## Summary

Henry and Bjorn had left Sammie alone in the docks. Henry goes to his room to try and decompress - torn because he understands where Sammie is coming from. In the kitchen, Bjorn paces back and forth. Anger bursts through him and he starts to transform into a werewolf, but fights the urge and stays in his human form.

Sammie asks Stanley to fly her to Elise's apartment, but he refuses saying it's a bad idea. Sammie pushes past him and runs down the hall, looking for one of the boys to take her to Elise. She finds Bjorn first and tells him what's going on. They go up to find Miguel and ask him for the matching tracking bracelet so they can find her. Miguel hands it to her and Sammie is able to tell that Elise has already been taken somewhere off shore. She gets another text on her phone. It's a picture of Elise with a black eye and a bloodied lip. The text says for Sammie to meet Molly in the same place in one hour. Sammie shows it to Bjorn.

Sammie, totally overwhelmed by everything, collapses to the ground. She puts her hands on her head and says she wishes they could just do everything over again. Sammie suddenly has a realization. They went through a time loop at least 3 times earlier that day. The monster was attracted to grief. Bjorn realizes they still have the body. He asks Miguel if they can use it as a component to reset the loop one more time. Sammie adds on that if they can't, maybe they can open a portal and attract another one to them. Miguel agrees to attracting a new one. He looks sadly at the intricate circle he's just completed, knowing he will now have to do it all over again when time resets, before saying they can use the body of the other monster combined with Sammie's grief to attract one.

They talk it out with Miguel and Miguel says that because they're magical, they should be able to reset time to wherever they need it to be. Sammie says they should reset time to when they were all outside the hospital, that way they can bring Elise to safety. Miguel reminds her there is a limited range of effect and anyone not in their vicinity won't remember anything that's happened. The crew is okay with that. Miguel agrees to help them carry out the plan, but emphasizes they only have one shot at this.

Sammie continues to get texts from Molly. Oliver takes it and smashes it on the ground. They all gather in the workshop and begin the process. Miguel says Sammie will need to use her Third Eye to lock on to the signature of the Dream Weaver, he'll open a Rift, and Sammie will summon the creature and allow it to attach to her.

Miguel opens up the Rift. Sammie automatically feels pulled toward the Rift and Bjorn pulls her back. Sammie holds the body of the dead creature, using it to lock onto its signature. Eventually, Sammie brings a live Dream Weaver through. It jumps through the portal and attaches to Sammie's chest. Sammie immediately feels sick, like she's lost some of her life force. Bjorn and Oliver keep her upright as Miguel closes the portal. Miguel tells her she needs to focus on exactly where she wants the time loop to start. Sammie focuses on the moment.

Bjorn, Henry, Sammie, and Oliver all find themselves in front of the hospital. Sammie now suddenly has the creature attached to her chest, Bjorn gives her his jacket to cover it with. Elise asks what's going on and Sammie quickly explains. Elise is surprised that Sammie is so open and Sammie says she wasn't the first time. They round up Grandma Francesca and Elise's younger siblings, Anna and Lorenzo, and then Sammie heads over to see if her dad is home. Her dad answers the door and refuses to come with her. Sammie punches him in the nose and Tony kicks her feet out from under her. Sammie mind wipes him to knock him out. Tony hits his head off the sink as he passes out and crumples to the floor. Henry comes in to help Sammie get her dad out and into a car.

It takes some time, but they are able to transport everyone to the Fort. On their way in, Ben spots them. He's carrying some books he's taken from Henry's stash. He says he's going to go back to his room and Henry calls after him that he better get those books back. They throw Tony into a cell and put everyone else in a guest room. They all meet back up in the situation room to discuss where to go from here.
