April explains that some of ANA’s buildings have underground bunkers and tunnels from World War II, and she found Elizabeth in the one underneath Franklin House.

April claims that Elizabeth, who now appears to be unconscious, asked April not to call an ambulance or a teacher, but she looks so sickly that Sade, Persephone, and Juliette overrule April. Miss Blackburn soon arrives along with paramedics, and Sade calls Baz to give him the news. Outside, the storm that has been brewing starts to break.
