WARNING: If you don't want to know what happened in this episode, don't read this photo recap!
Ding, dong, the Dredge is dead! And the Hastings are celebrating his demise with a much-deserved BBQ. It's a rolicking good time…until a bad omen in the form of a dead raven graces their party.

Someone's just died.
361527
Also, Mayor Bickley is totally an infernal. Here he is conspiring with one of the Dredge's disciples over how to eliminate the Hastings.
361528
And the person who died? Mr. Lin's wife, Lisa. The Hastings are intaking their latest customer, Mr. Lin's wife.
361529
He requests that she be buried with her favorite doll, the Lucy Doll — a surrogate for the child they could never have. Cute. Creepy and cute.
361530
Turns out Tilly has an irrational fear of dolls, which makes this immediate case hard for her. Especially when that irrational fear isn't so irrational after all: Lucy Doll is possessed. Those eyes…
361531
Mayor Bickley summons Isaac to his offices to threaten him. Bickley wants Isaac and his family to leave La Rochelle forever, or else he'll circulate photos that prove Isaac's immortality. Wuh-oh.
361532
One of the bereaved, Tina, a friend of Lisa's, is packing up all the dolls from the funeral when she comes across Lucy Doll. Lucy Doll starts yammering on about how Tina is "Not my momma." Real grade-A creepo stuff. Anyway, Lucy Doll seduces Tina, and uses her as her transporter.
361533
It's a short partnership. Lucy Doll kills Tina after she brings her home to her apartment.
361534
Mr. Lin comes clean about the doll. He and Lisa did conceive a child, but it was a stillborn. So on a trip to Thailand he got her a luk thep, which is a Thai good luck charm. Now it's worthless and scary: so he allows Bea and Calvin to get rid of it.
361535
But they don't. They give it to Tilly who, reluctantly, subjects it to some tests. She finds that the doll is really the remains of a mummified baby that have been encased in that miniature body! Oh, heavens to Lucy!
361536
May has done some digging on Eric and Tina's background, and informs Calvin: turns out, they were hitting it together. That doll might contain the remains of Eric and Lisa's stillborn child. And now it's trying to wreak vengeance on Eric on behalf of its mother. It already took down Tina.
361537
Lucy Doll cuts Eric's tendon, as Calvin and he try to escape. Lucy continues to press Eric, demanding he tell Calvin what he did to "my momma."
361538
Isaac returns to the Mayor's office, unwilling to settle. He wants to kill this infernal. But maybe they make a deal instead? See, Bickley wasn't so hot on being the Dredge's errand boy — and now he's flaunting his freedom. They come to an agreement: they'll stay out of each other's ways, unless working together proves mutually beneficial. Very adult.
361539
Eric confesses to killing his wife, and to shoving his dead daughter into the Lucy Doll. That's the admission of guilt Calvin needs. He then goes to town on Lucy, and aims to give her a few more air holes to breathe through.
361540
But he can't get there just yet, as Eric has plans to do away with Calvin before he can send him to jail. But Calvin prevails as the superior fighter, and drives Eric's knife into his own back. Calvin thinks twice about blowing the doll to porcelain pieces.
361541
Calvin puts Lucy to rest next to Lisa's and Eric's graves — where she'll hopefully stay put for ever and ever.
