Episode 12: Bjorn's Revenge

== Synopsis ==
Bjorn, Henry, and Sammie are able to defeat the Banshee. Annie is returned home unharmed. Miguel discovers something interesting about Sammie, that she shouldn't have been able to see the banshee at all. 
== Episode Description ==
Bjorn's life is on the line, and the heroes only have 12 hours to save him. They finally find out what they need to know to try to take out the singing monster once and for all.
== Key Events ==
* Bjorn discovers that if the object the banshee is tied to is destroyed, the banshee will become corporeal and can be killed. 
* Bjorn melts down the comb and summons the banshee. Now corporeal, they are able to kill the banshee. 
* Miguel finds out that banshees can only be seen by people who are marked for death or magical creatures, like Dragon Knights. To everyone else, it should be invisible, but Sammie could see the banshee. 
== Summary ==
During Bjorn's research, he finds out that if the object the banshee is tied to is melted down, the banshee will become corporeal and anything will be able to harm it. Magic can harm it, but will never kill it. After seeing the vision from the banshee marking him as his next target, he goes to make coffee and finds Stanley to tell him that he's next. 
They decide to do some more research before going to Annie and Sophia's house. Henry finds more details about the banshee's abilities, including the 'scream of death' which marks a person for death, the 'scream of pain' which deafens people and causes injury, that it can move things telekinetically, and has the 'touch of ice' which freezes someone in place for 30 seconds. They take a chance to rest up, and Bjorn goes on a run listening to 'Eye of the Tiger.' 
Bjorn, Henry, and Sammie head to Sophia and Annie's house around 7AM. Sophia says that Annie didn't come home last night and she has no idea where she could be. Her only guess is that she knows Annie goes down to the park to play her violin with her friends. They decide to go search Annie's room to see if they can find anything to help. 
Bjorn notices a picture of Annie on the wall with her standing with her violin in a theatre. Henry finds Sophia's diary. One of the first entries is wishing her father was here to see her perform with her violin. The next is about how her mom has a new boyfriend that she doesn't like. A few days later, she says that Dale is awful and she wishes she could get rid of him. She also notes he gave her some kind of antique to 'keep her quiet.' Then, the last entry says, "Oh my god. It's been me the whole time. I don't want this." Bjorn looks through Annie's night stand and finds an antique silver comb with pearl inlays. They decide they have what they need and head to the same theatre that they had been outside last night. 
Henry breaks into the theatre by ripping open a side door with his claws. They walk into the theater and hear someone playing a violin inside. They make their way into the stage. There's a single spotlight on, shining on Annie sitting on the center stage playing her violin. They assure Annie they're not here to hurt her. Annie is surprised they know about the monster and Bjorn informs her that he's the next target, so he's well aware. 
Annie says there's nothing they can do to stop the monster. Bjorn pulls out the comb and tells her that they can actually stop it. They ask her if she remembers seeing them last night. Annie doesn't remember much except being attacked by fire and being mad at Bjorn. She describes it like being in the back seat of your own mind. As they approach, she says not to come any closer because the banshee is scared of Bjorn. In response, Bjorn takes out the comb and lights his hand on fire to melt it. 
Annie screams and collapses, then her body glows with a green light and the banshee bursts out of her body. Bjorn immediately gets a shot off and the banshee is obviously wounded. Sammie is able to shoot it with a crossbow bolt before she is tossed across the theater. Henry attempts to act, but is frozen in place by the monster. Bjorn also attempts for another shot, but is unsuccessful. Sammie fires off one more bolt. It hits the banshee directly between her eyes and the monster explodes into dust. A cold settles over the theatre. 
Bjorn goes to Annie to make sure she's okay. He gently shakes her awake and she's immediately relieved to find out the monster is dead. She begins to sob and hugs Bjorn for comfort. After she's calmed down, Bjorn collects the banshee dust. Sammie wants what's left of the comb to send to the Order, but Henry doesn't want her to have all of it. Bjorn uses some fire to break it in half. 
Bjorn, Henry, and Sammie take Annie home to Sophia. Annie says she just needed some time to be alone, and the three cover for her. Sophia grounds Annie, but Annie mouths 'thank you' as she goes up the stairs. Bjorn tells Sophia that she's going to be keeping an eye on her, and then they leave. After they leave, Sophia starts dumping all of her alcohol and pills down the drain. 
Once back at the Fort, Bjorn lets Jolene know that she won't have any more deaths related to dying of fright and that she'll probably be alerted to a break in at the theatre. They talk the case over with Stanley who says they've earned their rest, head on home, and he'd call them when something else came up. 
Before Sammie leaves, Miguel asks if he can talk to her. He takes her to his office and asks her to talk about herself and how she got into monster hunting. Sammie says she was attacked by a large creature, but she doesn't know what it was. Miguel seems skeptical. He then explains that he was reading through the book written in an old Celtic language that Sammie had been reading before. He says it was written by a Dragon Knight and he said in his writings that he was hunting a banshee and the people in his crew couldn't see it because they were human and non-magical. Miguel asks Sammie again if she knows how to use magic. She insists that she does not.
