Complete story — includes the ending
Lily introduces Joe to everyone in the house. Emma expresses her bitter feelings towards Joe abandoning her; he apologizes repeatedly and asks for another chance. Luke and Jamel, another one of Lily's "sons", go to meet up with Gisele. However, Max and Ryan catch up with Gisele, bringing her to a local motel where they handcuff and question her. Gisele gives up the supposed location of Joe, which is really the warehouse she was supposed to meet Luke and Jamel. Ryan heads there and is confronted by Luke and Jamel. Ryan shoots Jamel dead, but is shot in the stomach in return. Meanwhile Gisele breaks her thumb to escape the handcuffs (while Max is distracted), and runs away to meet up with Luke. The two follow Ryan's trail to a local house, where Ryan attempts to clean up his wound as the homeowner shows up and panics. Gisele then enters the house and falsely tells Ryan that she killed Max, whereupon Ryan stabs Gisele with her own knife. Luke runs into the house and holds Gisele as she dies, while Ryan runs off. Back at the estate, Lily requests that Mark distract Emma for a bit. Mark locks himself and Emma in Lily's art room to allow Emma to draw, an old passion of hers. Emma leans in to kiss him as he reveals he cannot handle body contact unless he initiates it himself. Meanwhile, Lily has locked a young school girl in a cage and drugged her, presenting her to Joe as a gift for him to kill. Joe angrily refuses at first, thinking Lily is attempting to control him, but later goes through with the murder. Weston, Mendez, and the FBI discover an image of Joe and Mandy from a surveillance camera, but fail to actually identify the man in the picture as Joe. Ryan returns to the motel and embraces Max upon seeing her alive.
