Plot summary
Jack lures away the surveillance team surrounding his apartment, allowing him to enter his home and retrieve a large weapons cache, and he drives away. Claude, meanwhile, travels to Cecil, Tennessee, to stay with his criminally stupid brother Seale. Holly vows to follow him so he can be both protected and potentially, exonerated. Ralph, Yunis, and Andy agree to join her. To evade the police, Jack murders a local fisherman (who the entity, currently transforming into Claude, then consumes) and steals his car. Soon after Claude arrives in Tennessee, he is taken into custody by local police who have coordinated with the investigators to protect him.
Claude, Seale, and the investigators converge on the Bolton house so they can keep track of Claude. Concurrently, the mid-transformation entity travels to a local cave festival and attempts to lure a young boy so it can eat him. Other festivalgoers manage to stop the entity, however, with the boy's grandfather getting in a scuffle with it before it flees. Meanwhile, Alec and Howard arrive to assist with the investigation. The next morning, local police arrive at the house looking for Claude. They meet with Ralph and Holly, showing them recorded footage of the festival scuffle, which reveals the entity to have an only slightly deformed version of Claude's face. Ralph and Holly realize the entity is close by.
