After Toby's induction to the Foundation, he attends the ceremony and decides to choose Rachel as his mentor. Xavier Candless approaches and Toby demands answers and justice for his sister's death at their hands. However, Xavier questions on what his real purpose on joining the Foundation and tries to dissuade him from pursuing further vengeance against Rachel and the cult. Xavier offers to restore his reputation in Hope's Junction and bring him anything he wants in exchange for Toby to venture to the Steel Mill and acquire an item there though Toby is reluctant but relents.

In the Steel Mill, Toby relives his traumatic memories on the day of the accident and admits his fault in the building's collapse and the deaths of several workers. Afterwards, Toby gives the required item and demands his compensation. Xavier determines that the source of the strange phenomena stems from him being the supposed culprit of the Steel Mill accident and asks him to sacrifice himself to save the town from the phenomena but Toby rejects and leaves. Outside, Toby laments on whether to escape town, sacrifice himself or wonders if he should kill Rachel.
