Ryry, Cat, and Alba are all chilling.
Ryry: I think this is the most peace I've had in a long time.
Alba: Yeah, you're not wrong. I could get used to-
Before she can finish, Cat cries out in pain.
Alba: Contractions?
Cat nods.
Alba: C'mon, let's go to the infirmary. I've got the birthing pool ready for you.
The 3 of them leave. Cut. The scene changes to the Weekes, the Kropps, and Awsten.
Awsten: What did you do to my sister, Remington?
Remington: Turned her into a vampire. Hospitals aren't open at this hour of night, as you observed, and we couldn't have waited for the morning because then it would've been too late. It was the only viable option.
Awsten: I see.
Sebastian, talking into his phone: Hey Siri, where is the nearest cemetery?
Awsten: She isn't dead, Sebastian, no need to be dramatic.
Sebastian: Don't tell me you didn't know. Gracie being bitten was only the first step to her turning. We have to bury her, and then she has to dig her way out of the grave. It's a vampire rite of passage, so to speak.
Awsten: How would I- no matter. So where is it?
Sebastian: It's fairly close. For my brothers and I, I mean. Because flight. You guys might need to Uber, though, seeing as your van broke down.
Awsten: Fine. Anything for my sister.
The scene switches back to the base. Cat is in labor.
Alba: Cat, you'll be fine. Just don't focus on the pain.
Cat: Don't focus on the pain? Oh my, what an idea. Why didn't I think of that? IT'S THE ONLY THING I CAN FOCUS ON, ALBA!
Alba: Cat. Calm down. Just breathe.
Ryry: I think I might be of assistance here. Here, Cat, hold my hand.
He holds his hand out. Cat takes it. Ryry begins to sing the AJR song Dear Winter. Cat just looks at him; her expression seems to say, "God, Ryan, I'm falling in love with you even more right now." It's a beautiful moment. Or at least it would be a beautiful moment if Alba wasn't interrupting every five seconds to tell Cat to keep pushing.
After the song is over:
Alba: I can see Winter's head. One more push, Cat. Can you do it?
Cat: For Winter? I can do it.
The final push. Then, Winter is born.
Alba: You're officially a mom. As for Winter's sex, he's a boy. Handing Winter to Cat: I take it you want to hold him?
Cat: Of course.
Ryry, to Winter: Hi, Winter. I'm Ryan, I'm your father. I've been waiting so long to meet you, Winter, and the fact that it's finally happening is surreal.
Winter does not understand, as he is a baby. Cut. The scene changes to the cemetery. Gracie has been buried, and everyone is waiting around. Awsten calls Tessa to update her on Gracie's status.
Awsten: Gracie's okay. Pause. No, hospitals wouldn't be open this late. Remington turned her into a vampire, it was the only way to save her. Pause. Yeah, I never thought I'd be saying them, but it's true. We're at a cemetery. We just buried her, cuz vampires need to dig themselves out of the ground or something. I dunno, the Kropps know better than I do. They're the actual vampires here. Pause. Yeah, it is pretty interesting. I'm gonna let you go now. Bye. He hangs up.
Sebastian: Tessa?
Awsten: Yup. She feels bad for not sending a healer, but I understand why she didn't think to. They only have one with them, and they're in Dema, so they need her.
Amélie: We're in Dema too, remember?
Awsten: Fair enough.
Meanwhile, Remington just got off the phone.
Remington: I just got off with Kaylen. She's on her way with the blood.
Emerson: Good. Gracie's gonna need it.
Dallon: Would someone care to explain who the heck Kaylen is?
Enter Kaylen.
Kaylen: That would be me. I'm Kaylen. Remington's my boyfriend.
Dallon: Ah.
Awsten: Pleasure to meet you, Kaylen. I'm Awsten. Gracie, the one who you brought the blood for, is my sister.
Kaylen: Ah. Remi speaks often of Gracie, so I feel like I know her. He never mentioned her having a brother, though.
Awsten: Well, she does.
Gracie emerges from the ground.
Gracie: What in tarnation- Last thing I remember, I was bleeding out and Amélie here was using her bloodbending to sustain me. Now I'm here- wherever the heck here is- and I just dug myself our of the ground and I'm not even tired. And I'm craving blood, for whatever reason. This is weird.
Awsten: When the Kropps got to us, it was too late to bring you to a hospital. And Tessa didn't send a healer. So our only option was for you to be turned into a vampire.
Gracie: What??
Awsten: Remington's idea, not mine.
Gracie: You let Remington- Awsten, where's my waffle iron?
Remington puts his hands up.
Remington: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on a second before you obliterate me with a waffle iron. I wanted to save you, Gracie. You were pretty much dying, and I was not about to lose my closest friend on the team. No offense, Emerson.
Emerson: None taken.
Gracie: You... saved my life.
Remington: Mhm.
Gracie, hugging Remington: You saved my life. I- wow. I'm sorry for getting mad.
Remington: It's understandable. Being a vampire is something you're gonna have to get adjusted to, but you'll see it's an absolute win.
Gracie: The only downside is no more garlic bread.
Remington: I've not had garlic bread. Is it any good?
Gracie: Is it any good? It's one of the greatest foods in existence. Not that you would know. Being a vampire and all.
End of episode. Roll credits.
