This week on The Whispers, Wes is dealing with the death of his wife, trying to hold it together and still keep a clear head to get closer to solving the Drill problem.

Minx says her mom would want them to fight the faceless enemy doesn’t hurt anyone else. Minx has a temperature and her head kind of hurts. She faints.

The common symptoms of headache and a fever affect the kids who had contact with Drill. Dr. Benavidez notices the kids have an abnormality in their brain. Drill is using some sort of genetic tracking device when making a connection with the children.

Claire follows flickering lights in the hospital and finds Harper in one of the rooms. She says not to worry, and that her and the other kids would be better as soon as Drill finds an Orion (not sure on spelling because we don’t know who or what this is in reference to).

Wes goes to the president with the president with the idea to quarantine the children affected by Drill as a way to isolate and protect them. This includes Sean and Claire’s son Henry. The parents are not happy with the method is using. While all this is going on the man who gave Minx and Lena a ride in the last episode is still lurking. Other parents feel like they are being followed.

Dr. Benavidez seemed to have some sort of breakthrough and is on the phone with someone. However, she doesn’t live to really tell about it and is killed by what we believe to be Drill or Drill inhabiting the body of one of the children. Wes notices a burn mark on her wrist with childlike fingers.

Sean comes face-to-face with the man who is tracking him. It ends up being a reporter for the Baltimore Observer named Daniel Goetz. He has been in contact with Benavidez after she was taken by Sean. She told him everything and said if anything happened to her to reach out to Sean. He basically can break this major big story before TMZ and essentially cause mass hysteria.

Sean brings Claire in to interview the kids to find out who that is. She asks them what they fear, dream about and concentrates on their eyes to give her a sign. Among those questioned include Henry, Harper, Minx and Silas. He starts to freak out and give off reason for Claire to delve further with him. Before he gives information she needs things start to go crazy and an alarm sounds. All the kids are rounded up as Claire goes to Silas about who Drill may have chosen. Fingers begin pointing to Minx. That poor Lawrence family can’t seem to catch a break.
