[Announcer.]
Previously on I'm gonna reIease Kevin from his bondage to me tonight.

What the heII are you doing? [grunts.]
I need you to teII me aII you know about the power transference you performed on me.
I have somepIace I'd Iike to show you.
Think of this as a charging station.
Take too much, and you couId permanentIy damage your energy source.
It's not Iike you're married or anything.
I mean I'm wiIIing to fight for you, but I just need to know what I'm up against.
I need to know where eIse I can get the Saint.
[Man.]
Why don't you try the Iair? They grow it by the busheI in the back.
[Adam.]
I feeI fucked up.
Things were going so weII, why wouId you do this? [Grace.]
I've identified the energy.
[crying.]
Why are you doing this to me? Join us.
The House of Shadows.
What you see is what is to come.
Adam.
Your experience with our sacred pIant has given you prophetic sight.
For aII our sakes, that better not be true.
I found this weird box underwater.
Some of these symboIs Iook Iike ancient [eIectric expIosion.]
If you wiII share my vision with me, then I wiII pIedge my aIIegiance to you, as your Aspirant.
Ambrosius's power fIows to me.
I'm free.
Like a knife in my heart l'm dying Dying to be with you Burning inside me Dying, dying to be Like a moth to a flame l'm dying Dying to be with you Run but you can't hide Dying Dying to be with you l can't kill this deep desire for you l must have the rush of capturing you l can't save myself from thinking of you l won't stop until the day l do Burning inside me Burning inside me Dying to be with you Dying to be with you With you [thunder.]
[Diana.]
I must have my powers back.
You know as weII as I do, the Tresum CounciI's word is Iaw.
You don't understand, it's not supposed to be Iike this.
Diana, it's over.
Quit now, or things wiII onIy get much, much worse.
Trust me.
Which is preciseIy why I shouId be aIIowed to right these wrongs.
I've given my Iife to Tresum.
The answer is no.
You shouIdn't be here.
I had to see you.
Come on, Britt.
You know we're good together.
Things are good with EIena.
I don't want to fuck it up by drudging up oId fIames.
Oh, is that aII I am to you? I'm sorry.
No, no.
I-I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I even came back here.
I don't know what I was thinking.
You know, with my famiIy gone, I thought I'd get a IittIe support.
Support I can give you.
You're my friend, MicheIIe.
Then you'II heIp me.
Of course I wiII.
Listen.
I found this Tresum speII that wiII heIp reveaI the truth about the past, maybe heIp me figure out what happened to my parents.
You're the onIy one I trust to do this with me, Britt.
Whoa, I'm a scientist.
I have no interest in this otherworIdIy buIIshit.
You said you'd heIp.
Tresum is nothing but troubIe.
Yeah, weII, that's what I toId Van, too.
But when you Iose everyone you Iove, aII bets are off.
Just wait, you'II see.
What the heII is that supposed to mean? Nothing.
I-I don't know.
I- It's just There may come a time for you, too, when magic seems Iike the onIy hope.
Not IikeIy.
We just have to find another way, okay? [Griffin.]
KneeIing before you and our ancestors, I pour my Iight into the powers of Tresum.
KneeIing before you and our ancestors, I pour my Iight into the powers of Tresum.
I pIedge to serve the wiII of the CounciI, and the wiII of my Avatar, Griffin.
I pIedge to serve the wiII of the CounciI, and the wiII of my Avatar, Griffin.
WeII done, Grace.
I'm proud of you.
It had to be done.
I'm your servant now.
Grace NeviIIe is no one's servant.
But, I'm your Aspirant.
Yes, and an Aspirant is a partner.
Partner? In what sense? In every sense.
Is this what an Aspirant pIedge means to the Tresum CounciI? I know this has no pIace in a pIedge ceremony.
I shouId have kept my mouth shut.
Ninety-five more miles to go Traveling down that same road We've both been down before, before Light four finger touch on the dashboard Remain as l'm watching you Hop aboard to the backseat arms And as the clock turns neon green And the windshield, it begins to clear Hey, yeah, hey, yeah We'll take a look At our perfect moment spent Sitting here raindrops in our eyes What a big surprise Yeah, oh, what a big surprise Twenty-five more miles to go now And see when all of the bluebird skies Break on through all the clouds l forgot about the direction l was goin' You know, I've never Are you sure you want me to? [breathes heaviIy.]
I've never been so sure of anything in my Iife.
[moaning.]
Take a look at our perfect moment spent Sitting here [moaning.]
Oh, what a big surprise Hey, yeah, oh, what a big surprise Toby.
Toby! I did it.
My pIan is compIete.
You did what? What pIan? I broke free of Bro.
That asshoIe didn't even see it comin'.
You toId me you were happy.
I saw you.
I had to say that because of the braceIet, but it's gone.
I toId you that when I came to see you.
You never came to see me.
Remember? The Iawn chair? Outside? The hot tub, come on, you can't-- you can't forget that.
N-n-no, but those were dreams.
Toby, I was there.
I Iearned the powers of Tresum.
I came to you through astraI projection.
Tresum? Kevin, what the heII are you taIking about? I've been steaIing Bro's power IittIe by IittIe.
Every day, gaining strength.
I did it for us.
I did it for you.
Kevin.
Kevin.
Kevin.
[grunting.]
[breathing heaviIy.]
Power of the Sun, grant me eyes to see Kevin.
Show him to me.
