Beatriz Reyes

**Beatriz Reyes** is a Visser building tenant who has the ability to talk to the dead.

## History

In the Visser building, Jess gives Ms. Wall something of hers and gets invited to tea. Jess introduces Melody to Ms. Wall, who smells her and does not answer if she wants to be interviewed. After that, Jess greets Beatriz, who already knew about Melody's film and invites her in.

With Beatriz Reyes, Melody is told that she had come to stay with her cousin who ran off with some pothead. She prepares to read Melody's cards as she tells her that residents there are very strange because there was a sex club, meeting in the community room at night. Melody cuts the cards and is told that her past was full of grief and pain; in the present, there was something hidden and had guided her to the building - someone. Melody mentions that she is trying to track down Julia Bennett, who she could not find. Beatriz tells her to check mailbox 4G and tells her that her future contained death, but she tells her not to take the card literally, which shocks Dan.

Jess wonders if Patricia told Melody about her tapes, which surprises her. Samuel brings a guest named Evie Crest who was outside and says she forgot the code. Cassandra introduces her to everyone as Dan wonders what she is doing there. Evie says that she had always been fascinated by Eleanor's work, as Samuel apologizes for sitting next to Melody. He explains that Cassandra rarely lets men stay, so he could not refuse, but Melody says it is fine. Cassandra tells them that Evie is William Crest's daughter. They say that he filmed The Circle, which was lost and inspired by a snuff film, which was about some sort of ritual sacrifice, which Cassandra is very interested in seeing and getting information on. Tamara interrupts and says that William died because of suicide, which provokes a lot of tension, which Evie admits to be true, but she does not want to accept that he had abandoned them. Cassandra tells her that there may be a way to speak to him from beyond since Beatriz is a very talented medium. After they both accept, they start making room as Melody grabs a pick and heads towards the cabinet.

Beatriz calls for the spirits and asks for the dead to be with them, calling for William. The candles start flickering and Beatriz starts shuddering. Evie asks if William is there, but Tamara tells her to ask him something only he would know. Evie asks about her sixth birthday and William recalls, so Evie is shocked. Cassandra tells her to ask him about the film, which confuses Evie, but she does as is asked and William says that the party was Peter Crawford's. Cassandra wants to know if they ever found a copy, so Evie asks, but William asks them to stay away and grows desperate as a demonic voice takes over Beatriz's voice. Once they lose connection to William, Cassandra tells her to try again, but Beatriz refuses, as Melody comforts Evie.

As she gets up, Melody is asked by Cassandra if there is somebody she would like to contact, but she says she does not, since she was not dead. However, Cassandra says that she does not know that for sure, so she sits down and hands Beatriz Julia Bennett's ring. Beatriz calls Julia, but the lights do not flicker and Beatriz apologizes, saying that she could not find her presence among the dead, which makes Melody feel relieved. However, as they touch hands, Beatriz feels someone else.

Dan keeps watching the tape and sees as Beatriz's eyes get white. She looks at Melody and says that she can get out of her way. She tells Melody that she knows she is a good person and that she cares about people. Beatriz thanks the other person and says she does not understand as Melody asks what is going on. Dan realizes that Beatriz is repeating the conversation he just had with Melody and she gets confused as well, saying that Beatriz could not know what was going on in her dreams and in her head. Casandra stops Beatriz, but she finishes what she was saying and starts scratching her face so hard, she starts bleeding. Tamara and Samuel get up, stopping her from scratching herself and tell the rest to call an ambulance.

When the ambulance gets to the Visser, Melody asks how it was even possible for Beatriz to see what was going on in her dreams, but she is pushed away by the EMTs and the ambulance leaves with Beatriz.

Melody sleeps with the television on at the hospital, waiting for Beatriz to wake up. She walks out of the room and gets a coffee as she hears Dan. Suddenly, she wakes up startled and sees that she is still at the hospital. She calls Beatriz and asks who the man she saw is, asking her if she could go one more time, but Beatriz sobs and says no, grabbing Melody by the hand and squeezing very hard while saying "Don't let it out" with a demonic voice.
