Mary supposedly finds Midnight's costume in Taryn's truck, and accuses her of being Midnight. Taryn doesn't take kindly to being accused, and uses Midnight's hypno-whip to fight off U.S. and his friends. As she tries to escape on a stolen motorcycle, U.S. gives chase and eventually stops her. As Taryn lies motionless in the road, the real Midnight appears.
