== Summary ==
At school, River has been ignoring Henry. After class, Henry approaches her and tries to apologize, saying he's sorry he hurt her by turning down her offer to hang out. He admits he's not good with people and River laughs. Henry asks if they can do this over again and River asks him again if he wants to watch her favorite anime with her. Henry agrees. She asks him to meet Saturday and he tells her he'll get back to her once he knows his schedule. 
Back at the hotel, Henry tells Stanley and Miguel that he's going to meet a friend tomorrow. They ask who he's meeting and Henry tells them it's River Hanson. Stanley asks if she is Chief Hanson's daughter, but Henry says he doesn't know. Henry and River meet in a random park to watch the anime together, away from both of their homes. 
The next day, Bjorn comes over to the hotel to ask Miguel a favor. He pulls out his broken assault rifle and asks Miguel if he can do something with or make something out of it as it had gotten him through some really tough times. Bjorn doesn't want to talk about it too long. Miguel says he can figure out something to do with it. Bjorn thanks Miguel and then leaves. 
Sammie and Oliver are on the mainland shopping for a new Jeep. Sammie settles on a new, red model. On their way back to Thornvale on the ferry, Oliver starts to look uncomfortable. Sammie asks what's wrong and Oliver admits he's concerned about what's going on with her and her nose bleeds. He asks if it has to do with the shard in her chest. Sammie isn't sure. Oliver asks if anything else odd has been happening and Sammie tells him about her instinct to crush the car. They let the topic go for now. 
On Sunday afternoon, Bjorn gets a call from Holland. She tells him that something bad has happened down at the community center. She tells him to bring his team, but they might want to leave Henry behind due to the gruesome nature of the scene. Bjorn calls Miguel, assuming Henry is with Miguel, to tell them about what's going on. Bjorn asks if Miguel thinks Henry is up for it and he says he'll ask. Henry bristles at Holland assuming he can't handle it and says he can go. Bjorn then calls Sammie and tells her to meet them at the community center. 
Sammie arrives at the community center first. The building is heavily guarded, police cars and officers everywhere. There are some officers keeping an eye out for her that wave her through. She's taken back to the gymnasium where she finds Holland and the gruesome scene. A body lays in the center of the gym, around the body the floor has been painted in an intricate pattern of lines and shapes. The body itself has been splayed out as wide as possible and nailed to the ground. Looking at it, Sammie realizes the head from the body is gone and the spine has been cut from its back. 
Sammie asks who found the body and Holland tells her that someone who came into the gym early found it. Sammie asks if they found the other parts that are missing and Holland points up to the ceiling. Sammie looks up and sees the head dangling above them. Jolene tells her they haven't found the spine yet. Henry arrives in the hall outside the gym and Sammie steps in front of him, warning him that this is a rough one and to prepare himself. Henry steps in and freezes. He takes a deep breath and then sets about investigating the scene. 
Sammie is examining the circle painted around the body. Suddenly, her brain starts to connect shapes and patterns that are painted on the floor. Two words come to her mind: witch circle. Her body freezes and her eyes are forced closed. When she opens them, she is somewhere else. She's standing in the woods at the edge of the same bloody circle. She recognizes some of the symbols and knows they mean something akin to 'death turning to life.' Her hand reaches out, but it's not her own hand. The hand lights up with green flames...