I'm sorry, you Iooked so Iuminous, I had to have my way with you.
[chuckIing.]
First of aII, I had my way with you.
[both chuckIing.]
And you have nothing to be sorry about.
I'd begun to give up hope.
But aII those centuries of waiting were worth it.
I'm honored.
TruIy.
So, now you can interpret my shadow visions? [chuckIing.]
How refreshing.
An Aspirant giving orders to her Avatar.
Mm-hm.
[whirring.]
HeIIo? Britt? Is that you? [R & B.]
[thunder.]
[high-pitched whirring.]
Oh, God! [breathing heaviIy.]
Whoa.
[door opening.]
Who's there? [door creaks.]
Who the fuck is there? [door creaks.]
[breathing heaviIy.]
Motherfucker! Whoa, jeez! Are you-- are you okay? Oh, my God.
Thank God it's you.
Did you see? Something was chasing me.
[thunder.]
There's nobody here but me.
[high-pitched whirring.]
It's you.
[grunting.]
[growIing.]
Ugh! [screaming.]
[moaning.]
[Britt.]
EIena, I'm home.
Hey, Babe, I'm back.
EIena? EIena! Jesus! Um [panting.]
Somebody heIp us! Toby, Adam, Grace, anybody, pIease! Jesus! [Toby.]
What happened? I don't fucking know, just caII 911.
Oh, my God.
Oh, God.
CaII them! What's goin' on? What happened? I don't know.
I just came in and found her Iike this.
AII right, caIm down.
Shit.
It's busy.
What do you mean it's fucking busy? DiaI again.
Okay.
AII right, just caIm down.
It's gonna be okay.
We're gonna get heIp, It's gonna be fine.
It's not going through.
Let's-- Let's take her to the hospitaI ourseIves.
There's not enough time to take her to the hospitaI! She Iost a Iot of bIood and she's gonna die if we don't do something.
AII right, wait, wait, wait.
I can do a heaIing speII, uh, - from Bro's book.
- Are you fucking crazy? I can do it, I know I can.
Britt, it's worked before.
Um, I just--I just gotta get the book, it's, uh it's back at Bro's pIace.
If we're gonna use magic, Grace is here.
We need a reaI doctor, not a fucking witch doctor.
Britt, it's our onIy chance.
Kevin, go get the book.
I'm gonna go get Grace.
Stay with me, baby.
You're gonna be okay.
You're gonna be okay.
God, pIease don't die.
PIease don't die.
You know, it-it's funny, I'm beginning to feeI my-- my power stabiIizing.
[knocking.]
Grace? Grace, are you in there? He can't see you here.
Grace, it's Toby.
Let me in.
[knocking.]
WeII, this had better be a matter of Iife and death.
It is! It is! Grace.
The bitch is back.
Ah, so you come crawIing back.
If you think I'm not gonna punish you-- Where's the Sun Book? I treat you Iike a prince, and this is how you repay me? If you know where that book is, you'd better teII me right now.
Why are you doing this? It's got nothing to do with you.
You are mine.
You aIways wiII be.
Oh, God.
Look at you.
You're pathetic.
But I Iove you.
Possession isn't Iove, Bro.
You can't force someone to Iove you.
[sighing.]
[door sIams.]
[moaning.]
[EIena screaming.]
What is it? EIena's faIIen victim to the House of Shadows.
What are you taIking about? Judging from this wound, the Shadows have found a human host.
Okay, but why EIena? What the fuck did she ever do to theseShadows? I don't know.
What I do know is the Shadow power wiII grow untiI either they kiII us aII, or take us over.
Okay, you know what? Enough of this Armageddon taIk.
We just got to get EIena to the hospitaI.
MortaI doctors can't heIp.
But pIease know, there's more to this wound than meets the eye.
Even magic might not be enough.
[pop.]
Hey.
What can I get you? Vodka.
On the rocks.
Hey, Boss Man.
I have business to attend to in my office, be sure that I am not disturbed.
Okay.
Hmm.
What's up with him? I don't know.
You know, Kevin was here earIier Iookin' for something in Bro's office.
Kevin, you're not as smart as you think.
HeaIing waters, fIow through me.
SeaI this wound with the strength of the sea.
[moaning.]
Is she okay? For now.
My speII stabiIized her, but I must find the Moon Book.
There's a speciaI speII unique to EIena's wound.
Kevin went to get the Sun Book from Bro.
That's aII you need, right? It's not as simpIe as that.
I'm a Moon witch.
I-I can't read the text in the Sun Book.
Kevin can read it for you.
Kevin's a novice.
He's intoxicated by power.
Something this grave requires someone very experienced, and I know just the person.
FIame burn heart bind.
An Aspirant's devotion reborn in fIame.
FIame, fIame, burn, burn as I speak the name Kevin.
[sighing.]
[grunting.]
I'II take another over here.
I'II take another over here.
HoId on.
Have a drink with me.
Look, I can't.
There's no time.
I need more power, Iots more.
I have to get Kevin back.
What happened to ''If you Iove something, set it free?'' He didn't give me a chance to set him free, but he wiII come back to me, even if I have to drag him by his hair.
Here you are.
I may be new to this whoIe bartender thing, but I can teII when a dude's whipped.
You got it bad for someone.
No, not me.
I'm a free agent.
See? What'd I teII you? If you say so.
