In Hampton Court, England (1555), Queen Mary I (aka Mary Tudor and "Bloody Mary") delivers her own baby after throwing everyone else out of the room. Her sister Elizabeth enters the filthy and excessively bloody birthing suite, seemingly alone with the new mother. Mary insists that the baby, expected to be the heir to the throne, is a monster. Two women garbed in black materialize and tell the queen it is time to part with the baby and that he has waited six thousand years to be born. Elizabeth is incredulous that Mary would promise her child to these witches in exchange for a fruitful kingdom, and when she protests their assertion that Elizabeth will herself (during her reign) they curse her with a barren womb. As Elizabeth doubles over in pain, the witches vanish with the newborn (who has talons). Mary demands that her sister leave and Elizabeth crawls away.
In the present, Anna examines the rotting raccoon off the patio as Dex calls for her. She asks him why he lied about where he was and he replies that he didn't; he reminds her that he told her about Sonia's pop-up show at the local gallery. She mentions that Ms. Preecher is in town and that she suspects the older woman is the one altering her calendar. Dex repeats that Cora warned them both about Preecher. Anna is confused how he would know about that conversation, but Dex tells her that Cora told them both when checking out at the last appointment. They will return to the clinic for a check-up after her meeting the next day with Siobhan. After Dex leaves, Anna gathers up the raccoon and carries it into the house. Nicolette asks about it, noting the odd action regarding a dead animal; Anna claims the raccoon (which was clearly decomposing) may not be dead, and that she will attempt to nurse it back to health. When Nicolette protests further, Anna sends her home. Anna enters the basement and lays the bloody corpse in a bassinet as if it were a baby. A black cat watches from a shelf. As she leaves the basement, she thinks she hears chanting. In their bedroom, Dex initiates romance, but Anna is reluctant. They both want a return to normalcy, and resign themselves for the night that it is not to be.
The next day, the pair head to the city. Before leaving, Anna catches a fleeting glimpse of a witch. At Siobhan's office, Anna meets with Ashley and Ashleigh, crisis experts who will assist in her image rehabilitation in anticipation of the Golden Globes. They plan to revitalize her brand appeal rating with a social media clip with a feminist anthem. Anna is reluctant to participate in social media, but they leave her few options.
Returning to their Brooklyn Heights apartment, the couple is happy to be home. Anna is wary of the new security sensor installed on the ceiling, though Kamal insists it is not a camera. They are surprised to see Dex's mother, Virginia, staying at the apartment. Virginia offers to help in any way, then asks for a private conversation with Dex; she wants him to testify on her behalf in a civil suit against his father. Meanwhile, Anna discovers her hair is falling out in clumps. She regards the already fractured and stained mirror and destroys the glass in a rage.
During her miscarriage follow-up, Dr Hill is astonished to find a fetal heartbeat. Dex is elated but confused. Hill explains that Anna must have experienced "vanishing twin" syndrome, where she was pregnant with twins but only one was detected and accounted for; the miscarriage, he reasons, must have only been one twin. Before twelve weeks, detecting multiple fetuses in a pregnancy is difficult. The couple leaves full of joy. Once in the parking garage, Anna sees the oddly dressed woman from weeks before standing at a distance; the woman removes her sunglasses to reveal she is Ivy, the sonogram nurse. Ivy leaves quickly, before Anna can point her out to Kamal and Dex.
The next day, Hamish and Siobhan have sex in his apartment. Their affair has been going on for some time, but while Hamish claims to love her, Siobhan considers the sex purely transactional.
