Synopsis
- Dean: Comes a time in every hunt when the fightin' starts. And the difference between winning and losing isn't whether you have the holy water, the wooden stake, or the silver bullet. It's whether you've got the grit to get the job done.
John and Mary have located the radio tower which Rockin' Roxy is using to draw in monsters so that the Akrida can harvest their essence. In a building next to the tower, Mary finds a satchel belonging to her father covered in blood. Outside they find an Akrida possessed man locked on the trunk of a car. He tells them that the Akrida have finished using the tower and that they have all the essence they need for their queen.
At the Men of Letters Clubhouse, Carlos and Lata are still trying to get the ostium to work, when Ada returns with files she found at another Men of Letters office in Ann Arbor, hoping they may help. They find some notes that John identifies as having been written by his father. Unable to decipher it, they call on Millie to help, only to find that the notes are written in code.
Carlos and Mary go off to examine the motel where Samuel had been staying. Mary expresses how guilty she feels about her father being captured, and Carlos shares the story about his own parents' murders at the hands of ghouls, and the guilt he felt for that. The motel yields no clues, but on the way home, they are pulled over by the Akrida-possessed Roxy disguised as a police officer. She says she wants the Ostium in exchange for Samuel and arranges a place for them to meet. Unbeknownst to Roxy, Carlos managed to slip a hex bag in the squad car that allows them to track it.
As Ada works on preparing a tracking spell, she shares with Millie how much Henry worried about the impact being a Men of Letters initiate was having on their relationship, which was the reason he had wanted to separate. Millie confides that she is worried about losing John the same way she lost Henry.
Millie manages to decipher some of Henry's notes, finding that the Akrida act as one, and are linked through their queen, so if she is killed they should all die. The notes also reveal that the Ostium doesn't kill monsters, but transports them somewhere else. Ada's spell locates where Roxy has gone -- the same factory where Mary was stung by the Akrida. However, they still can't decipher how to get the Ostium working again. Millie finds some notes about how to hold a séance to speak to the dead, and suggests they summon Henry to give him the instructions himself.
Needing an object connected to Henry, John retrieves a broken music box Henry gave John as a child. The séance at first doesn't seem to work, and John storms from the room frustrated, with Mary following after him. As John talks about how angry with himself he is, feeling it was his fault Henry left, his father appears. Henry tells them that the Ostium needs to be recharged, and that they will find the power source buried under the jasmine at Mary's garage, also revealing that the Ostium's power source will also direct whatever is trapped in the box to where it will be transported. Before disappearing, Henry gets a brief moment to tell John how proud of him he is, and Millie that he loves her. After finding the rock that acts as the power source, Lata speculates whether it's from another planet or another universe. When placed on top of the Ostium it repowers the box's magical energy.
At the factory, Carlos and Lata find a lab and spot all the monster essence in vials, but before they can get it, an Akrida-possessed human arrives and takes it. Mary and John fight their way through Akrida until they confront Roxy and use the Ostium to transport her away, however the box doesn't absorb all the Akirda, who proceed to attack, revealing that Roxy was not their queen. Trapped in a room and surrounded by hordes of Arkida as the door breaks down, and Akrida begin to swarm in, they are suddenly sucked into a blinding light. Once the coast is clear, Samuel reveals himself holding the Ostium and reunites with his daughter.
At another location, an Akrida delivers the essence to its queen.
