It seems that Jacob is quite impressive. Impressive enough to be at FBI Deputy Director Ray Wynne’s house, in a tux, getting ready to go out and give a speech. Or he was going to give a speech, until shots are fired from the upper floor of Wynne’s house, where his wife is. Holding her hostage is Sophia Lyons, a lab tech who used to work for Wynne until she was put in a state mental institution. She claims that Wynne stole her baby, that she was having an affair with him, got pregnant, and then he took the baby to hush her up, claiming that she actually lost it and it was the child of an ex-boyfriend who left her suddenly. Rachel manages to subdue Sophia before anyone gets hurt, and they send her back to the state institution. Not before she shows Jacob an implant that she supposedly pulled out of her arm that day.

Meanwhile, on the catwalk, a bouncer seems to smell the same alluring odor and hops up onto the catwalk to attack one of the models. He snaps her spine and kills her.
