(Earth-CCC) - You walk down a poorly lit street. You see a flicker at the corner of your eye and feel your chest tighten. You turn to find that your eyes have played you tricks. The figure in the trench coat you thought you saw may be nothing more than a plastic bag blown against a hedge. Our minds desperate to make sense of imperfect visual information from our eyes invent sometimes to quickly get you important information.

But not every threatening shape is a figment of our imaginations or an error of visual perception. There are predators in trench-coats who follow the weak, the helpless, and the young. With this episode we return to parallel Earth-CCC where we find that the drama we previously were witness to has yet play itself out.
