Once the Dead Canary clears out, Tripp the bartender calls his mother, Angelica, at Calivera Enterprises and asks if she needs any more "volunteers" for the "project." She tells him to bring in as many volunteers as he can get. Tripp is concerned that he hasn't seen the previous volunteers he's sent; he thinks they've been cured of their alcohol abuse. Angelica's minion arrives to report that the grinder is packed up again; he is told to clean it up to prepare for more "volunteers" from her son. As her minion leaves, she speaks about the "secret downstairs."
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Magnus Adverson is tied to a chair by Mr. Ylung, who demands he sign the new will. Ylung needs someone to witness the will...Magnus recognizes Ylung as the man dating his granddaughter. Mr. Ylung plans to make a mask of Magnus' face to complete his plan. Ylung is interrupted by a secretary bringing him legal briefs, but she is clueless, and leaves without comment.
Elsewhere, in an underground lair, a young woman is tied down to the floor, a pentagram inscribed beneath her. She yells for help; robed figures arrive and stand ominously over her. Is one Dr. Scarlett?
