After the events of the past weekend— Eyghon, Jenny, the terrifying possession and his own mortifying breakdown over it all— Giles feels that he owes the kids an explanation. Part apology and part penance, he decides to take them to the beach after school to soften the blow of what he has to say. Of course, none of this goes according to plan.

Or, alternatively titled: coming out as a murderer to your surrogate children is hard.
