Episode Summary:
In this haunting chapter of Blades of Glass, Sunday morning dawns bright and deceivingly innocent. Children laugh in the courtyard, coffee brews quietly in a Lewisville townhouse, and the trauma of the previous night simmers just beneath the surface. But peace is fleeting. As Willow tries to ground herself after a terrifying dream—and a deeply unsettling encounter with a man who seems more shadow than substance—a quiet dread creeps into the waking world. Meanwhile, a mysterious drifter watches, always watching. The line between memory and nightmare fractures further, and it’s clear: something unnatural has been set in motion.
