The following morning, Hank awoke to the inviting aroma of bacon, eggs, sausage, and pancakes. He gradually became aware of his nakedness and noticed that Billie had kindly laid out some fresh clothes for him. Accompanying the clothes was a note that read, "I hope these fit. I occasionally wear men's clothing. I trust you don't mind looking like a country boy today. Feel free to use the blue toothbrush in my bathroom." As Hank's surroundings came into clearer focus, he observed posters adorning the walls, featuring iconic horror characters such as Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, and Jason Voorhees. In one corner of the room, he spotted an almost complete Michael Myers costume, lacking only the mask. Intriguingly, when he checked the size of the clothes Billie had provided, he found them to be an exact match for his own measurements. Upon entering the kitchen, Hank found everyone seated at the table. He approached Billie from behind, wrapped his arms around her, kissed her neck, and greeted her with, "Good morning, Honeybear." Billie turned to face him and cheerfully responded, "Good morning, Silver-Haired Fox," before they shared a kiss. Rufus then interjected, "You know, I heard you both last night, even though you tried to be quiet. Remember, Billie, my room is next to yours." Ana, who was six added, "Yes, Mama, I heard you too. Our room is just across the hall from yours." Henry chimed in, "Yeah, Mama, it's a good thing you don't hide those things from us." Billie glanced at Hank and remarked, "Well, at least we don't have to announce that we are a couple now." Rufus replied, "I knew you brought Hank home; I heard you both come in last night." After breakfast, both Billie and Hank received text messages on their phones from Jay Halstead, indicating that they had a new case to solve.
The simultaneous arrival of Billie and Hank at the crime scene astonished everyone, yet no one raised any questions about it. The scene was gruesome; a family of five had been brutally attacked, with the youngest victim being merely three years old. The ten-year-old sibling managed to escape. On the wall beside each body, the phrase "May the demon inside you be banished" was spray-painted, and a small kitten was placed in a box next to each victim. The investigative team was perplexed, and after two days, they remained unable to decipher the significance of the kittens. On the third day of working the case, Billie returned home to check on her household and to bring Riker back, as he was unwell. She found her children watching Supernatural, and suddenly, a realization struck her. Billie hurried upstairs and exclaimed, "I have figured it out! Listen to me: each victim was stabbed through the heart with a sharp object, and the phrase 'May the demon inside you be banished' was spray-painted on the wall, with a kitten left beside each body. I cannot believe I did not see this sooner. This perpetrator, who I am certain is a man—no woman could overpower a grown man in such a manner—believes he is a real-life Winchester. He murdered the family because he thought they were possessed by demons. As for the kittens, historically and in contemporary beliefs, priests have held that cats can ward off evil spirits. Thus, he placed the kittens next to the bodies to prevent the demons from returning. Since the ten-year-old escaped, he believes the demon that inhabited her has vacated her body, and he is now searching for the demon's new host, willing to pursue anyone, even an infant." Just as Billie finished speaking, Kevin's desk phone rang; a three-month-old baby had been abducted from his mother by a young man. The team quickly prepared to search for the man and the baby. While driving past a warehouse, Billie noticed men fleeing from it. She halted her vehicle, and one man shouted, "A guy ran in there with a baby and a kitten; he had a knife." Billie called Hank, "Hank, the suspect is located at the warehouse on 12th Street." Hank responded, "Billie, wait for backup." Billie insisted, "No Hank, he is going to harm the baby." She then entered the warehouse, where a kitten approached her and dashed toward a doorway, glancing back to ensure she was following. Following the kitten, she discovered the suspect poised with a knife above the baby. She commanded, "Drop the knife," but he shook his head in refusal and prepared to stab the infant. In response, Billie fired her weapon, striking him. Once the suspect collapsed, she swiftly picked up both the baby and the kitten. Hank and the rest of the team soon arrived, and Billie accompanied the ambulance to the hospital with the kitten in her arms. The baby's parents expressed their gratitude by hugging Billie for saving their child. Afterward, Billie mentioned that the kitten had also played a crucial role in the rescue, leading the parents to adopt it. Later, Hank visited Billie's residence. Upon entering her room, Billie requested, "Let me hear you, Hank." Hank responded, "What exactly do you want me to say, Billie? That I am furious? That I am angry because you defied a direct order? Indeed, I am incensed. Your actions could have resulted in harm or worse." Billie replied, "I want you to be angry with me, Hank. I disobeyed you and I do not want you to go easy on me just because of my disabilities. I want you to punish me." Hank stared at her for a few moments and then asked, "You have not been disciplined before, have you?" Billie responded, "No." Hank then asserted, "Well, I am going to discipline you." He instructed Billie to undress, attached a leash to the collar around her neck, and roughly inserted his penis into her anal region, he moved roughly and rhythmically, intensifying his actions with Billie's reactions. When she struggled for breath, he momentarily loosened his hold, only for her to urge him to continue with greater fervor. Meanwhile, her family—children, parents, and siblings—remained in the living room, seemingly unfazed by the commotion. Her son, Henry, casually remarked, "Well, Mama's having fun with Hank." Hank persisted with his actions until he reached climax. Afterwards, he stood Billie up, placed his hand around her neck, and queried, "Are you going to listen to your sergeant now?" Billie replied seductively, "Yes sir. I might just disobey you again so you can punish me again." Hank responded, "I look forward to it," and they shared a kiss. Once Billie was dressed, they both descended to the living room, where Rufus mentioned, "We ordered pizza while you two were upstairs. It's still hot, thank goodness the pizza place is only a four-minute drive away." After everyone had dinner and Billie fed the dogs, the family retired for the night, leaving the pets downstairs.
