Adrian Knox inspects hospital security footage and discovers static during the original test. He takes a fresh oral swab from Sophie Hart and sends Marcus to an independent lab. Celeste Ward observes them and plots to remove the child. She lures Sophie to the parking lot under the pretext of returning Elena's repaired pendant. Sophie secretly records their talk, spots the vehicle from an earlier chase, and flees as a hitman drives directly at her.
Adrian Knox reviews hospital surveillance recordings from the night of the initial test and finds static. Marcus explains that the cameras suffered a sudden failure during that time window. Adrian looks at the blank screens and questions the timing of the glitch.
00:08: A New Swab Sample
Sophie Hart cleans her comatose mother's hand while crying and whispering apologies. Adrian enters the room, hands Sophie her lost sketchbook, and collects an oral swab from her cheek for an official retest instead of relying on the previous paperwork.
00:33: Instructions for Marcus
Celeste Ward watches from the corridor as Adrian leaves with Sophie. While Celeste plots to silence the girl permanently, Adrian hands the new swab to Marcus and orders him to deliver it directly to an outside, independent testing facility.
00:56: The Pendant Trap
Sophie returns to find Celeste standing beside Elena's bed. Celeste claims she repaired Elena's pendant and left it in her car outside. Sophie agrees to fetch it, but she quietly switches on the voice recorder on her smartwatch first.
01:50: Chase in the Lot
In the lot, Sophie spots a license plate matching her mother's crash audio. After Sophie finds the moon pendant in the car, Celeste commands a hired hitman to kill her. Sophie sprints across the asphalt as the car speeds forward.

How Episode 5 Ends