Take one last look at yourself and tell me Emotionally, that you're not ready for me Because l'm livin', l'm feelin' dangerous The thing is, and l'm feelin' so anxious for you Oh, l'm feelin' anxious for you Come on, and show me what you wanna do 'Cause l'm, l'm feelin' dangerous Dangerous l'm kinda caught up in the craziness The way you're livin' is contagious So can we taIk a IittIe first? [chuckIes.]
I don't taIk.
I fuck.
Sorry.
Maybe next time.
Hop in.
[chuckIes.]
Ahhh.
Yeah.
- [rustIing.]
- [bird screeching.]
Wait, wait.
Did you hear something? Uh-uh.
Don't mind me.
Ugh! [both grunting.]
[both exhaIe deepIy.]
Is Griffin here? I must speak with him at once.
Speak of the deviI.
[sighing.]
Rather pubIic, aren't we? Sorry.
Come with me, pIease? Let's go.
[panting.]
[grunting.]
He Iooks Iike shit.
So do you.
[panting.]
Perhaps I just need a boost from you.
Join, unite, show Join our eyes and ears [screaming.]
[gasping.]
[stabbing.]
[screaming.]
Shadows! The House of Shadows.
No! It's MicheIIe.
MicheIIe is the Shadow Host.
Her resurrection at the SoIstice was the portaI.
[panting.]
Toby? Toby? Oh, shit.
MicheIIe.
Is it true? I heard EIena was kiIIed.
She was attacked, but she's aIive.
Oh, my God.
Is she-- Is she gonna make it? We don't know yet.
Grace went to get somebody to heIp.
God, Britt must be so worried.
Where are they? They're up in the Iiving room, I'm just going to the garage to get a first aid kit.
Okay.
We'II need Ambrosius too.
Maybe now he'II beIieve me.
I think Bro has other things on his mind at the moment.
Right now, there are no other things.
I know where he went.
I'II round him up.
What's the big emergency? A horribIe eviI has come to Dante's Cove.
You've seen it in your visions.
That shit's reaI? OnIy too reaI.
Your friends, EIena and Mark are onIy the first of many victims to come.
[Griffin.]
You come with me.
I may need your heIp with Ambrosius.
I gotta get someone to cover the bar.
And you, stay here, out of harm's way.
Oh, no.
I must get back to EIena.
I can't Iet MicheIIe get anywhere near her.
As your Avatar, I insist that you stay here-- [Iaughs.]
Oh, you don't think I'm actuaIIy bound by that siIIy oath, do you? Of course you are.
You said the pIedge, you accepted my medaIIion.
You switched the medaIIions.
So the words I spoke during the ceremony [sniffing.]
meant nothing.
And the words you spoke after? Those, my dear those meant everything.
[sighing.]
But Grace NeviIIe is no one's Aspirant.
AII right.
It's aII good.
I'm covered.
Let's go.
Let's go! [thunder.]
[thunder.]
Britt.
Is EIena okay? So far.
[sighing.]
I thought you might need some heIp.
[sobbing.]
It's okay.
I'm here now.
[panting.]
[grunting.]
[moaning and grunting.]
Bro? What the fuck? [grunts.]
No, no.
This is gIorious.
[moaning.]
I'm just trying to figure it out.
Why EIena? Maybe EIena was a probIem for the Shadows.
Maybe she had to die.
She's not dead.
Don't say that.
What wouId I do without her? It'II hurt.
But you'II adjust, you'II have to, just Iike I did.
You're supposed to make me feeI better.
I'm sorry.
It's just I know how much it hurts to Iose someone you Iove.
I have an idea.
What is it? The Moon Book of Tresum.
What are you doing with that? It's aII I have Ieft of Van.
Jesus, you're the Iast person I thought wouId get invoIved with this shit.
I think I found a speII that can heIp EIena.
Grace aIready tried some buIIshit speII and it-- How do you know she didn't do this to EIena? Why wouId you say that? Do you know something? If I were you, I'd want EIena's fate in my own hands.
Not Grace's.
[sighing.]
[techno.]
[grunts in pain.]
What the heII happened to you? He's here aII right.
Ambrosius.
Ambrosius d-did this.
Where the fuck is he? He's in the maze.
[groaning.]
- Ambrosius! - What the fuck are you doing to Trevor? I am Iiving! Get off him! [grunts, screams.]
A fresh battery.
You can't take that much power from one person.
You couId do permanent damage, even kiII someone.
Stop! Don't you want me to get Kevin away from your beIoved Toby? What the fuck are you taIking about? Come on, both of you.
There are bigger issues at stake than Kevin and Toby.
- The House of Shadows-- - I see Grace has been spreading her gospeI of destruction.
Nice try, Griff, but I have other pIans.
[moaning.]
Go ahead.
The speII says you have to touch the book.
It's okay, Britt.
Just pIace your right hand on the Moon symboI.
No.
Don't you want to heIp EIena? Don't you Iove her? Then do it! Britt, don't! Don't trust her.
She did this.
MicheIIe is the Shadow Host.
She's the one who attacked EIena.
[gasps.]
No.
Shadow, show yourseIf.
[panting.]
[growIing.]
[screaming.]
Bitch, get off of me! [screaming.]
[grunting.]
Ahh! [grunting.]
[growIing.]
[Britt.]
Grace, the book.
Get it.
[panting.]
[thunder.]
[panting.]
We just kicked her ass.
For now.
Toby.
I couIdn't find the Sun Book.
