## Summary

After being forced to move, a family ends up in a ramshackle house in the town of Mohawk. Tortured spirits make a connection with the family's autistic son.

## Plot

The episode opens on the porch of a house in Mohawk in the year 2007, with a man's severed head near a broken porch swing. Moments earlier, a young girl is sitting out on the porch, while her parents fight inside the house. Her mother is screaming and visibly angry, and her father is much more happy in contrast. Her father laughs loudly, and her mother, infuriated, draws back and smacks him across the face. Shocked and angered, her father draws back and smacks her mother back. Moments later, her father goes out on the porch and tries to light a cigarette, only to see that the porch swing is broken. He goes over to it and examines the broken chains, and is startled by disembodied laughter in the distance. He finally lights his cigarette as a ghostly figure appears behind him, The girl's mother leaves the house and calls his name, only to scream in horror as she sees his severed head on the porch.

In 2018, a family of four arrives at the now-vacant house. The mother, Nicole, is upset, insisting that the house looks nothing like the one they were shown. Her husband, Chad, insists to the contrary. The family enters the empty house and goes to the living room, where the boy, Sammy, sits on the floor and takes out a box filled with rocks. His older sister, Tiffany, asks her father when the moving truck will get there, and after being told it would arrive within a week, asks where they're supposed to eat and sleep. They are interrupted by a knock at the door, and Chad goes to answer it as he tells Tiffany they'll make do. Chad opens the door to a woman holding a cake and cheerfully introducing herself as their new neighbor, Kathy. Kathy offers Chad the cake and asks what brought the family to Mohawk when Tiffany walks in. Tiffany explains, rather crassly, that Chad lost his high-paying job as a doctor because he "couldn't keep his hands off his nursing staff", and notes that the device on Kathy's hip is "gross" before walking away. Chad thanks the now-uncomfortable Kathy for the cake and excuses himself, saying the family needs to finish unpacking.

In the living room, the family starts to fight again. Nicole is upset about how long it will take to flip the house; Tiffany insists that they're screwed and asks her father why he couldn't keep his hands to himself; Chad angrily snaps at Tiffany for continuing to bring up why they moved. Meanwhile, Sammy is sitting nearby with his rocks, and the fighting of his family members starts to push him more and more towards the edge. He begins scratching his head and falls on his back, shrieking loudly and causing his family to stop fighting. Nicole supports his head and tries to soothe him while Tiffany brings over a blanket.

Later that day, Sammy is sitting in a rather abandoned park, going through the rocks when a girl walks up to him. She asks him what he's doing and calls him a weirdo; Sammy is quiet for a moment before showing her an arrowhead he found. He asks her if she thinks a Native American tribe previously lived on the land, and the girl takes the arrowhead and snaps it in half. Suddenly, Sammy hears disembodied whispers and sees the chain swing behind him moving on its own. The girl sees this and runs away, but Sammy sits on the swing next to it, introducing himself and asking what the invisible force's name is. He seemingly gets no response and starts to leave, but he looks back at the swing set and smiles at the girl swinging on it. Elsewhere, the girl who broke the arrowhead is riding her bike when the chain suddenly snaps and she crashes on the ground, presumably dying when she hits her head.

That night, Sammy and Nicole are attempting to properly eat their takeout with chopsticks, with Nicole praising Sammy when he successfully uses his chopsticks. Sammy tells her that he made a new friend today and Nicole is happy for him -- however, Sammy hears more whispers and the sound of clinking chains. He looks out the window and Nicole looks out as well, but there is nothing there. Later, Sammy is in what will be his bedroom, and begins laying out his arrowhead collection. Tiffany comes to his door and sees what he's doing, and remarks that she can't believe they're related. Immediately after, an invisible force begins pulling on her necklace, choking her as disembodied giggles echo through the house. Tiffany manages to pull off her necklace and throws it on the ground, where it lands at a pair of bloody, bandaged feet. Tiffany looks up and sees a young girl with bloody clothes and chains wrapped around her body, and she screams and runs away.
