Opening quote: "I am going off to a house and entering it like a snake... I will devour their babes and make their hearts ache."
Meisner (Damien Puckler) aids Adalind (Claire Coffee) in giving birth to the baby, and also restoring Adalind's powers as a Hexenbiest. Back in Portland, a creature stalks a pregnant woman, Dana Tomas (Tess Paras), to her room and uses his extremely large tongue to poke it on her belly button. Dana then cuts the creature's tongue and it flees before falling unconscious.
Wu (Reggie Lee) and Sgt. Franco (Robert Blanche) are called to the scene to investigate, whom Wu recognizes as a friend that suggested to move to Portland. Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) are also called and while trying to regain consciousness, Dana whispers "Aswang". Dana's husband, Sam (Alain Uy) calls his brother in Manila to inform about the events and then he woges into the creature that attacked Dana.
Meisner calls Renard (Sasha Roiz) for help after aiding Adalind, making sure that they will leave Austria. Wu begins to reminisce about an old story he heard as a boy from an "Aswang", a monster from the Philippines that stalks pregnant woman and then eat their children. Valerian root is found on Dana's system and is then set to leave the hospital for her home. Sam knows that her mother could be involved in the attack and confronts her in her hotel room. Lani (Freda Foh Shen) explains that if she doesn't kill the baby, she will die, but Sam does not listen and brushes her off, angering her.
