According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.295 million household viewers and gained a 0.06 ratings share among adults aged 18–49.
The episode received mostly positive reviews from critics, praising the performances, flashback sequences and character development.
Taissa (Jasmin Savoy Brown) and Van (Liv Hewson) start a relationship, while Natalie (Sophie Thatcher) and Travis (Kevin Alves) also kiss.
When the girls feel scared over the noise in the attic, Taissa decides to sleep there for one night and invites anyone to join her, with Shauna being the only one.
Kevyn (Alex Wyndham) calls Natalie (Juliette Lewis) to inform her that there was nothing of note (specifically, no drugs in his system) on Travis' death report.
Checking the file, Natalie and Misty realize that the floor of the area Travis' body was found had spilled wax that drew the symbol they saw in the forest and received on postcards.
She calls for a press conference, but shocks Simone by instead announcing that she will stay in the race and blames the graffiti on her home on her opponent's supporters.
