Brutally, Bishop kills Sheperd Remmington and from his spirit, urges out a shadow of Remmington's dark side. After annoying Bishop enough to make him leave, Shep struggles against the shadow's tactic of stealing his vitality. The thing stays beyond his sight enough to strike him repeatedly and steal his lifeforce. The timely arrival of an Asian woman in a black vinyl trenchcoat and a black man save him and help him escape the Mayfair Greens. But when the woman, Grace Ishida, leads him out of the place and into a familiar mansion, Shep realises he's in for a rude reunion with Michelle Quietly and Kelly Michaels.

Andrew Everard himself meets Grace Ishida, who as it turns out, was possessing Sandra Chu to get in touch with her. Informing him to turn the television on at midnight to a static channel, Andrew realises she might know more about that voice on the white noise. But when a new news report regarding Clara Zuckerman being assassinated in the hospital hits the screens, with Andrew Everard and Sheperd Remmington as the suspects, the FBI suddenly withdraws its support of the Crucible. Osorio claims to still trust the Crucible though, and offers Andrew some money and a promise "to delay them in finding you as much as I can." Andrew leaves and bumps into a very feral Annie Harper who explains to him the presence of a shadow double that has been messing up her life and has been showing some hints of having more malleable gauze than any spook they have ever met.

Bobby defeats the other Fetches that come to take the other druggies down, but fails to convince Tom Hayes to return to the Haunt with him. As if consumed with an obssession, the Poltergeist fights against Bobby's stormwending and breaks free. Bobby returns to the Haunt to see Kate arriving with John. Horror crosses their hearts when they discover the inner room door knob to be smeared with blood. Chantal has been attacked, bleeding from numerous slices all over her face and against better judgment, Kate contacts 911 for help. Bobby rushes her to the street, joins her in the ambulance and sees her project before him as the paramedics frantically try to revive her body. For a moment, Chantal considers never returning, but a strange link forms between them as they seem to communicate mentally. Promising not to give up, Chantal returns to her body and accepts her state (of being unable to project normally, having been a Skimmer in the past) as something she has to overcome.
