She overhears Isabelle and the black-haired mother of baby Matthew from the mommy-and-me group talking about the ambulance that came for Jericho's demise the previous summer.

Sean begins his day with prayer. Leanne, sleeping in until noon, has nightmares of the night she was attacked by members of the Church of Lesser Saints. Dorothy comes into her room and is happy that Leanne is now making an effort at opening herself up more. Sean has started praying, much to the chagrin of his wife who thinks that Sean is wasting his time in "throwing the Lord down their son's throat." She prepares for the dinner party for Sean's minister friend Nancy while Sean hears yet another call from the producers of Gourmet Gauntlet. Dorothy is delighted and tries to get Sean to accept the time on the cooking show. Julian, however, reminds Sean that the last time he had left to be on that show had cost them Jericho; that accepting would unmistakably wake Dorothy up from her "sleeping beauty" routine. Checking the security cameras, Dorothy sees the attack and confronts Leanne as to why she kept her in the dark about such a horrifying experience; certain it was the cult. - Camp

Sean's promo for Gourmet Gauntlet impresses Dorothy and Leanne. Leanne takes nine-month-old Jericho for his walk as Dorothy chastises Julian for sleeping with Leanne, to which he assures her that it is over. Dorothy tells him about Leanne being attacked and how confused she, Dorothy, is at being unable to recall Sean ever being on Gourmet Gauntlet; afraid that she is losing her mind. Julian covers this to her being under a whole lot of stress, something Dorothy takes as part of postpartum depression. At the park, Leanne sees the group of "homeless people" who present her with a necklace and tell her how Jericho is a miracle child, which implies that they are aware that Leanne had actually managed to return the infant's spirit to his body all on her own. Seeing this from a window, a thoroughly panicked Dorothy runs and takes her child. She forbids Leanne to return to the park, which Leanne compares Dorothy's controlling nature to May Markham's. Sean disregards Dorothy's increasing paranoia regarding Jericho's safety as he prepares dinner and she leaves upstairs. Leanne tells Sean that the homeless people she has visited appear to almost worship her to the point of wanting to learn from her rebellious nature for being able defect from the Church of Lesser Saints cult. - Donut

Dorothy, meanwhile, continues to refuse to let anyone other than her, including Sean, hold or care for Jericho. When Dorothy refuses a breakfast cooked by Sean and instead has cereal, she finds insects in the cereal bowl. Later, when Leanne leaves to go to the park, Dorothy looks through her belongings and sees a drawing of her whipping herself with a drop of blood on it. Dorothy sees the same scars on her back and asks Leanne about them, but Leanne insists she does not hurt herself or listen to the cult any more.

Dorothy appears to accept this and starts to act more friendly towards Leanne, but Sean and Julian both do not believe it to be genuine. The next morning, Leanne takes Dorothy with her on her walk into the park with the "homeless people". There, Leanne tells Dorothy of a new job opportunity as an anchor that one of her friends found, but Dorothy doesn't believe they'll accept her. Later in the tub, Jericho says "mama", his first word, seemingly to Dorothy. However, Dorothy then realizes that Jericho was looking over her shoulder, possibly speaking to Leanne. Dorothy cooks dinner that night for herself, Sean, Leanne, and Julian, and they all seem to be in good spirits.
