Season 2 - Episode 63: Under Your Skin

== Synopsis ==
Bjorn, Henry, and Sammie struggle to kill the skinwalkers. Bjorn and Henry tag team the one from the forest that has burst through the door while Sammie just tries to not get killed by the one disguising itself as the innkeeper. She manages to kill it but is in rough shape after. After ensuring there are no more skinwalkers, Sammie sees ghosts start to swirl through the room. The house begins to shake and the ceiling collapses in as the ghosts begin to destroy the house as they escape. Bjorn, Henry, Sammie, Oliver, Helena, and Anthony all manage to escape before the house completely collapses. Sammie attempts to heal herself with magic, and does so, but also knocks herself out cold. Trapped in her mind, Jadis offers her a deal - she'll leave Sammie and everyone else she cares about alone if Sammie will find her a new host.

==Summary==
Bjorn, with a claw still in his stomach, pulls his shotgun up and levels it at the skinwalker's face and pulls the trigger. His ash-covered shotgun round blows a hole through its head, but it's still alive. The skinwalker rips its claw out of Bjorn's stomach and pulls his insides out with it. The creature dives behind the counter. Sammie tries to slide across the counter after it, but the creature grabs her and slams her to the ground. The skinwalker has a tight grip on Sammie's ankle. She hits it with a burst of magic but it doesn't seem to do much - the creature pulls hard on Sammie's leg and her knee pops out of place. 
The front door to the inn bursts open. The long, gangly creature that Bjorn and Henry had seen before has joined the brawl. Henry quicky turns and fires at it, aiming for center mass. He hits it in the chest and the creature advances toward him, smacking him to the side and into the wall. Bjorn shoots it with his shotgun before being being thrown by the creature and smashing his head against the front desk counter. Sammie and the skinwalker that was guised as the innkeeper are still behind the counter. Sammie struggles to pull her 9mm out of its holster. She looks up at the now-faceless creature just in time to see it pin her arm to the ground with one hand and grab her throat with the other. 
Henry rushes up to try and hamstring the skinwalker that is crouched over Bjorn. Just before he's able to, the creature snaps around with lightning speed and slashes its claws across Henry's torso. Bjorn, still pinned by the skinwalker, manages to pull his gun up and jam it into the creature's torso before pulling the trigger. The creature seems to shriek from the hole made by the blast and stumbles backward. Bjorn sees and hears the sound of another gunshot as Oliver puts a round into the skinwalker's head. 
Sammie tries to shoot at the skinwalker that's strangling her but misses, however the ash fills the air and the creature splutters and chokes on it. It takes the gory claw that ripped open Bjorn's stomach earlier and slashes Sammie's abdomen completely open. The skinwalker attacking Bjorn changes targets and goes after Henry. Bjorn takes a shot at it while its back is turned and blows off its arm. The creature turns and grabs a table, throwing it at Bjorn. Sammie finally manages to hit the skinwalker pinning her down with a blast of magic. The creature splits in half, falling apart in front of her. Henry swipes his claws at the creature's throat to try and get it away from him but Bjorn can tell he's not going to be fast enough. Bjorn throws himself at the skinwalker, knocking it to the ground. He takes one last shot and the skinwalker finally goes down. 
Bjorn calls over to Sammie to ask her if she can check if there's anymore skinwalkers nearby. Sammie pulls herself up using the counter and coughs up blood in response. She closes her eyes and tries to focus on the creatures. Her consciousness floats above the forest, however she doesn't find any other skinwalkers nearby. What she does sense, however, is a swelling of spiritual energy around them. Sammie pulls back to herself and Bjorn asks if she spotted any other creatures. Sammie shakes her head no and Bjorn rushes over to try and stabilize her. Before he can, Sammie sees the ghosts around them - thirty to forty swirl around the room, finally released from whatever was holding them - the house begins to shake, a table splits in half. Sammie chokes out that they need to get out of there just as the ceiling above them collapses on top of her. 
Oliver runs over and begins to pull debris off Sammie to get her out as Bjorn shouts at everyone to leave. Bjorn pulls Sammie out of the collapsed ceiling and runs her outside, putting her down on the ground. Oliver follows him out and stays with Sammie. Henry grabs Helena and Anthony and tries to pull them out with him. Anthony makes it through the door but Henry looks over his shoulder just as Helena falls through the floor into the basement. Henry jumps into the hole after Helena. Bjorn runs back through the doorway and jumps into the hole as well. Together, Bjorn and Henry push Helena up and out of the hole in the floor. Bjorn boosts Henry up next. Once on the ground, Henry turns to put an arm down and helps Bjorn up. 
Bjorn and Henry make it out of the building just before the entire structure collapses. A cloud of dust fills the air around them all. As it clears, they see a concentration of energy, small pips of light, swirl around the building like a tornado and then all poof out of existence at once. 
Sammie is out cold. While the others were escaping the house, she attempted to heal herself. After doing so, her head fills with pain and the lights go out. Suddenly, she finds herself in a dark room filled only by a single spotlight. The spotlight is shining down on a chair where Jadis is sitting, smiling. 
Bjorn calls over to Oliver to ask if Sammie is okay. He's sitting beside her, holding her limp hand, unable to speak through the emotion in his throat. Anthony says that he thinks Sammie was trying to heal herself but he's not sure. Bjorn rushes over to check for a pulse and finds a weak one before he begins to tend to Sammie's wounds. Henry cautions Bjorn, saying that when she wakes up she might not be herself - remembering back to the last time Sammie went unconscious. Despite Bjorn stabilizing her wounds, she remains unconscious. 
Sammie, in her mind, can see Jadis sitting in front of her on a chair. She seems to be reading a book. She lowers it and motions for Sammie to come closer. Sammie is disoriented and checks herself for weapons before approaching. Jadis tells Sammie that she could take her body over right now if she wanted to but she has a better idea. Jadis says she's getting tired of the struggle between them. Jadis makes Sammie an offer - if she finds Sammie a new host, a new body she will never bother her or her friends ever again, however she won't be allowed to talk about what happened with anyone. Jadis stands from her chair and her eyes glow green, her whole body begins to glow, the energy traveling through her and then down her arm and into her hand. A shimmering green energy coalesces in her hand as she reaches out toward Sammie for her to shake.

*In episode it's said that Henry is at 4 harm since he had an existing 1 harm already, however Henry has not taken any harm at all in this arc until this fight. Guessing Wesley must have forgot to clear his harm track from the previous arc or accidentally marked an experience in his harm track.
