== Summary ==
Bjorn, Henry, and Sammie round a corner in the tunnel and see a man with red hair standing in a small cave area with a flashlight. There's grass and leaves that have been formed into a nest with picked-clean white bones scattered across the cave floor - some look animal and some look human. The red head introduces himself as Oliver Allen Evans. Bjorn recognizes the name and remembers that Oliver is someone H.U.N.T.E.R. has been keeping tabs on because he claims to be a professional monster hunter and has a large following on social media. Oliver posts about the things H.U.N.T.E.R. tries to keep secret. 
Oliver says he's here looking into the deaths. Bjorn says it's just a wild animal. Oliver insists that it's not and seems to allude that he knows more than they do. He says that he's a professional monster hunter and people pay him to go hunt monsters. He asks who Bjorn, Henry, and Sammie are. Bjorn flips his badge and tells them that they're FBI, and Oliver immediately tries to leave. Sammie blocks him on the way out. She says that she's not working for the FBI. To prove to him who she's working for, she flips down the collar of her jacket and shows him a tattoo on her neck. Oliver's eyes light up. 
Oliver then tells them that he believes what they're looking for is a wendigo. Henry says that normally wendigos are in hibernation during summer. Oliver explains that in his experience, the only time wendigos retreat is when they've been significantly injured. He says that he found newspaper clippings from about 3-4 years ago about attacks that seemed to be wendigo attacks, but then they stopped. Bjorn tries to play it off and say that it's nothing supernatural. 
Bjorn, Henry, Sammie, and Oliver exit the cave. Oliver begins to film himself as they leave and the rest of the crew hides their faces. Bjorn tells Oliver that he should stay away, as it seems 'whatever it may be' is very dangerous. Oliver isn't fazed and tells them he'll see them soon. Oliver leaves, heading to the main island. Bjorn, Henry, and Sammie leave in their boat and head back to the main island as well. On their way back to the mainland, Sammie's phone blows up. She has 12 missed calls from Blue and immediately gets another call from him. She's scolded for being out of cell service range and is told that her mission is to track down whatever is causing the deaths around the island and to keep a man named 'Oliver' away from them. Bjorn is suspicious of the tattoo on Sammie's neck, especially after seeing Oliver's reaction to it. He inspects it on the boat ride and doesn't recognize it, but files it away for later. 
Henry calls Stanley and Miguel to let them know what they found out and about Oliver. Both Stanley and Miguel have a negative reaction to learning about Oliver, they know of him and know he's trouble. But as soon as Stanley hears 'wendigo' he tells them to come back to the Fort immediately. They do so and talk with Stanley about what's going on. Stanley informs them that this wendigo first appeared several years ago and its first victim was Miguel's wife, Lucy Rodriguez, and that the creature is the reason Miguel is in a wheelchair now. Stanley tells them that they were able to wound it last time, but obviously it hadn't been killed since it was back now. 
Henry goes to talk to Miguel in private. He asks Miguel if they have any leads on how to kill it for good. Miguel says no, that he had been researching for a long time, but stopped once they wounded it because he thought it was dead. Before Henry leaves, Miguel hands him 6 silver bullets, informing him that silver will wound the wendigo more. 
Stanley gets a phone call from his friend, Reggie, who reports that there is an eviscerated body hanging from a tree. Stanley assumes it can only be the wendigo and sends the crew over to investigate. Stanley gives them the coordinates to an isolated spot in Big Gator Swamp where Reggie lives. Before they leave, Bjorn puts a request in with Miguel for 9mm silver bullets and Sammie requests silver bullets for her sniper rifle. On the way to meet Reggie, Henry chats with MonsterHunter69 to clear his debt with him so that he can ask for more information later. 
The crew reaches Reggie in Big Gator Swamp. Reggie shows them where a human body is hanging in a tree in horrible condition. Reggie informs them that he just found the body there while foraging. While investigating the scene, Oliver Allen Evans appears from the woods. Bjorn tries to scare him away by saying it's a crime scene, but that doesn't bother Oliver. Oliver joins the investigation and Bjorn insists that it's a dangerous animal and nothing supernatural, but insists that Oliver hand over his camera. Suddenly, Oliver drops the camera as he's looking up at the body. His face changes and he starts to look nervous. Oliver realizes the body hasn't been eaten at all and that the wendigo has to be on its way back to eat the body - they're all in danger. 
As Oliver has this realization, the trees begin to rustle and a roar comes from within them. A doe runs out of the woods. Bjorn shoots it in an attempt to give the wendigo more food to distract it and orders everyone to start running. They turn to run toward Reggie's cabin when the Wendigo drops down in front of them. It's 9 feet tall. It looks skeletal, with broken deer antlers on top of its head. It stands on two legs and has rotten flesh hanging from it in ribbons. It's teeth are broken and yellowed and stares at the group from empty eye sockets.
