She sees that someone is standing in the treeline in the backyard, looking back at me, and she recognizes it as the blue-shirted guy from Katie's house. However, he suddenly fades from view. Rachel runs outside, not knowing where the guy went. However, after Rachel ventures a few steps into the hilly backyard, the guy makes a break for it. Rachel sees that he is changing colors like a chameleon, and realizes that he has a power. Rachel teleports in front of the man, causing him to trip and fall. Rachel recognizes him as Crazy Tom from the circus. Crazy Tom tells her that Leona wants to meet. She then heads to Mable's Diner and sees Mable, the cook. Rachel walks deeper into the diner, and sees Leona. She greets her and Leona asks her if she wants some food. Rachel asks what Leona's doing here, noticing that she had used her ability recently and looked very young. Leona warns that there's a lot going on in this town, and that she should be careful. After an awkward conversation, Leona stands up and says to Rachel that it's time to go home. |

| Rachel is confronted by Claire, who asks her why she is after Alex. Rachel apologizes for following Claire but insists that she has changed. Claire points out that Rachel has killed Alex, and Rachel sees his bloody body at her feet. This turns out to be a nightmare and when Rachel awakens and tells Leona, Leona speculates that it could be a dream manipulator or that Rachel could be developing a precognitive ability. The girls hear some motorcycle engines and Leona says that she should get to work. Before leaving, she reminds Rachel that two friends of hers have come to visit.
Rachel goes to the backyard and speaks with the two guests, Cole and Mykah. Rachel asks them if they are sure their cousin Amber is in town and Mykah explains that Amber joined the biker gang when they were on the run from the government. Rachel promises that she will look into it and drives them to the diner. Cole gives her a diamond to give to Amber if she finds her. To try and get more information, Rachel goes to the police station to speak with Chief Parker. She asks if anything is going on and the Chief tells her to check on Smokey. If Rachel asks about the Chief’s project, he will tell her about a bunch of “New Arrivals” that came to Lyneboro a few months ago. He claims that the people are not normal and Rachel asks what he means. He hands her a file about Pinehearst and tells her that he thinks she knows all about it. Rachel tells him that if he does anything stupid, he will be stopped, to which the Chief asks if he is already too late. Confused, Rachel leaves and goes to the diner to talk to Leona, who confirms that during her time in LAWR, she trafficked special people to Lyneboro. At Smokey’s bar, a large group of Bikers are hanging around Smokey. Rachel tries to get close to him but she is sidetracked by Cooper, who demands to know what she is doing there. Rachel tells him that she is looking for a girl named Amber and Cooper looks surprised. Rachel tries to get some information out of him but he leaves. She then goes to the park and towards a group of bikers that have been staying there. Before she can search for Amber, she bumps into a man.

When Rachel sees that Alex is trying to get to the water, she teleports in front of him, revealing her powers. Alex is startled and Rachel tells him that they can talk later at the diner.
