The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Time might heal all wounds, but that doesn't mean it won't leave a few scars behind too.

Sometimes, usually, there is no perfect ending in this kind of work. There is only hoping the right sacrifices were made, and that the light shines a little longer because of it.

Reuniting the team might mean opening doors that were better left closed, both literally and metaphysically. Still, when one of the agents has always been a little out of time, R Cell was going to have to face the risk sooner and later.

One team member missing, the rest scrambling through the chaos of the church, and there's no more time to wait and see what unfolds. All the members of R Cell are jumping into action to finally get some answers, but some of those answers might come with greater repercussions than anyone expected.

The clock is ticking fast on this investigation. Regan and Ross unlocked some "hot goss," but Rowan and Reuben still have shivers down their spines, while River resists a revelation none of R Cell was ready for...

Gunshots

The community outside Hourglass has been welcoming to the team...maybe too welcoming. Strange children, strange voices, and strange handshakes all suggest that there may be something deeply sinister brewing beneath the pleasant surface of this traditionalist mountain community. Can old friends and esoteric knowledge lead R Cell to some answers before they're in too deep?

A train ride through the mountains should have been simple after the "minor excitement" of the night before, but the team is more on edge than ever. Multiple agents suddenly had concerned calls from family, and after one too many strange sightings on the train, R Cell has to worry. Could the local cult-church-community actually be linked to a previous investigation? Or have so many past missions finally caught up that R Cell is just the convergence?

Fast action means fast results as R Cell quickly mobilizes to asses a possible threat to the teen streamer behind the viral video, but the team should know by now that no action goes unnoticed. It seems the threat might be both real and more dangerous that anticipated, and the unexpected appearance of someone from the team's past suggests something more sinister could be at work in Hourglass.

The split team has made some progress in getting a better picture of this strange local church community, even if cocktails and libraries were both involved. But just before they can start to really dig in to assess these findings, a worrying new video crosses their feeds that needs immediate action.
