In this episode, Silas's assistant Lucas suggests that Silas marry Vera for the sake of Leo and Lyla's recovery, arguing the children need a motherly figure since their biological mother passed away six years ago. However, Leo and Lyla vehemently oppose the idea, insisting that the therapist Leah is their true "mommy." In the garden, Leah is gripped by agonizing self-doubt as she realizes Leo and Lyla share the same birthday as her own lost child. The children run up to find Leah, revealing to her that Vera abused them by pinching their ears when Silas wasn't home, and beg Leah to become their mother. To comfort them, Leah agrees to play hide-and-seek, a scene watched closely by a sinister Vera from afar.