Shit! MicheIIe? What the fuck was that about? How couId MicheIIe do something Iike this? We aII couId, and we aII wiII if the Shadows have their way.
What's going on? Why did MicheIIe run away? How did she get this? [gasps.]
[screams.]
[screaming.]
I can-- I can feeI them.
They're biting me! It hurts! Oh God, it hurts! Oh! What is it? Did you see something? It was MicheIIe.
It was MicheIIe that the Shadows used to kiII Van.
No, MicheIIe wouId never do that.
That creature is no Ionger MicheIIe.
[Toby.]
Grace, you've been at this aII day.
[Toby.]
Grace, you've been at this aII day.
I can't find the passage about where the House of Shadows was imprisoned.
It's the onIy way we'II be abIe to stop MicheIIe from kiIIing again.
I'd never beIieve Van died naturaIIy.
But how couId MicheIIe be her kiIIer? It's not possibIe.
This is aII my fauIt.
I never shouId've Iet MicheIIe back into my Iife.
No, dear, the bIame goes back much further than that.
Van herseIf bears much more responsibiIity than you.
You were manipuIated, just Iike Van was.
Oh, no.
Look, here it is.
''SeaIed within a prison of wood, ''within the brine'' Okay, so what does that mean? ''with a sign of aged power.
'' Hey, that picture.
That's Horn CoraI.
It's extinct, but you stiII find skeIetaI impressions of it aII aIong the IocaI reefs.
And Iook, Iook.
The inscription says, ''The home of the Horn houses the Shadows.
'' [whispers.]
The box.
I found this oId wooden box awhiIe back, deep under Sodoma Reef ''A prison of wood within the brine'' I have it downstairs in my truck.
I was bringing it to the oceanographic institute for tests.
This is it! The box that imprisoned the House of Shadows.
How can you teII? This symboI.
This symboI-- When I shared Adam's vision, I saw this.
You mean his fIashbacks.
WeII, that's what you caII them, but somehow, Adam's experience with StarfIower opened him up to prophetic sight.
Shit! You drugged him.
[Grace.]
I did what needed to be done.
I shouId've beIieved him.
No matter, what's important now is that we Iearn how to get the Shadows back inside this box.
I can heIp.
When I was back at Britt's Iab, I touched the symboI, and it gIowed.
Watch this.
Fascinating, dear.
Now, why don't you make yourseIf usefuI and heIp Toby carry it to my room.
What's that you got there? This is not a good time, Diana.
I know.
Griffin toId me what happened, the Shadows.
That's why I'm here.
I want to heIp.
Haven't you done enough? Because you decided to fooI with-- with resurrection, we aII may have to suffer for eternity.
Grace, Iet me heIp right this.
It's my onIy chance.
And what exactIy can you contribute, when you don't even have power anymore? I have knowIedge.
I know where to find MicheIIe, and I know how to draw the Shadows out of her.
Come.
She's staying at the GoIden Lantern.
We need to hurry.
Toby.
Leave with me.
Tonight, if we hurry, we can catch the Iast fIight outta here, escape aII this Shadow shit.
PeopIe are dying, Kevin.
We have to stay and heIp.
Adam and Trevor.
Something's wrong.
Adam.
Trevor.
You guys okay? You shouId've seen your man here.
He saved my ass.
Bro's goin' apeshit over at the Lair.
What did Bro do.
Is he--is he okay? I don't know.
He took off.
He's on some power trip, thought it wouId heIp get you back.
He said that? Yeah.
Grace toId me she sIipped you that Saint.
[Toby.]
I'm sorry I doubted you.
[Adam.]
Eh, it's for the best, right? I mean, I guess you're back with Kevin.
It's obviousIy where you want to be.
Don't teII me where I want to be.
Vines, puII my Iove to me.
What the fuck are you doing? Stay the fuck out of this.
You're a fucking drug addict.
Toby's with me now.
No, I'm not.
But I did this aII for you.
I'm the one with the power.
I'm the one who can give you what you want.
What I want is Adam.
He doesn't even know magic.
I'm in controI now.
That's the probIem, Kev.
When we were together, it was aIways a wrestIe for controI.
It's not Iike that with Adam.
I'm a better person when I'm with him.
I take care of him, he takes care of me.
We're equaIs.
I couId force you to be with me, you know.
[Toby.]
You couId.
But you won't.
Possession isn't Iove, Kevin, you know that.
Wait, where you goin'? None of this shit matters right now.
We need your heIp, Kevin.
He's right.
There's more at stake than us.
We've gotta stick together.
We're stronger as a team.
Come on.
Let's just go inside-- No, just screw aII of you! Kevin, you've got nowhere to go.
Toby, don't worry about me.
I'II find a pIace in town.
So now what? I wish I knew.
Diana.
Diana.
Diana, we need your heIp.
Diana! We have no time to waste.
I'II restore your powers.
Grace.
Grace.
Grace, are you here? Hey, hey, caIm down.
She went over to MicheIIe's with, uh, Diana.
Diana? What for? They're gonna try and drive the Shadows out of MicheIIe.
Good gracious, she's worse than my boarders.
MicheIIe.
I don't think she's here.
[both gasping.]
[growIing.]
You have the power, and I have the knowIedge.
Together, we can defeat her.
And she's comin' after youus.
This enemy won't hesitate to sIaughter us on sight.
Adam! [growIing.]
When Adam got infected, in a minute, he was gone.
