Erica questions Blake about this knowledge, to what he answers that he studied the file of Erica's father. He urges Erica to move to Delphi House, where him and Chief Insp. David Caulker will be leading the leading the investigation arguing that she'd be safer there.

Erica and Blake arrive to Delphi House later that night. He makes a call outside and tells Erica to wait inside for the desk clerk. After a brief introduction to Dr. Rosa Ballard and David Caulker Blake tells Erica to have some rest and forget about her rough encounter with Karl Steinbeck, the desk clerk.

Day 1
Blake joins Lucien and Erica and proceeds to explain that is extremely likely that whoever killed Jared also killed Erica's father, rising the suspicion that there are more victims out there. He admits there are not much they can go on and advises Erica about Flower's treatment that could help her remember information about the night her father was murdered. If Erica Hesitates about the therapy, Blake would beg Erica to try it so they can get some information.

Day 2


Blake returns once again and provides information about the package and its content. He tells Erica the piece of skin belonged to Karl Steinbeck (the desk clerk). He also mentions that they are not certain of Steinbeck's fate at this moment. Blake enquirers about the porcelain doll Erica received. If Erica Talks about the birthmark Blake would learn the doll has a tattoo of a butterfly resembling Erica's birthmark. Erica and Blake head back to Erica's apartment following Blake's advise. He draws his gun once they both realize someone forced their way in Erica's apparent. They shortly after find Erica's apartment completely destroyed. After knocking on the neighbors Blake decides to break into the neighbor's apartment when nobody answered his call, convinced that the weird smell coming out of the apartment meant bad news. He orders Erica to remain in her apartment while he investigates. Blake would inform about Steinbeck's fate IF Erica doesn't find the body first.

Erica, Lucien and Blake head to the Chief Caulker's house. Erica questions the decision at first but moves on quickly. The identity of the Killer is revealed to be Mia Greene, a patient form Delphi House whom was very close to Alodie, Erica's mom. Blake receives a call and is urged to go back to Delphi House, he tells Erica to stay put.

After the events later in that night, Blake talks with Erica and reassures she'll be okay. Depending on what Erica did in the game Blake would sit Rick next to Erica to comfort her, prompting the option To kiss Blake. Otherwise, he would just tell her to rest.

Blake's fate
Depending on what Erica did, Blake's story changes. However, regardless of how things unravel, Blake would always die.

When Blake asks Erica one more time, if Erica decides to tell the truth about Greene's whereabouts they'd head to the warehouse where Mia is waiting for Erica.

Erica founds an altar made apparently for her mother, with a picture of her under Oleander petals. Shortly after Mia Greene shows up and slits Blake's throat, killing him almost instantly and knocking out Erica.

If Erica decides to Lie to Blake, Erika hears a conversation between Dr. Ballard and Blake about Erica, showing that Blake really cares for Erica.

Later one however, if Erica overhears Flowers and Blake talking about her by the epsilon gate his behavior its pretty different, showing a more darker side, clearly plotting against Erica.

Once Mia and Erica team up, the encounter between Blake and Erica varies.

If Erica decides to Lie to Blake, and she goes into Delphi House Armed, Blake would jump on Erica and engage in a fight with her. He would then aim his gun at Erica after she stabs him, finally admitting he believed in her, but after all she has done there is no other alternative. He gets shot in the head by Mia Greene shortly after meeting his demise.

If Erica decides to Lie to Blake, and she goes into Delphi House Unarmed, she would find Blake wandering around the building. He would tell her he's been looking for Erica this whole time and that he was very worried. After Erica talks to Blake (either warning Blake or telling him she knows everything) Mia Greene walks pass Erica and shoots Blake before he could react.

Lastly, Mia Greene would admit Blake was also plotting against Erica. However, it seems he might not have been against Erica completely.
