"Excuse me? At my own party?" Patricia finds herself saying in disbelief and shock.



"Yeah whatever." The old lady replies nonchalantly as her mind is no longer on Patricia but on Claire and Maxwell.



Patricia burns with anger as she turns to cast another spiteful look at them then storms out of the dancefloor.



She is more angry and her anger results into her making more evil plans. She stops halfway in the audience then turns again to look at Maxwell and Claire then turns away and smirks.



Halfway through the dance, others on the dance floor joins in the dance. Each pair was extremely ambiguous in the dim light.



Claire notices that the audience has surrounded them on the dance floor as each of them are dancing with their patners. This brings Claire's attention to the search of Ruby as she pays attention to every girl in white dress.



Suddenly, she notices a white figure 

Claire wonders if Ruby being her blue has value and can it even connect to the eeal killer of the serial murders? What is the connection between the scapula and the butterfly? What are the similarities between the victims, besides the fact that they are all women between twenty and twenty eight years old?

Jack feels offended that his brother came for the party and didn't even invite him or did he get to know about it late? Well maybe it's Patricia who invited him too.



Alex just watch Claire being taken to the dance floor by Maxwell. He is reluctant to make a move as he doesn't know what to do. He didn't sign up for this in his plans and just as everything was going smoothly for him, this man had to show up and ruin everything.