Find a way to get him back.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Have you seen what's goin' on out there? This whoIe town's gone crazy.
[screaming.]
Get them out of me.
It's trying to take him over.
He needs heIp.
We don't dare risk it.
It's safer just to kiII him.
We know next to nothing about combating the House of Shadows.
I know Tresum.
I can heIp.
This isn't about a show of force, it's about survivaI.
Britt, Iet go.
No, the Shadows are in there.
Like a knife in my heart l'm dying Dying to be with you Burning inside me Dying, dying to be Like a moth to a flame l'm dying Dying to be with you Run but you can't hide Dying Dying to be with you Like a knife through my heart l'm dying Dying to be with you Burning inside me Dying, dying to be Like a moth to a flame l'm dying Dying to be with you Run but you can't hide Dying Dying to be with you When l first saw you A feeling crept over me You'll be my savior with one kiss You'd set me free Your flesh and your blood lt's just a small sacrifice Do not resist me Eternal life has its price Careful what you wish for.
Like a knife in my heart l can't kill this deep desire for you l'm dying Dying to be with you l must have the rush of capturing you Dying Dying to be Like a moth to a flame l'm dying Dying to be with you Run but you can't hide Dying Dying to be with you CIosed-Captioned By J.

You don't understand, it's not supposed to be Iike this.
Diana, it's over.
Quit now, or things wiII onIy get much, much worse.
Trust me.
Which is preciseIy why I shouId be aIIowed to right these wrongs.
I've given my Iife to Tresum.
The answer is no.
You shouIdn't be here.
I had to see you.
Come on, Britt.
You know we're good together.
Things are good with EIena.
I don't want to fuck it up by drudging up oId fIames.
Oh, is that aII I am to you? I'm sorry.
No, no.
I-I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I even came back here.
I don't know what I was thinking.
You know, with my famiIy gone, I thought I'd get a IittIe support.
Support I can give you.
You're my friend, MicheIIe.
Then you'II heIp me.
Of course I wiII.
Listen.
I found this Tresum speII that wiII heIp reveaI the truth about the past, maybe heIp me figure out what happened to my parents.
You're the onIy one I trust to do this with me, Britt.
Whoa, I'm a scientist.
I have no interest in this otherworIdIy buIIshit.
You said you'd heIp.
Tresum is nothing but troubIe.
Yeah, weII, that's what I toId Van, too.
But when you Iose everyone you Iove, aII bets are off.
Just wait, you'II see.
What the heII is that supposed to mean? Nothing.
I-I don't know.
I- It's just There may come a time for you, too, when magic seems Iike the onIy hope.
Not IikeIy.
We just have to find another way, okay? [Griffin.]
KneeIing before you and our ancestors, I pour my Iight into the powers of Tresum.
KneeIing before you and our ancestors, I pour my Iight into the powers of Tresum.
I pIedge to serve the wiII of the CounciI, and the wiII of my Avatar, Griffin.
I pIedge to serve the wiII of the CounciI, and the wiII of my Avatar, Griffin.
WeII done, Grace.
I'm proud of you.
It had to be done.
I'm your servant now.
Grace NeviIIe is no one's servant.
But, I'm your Aspirant.
Yes, and an Aspirant is a partner.
Partner? In what sense? In every sense.
Is this what an Aspirant pIedge means to the Tresum CounciI? I know this has no pIace in a pIedge ceremony.
I shouId have kept my mouth shut.
Ninety-five more miles to go Traveling down that same road We've both been down before, before Light four finger touch on the dashboard Remain as l'm watching you Hop aboard to the backseat arms And as the clock turns neon green And the windshield, it begins to clear Hey, yeah, hey, yeah We'll take a look At our perfect moment spent Sitting here raindrops in our eyes What a big surprise Yeah, oh, what a big surprise Twenty-five more miles to go now And see when all of the bluebird skies Break on through all the clouds l forgot about the direction l was goin' You know, I've never Are you sure you want me to? [breathes heaviIy.]
I've never been so sure of anything in my Iife.
[moaning.]
Take a look at our perfect moment spent Sitting here [moaning.]
Oh, what a big surprise Hey, yeah, oh, what a big surprise Toby.
Toby! I did it.
My pIan is compIete.
You did what? What pIan? I broke free of Bro.
That asshoIe didn't even see it comin'.
You toId me you were happy.
I saw you.
I had to say that because of the braceIet, but it's gone.
I toId you that when I came to see you.
You never came to see me.
Remember? The Iawn chair? Outside? The hot tub, come on, you can't-- you can't forget that.
N-n-no, but those were dreams.
Toby, I was there.
I Iearned the powers of Tresum.
I came to you through astraI projection.
Tresum? Kevin, what the heII are you taIking about? I've been steaIing Bro's power IittIe by IittIe.
Every day, gaining strength.
I did it for us.
I did it for you.
Kevin.
Kevin.
Kevin.
[grunting.]
[breathing heaviIy.]
Power of the Sun, grant me eyes to see Kevin.
Show him to me.
I'm sorry, you Iooked so Iuminous, I had to have my way with you.
[chuckIing.]
First of aII, I had my way with you.
[both chuckIing.]
And you have nothing to be sorry about.
I'd begun to give up hope.
But aII those centuries of waiting were worth it.
I'm honored.
TruIy.
So, now you can interpret my shadow visions? [chuckIing.]
How refreshing.
An Aspirant giving orders to her Avatar.
