==Synopsis==
Mr. Bratt gives Margot an old scrapbook that sends her to 1993 when her mom was a student at Port Lawrence High.
==Plot==
Nora gets institutionalized and has a vision of Harold while Bratt spies on her. Colin takes Lucas in, making things incredibly awkward. They are soon joined by Sarah, who has returned from Seattle, but she does not appear to be in any mood to discus what has been going on with Colin or the recent supernatural things that have happened with the kids. Isaiah, James, and Isabella impatiently wait for Margot and Lucas to arrive for a meeting, the two have started developing feelings for one another, while Isaiah had broken up with Allison, making it difficult for him to confess his feelings to Margot.
Sarah learns that Victoria has placed Nora on pills and confronts her about it. After getting turned away, she runs into Colin who finally confesses that he and Nora have been seeing each other due to their trial separation. Sarah is upset, but ultimately decides to talk with Nora, telling her that she believes what has happened recently and tells her to avoid taking the pills that the nurses have been giving her.
While Nora tries to research what happened in the past, Bratt, at the urging of Harold, gives her a journal that belonged to Harold before abruptly leaving. Margot finds that when she opens the book to a certain page, she is mentally thrown back in time and witnesses her and her friends' parents as teenager along with Harold Biddle who appears to be close with Sarah. Margot discovers that the AV room was once a photo development room and goes there to learn that Harold took pictures of the things that interested him the most.
Margot gets together with the rest of her friends and tells them about the book. She opens it in the auditorium and witnesses Harold and Sarah getting into an argument. However, Harold suddenly acknowledges Margot and forces her to come with him. The rest of the teens are forced to drag Margot out of school and, using the book, head to the Biddle House. Margot watches the events of Harold's death unfold where it is revealed that the disturbances were caused by their parents. Harold attempts to burn Margot, but the rest of the teens arrive and rescue her while also learning that the fire was caused by their parents.
The parents are revealed to have stolen a suitcase of some kind and the teens wonder what was in it. Bratt suddenly appears and offers them to come inside so that he can tell them everything including what was in the suitcase.
