At school, Savanna, Mark and Tommy talk.
"It feels good to be back." Mark sighs. "But now I'm sharing a room with Jamal AND Tommy."
"Where IS everyone?" Tommy asks. "Annika, Danya, Jamal, Elayna, Tyler, Sami, Hunter... they're all gone."
"I don't know.." Savanna says.
"I'm gonna go look for Elayna!" Tommy leaves.
Grace comes and goes up to Mark and Savanna.
"Who's this?" Grace asks.
"This is Mark." Savanna replies. "My boyfriend."
"Cool." Grace says. "But I don't care! Hunter has been gone for days and I need him more than ever!"
"Why??"
"There's a hearing today to find out if my dad can get released from prison. Hunter has to be there!"
"You can do this without him!" Savanna says."Mark and I will come with you for support."
"We will?" Mark asks.
Savanna glares at him.
"Oh, we will..." Mark steps back.
"Let's go." Grace says. "I just hope Hunter's okay.."

Hunter sits in the warehouse, cold and weak.
Outside of the warehouse, Jamal, Elayna and Tyler arrive to save him.
"We're here." Jamal states.
Elayna shivers.
"Guys, get back!" Tyler hides them. "Someone's coming!"
Rufus arrives and Elayna recoils at the sight of her past torturer.
Rufus goes into the warehouse.
But Hunter isn't there.
"Hunter?" Rufus calls out.
Hunter sneaks up from behind him, wrapping a rope around Rufus's neck and strangling him.
Rufus pushes Hunter away.
Hunter dashes out of the warehouse, and the others see.
Hunter hides behind Rufus's car.
Rufus exits the warehouse. "Oh, a game of hide and seek? My favorite."
Rufus pops up behind Hunter punching and beating him to the ground until he's unconscious.
Jamal, Elayna and Tyler look away.
Rufus drags Hunter into the warehouse.
Rufus locks him in and gets in his car, driving away.
"I'll follow him." Jamal says. "You two, go save Hunter!"
Jamal runs away.
Elayna and Tyler face each other.
They go up to the warehouse.
Elayna uses a bobby pin to unlock the door.
But they both gasp when they see the unconscious body.
It's not Hunter.
It's Tommy.

In the tunnels, Annika, Danya and Sami go to the Mask.
Annika places the key into the keyhole, unlocking the case around the Mask.
Annika smiles with pride as she picks up the Mask of Hades.
"All this time..." Annika says. "All these tasks, all these tunnels, all this pain... it's finally over."
Senkhara appears.
"The Mask.." She whispers. "Give it to me."
Annika hands Senkhara the Mask.
Senkhara puts it on.
But nothing happens.
"It's not complete."
"What?!" They all gasp.
"You need the Gem of Aphrodite to make the Mask complete. Come back to me when you do."
Senkhara disappears.
Annika faces Danya and Sami.
"We have to go to Hunter." Annika says. "He's the one who would know about the Gem."
Annika, Danya and Sami walk away.
