all comes to an end the next morning, when Jack receives a phone call that Maggie's body was found shot to death in her motel, probably soon after Jack had dropped her off. Initially believing that Maggie was involved in some sort of blackmail scheme, police later discover that a suitcase filled with $10,000 was left untouched in Maggie's closet, meaning Maggie's death was not money-related, and that something bigger than blackmail was going on. Heartbroken and frustrated, Jack begins yet another round of investigations. In his investigations, Jack learns that the Joseph Lunar's name is actually Virgil.

The parents at the communal lived separate from their children. The children were all put together and placed in their own dormitory, where adults would take turns taking shifts to watch the kids. In the meantime, the parents would indulge in Free Love. However, Virgil soon began encouraging the children to participate in sexual activities too. He wanted the children to
