Roman digs a hole in the woods and buries Destiny's body there.

Olivia brings Norville Knox to the institute, claiming he's there to help with the research to find a cure for the disease. Pryce is shocked to learn of this, not wanting to deprive the world of such a great mind in the scientific field, but Olivia forces him to go through with it and she must agree to get rid of all the blackmail leverage she has against him.

Destiny's friend visits Peter but is shocked to learn that she isn't there and didn't come home last night.

Roman returns home where he has Annie tied up in the nursery. Annie slips out of her restraints and tries to escape but Roman stops her, repeatedly insisting that he isn't a murderer. He didn't mean for her to die when he punched her back and is insistent that his snapping her neck was only done because she was already dying. He is conflicted and tormented with trying to find his path or knowing what to do. He even admits to having visited a priest in search of absolution. Their conversation is interrupted by Peter, who has come looking for Destiny. They claim to now know where she is, and Annie quickly excuses herself and leaves Roman's house. Roman continues to play the part of supportive friend and talks Peter through his theories of where Destiny might have disappeared too.

Aitor asks Shelly to leave Hemlock Grove with him so they can go on the road together.

Pryce tests out transferring Olivia's mind into Norville's body and she is pleased by the prospect of being in such an attractive, healthy body and mind again. Pryce insists that Olivia get rid of her leverage over him and then they will get rid of her old body and make the transition permanent. Olivia tells Pryce she wants to have sex with her old body in her new body first. Pryce leaves and Norville-Olivia wakes up old Olivia so the two can have sex. But the moment is interrupted when Norville-Olivia notices that Olivia's marking have begun to spread to her face so she's no longer interested in having sex. An argument breaks out, prompting Pryce to return. The old Olivia becomes reluctant to be killed until Pryce shows her the video of the infected rat that attacked its own body after cannibalising its fellow rats. Olivia agrees to the transfer but just as she's about to make the permanent transfer, Norville's body begins to glitch. The match isn't close enough so Olivia must find one that is more suitable.

Peter and Roman track down the leader of the Croatian and Roman tries to plant ideas in Peter's head that he was the one responsible for Destiny's disappearance. He even goes so far as to plant Destiny's engagement ring among the man's possessions in-between rounds of torture of Roman feeding on him. Peter is conflicted about what to do and Roman says he'll take care of it. He manages to get the man to admit that he wasn't really having Destiny followed as he had earlier claimed.
