Season 3 - Episode 11: Heart of the Matter

== Synopsis ==
The case gets more confusing as they investigate the body of Jeffreys. Sammie discovers that whoever killed Jeffreys is most likely the woman they saw breaking into the morgue and the creature that exsanguinated the bodies is completely different. Sammie attempts to track the woman using her hoodie but is once again forcibly kicked out of the vision. When she explains what she saw to Bjorn, Bjorn realizes this could be a future or alternate version of Sammie. 
==Episode Description==
The heroes investigate the deceased cop and somehow find more questions. 
== Key Events ==
* Sammie discovers that there are two creatures at work here — one that exsanguinated the bodies at the morgue and one belonging to whoever murdered Jeffreys. 
* Sammie tries to track the hoodie she saw the figure wearing but is unable to sense its location. Instead, she sees it sitting on a couch. A hand that looks much like her own reaches for it before forcing her out of the vision. 
* Bjorn reasons that this person may be a future version of Sammie. They go to a tattoo shop to see if anyone else has the same tattoo as Sammie to rule out other options, but the owner confirms Sammie is the only person with that tattoo. 
== Summary ==
The crew assesses the body of Jeffreys to see if there's any chance of him being alive, but don't find anything. Bjorn asks Jeffreys' mother if she saw anything and she's unable to respond. Oliver then takes over talking to the mother and sits with her on the couch. 
Bjorn, Sammie, and Henry investigate the body and try to figure out what did this. Henry notices that the hole in the man's chest seems to have a handprint burned around it, like someone reached into the man's chest and burned his heart out. Henry takes a photo and sends it to Stanley, asking if he's ever seen anything like it. Sammie can sense a distinct aura of Rift magic. She can tell that this is the same magic as whoever broke into the morgue, but not the same as the creature that exsanguinated the bodies inside the morgue. 
They try to reason out why the person who broke into the morgue would come after Jeffreys specifically. They wonder if it's just because the officer saw them in the station. Bjorn examines the body again and reasons that the thing that did this must be a humanoid female - the same woman he saw breaking into the morgue. 
Sammie attempts to track the hooded figure by locating the hoodie she saw the woman wearing. She focuses on the hoodie and suddenly finds it draped over a couch. She's unable to tell exactly where it is. Suddenly, a hand reaches for the hoodie but quickly recoils back. The hand is feminine, covered in tattoos, with painted black nails. Sammie's vision of the hoodie goes blurry and she hears a distorted voice warn her to leave her alone or else she'll hurt Sammie or someone she loves. She is then forced out of the vision and thrown across the room. Sammie explains to the others what she saw. She suddenly realizes one of the tattoos on the woman's arm is exactly the same as one on her own arm. 
Bjorn theorizes that this person is a future version of Sammie, considering they have time-traveled in the past, or perhaps a version of Sammie from an alternate universe. Sammie also points out that Jeffreys' heart was burned out and she's just tattooed runes on her hand to help her use fire as a weapon. Sammie thinks about it some more and realizes that she felt both golden magical energy from Dragon Knights or witch children and green magical energy of the Rifts at the police station, meaning they both could have been left behind by whoever broke into the morgue. Bjorn calls Holland to tell her about Jeffreys and send over some reinforcements. 
The crew stops by the tattoo shop Sammie used to work at to eliminate the possibility that this could be someone other than Sammie by checking if anyone else got the same tattoo as her. They head over to the Ruby Tattoo Shop, owned by Tommy King - a man with hair dyed fire engine red. Sammie talks to Tommy and asks if he's done the tattoo on anyone else. Tommy confirms that she's the only person with that exact tattoo. 
They leave the shop and discuss the clues they have so far. Bjorn points out that Sammie usually is able to lock on to an exact location of an object and she wasn't able to this time. He reasons that the only person that would know the finding spell well enough to know to protect against it would be Sammie. They discuss how the only people who would know the spell would be Jadis or a witch that could have read her book, but they seem to be imitating Sammie somehow and for some unknown reason. They decide to go back to the Fort to discuss their findings with Stanley and Miguel.