Mm-hm.
[whirring.]
HeIIo? Britt? Is that you? [R & B.]
[thunder.]
[high-pitched whirring.]
Oh, God! [breathing heaviIy.]
Whoa.
[door opening.]
Who's there? [door creaks.]
Who the fuck is there? [door creaks.]
[breathing heaviIy.]
Motherfucker! Whoa, jeez! Are you-- are you okay? Oh, my God.
Thank God it's you.
Did you see? Something was chasing me.
[thunder.]
There's nobody here but me.
[high-pitched whirring.]
It's you.
[grunting.]
[growIing.]
Ugh! [screaming.]
[moaning.]
[Britt.]
EIena, I'm home.
Hey, Babe, I'm back.
EIena? EIena! Jesus! Um [panting.]
Somebody heIp us! Toby, Adam, Grace, anybody, pIease! Jesus! [Toby.]
What happened? I don't fucking know, just caII 911.
Oh, my God.
Oh, God.
CaII them! What's goin' on? What happened? I don't know.
I just came in and found her Iike this.
AII right, caIm down.
Shit.
It's busy.
What do you mean it's fucking busy? DiaI again.
Okay.
AII right, just caIm down.
It's gonna be okay.
We're gonna get heIp, It's gonna be fine.
It's not going through.
Let's-- Let's take her to the hospitaI ourseIves.
There's not enough time to take her to the hospitaI! She Iost a Iot of bIood and she's gonna die if we don't do something.
AII right, wait, wait, wait.
I can do a heaIing speII, uh, - from Bro's book.
- Are you fucking crazy? I can do it, I know I can.
Britt, it's worked before.
Um, I just--I just gotta get the book, it's, uh it's back at Bro's pIace.
If we're gonna use magic, Grace is here.
We need a reaI doctor, not a fucking witch doctor.
Britt, it's our onIy chance.
Kevin, go get the book.
I'm gonna go get Grace.
Stay with me, baby.
You're gonna be okay.
You're gonna be okay.
God, pIease don't die.
PIease don't die.
You know, it-it's funny, I'm beginning to feeI my-- my power stabiIizing.
[knocking.]
Grace? Grace, are you in there? He can't see you here.
Grace, it's Toby.
Let me in.
[knocking.]
WeII, this had better be a matter of Iife and death.
It is! It is! Grace.
The bitch is back.
Ah, so you come crawIing back.
If you think I'm not gonna punish you-- Where's the Sun Book? I treat you Iike a prince, and this is how you repay me? If you know where that book is, you'd better teII me right now.
Why are you doing this? It's got nothing to do with you.
You are mine.
You aIways wiII be.
Oh, God.
Look at you.
You're pathetic.
But I Iove you.
Possession isn't Iove, Bro.
You can't force someone to Iove you.
[sighing.]
[door sIams.]
[moaning.]
[EIena screaming.]
What is it? EIena's faIIen victim to the House of Shadows.
What are you taIking about? Judging from this wound, the Shadows have found a human host.
Okay, but why EIena? What the fuck did she ever do to theseShadows? I don't know.
What I do know is the Shadow power wiII grow untiI either they kiII us aII, or take us over.
Okay, you know what? Enough of this Armageddon taIk.
We just got to get EIena to the hospitaI.
MortaI doctors can't heIp.
But pIease know, there's more to this wound than meets the eye.
Even magic might not be enough.
[pop.]
Hey.
What can I get you? Vodka.
On the rocks.
Hey, Boss Man.
I have business to attend to in my office, be sure that I am not disturbed.
Okay.
Hmm.
What's up with him? I don't know.
You know, Kevin was here earIier Iookin' for something in Bro's office.
Kevin, you're not as smart as you think.
HeaIing waters, fIow through me.
SeaI this wound with the strength of the sea.
[moaning.]
Is she okay? For now.
My speII stabiIized her, but I must find the Moon Book.
There's a speciaI speII unique to EIena's wound.
Kevin went to get the Sun Book from Bro.
That's aII you need, right? It's not as simpIe as that.
I'm a Moon witch.
I-I can't read the text in the Sun Book.
Kevin can read it for you.
Kevin's a novice.
He's intoxicated by power.
Something this grave requires someone very experienced, and I know just the person.
FIame burn heart bind.
An Aspirant's devotion reborn in fIame.
FIame, fIame, burn, burn as I speak the name Kevin.
[sighing.]
[grunting.]
I'II take another over here.
I'II take another over here.
HoId on.
Have a drink with me.
Look, I can't.
There's no time.
I need more power, Iots more.
I have to get Kevin back.
What happened to ''If you Iove something, set it free?'' He didn't give me a chance to set him free, but he wiII come back to me, even if I have to drag him by his hair.
Here you are.
I may be new to this whoIe bartender thing, but I can teII when a dude's whipped.
You got it bad for someone.
No, not me.
I'm a free agent.
See? What'd I teII you? If you say so.
Take one last look at yourself and tell me Emotionally, that you're not ready for me Because l'm livin', l'm feelin' dangerous The thing is, and l'm feelin' so anxious for you Oh, l'm feelin' anxious for you Come on, and show me what you wanna do 'Cause l'm, l'm feelin' dangerous Dangerous l'm kinda caught up in the craziness The way you're livin' is contagious So can we taIk a IittIe first? [chuckIes.]
I don't taIk.
I fuck.
Sorry.
Maybe next time.
