Recap
A big thunderstorm blows in over Michigan and forces the team to stay indoors while the wind and rain pelts the cabin. Chaska stops by and checks in on them while out making sure all the powerlines and the cabin village is secured. Once the storm dies down they get into Shaun's car and head back to Detroit. They arrive just a couple of hours before sunrise and Saira drinks some blood from Shaun. He insists that Saira should feed from him some more, but she refuses as he might get injured from it. The next night the team decides to go out feeding. Caleb returns to Duffy's Sports Bar in Corktown's Industrial District and turns on his charm and Presence 1. He makes friends with a white middle aged male called Liam. Caleb tries to find out of he's gay but is unable to tell, instead deciding to talk about Sports and Baseball. To get close to Liam, Caleb gives him some "Massage" and "Backbreaking" and then bites into his shoulder. Liam seems to like it but things it's a bit gay. Liam is now available as a herd for Caleb if he keeps their relationship good.

Saira begin to head out to feed in Midtown, but Emily intercept her and ask Saira to go out with her and have some fun somewhere they don't usually go. They head out to an old Gay-Club in Jefferson's Corridor called Club Gold Coast and dance and talk. Emily says that she's staying in touch with Epsilon Sigma but doesn't feel safe at campus knowing both Darsh and Daniella are there. She's started to attend a Self-Defense class, which has made it so she doesn't feel as scared all the time. Emily also seem very disapproving when Saira mentions she intend to feed, so Saira doesn't do it until Emily's taken a taxi home. Out of the women Saira feeds on, she makes sure to get the number of a White Girl named Kaylee which seem interested in hooking up with her again. If Saira makes sure to establish some kind of relationship with Kaylee then she might become a herd.

Caleb heads out to Club Gold Coast as well and flirts with some gay middle aged men who's partying there. He find a pair of guys who matches his feeding restriction and feeds.

On her way home, Saira walks through Indian Village which is located just next to The Gold Coast. She tries to keep an eye on the different mansions which were circled on the map given to them by Waits-to-Strike, but can't make anything out other then that the mansions on this street are guarded by fences and security guards that watch her as she passes through. Once back home, Saira waits for Caleb and flips through George Washington's Diary. Its extremely hard to read the old script, but it seems to tell a travel-story set from 1789-1790 when Washington toured the Eastern States (Retconned).

Caleb takes a taxi home, but asks the driver to take him around Mexicantown. They talk for a bit while Caleb also finds out what he can about Mexicantown online. Caleb learns that Mexicantown is a thriving area compared to the rest of Detroit, almost completly without blight and a local community and economy that takes care of and benefits its own people. He also finds an article online that mentions a local Bikergang which have been "cleaning up the streets" locally. The taxi-driver shows Caleb some nice bars along the main-street, as well as the famous El Club and a grande Catholic Church.

Caleb and Saira meet up and exchange information about what they learned. They dress up, Caleb with some simple jeans, a white shirt and a leather jacket and Saira with some general sparkling club clothes with a low neckline before heading to Mexicantown. They check out the outside of El Club and notice a boarded up house adjacent to the club. The line outside the entrance to the club is fairly long, but Saira gets let in just by the fact of being a girl and having appearence 4. Caleb is forced to wait in line, so they decide to snoop around the mainstreet instead. They enter a small bar that's themed with skulls and Dia de los Muertos paraphernalia and chatt up the locals. As Saira asks the bartender some questions about Mexicantown and the local bikergang, a young black woman in a biker jacket overhears (Retconned). She stands up and tells Saira to stop asking questions, and wonders who she is. Saira tries to deflect the question and flirt her way out of the situation but the woman aren't susceptible at all to this. Instead Saira is grabbed and is about to be physically thrown out of the bar when Caleb intercepts it. With some charm he de-escalates the situation and she lets both of them leave on their own. As she turns around to go back to the bar, they can see that the back of her biker jacket says "Daughters of Darkness" (Retconned).

They head back to El Club and try to lockpick their way through the back gate, but fail. Feeling like she's having a really bad day, Saira sits down by the curb in a defeated manner. Caleb gets her going again with part encouragement and part mocking, and they decide to just go in through the front door. Saira still gets in for being good looking, and Caleb just dominates the doorman to let him in. Once inside the club they step right into an ongoing rock performance. The place is pretty packed, and from the clientell it quickly dawns on Saira that her choice of generic clubbing attire stands out among all these leather jackets and punk-styles. She quickly heads to the bathrooms in the back and change up her make-up, her hairstyle, and push up even more of her cleavage. Checking around the club, the team finds three other women wearing the Daughters of Darkness jacket. Saira manages to flirt her way to join one of the bikers at her table, a latino woman in her late 30s named Ramona. Caleb makes his way up to dance with one of  the bikers, a latino woman in her early 40s called Lola (Retconned). He manages to chatt up her abit regarding the music and both of them then join Saira and Ramona at their table. Lola is pretty excited about the band playing, casually talking about having a daughter their age. Ramona meanwhile is only interested in flexing her stuff for Saira and feeling her up on her lap. Saira notices that the woman seem uncharacteristically strong for her build, and guesses that she's a ghoul.

The scene is interrupted by two additional latino Daughters of Darkness showing up to the table. One of them says that "Fun is over and there's work to be done". Lola stands and Ramona immedietly slides Saira off her lap. Ramona writes her number on Saira's arm and tells her to call if she wants to hook up. Then all four leaves.
