Recap
Caleb arrives at the evening mingle of the Conference on Governance and Public Administration Reforms and Innovations by taxi and meets Marshall Holland at the entrance of the Downtown Conference Center. Marshall recommends that they need to attract interest from possible clients, investors, and headhunt employees, and Caleb decides to show off his skills. Holland gives him the tour and points out people of interest.

Caleb chooses to first speak with Lucas Maitland first, and he introduces him to three of his best student that he brought. Maitland says that Caleb were one of his best students and they talk about his career. The students are all very impressed and asks for apprenticeship at their new company. Caleb also asks Maitland if there is anyone in particular in the business he thinks Caleb should make contact with, but Maitland says isen't the networking type. However, he can recommend not getting into relations with the company Harold-Fisher Manufactoring & Extraction, as they are the source of much destruction to the environment in their exploitation.

Caleb then chooses to talk to Jaxon King, the head of the legal department at Ford HQ in Detroit. Using his Presence power, he gets King's attention and draws him into conversation where he manages to really impress with his skills. Holland chimes in with saying they have a new start-up, and King says he'll remember that the next time they need to bring in people from outside. King also moves Caleb over to speak in private and says that important Men need to stay in touch, giving him his phone number.

Next, Caleb chooses to talk with Sita Robins, the wife of Police Commissioner Jim Robins and Saira's youngest older sister. She is being courted by people who all want to talk about her husband, but Caleb turns on the charm (and Presence) and whisks her away by offering her a drink. She seems to be representing her husband at the event and very willing to talk about how fantastic he is and the important work he does. But when Caleb starts talking about who he is she seems fairly unimpressed until he mentions having worked at Einhorn & Associates. After some back-and-forwards Sita mentions possibly name dropping Caleb and his company to the District Attorney if he agrees to look into Einhorn & Associates for her. Caleb gives Sita her card, but she gives him no way of contacting her.

Holland points out an older white woman as Sophia Campau, a Republican Representantive of the Michigan 3rd Election District for the Hall of Representatives in Washington D.C. . Caleb, however, chooses not to talk to her.

Caleb hangs back and looks over the room, noticing a black man in a leather jacket without a credential-badge intercepting Alexus Broadway, the reporter who leaked part of the police investigation into the Opera "Terrorist Attack". She seems distressed by the conversation and Caleb manages to pick up them talking about her Sources before they notice him approaching. Playing on Etiquette, he again manages to whisk away the lady before the man has time to interject but in turn Alexus says his name infront of the black man. Once away, Alexus thanks Caleb and tries to leave, but Caleb says they need to talk. Caleb explains that he and others are investigating the Opera Incident outside of the police, and that they should work together. He also says that she is in danger for having leaked from the investigation. Alexus is very sceptical, but Caleb convinces her to at least trade numbers with him so he can send her things they find.

As Alexus leaves, Caleb notices how a white-haired woman stops her at the party. Caleb recognizes the description of Alejandra De Valle of the Sabbat, as she seems to dominate Alexus to go with her outside. Caleb follows silently, and overhears their conversation while recording it with his phone. Alejandra, much like a hypnotist, draws out information from Alexus about sleeping with Detective Dane and getting her to leak the information from the Police. Alejandra then erases the memory and makes Alexus believe she made the whole leak up, as well as making her forget about this conversation with Alejandra. Caleb gets ready to leave but his phone makes a beep as he turns off the recording, revealing his position. As Alejandra goes to investigate, Caleb suddenly starts emptying his stomach of all the drinks and food he's had at the conference and pretends to be a wasted guest. He is so convicing and manages to disgust her that much that Alejandra leaves.

Caleb shakes Alexus out of the trance, and says that she was hypotised by the white-haired woman. She can barely remember what happend, and Caleb has to show her the recording to convince her that what happend was real. Caleb again emphesises that she is in danger, and it seems to really hammer-home this time.

A day later and the events at the Epsilon Sigma Sorority just occured with Emily being arrested for possession of large quantities of hard drugs that was found in her old room. Saira makes her way to the Midtown Police Station while calling Caleb and is told by a bored-looking woman at the reception desk that Emily is being questioned and she cannot see anyone besides her lawyer. Once Caleb arrives Saira tells him what happend. Caleb thinks that the evidence against her is circumstantial and won't hold up in court, but decides to pretend to be Emily's lawyer so that he can help her in the interrogation room. At first the receptionist at the front tries to stall for time, but once he's escorted he is brough in in the middle of Detective Dane and the black man from the Convention Center working on getting Emily to talk. The black man is introduced as Detective Fox. Caleb demands time alone with his "client" and after some bickering gets a room without observation. Emily seems worried and scared and Caleb tries to calm her down that as long as he gets to do all the talking then they don't have anything on her. Emily is not very calmed by this however since she seems more afraid of what she might accidentally say and that she doesn't trust herself under this kind of pressure.

Once back in the interrogation room, the two Detectives work in tandem with Fox trying to intimidate and break Emily while Dane tries to bait her to cooperate with them and talk about what she knows about the Opera Terrorist attack. Caleb does his best to keep Emily calm and say when she doesn't need to answer their questions, but when Dane presents evidence of Emily changing her story after having talked with Saira and Caleb, plus a recording of the call Saira made to the police about a "Death Cult", then Emily finally breaks. However, just as she is about to speak Caleb intercepts and dominates her not to say anything right infront of the Detectives. After not getting another word out of Emily for the remainder of the interrogation, Emily is let go and the charges are dropped.

On the way home they buy Emily some fancy burgers but she doesn't really have an apatite. They talk about what happend and concludes that the Police propably planted the drugs in order to threaten Emily to cooperate. Caleb also explains to Emily that he used mind control to stop her from talking, and that vampires have all sorts of different powers.
