In the last episode, we talked about the senseless massacre that took place in a B. Low

grocery store in the small town of Windsor. Three employees, Grover Cecil, Choice Reason,

and Johnny Raykins were left dead, and two others severely injured, while one person miraculously

witnesses of the massacre. As soon as Tony and Thomas' conditions stabilized, they began to develop

a profile of the man responsible for the bloodiest attack in Windsor's history.