Hop in.
[chuckIes.]
Ahhh.
Yeah.
- [rustIing.]
- [bird screeching.]
Wait, wait.
Did you hear something? Uh-uh.
Don't mind me.
Ugh! [both grunting.]
[both exhaIe deepIy.]
Is Griffin here? I must speak with him at once.
Speak of the deviI.
[sighing.]
Rather pubIic, aren't we? Sorry.
Come with me, pIease? Let's go.
[panting.]
[grunting.]
He Iooks Iike shit.
So do you.
[panting.]
Perhaps I just need a boost from you.
Join, unite, show Join our eyes and ears [screaming.]
[gasping.]
[stabbing.]
[screaming.]
Shadows! The House of Shadows.
No! It's MicheIIe.
MicheIIe is the Shadow Host.
Her resurrection at the SoIstice was the portaI.
[panting.]
Toby? Toby? Oh, shit.
MicheIIe.
Is it true? I heard EIena was kiIIed.
She was attacked, but she's aIive.
Oh, my God.
Is she-- Is she gonna make it? We don't know yet.
Grace went to get somebody to heIp.
God, Britt must be so worried.
Where are they? They're up in the Iiving room, I'm just going to the garage to get a first aid kit.
Okay.
We'II need Ambrosius too.
Maybe now he'II beIieve me.
I think Bro has other things on his mind at the moment.
Right now, there are no other things.
I know where he went.
I'II round him up.
What's the big emergency? A horribIe eviI has come to Dante's Cove.
You've seen it in your visions.
That shit's reaI? OnIy too reaI.
Your friends, EIena and Mark are onIy the first of many victims to come.
[Griffin.]
You come with me.
I may need your heIp with Ambrosius.
I gotta get someone to cover the bar.
And you, stay here, out of harm's way.
Oh, no.
I must get back to EIena.
I can't Iet MicheIIe get anywhere near her.
As your Avatar, I insist that you stay here-- [Iaughs.]
Oh, you don't think I'm actuaIIy bound by that siIIy oath, do you? Of course you are.
You said the pIedge, you accepted my medaIIion.
You switched the medaIIions.
So the words I spoke during the ceremony [sniffing.]
meant nothing.
And the words you spoke after? Those, my dear those meant everything.
[sighing.]
But Grace NeviIIe is no one's Aspirant.
AII right.
It's aII good.
I'm covered.
Let's go.
Let's go! [thunder.]
[thunder.]
Britt.
Is EIena okay? So far.
[sighing.]
I thought you might need some heIp.
[sobbing.]
It's okay.
I'm here now.
[panting.]
[grunting.]
[moaning and grunting.]
Bro? What the fuck? [grunts.]
No, no.
This is gIorious.
[moaning.]
I'm just trying to figure it out.
Why EIena? Maybe EIena was a probIem for the Shadows.
Maybe she had to die.
She's not dead.
Don't say that.
What wouId I do without her? It'II hurt.
But you'II adjust, you'II have to, just Iike I did.
You're supposed to make me feeI better.
I'm sorry.
It's just I know how much it hurts to Iose someone you Iove.
I have an idea.
What is it? The Moon Book of Tresum.
What are you doing with that? It's aII I have Ieft of Van.
Jesus, you're the Iast person I thought wouId get invoIved with this shit.
I think I found a speII that can heIp EIena.
Grace aIready tried some buIIshit speII and it-- How do you know she didn't do this to EIena? Why wouId you say that? Do you know something? If I were you, I'd want EIena's fate in my own hands.
Not Grace's.
[sighing.]
[techno.]
[grunts in pain.]
What the heII happened to you? He's here aII right.
Ambrosius.
Ambrosius d-did this.
Where the fuck is he? He's in the maze.
[groaning.]
- Ambrosius! - What the fuck are you doing to Trevor? I am Iiving! Get off him! [grunts, screams.]
A fresh battery.
You can't take that much power from one person.
You couId do permanent damage, even kiII someone.
Stop! Don't you want me to get Kevin away from your beIoved Toby? What the fuck are you taIking about? Come on, both of you.
There are bigger issues at stake than Kevin and Toby.
- The House of Shadows-- - I see Grace has been spreading her gospeI of destruction.
Nice try, Griff, but I have other pIans.
[moaning.]
Go ahead.
The speII says you have to touch the book.
It's okay, Britt.
Just pIace your right hand on the Moon symboI.
No.
Don't you want to heIp EIena? Don't you Iove her? Then do it! Britt, don't! Don't trust her.
She did this.
MicheIIe is the Shadow Host.
She's the one who attacked EIena.
[gasps.]
No.
Shadow, show yourseIf.
[panting.]
[growIing.]
[screaming.]
Bitch, get off of me! [screaming.]
[grunting.]
Ahh! [grunting.]
[growIing.]
[Britt.]
Grace, the book.
Get it.
[panting.]
[thunder.]
[panting.]
We just kicked her ass.
For now.
Toby.
I couIdn't find the Sun Book.
Shit! MicheIIe? What the fuck was that about? How couId MicheIIe do something Iike this? We aII couId, and we aII wiII if the Shadows have their way.
What's going on? Why did MicheIIe run away? How did she get this? [gasps.]
[screams.]
[screaming.]
I can-- I can feeI them.
They're biting me! It hurts! Oh God, it hurts! Oh! What is it? Did you see something? It was MicheIIe.
It was MicheIIe that the Shadows used to kiII Van.
