-===== Captive =====+===== Captive's Fate ===== 
 + 
 +At Mai's office, Leo arrives, and they try to figure out what to do with Holly's date over drinks. They consider wiping his mind, but note that Mai won't be of any help in this (as she's still empathically burnt out). Bull comes back from the van with some drugs, and suggests using DMT to wipe his brain.  
 + 
 +They partake in some drugs themselves for therapeutic reasons and Leo decides to call Nell. He tries to reassure her as Bull and Mai share a trip.  
 + 
 +Fredrick (one of the three metal boys) pokes his head in, and when Mai and Bull come down, tells them that there's a problem out at the unicorn farm. Mai suggests that perhaps Faith can mind wipe their captive if they take him out there. They depart the office. 
 + 
 +As they try to leave the neighborhood of Mai's office to head for the farm, they note that there's a mob ahead trying to get ATTA (for Airborne Type Two Anthrax) vaccinations from a van that's clearly run out of supplies. This has, apparently, been a scene that's playing out all over the city at the van sites. Leo makes the decision to avoid this distraction, and drives around. 
 + 
 +===== Faith at the Farm ===== 
 + 
 +After picking up reinforcements, and several detours, they finally make it to the farm. Loris meets the van, and tells everybody that one of the elves has Faith upset, claiming that Faith is upsetting the nature of reality locally. Mai and Leo argue about whether or not to side with elves. They decide to ask questions, before just blasting the elf kids.  
 + 
 +Faith is found on her makeshift "Throne" holding court over the farm-yard. She claims everything is fine. Mai approaches the elf kids with food. Ovil seems to want to play things down, but his little sister is concerned, claiming that Faith is bringing the Green Man and his ogres to the farm. Mai can feel that, in fact, Faith is using the unicorn's energy to break down the dimensional barriers to the Fae Realm.  
 + 
 +Mai goes to visit the unicorn (which the elf girl has taken to calling Candy), and convinces it to stop sending power to Faith. Faith is infuriated, and starts to lift Leo up off the ground with her telekinesis. Mai returns to Faith and the rest, and Faith drops Leo.  
 + 
 +Mai tells her to stop breaking down the walls, but Faith claims she's creating her own new reality, and isn't sure who's invited. Mai argues that Faith should be grateful that they saved her, when she was trying to kill them. Faith argues that it's not really being saved if she isn't free to be herself.  
 + 
 +Leo cuts through the argument by announcing a death sentence for Faith. He explains that she's too dangerous to be allowed to live, much to Loris' dismay. Faith stands to defend herself, and Leo puts a bullet in her head. Mai questions why he did this.  
 + 
 +Loris, inconsolable, pulls a gun on Leo. Mai uses wind to prevent him from aiming. So instead he puts the gun to his own head. After a brief argument, he throws his gun away and heads off into the trees to be alone.  
 + 
 +Mai goes back to the unicorn. She discusses the state of affairs with Beta Three, who suggests maybe she should apologize to Leo about shooting Ezra. And generally to use more diplomacy with her team-mates than force in the future.  
 + 
 +They decide to head back to Chicago, intending to go to the DBC finally, and leave Fredrick in charge of watching after Loris. Before they leave, Loris demands that Faith be buried on the farm. Mai wants to take her body back to Chicago so they can use it as an offering to the Tall Ones in the DBC (telling Loris that she'll be "serving the underground").  
 + 
 +Mai and Leo argue about who has been less responsible with killing members of the underground. Loris figures out what's up, and tells Mai she should take his body too then. Mai almost kills him, instead shooting him in the arm. Darcy, angry with Mai and Leo, bandages Loris up, and they put him in the van to make sure he gets to a doctor.  
 + 
 +The van ride back is very tense. They return to the base, their captive being very nervous about being brought in blindfolded. They tell Doreen to fix Loris' injuries, but then reconsider, given his morale, and to save Doreen's strength. They start thinking about the impending trip to the DBC.
