## Summary

*The following is a summary written for this wiki. It only hits the major points of the episode and, as such, should not be used as a substitute for listening to the episode as intended by the creators.*
Ed argues with Lucy over the phone who has concerns about some boxes in the refrigerator and how they might contaminate the food in there. Ed cuts the conversation short when Linus Whickman approaches Ed about building a loft bed for his daughter. She agrees to do it for $350 and gives him her information before the two part ways.

Some time later, Ed goes to Linus's house to talk about the project. She wants to see his daughter's room to to get an idea on sizing, but he says she's busy with her studies and doesn't want to interrupt her. He takes Ed to the guest room, which is roughly the same size and his daughter room, though he dodges Ed's question about his daughter's name. She asks Linus for a tape measurer, pen, and paper. She also asks some painkillers for a migraine he has coming on, something that's been happening frequently since moving to Jerusalem.

Lucy accompanies Ed to the hardware store. While Ed tries to find everything she needs for the loft bed, Lucy questions Ed's sense of things when she realizes Ed never met Linus's daughter. Ed brushes Lucy off as being paranoid and calls her out for being a hypocrite about insisting nothing weird is happening in the town. Then Linus appears. Lucy tries to pull Ed away from conversation with him, but Ed is annoyed with Lucy's disregard for the weird goings on in Jerusalem and engages Linus. Linus agrees with Ed on the weirdness and invites her back over to show her his evidence. He leaves and Lucy pointedly states that she doesn't trust him. Ed, still miffed at Lucy, disregards her and spitefully says she'll got over and have a lovely time with someone who believes her. The two take their leave.

Ed heads over for dinner at Linus's the next day. She complains about Lucy and everyone else ignoring the weirdness around while she eats. Linus calls out the monster attacks at Lincoln Farms, immediately endearing her to him in her excitement that someone finally believes her. Ed then asks about Linus's daughter joining them for dinner and he seems to forget about her for a moment. He then says she's tired from studying fer her test the next day. Ed then excuses herself to the bathroom.

On the way, she smells something strange. She catches what should be the door to Linus's daughters room and a wet, sticky substance coming from the door frame. Her curiosity gets the better of her and she peeks inside only to find that Linus's daughter is a cocoon. Linus appears behind Ed, catching her off guard. Ed thinks he some sort of alien, but he refutes that and jabs his suddenly long fingernails into Ed's shoulder. He then taunts her about everyone saying it isn't her time yet and throws her across the room, next to the cocoon. She then threatens the cocoon, but Linus isn't worried and he grabs her by the throat. Suddenly, Lucy bursts in and beats Linus with her cane causing him to release Ed. While Lucy attacks Linus, Ed get a lighter from Lucy's pocket and and sets fire to the cocoon. Linus, suddenly worried about the cocoon, yells at Ed who promptly pushes him into the fire.

Lucy helps Ed out of the rapidly burning house. Ed recalls shakily the attack she just suffered from Linus and that he had wings. Lucy tries to dismiss Linus having wings. Ed calls BS and also demands to know why Lucy was even there. Lucy insists she's in the right because her instincts told her Whickman was trouble and that Ed would be in trouble if she didn't show up. Ed then pushes her on being so calm about the weirdness they just witnessed but Lucy pushes back saying Ed is in shock and tries to gaslight her into believing her mind is concocting a strange scenario to cope with what just happened.

As they leave, Ed admits she's thankful Lucy showed up. Lucy then tries to take Ed to the hospital, but Ed insists not to and that she'll bandage herself up at home. Ed continues to push Lucy's weird avoidance of the supernatural and Lucy continues to refuse to validate Ed. Ed softens as Lucy tries to care for Ed, in her own way, and the two continue to bicker as they leave.

## Notes

* Several mentions of *The X-Files* occur towards the end of the episode. "The series revolves around Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Special Agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), who investigate the eponymous "X-Files": marginalized, unsolved cases involving paranormal phenomena. Mulder is a skilled criminal profiler, an ardent supernaturalist, and a conspiracy theorist who believes in the existence of the paranormal, whereas Scully is a medical doctor and a skeptic who has been assigned to scientifically analyze Mulder's discoveries."
	+ Ed and Lucy's dynamic is likened to Mulder and Scully respectively, with Ed being the believer and Lucy being the skeptic.