No, MicheIIe wouId never do that.
That creature is no Ionger MicheIIe.
[Toby.]
Grace, you've been at this aII day.
[Toby.]
Grace, you've been at this aII day.
I can't find the passage about where the House of Shadows was imprisoned.
It's the onIy way we'II be abIe to stop MicheIIe from kiIIing again.
I'd never beIieve Van died naturaIIy.
But how couId MicheIIe be her kiIIer? It's not possibIe.
This is aII my fauIt.
I never shouId've Iet MicheIIe back into my Iife.
No, dear, the bIame goes back much further than that.
Van herseIf bears much more responsibiIity than you.
You were manipuIated, just Iike Van was.
Oh, no.
Look, here it is.
''SeaIed within a prison of wood, ''within the brine'' Okay, so what does that mean? ''with a sign of aged power.
'' Hey, that picture.
That's Horn CoraI.
It's extinct, but you stiII find skeIetaI impressions of it aII aIong the IocaI reefs.
And Iook, Iook.
The inscription says, ''The home of the Horn houses the Shadows.
'' [whispers.]
The box.
I found this oId wooden box awhiIe back, deep under Sodoma Reef ''A prison of wood within the brine'' I have it downstairs in my truck.
I was bringing it to the oceanographic institute for tests.
This is it! The box that imprisoned the House of Shadows.
How can you teII? This symboI.
This symboI-- When I shared Adam's vision, I saw this.
You mean his fIashbacks.
WeII, that's what you caII them, but somehow, Adam's experience with StarfIower opened him up to prophetic sight.
Shit! You drugged him.
[Grace.]
I did what needed to be done.
I shouId've beIieved him.
No matter, what's important now is that we Iearn how to get the Shadows back inside this box.
I can heIp.
When I was back at Britt's Iab, I touched the symboI, and it gIowed.
Watch this.
Fascinating, dear.
Now, why don't you make yourseIf usefuI and heIp Toby carry it to my room.
What's that you got there? This is not a good time, Diana.
I know.
Griffin toId me what happened, the Shadows.
That's why I'm here.
I want to heIp.
Haven't you done enough? Because you decided to fooI with-- with resurrection, we aII may have to suffer for eternity.
Grace, Iet me heIp right this.
It's my onIy chance.
And what exactIy can you contribute, when you don't even have power anymore? I have knowIedge.
I know where to find MicheIIe, and I know how to draw the Shadows out of her.
Come.
She's staying at the GoIden Lantern.
We need to hurry.
Toby.
Leave with me.
Tonight, if we hurry, we can catch the Iast fIight outta here, escape aII this Shadow shit.
PeopIe are dying, Kevin.
We have to stay and heIp.
Adam and Trevor.
Something's wrong.
Adam.
Trevor.
You guys okay? You shouId've seen your man here.
He saved my ass.
Bro's goin' apeshit over at the Lair.
What did Bro do.
Is he--is he okay? I don't know.
He took off.
He's on some power trip, thought it wouId heIp get you back.
He said that? Yeah.
Grace toId me she sIipped you that Saint.
[Toby.]
I'm sorry I doubted you.
[Adam.]
Eh, it's for the best, right? I mean, I guess you're back with Kevin.
It's obviousIy where you want to be.
Don't teII me where I want to be.
Vines, puII my Iove to me.
What the fuck are you doing? Stay the fuck out of this.
You're a fucking drug addict.
Toby's with me now.
No, I'm not.
But I did this aII for you.
I'm the one with the power.
I'm the one who can give you what you want.
What I want is Adam.
He doesn't even know magic.
I'm in controI now.
That's the probIem, Kev.
When we were together, it was aIways a wrestIe for controI.
It's not Iike that with Adam.
I'm a better person when I'm with him.
I take care of him, he takes care of me.
We're equaIs.
I couId force you to be with me, you know.
[Toby.]
You couId.
But you won't.
Possession isn't Iove, Kevin, you know that.
Wait, where you goin'? None of this shit matters right now.
We need your heIp, Kevin.
He's right.
There's more at stake than us.
We've gotta stick together.
We're stronger as a team.
Come on.
Let's just go inside-- No, just screw aII of you! Kevin, you've got nowhere to go.
Toby, don't worry about me.
I'II find a pIace in town.
So now what? I wish I knew.
Diana.
Diana.
Diana, we need your heIp.
Diana! We have no time to waste.
I'II restore your powers.
Grace.
Grace.
Grace, are you here? Hey, hey, caIm down.
She went over to MicheIIe's with, uh, Diana.
Diana? What for? They're gonna try and drive the Shadows out of MicheIIe.
Good gracious, she's worse than my boarders.
MicheIIe.
I don't think she's here.
[both gasping.]
[growIing.]
You have the power, and I have the knowIedge.
Together, we can defeat her.
And she's comin' after youus.
This enemy won't hesitate to sIaughter us on sight.
Adam! [growIing.]
When Adam got infected, in a minute, he was gone.
Find a way to get him back.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Have you seen what's goin' on out there? This whoIe town's gone crazy.
[screaming.]
Get them out of me.
It's trying to take him over.
He needs heIp.
We don't dare risk it.
It's safer just to kiII him.
We know next to nothing about combating the House of Shadows.
I know Tresum.
I can heIp.
This isn't about a show of force, it's about survivaI.
Britt, Iet go.
No, the Shadows are in there.
