"Teacher's Pet" is the tenth episode of the second season of the psychological thriller television series The Following, which premiered on March 24, 2014, on the Fox network.
[1] A flashback shows Claire Matthews in the hospital with Mike Weston as he and Scott Turner tell Claire that the only way to keep her safe is to lead everyone to believe she died, including Ryan Hardy, though she feels she has to tell Ryan the truth.
He later meets with a bigger group of Korban members to spread some of his ideas and drill in his message of "no redemption without blood."
When he calls, Ryan answers and the FBI attempts to track Joe's phone to find a location, but they're unable to.
The group of Korban members sent as messengers (Robert, Mallory, Lucas, Patrick, and Tilda) gather on a street sidewalk.
Tilda selects a random man across the street to be the victim as Lucas proceeds to stab him while whispering "no redemption without blood" and places a piece of paper with that phase on his clothes.
Back at Korban, Joe anoints Tilda and Lucas after they return from their mission by slitting his arm and smearing his blood on their foreheads.
Claire tells Scott Turner that she's not going to Arizona, where witness protection wants to move her, because she wants to see Ryan Hardy.
