Meanwhile, Isobel and Gregory start down the stairs to safety with Reba’s help. . Lilly’s showing every sign of going into premature labor. Isobel wonders if Essex and the other angelic vampires need help.
What Marcus doesn't know is Lilly, who is possibly in early labor is helped out of the building with Gregory, Isobel, and Reba. And they have taken the vampiric angels, including Essex, with them.
