This episode is crucial for understanding Lauren's reasoning in agreeing to work with Kieran.  
We continue with the riot scene. The man on the statue hurls insults at the APD, outnumbered by an angry crowd.   
Our friendly assassin has the nerve to DARE Lauren to call him out, but violence breaks out before Lauren can do so. The police move to break it up, and uncle Tristan arrives and calms the crowd.  Lauren hears a lie and begs to detain the man, but once again, her power is disregarded and she is powerless.   
And that's how she finds herself on the bridge at midnight, about to "get the keys from the devil himself." (quote from Meg's novelization of Chapter 9- read it below!)
