To rescue Elio from the demon locked inside the safehouse, Talia gave up her body to obtain Samedi’s help. Down in the basement, they found Elio infected with the red plague and must now act quick to retrieve Catrina once and for all.
In this penultimate episode, Elio is determined to prove himself, and summons a demon within the hideout.
