Bailey takes her half-siblings to the beach while Hunter plans an attack on Skate. Here, she and Bird attempt to locate Bird's father, who initially denies their connection.

After some confrontation, Bird learns the truth about his father’s past and the instability of his mother’s health. This revelation deeply affects Bird, leaving him emotional as Bailey offers comfort.

Following their return home, Skate attempts to force his way into Bailey's house. When Bailey tries to intervene, he knocks her out, showcasing the dangers her family faces.

As Bird recovers, Bailey witnesses an incredible transformation where he morphs into a creature with feathers and wings. He uses his newfound abilities to protect Bailey's family from Skate.
