Edgar, Vincent’s son, harbored a notion for the latest addition to Good Day Sunshine’s puppet troupe. However, before he could present his idea to his father, the boy vanished en route to school.

Vincent believes that reanimating Eric holds the key to his son’s return. Meanwhile, Detective Ledroit effectuates an arrest, and Cassie harbors doubts of her own.

As Vincent hurried to prepare for the presentation, Ledroit arrived with further inquiries. Meanwhile, Cassie met with the mother of a child who had also vanished.

News of troubling events from both Lennie and Cassie deepened Vincent's despair, pulling him further into a downward spiral. But a message from Edgar sparked a glimmer of resolve, and with it, the seed of a new plan began to form.

Edroit progresses steadily in both lines of inquiry. A phone call reaches Cassie, irrevocably altering the course of events, while Vincent persists in his pursuit guided by the map.

With the city’s homeless population increasingly displaced to the streets, Vincent encounters the individual who holds the key. An old acquaintance assists Ledroit in uncovering long-hidden truths.
