Complete story — includes the ending

Joe gathers a group of Korban followers and has a volunteer stab another Korban member, Carla, to kill her, thus "sending her home." Robert confronts Joe about his reason for choosing Carla, as she was close to Robert. Joe calms him down and asks Emma to follow him and ensure she's able to keep him close enough to stop worrying. Joe and Emma also discuss Mandy's lack of progress at Korban, with Emma feeling like she's a lost cause. Later, she looks up Mark's number online, and calls him after packing a bag and leaving Korban. Meanwhile, Ryan and Mike continue researching information on Lily Gray and cults that believe in blood sacrifice. Two men cause chaos after stabbing a group of people at a bakery, sending them all to the hospital. At the hospital, two of Lily's helpers, Serena and Decklan, and a few others follow a plan put together by Lily to rescue Luke and send him home to Lily and Mark. Luke escapes the hospital after being chased down by Ryan, though Serena and Decklan are killed by Mike and Ryan, respectively. Carrie goes on air to report the news of the attack, which Joe and Emma angrily watch. Claire again requests to see Ryan, feeling she can help him. She's given permission, provided her son and mother are moved to another location which Claire will not be given information on unless she returns to witness protection. She later shows up at Ryan's apartment as Mike panics and tells Ryan that he can explain everything.
