Synopsis
- Dean: Spending a lifetime of hunting monsters takes its toll. There comes the time when you gotta let out that pain inside you. If you don't, it'll eat you alive.
Mary and John are working on an old motorbike, which Millie had given John's dad Henry just before he disappeared. Mary knows a bit about mechanics, and John suggests that when she leaves hunting she could work in Millie's garage. Mary says thought that there's too much history for her in Lawrence, and she thinks she will leave town. Millie asks John how he is, concerned after his breakdown following th ecase at the VA Hospital. He reassures her he's fine. She notes the chemistry he has with Mary, but John admits he doesn't know how Mary feels about him.
At the clubhouse, Latika has found a potential case - a Congressman whose brain was turned to mush inside his skull. The gang turn up at his office, and find out from his assistant that his behavior had become odd and he'd been having nightmares in the weeks before he died. Mary and Lata decide the death was probably caused by a djinn, so they decide to search empty warehouses for its lair. Finally at one warehouse, they disturb someone who flees from them, but not before a flash of recognition pass between him and Ada.
Ada reveals to her friends that the djinn is her son Tony. When she was young she had a relationship with a Djinn, who was not harming people when they met and fell in love. However when he started to kill, Ada left him. She later gave birth to Tony, but kept his heritage from him until his Djinn powers started to manifest.
Carlos and Ada return to the warehouse where Tony had been living, and while on the stakeout, Ada falls asleep and Tony appears to her. He says he's been using his Djinn powers to help people. A strange sound had drawn him to Lawrence. He had tried to help Congressman with his nightmares, but while in his dreams he saw an Akrida was also in his mind. Tony also heard the name of the next victim - Eric Fisher.
Lata has obtained x-rays from the Congressman's autopsy that reveal three stingers in the victim's brain from the Akrida. They need to be removed psycically as well as physically .

Quotes
Carlos: They attack a person in their subconscious and feed off their mental energy, usually till the person slips into a coma and dies. It's sort of like a brain vampire.
Mary: Even if you're scared?
