WARNING: If you don't want to know what happened in this episode, don't read this photo recap!
The Mayor and her wife have gone out for the evening, putting Sid, the babysitter, in charge of their creepy, creative kids. One of them has been drawing pictures of dead people, and includes in her ouvre a sketch of Sid with a knife skewering her skull. Fridge-worthy!

Billy's hopelessly stuck in Port Moore, which is terrible news for Val who wants to see her brother a total of zero more times. And speaking of siblings, dead Rodney's living sister wants some explanations as to why her dead brother is dead. She wants justice.

As far as justice is concerned, Port Moore is fresh out of it and they won't be getting another supply until God knows when. In the meantime, though, Billy makes no bones about dishing out his own brand of vigilante justice, protecting his sister from anyone he looks at her askance. Like this guy: Rodney's step nephew...in law. After that show of heroism (or flagrant disregard for civility), Val promotes her brother to sheriff.

And that picture from before? Turns out, it was prophetic. Sid the babysitter took a tumble while the dishwasher was open, and had an unfortunate encounter with a long knife. Who could be behind such cruelty?

Well, one monster specifically: Marcus. He's dead, he's dreaded, and he's ready for action. And looks like he's picked up some style in the supernal realm, too.

Marcus runs into the woods, and Abigail, one of the Mayor’s kids, runs off to find him. A manhunt ensues to find Abigail before something terrible happens to her.
354434
It seems the search party has been ambushed by a small battalion of fleet-footed ghosts.
354435
Meanwhile, Abigail's sister Isabelle has opted for a little creativity in divining Abigail's location in the woods. She bit her finger and used the blood to finger-paint her sister's whereabouts. How. Freaking. Cute.
354436
Isabelle leads the search party straight into a graveyard of dead animals. She says Abigail is somewhere here. Next to Bambi's mother. And your dog Skip.
354437
Isabelle says that Abigail is in that tree. The one Billy is jamming his knife into. The one that's grown some kind of strange bubbly growth. That one.
354438
Well, Isabelle tells no lies, and Abigail truly was inside that weird cocoon. There she is, covered in sap and pus and…let's just leave it at sap and pus for now.
354439
Billy and Roman bring back a hunk of that strange tree to the Lambda lab to get it tested. When Billy touched it with his bare hands, he started feeling woozy — like he just got lucky with lichen. The test results come in, and the plant is in fact quite extraordinary. It was actually gestating Abigail...like a fetus.

And as far as the kids are concerned, they are definitely not all right. Abigail and Isabelle have switched bodies, and one of them (it's unclear who?) is speaking telepathically to their mom, Mayor Val.
354441
And Marilyn, Valerie's wife, a died-in-the-wool skeptic, is visiting one of her patients at home when that wool is lifted from her eyes. Dotty, her geriatric patient, is nothing more than a corpse with some pastels on it. She's been performing medicine on a ghost! Insurance fraud!
354442
Abigail and Isabelle — or is it Isabelle and Abigail — are fighting, this time over who gets and doesn't get to pet Mr. Bojangles. The ferret.
354443
Something is inside Abigail. Or is it Isabelle? Or is Isabelle inside Abigail? Or Abigail inside Isabelle? Or…where's Marcus? Is it Mr. Bojangles? Why isn't anyone homeschooling these kids? Regardless, to Roman this spells trouble.
354447
And, as her coup de grace, Abigail sneaks out of her bedroom, walks down to Father Dan's church, and starts to remodel it. She starts with the windows. Hammer and nails? Overrated.
