WARNING: If you don't want to know what happened in this episode, don't read this photo recap!
The family is back together at the funeral home — and Russ is there too. He wants to continu his journey into the magical realm. First thing he's got to do is select his significator — a card that marks his level of magical maturity. But whenever Bea lays out cards for him, it's the same sequence: Empress, the Hermit, the Fool, Justice, the Emperor, the Star. Interesting.

Calvin and Tilly hear about Russ's cards, and they rush over to Aunt Nancy. She's in the middle of a trance when they find her.
364270
Mayor Bickley is there and snatches up Aunt Nancy's special amulet, called a vajra. It's supposed to be able to harness the power of lightning. Bickley uses it to shoot Calvin full of voltage. And kill him.
364271
After the Mayor has killed May and Calvin, he goes to wake Aunt Nancy from her slumber. But just then… the floor starts shaking. And then…
364272
Things go back to normal? Isaac gets a call from the Mayor to meet up. This is no surprise to Isaac, who seems to have predicted a call from Bickley.
364273
And Russ seems to know what cards Bea is going to turn over before she does. Looks like we're in a time loop.
364274
Meanwhile in the chiller, Tilly is examining a corpse with cobwebs on it. Looks like Aunt Nancy's spiders have been spinning up something.
364275
Isaac meets with Bickley, and Bickley tells him he thinks they're all trapped in something called a Zurvanian Loop — a time sand trap. Isaac is apt to believe him: he's been feeling strange lately, a possible symptom a time loop.
364276
Bickley returns to Aunt Nancy's, and proceeds with the preordained course of events: to kill Calvin, Tilly, and May, and attempt to offset the loop. Doesn't work, and the same shaking overtakes them, and sends them back to…
364277
The same moment in time.
364278
Bea and Tilly come to the conclusion that they're in a time loop. Bea thinks that the only person who could have caused such a thing would be Chronos, the governor of time. But they don't know why he would do such a thing.
364279
At Aunt Nancy, Mayor Bickley is about to follow through with the murder of the Hastings, but May intervenes, and instead shoots him with Calvin's gun.
364280
Of course, it doesn't seem to do any good, and the shaking happens again, and everyone is sent back to the beginning.
364281
Isaac interrogates Aunt Nancy, who's now out of her trance. Looks like she's been causing the time loop as a revenge for the Civil War, and all the evil that followed. Isaac is furious.
364282
Things start over again. The family all seem to have the same memory: either of killing Aunt Nancy… or not. But either way, they decide to go to her together. Maybe there's power in numbers.
364283
Once at Aunt Nancy's, everyone debates whether or not to kill her and end the madness, or do something else. It's very confusing. Then…
364284
The Dredge speaks to Calvin from the ring. He wants to make a deal with Calvin — his help for freedom. Calvin doesn't bite, and the day starts over again.
364285
The next day, at Aunt Nancy's, Calvin makes a deal with The Dredge. The Dredge advises him to smash the rock in Nancy's jar. And it works! No more time loop!
364286
Aunt Nancy bought the rock from Chronos because she thought she was getting a good deal on it. But it wasn't, and the time loop started to spread to all of La Rochelle. Freedom from it was dearly bought, and now Calvin is in the Dredge's debt.
