"So, what do you know?" Mason asked. "Well, yesterday, we found out that the DollMaker's son has a set of skills that nobody else in the world has." Aubrey started. "While we were waiting for you guys to get here after we sounded the alarm, Ezra told us that the DollMaker's son has been controlled by the DollMaker himself as a way to try and advance his powers and talents." Jordyn continued. "So, it's someone who's been controlled by the DollMaker already?" Jackson asked. "Yes, you're correct." Uncle Dave replied.

"For that reason, we think it's Tyler." Aubrey finished. "Why Tyler?" Jackson asked, giving her confused expression. "Because the things I'm good at aren't things people are usually good at and I've been controlled by the DollMaker more than once." Tyler answered. "Tyler is the only one who fits the description that Ezra and Arthur gave us." Aunt Kate explained. 

"We know who Ezra is, but who's Arthur?" Mason asked. "I don't think you ever specified who he's bonded to." "Arthur is bonded to me." Jay replied. "Why is he bonded to you?" Amelia asked. "We don't exacrly know why Arthur is bonded to Jay." Aubrey told her.

"You'll never win at this rate." Ezra warned. "That's concerning." Phil commented. "The DollMaker always wins." Gloria announced. "As if we haven't heard that too many times to count already." Lisa pointed out. "You'll never defeat us." Arthur said with an eerie tone. "We can and we will defeat you!" Jackson protested. "You are powerless unless you find out who the DollMaker's son is and the potion ingredients." Abigail spat. "Time is running out." Rosemary warned. "You better work hard and fast to save your friends." "We can't lose more people to the DollMaker's collection." James agreed, appearing into Jackson's arms, causing him to tighten his grip around the doll and sigh in contect.

"Guys, something is wrong with Tyler." Aubrey said, slowly. "Come play with me." Tyler requested, creepily. "We have got to find a way to stop the DollMaker." Jackson announced. "You don't want to upset my father, do you?" Tyler asked. "Not my dad, my birth father. You don't want to upset him, do you? And yes, I mean the DollMaker."

Phil turned to his cousins. "You guys were right." He said. "Tyler is the son of the DollMaker." Gavin groaned. "Well, now what are we supposed to do?" "We wait I guess." Mason replied. "Not really much we can do at the moment." "Real good advice Mason." Gavin commented, sarcastically. "Very helpful." "I'm not Caleb!" Mason yelled.

"What do you expect me to do when he's not here?! He's better at the whole 'leadership' thing than I am and you know it! Why do you expect so much from me when you know I can't do it?!" Phil blinked in surprise before turning to Gavin. "And that's coming from the chillest member of the group."
