The Premature Rescue

Farmhouse. Jacob comes up from the basement and Emma asks if he's okay. He puts a knife back in the block and Paul says, "You can't do it, can you?" I thought we established this last week. Jacob runs out the back door and Paul follows him. Emma calls Joey to summon him to lunch, but he doesn't answer or appear. She goes looking for him. His room is empty. Paul is trying to reassure Jacob out on the porch. Emma interrupts to tell them Joey's gone.

Jacob, Paul, and Emma are searching the property and the outbuildings. They split up to keep looking for him. Joey is running through the woods. He falls and an older man asks if he's all right.

Claire hangs up her phone and tells Turner she's going for a walk. He doesn't think that's a good idea and insists that someone accompany her. She's all, fine, whatevs. She goes upstairs and Turner calls Parker. He relates what's going on and Parker tells him not to let Claire out of his sight.

A local cop asks Mike if it's true that Carroll has a cult of serial killers -- follower! Keep an eye on this one! -- as he's hanging up pictures of Paul, Jacob, and Emma, and Logical Cop asks Possible Follower Cop, Ava, if Paul might be the guy from the missing-girl case in Rhinebeck. She pulls up the surveillance footage of the convenience store. Mike leans in and transfers the video to the FBI's server, then enhances the image so they can positively identify Paul. They narrow it down to farms in a 25-mile radius of the store. Ava and Mike will take one direction, Ryan and another cop the other.

The older man brings Joey to his wife and says he needs to borrow the phone to call his mom. The woman asks if he's Joey Matthews. He says he is, and the woman says he's on the TV, that the police are looking for him. Joey parrots back that the police want to hurt him. The older couple is confused, and just then Emma runs out of the woods and tells Joey she was worried and they should go home. The woman interrupts and asks who she is. Emma introduces herself as Denise and thanks them for finding him. The couple says Joey wanted to call his mom, and Emma says he can do so from the farmhouse. Joey's all, "I can?" and Emma says of course! We're totally not holding you against your will!

The older couple exchange WTF looks as Emma starts to lead Joey off by the hand, but they don't stop her. Joey tells Emma that the older couple saw him on TV, and Emma snaps at him for running off. They meet up with Paul and Jacob, and Emma tells them pointedly that the friendly neighbors were the ones who found Joey. "Shoot," Emma says. "I forgot to thank them for helping out. Do you mind?" Paul does not mind at all. He loves thanking people. With knives.
