Episode 3 Ending Explained

The girl in the mask is Felicia Frost, alive after Episode 3’s 'Felicia Search Day 4'.
“Yes! Episode 3 takes place on 'Felicia Search Day 4' and though Nocturne’s writers could have kept the fact that Felicia (Abigail Donaghy) is still alive a mystery until much later in the season, Hlavin and the team felt it was important that viewers had the key piece of information early on.”
Who’s The Sandman?
The Sandman is Jurek’s accomplice with glass fingers who kidnaps Felicia.
“Mom always said that The Sandman came in the night. That’s why you fell asleep.”
