Dean instantly steps into action to protect Cassie, even as Locke taunts him by suggesting he is a killer like his father. He shoots at her but misses. She hits him on the head with her gun, sending him to the floor unconscious next to Michael’s bleeding body. Locke transforms before Cassie’s eyes to reveal the true psychopath that she is, and Cassie blames herself for not noticing the clues before. Locke attacks Cassie for breaking her rules by allowing Michael to trail her, and she accuses Cassie of being weak like her mother. Locke reveals that she carefully manufactured the circumstances that brought Cassie into the program and led her to the safe house. When she presents a crying Genevieve to Cassie, Cassie realizes Locke wants her to kill the girl so that she can truly be Locke’s protégé. Cassie plays along while secretly promising to help the girl, but when Genevieve desperately grabs Cassie, Locke loses control and stabs Genevieve.
