In the garage, [[Mariah]] and Darius chat. Starkey joins them and apologises to Darius for hitting a "raw circuit". Darius regrets snapping at him. He says it's about the Last Precinct but it's old news to him. At the front door, Gryffen finds two CCPCs accusing him of conducting illegal experiments. He tells them they have the wrong house. The head CCPC persists but Gryffen tells them to take it up with [[June Turner|June]]. The CCPC pushes him aside. As they enter, K9 finds something odd about the CCPC's energy signal; it shouldn't be functioning. The CCPC uses a device on K9, knocking him out. Gryffen realises the device is not standard issue and this is not a CCPC. When Jorjie uses her mother's override code, the CCPC doesn't comply. Gryffen tries to protect Jorjie but is restrained by the CCPCs, who declare that they are all under house arrest as Jorjie calls for Darius. | In the garage, [[Mariah]] and Darius chat.

The CCPC takes off his mask, revealing a [[human]] called [[Halloran]]. He tells Jorjie he is human and his comrade is a CCPC with a few minor adjustments. When Gryffen demands they leave, another human police officer with a CCPC says this is their house and always has been; he has come through a secret entrance unknown to Gryffen. He announces that this is the final stand of the Last Precinct. Starkey arrives with Darius, who is shocked to see the officer, just as the officer is to see Darius. Halloran asks Sergeant Pike if he knows Darius. Pike says that Darius is his son. | The CCPC takes off his mask, revealing a [[human]] called [[Halloran]].

At the [[Department Mobile HQ]], [[Thorne]] watches as four CCPCs approach the house. He sees Pike's message to the Department, announcing he has commandeered this police station for the Last Precinct. He makes demands: the immediate deactivation of all CCPC units and the CCPC cloning plant shut down in forty-eight hours. As he makes his third demand, Thorne orders it shut off. The [[Department Technician (Curse of Anubis)|Department Technician]] protests but Thorne says it's on a loop. When Thorne makes a loop joke he is irritated that the only humorous thing he will say in his life is wasted on the technician. June arrives to ask what is going on. She is glad Jorjie is at the library during this hostage situation. Thorne's face reveals that Jorjie is not at the library. | At the [[Department Mobile HQ]], [[Thorne]] watches as four CCPCs approach the house.
