Present. Paul tells Jacob they got an update from someone named Rick, telling them the FBI found Emma's house. So maybe Rick is a follower who's in the FBI, or connected to the investigation some other way? Ooh, I hope it's Marshal Turner. Jacob can't believe they found the house, and asks if Raines was there. Paul says Rick was -- oh, so he's the masked man -- and he wants Emma to call him. Paul bitterly says it's because Emma's in charge, so he doesn't get to know important things. Jacob protests it's just because Emma was, like, Carroll's ur-follower. Of course she comes in as they're having this discussion, and if I were Paul I wouldn't sleep too soundly in the same house as this nutbar. Oy. Jacob also seems to have a tattoo of Poe on his left arm.
Flashback. Jacob has been invited for dinner with Emma and her mom. Slutty Mom asks Jacob what he does, and he, still with his Lego hair, says he's in between jobs at the moment. Slutty Mom says Jacob is too pretty to work, and goes on to say how she can't believe Jacob and Emma are dating. Emma comes in carrying the salad she was chopping, and Jacob says he thinks Emma is the most amazing woman. Slutty Mom snarks, "So you like the no-fuss plain Janes? That's sweet. Most boys don't." Emma stabs her mother in the back, no expression on her face. Jacob watches, looking either shocked or turned on. Maybe both. Emma stoically watches her mother die on the floor and Jacob breathes, "You really did it." In the present, they give each other sex eyes. Not literally. Although on this show, you never know.
Emma's house. In the attic, names and photos of women are all over the walls, from Annabel Lee to Sarah Fuller. And Emma's slutty mom. Mike pries at the wall, and a whole hunk of the siding comes off, bringing with it a mummified corpse. Ew. Riley observes that it's a female and she's been dead a while -- from the hair, looks like Slutty Mom -- and Ryan mentions "The Black Cat" and "The Cask of Amontillado," that it's typical Poe. And then he notices that next to the picture of Sarah Fuller is one of Claire Matthews. Parker tells them to make sure Claire is safe.
