Afraid of her daughter's life, Cita brings Cacai to a Daoist temple to be guarded by monks.

Dario reveals that he is no longer the same person but a different entity and warns her that those who have been cured by Elsa will be possessed by their own alter-egos and their souls shall be offered to him unless he is killed, which Seth is reluctant to do.

Days later, Jed learns through CCTV footage that Cookie has been possessed by her doppelganger and calls Seth.

At her father's birthday party, Seth is visited by a normal-looking Cookie, who kills her houseboy Boni.
