A FEW DAYS LATER, Alec realized he had left his jacket at Ben's place and planned to go back to grab it before meeting with May for a date. May suggested meeting at Ben's and going from there, which Alec agreed to. May was the first to arrive at Ben's house, not seeing Alec, so she took it upon herself to get Alec's jacket.
May opened the door and let herself in, knowing Ben wouldn't mind. However, inside was Erik rather than Ben. May was a little uncomfortable with Erik but still asked for Alec's jacket, which Erik pointed to on another couch, very annoyed.
The Grant girl thanked him, grabbing the jacket before trying to play nice with Erik while she waited for Alec and asked him about his major for school. But Erik told her he wasn't a student, stating some propaganda to her, which the girl didn't believe, telling him his beliefs were bleak. This upset Erik and he stormed out of the room and into his bedroom, leaving May alone.
May just sat down, figuring to wait inside for Alec, and noticed Erik had left his notebook on the floor. When she opened it and read it, she realized it was Erik's manifesto with plans of destruction inside. Growing scared, May ran out of the house with the notebook and immediately called her mom, who told her to stay far from the house and away from Erik, which she did. May didn't notice Alec pull into the house and go inside for his jacket.
Once inside, Alec notices Erik searching for something, looking very upset.
"Hey man, you okay?" Alec asked, but Erik ignored him.
"Where is it?" Erik muttered.
"Um, I'm just here for my jacket, which I left the other night. Have you seen it?" Alec asked, looking around the room for his jacket, making Erik stop and look at him. "What's wrong?"
