The situation is stable when a strange string of murders among the ranks of local football players leads the police and the human media to the Tulsa House of Night. At her first parent visitation, Zoey is reunited with her family for the first time in a month. With them comes her grandmother, but is saddened to notice the stiffness of her parents, which contrasts strongly with the loving and friendly behavior of Stevie Rae's mother. Neferet comes upon their meeting and is almost immediately engaged in a religious dispute by Zoey's stepfather. In the ensuing argument, Zoey's parents vow never to come to the House of Night again, and Neferet kicks them out.
