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. I 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. Ada returns with files she found at another Men of Letters office in Ann Arbor, hoping they may help. They find some notes that may help, that John identifies as having been written by his father. Unable to decipher it, they call on Millie to help, although the notes are written in code.
Carlos and Mary travel to examine the motel where Samuel had been staying. Mary expresses how guilty she feels about her dad being captured, and Carlos shares the story about his own parents' murders, 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 and arranges a place for them to meet and exchange Samurl for the box. Unbeknownst to ROxy, Carlos manages to slip a hex bag in the squad car that will allow them to track it.
As Ada gets to work 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 is the reason he had wanted to separate. Millie confides that she is worried about losing John, the way she lost Henry.
What Millie has managed to decipher from Henry's notes is that the Akrida act as one, nad are linked through their queen, so if she is killed they should all die. It also reveals that the Ostium doesn't kill demons, but transports them somewhere else. Ada's spell works to locate where Roxy has gone - it is the 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 seance 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 seance at first doesn't seem to work, and John storms from the room frustrated, and Mary follows him. As John talks about how he was angry with himself, feeling it was his fault Henry left, his father appears. He 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. It will also direct whatever is trapped in the box to where it will be transported. Henry gets a brief moment to tell John he is proud of him, and Millie that he loves her, before he is gone. They find the rock where henry said, and Lata speculates its 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, but the rest of the Akrida keep attacking, revealing that Roxy was not their queen. Trapped in a room, surrounded by hordes of Arkidam things look dire for John and Mary, and they embrace and kiss. Just then someone uses the Ostium to dispossess of the Akrida. The door opens to reveal - Samuel Campbell!
At another location, the Akrida delivers the essence to its queen.
