Later, Megan is acting when suddenly a person in a goat mask comes up behind her and another in a hawk masks hold her arms. They begin to force Megan into having sex. All the while, the audience watches thinking that it is all part of the play. Afterward, Olivia talks to Megan. She is shaken from the encounter and tells her about the man and how he choked her. However, she can only describe them by their masks. Olivia talks to Ted and he says that it is his fault. He says that one of the audience members must have gotten too caught up in it all. Back at the station, the team of detectives begins to find the audience members who were there. Olivia and Nick talk to Megan again, but this time at her apartment. Her roommate, Holly, is there and she is taking care of Megan. She says that she moved to New York six months ago and that is when she got into acting. She can’t believe why this happened to her. ..
