The next morning, Trudy is at breakfast.
"Trudy!" Everyone hugs her.
"Oh, I missed you guys, too!" Trudy smiles.
"We're so glad you're back!" Elayna exclaims.
"It took a lot!" Tyler groans.
Everyone laughs.

At school, the Sibuna Club talks in the lounge.
"So, we need to talk about Victor being the same age as from the photo." Danya says. "I missed out."
"We have a theory." Jamal says.
Annika takes a deep breath. "We think Victor has an Elixir of Life. A potion that makes you live forever."
"Maybe that's what he was drinking in the basement!" Danya suggests.
"We should probably take some from the basement." Elayna states. "Tonight."

In the field, Mark trains with Savanna.
"Faster!" Savanna encourages. "You can do it!"
Mark finishes his run.
"That's your best record!" Savanna smiles.
"Really?! Thank you!" Mark smiles.
Mark runs to Savanna and pulls her into a kiss.

That night, the Sibuna Club sneaks into the basement through the passage.
"Which vile is it?" Annika asks, pointing to all of the liquids.
"I think this one?" Jamal grabs one and puts it in his pocket.
They hear a distant scream again.
"What was that?!" Elayna freezes.
"Guys......." Danya shakes.
The cabinet door opens and the Sibuna Club screams when they see zombies behind the doors.
