## Episode 3 Ending Explained
Nocturne Episode 3 ends with a mysterious call warning FBI to stop looking for Sally Gifford.

> STOP LOOKING FOR SALLY GIFFORD. SHE’S GONE. I TOOK HER. I TOOK THEM ALL. I’LL BURY THEM ALL. YOU’LL NEVER FIND THEM.
## Who’s the Girl at the End?
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.
## Sevoflurane Clacking
The Sandman uses Sevoflurane to put victims to sleep, causing glass finger clacking.

> Michael recalled that The Sandman’s fingers were made of glass. You could hear them clacking.
## Sally’s Backyard Mystery
Sally Gifford saw The Sandman in her backyard before fleeing with family.

> I don’t think they were being pursued. I think she’s scared… she saw something or someone that spooked her.
## The Symbol’s Meaning
The carved symbol in trees links to Jurek’s crime scenes and burial sites.

> The same symbol was present at the burial sites of Cassie Ford and O’Leary and Cross.
## Jurek’s Secret Cell
Jurek hides items like Jell-O cups and petroleum jelly in his cell.

> He save a plastic Jell-O cup from his meal, then use his shoe to scrape the petroleum jelly he conned Karl into slathering on his secretly self-inflicted back wounds into the Jell-O cup.
## Episode 3’s Stakes
Keeping Felicia alive maintains equal intellectual stakes for all characters.

> We wanted to answer that question. And it would have been a little bit almost preposterous that she would have already been gone, because then you wouldn’t have had the equality of smarts.
## What Happens Next?
Nocturne Episode 4 will reveal more about The Sandman and Felicia’s fate.
## Key takeaway

Nocturne Episode 3 reveals Felicia Frost is alive, with The Sandman using Sevoflurane to kidnap her.
