Ernie did not expect any surprise returnees at band, and for the most part, the usual crowd was in attendance. But he was delighted with a visit from Michael Thompson, who just turned up out of the blue. Despite the ongoing struggles to gather enough players for rehearsals, Michael's appearance brought a glimmer of hope.
However, Michael had been unwell and shared grim updates about his brother Stephen. Meanwhile, Ernie noticed that several band members looked pale and ill, raising concerns about a possible spreading illness. Stepping outside to make arrangements for an upcoming concert, Ernie shivered in the cold, unaware of the master watching from the shadows.
Stephen Thompson, driven by a dark force, found his way to Vicky's house. Their encounter revealed a disturbing power dynamic, culminating in a night of eternal death and lust. As the rest of the band dispersed, Michael faced his own eerie confrontation with the master and a pack of ominous figures, leaving him anxious but under the master's protection.
