## Summary

Henry tells Oliver what he found. Henry suggests they drive to the university to find the professor and drop Helena off at a hopsital on the way. Anthony suggests they wait for Bjorn and Sammie to catch up to them. After a time, Bjorn and Sammie spot the car and land beside it. They all get back in the car and Henry passes along what he's learned. Henry thinks they should talk to him in person but Bjorn and Sammie think it would save time to try and call him. Henry works on trying to find his phone number.

Sammie notices that Helena isn't doing well. Anthony says he thinks she is sick with something and Sammie attempts to heal her again, this time looking for some kind of illness. Helena doesn't come to afterward but some color returns to her and her breathing is easier.

Henry finds the number for the suspended professor and picks up his phone to call before realizing it is after 3 o' clock in the morning. He suggests they take a break and nap in the car or drive into another hotel before calling the professor at a reasonable hour but the others don't think they have time for that, even as exhausted as they all are. Henry calls multiple times but it goes to voice mail. Eventually he tries again and a groggy man answers saying this better not be a prank call. Henry says that this is something that will make him famous and Professor Tahoma hangs up. Bjorn rolls his eyes and asks for the number. Henry doesn't want to give it to him. Bjorn forcibly grabs the phone out of Henry's hand and types the number into his own phone so it appears as a different number when he calls.

Bjorn calls and tells Professor Tahoma that they need to know how to kill a creature from one of his legends, one that he can't speak the name of or else it will know where they are. Tahoma asks why they need to know how to kill it and Bjorn says because if they don't it will kill more innocent people. Tahoma asks if Bjorn is being serious and he says he is and gives him more details to lend credence to his story. Tahoma tells him that they'll need white ash - they'll need to dip a knife or bullet into white-colored ash to get it into their wounds. He adds that jade also will hurt it. Bjorn asks him if there's anything else they need to know and Tahoma tells him to be careful as it can mimic voices. Before Bjorn can hang up, Tahoma asks who he is and works for, then explains that he's been suspended from his job and could use some official pull to get him out of trouble. Bjorn says he'll do his best and then hangs up.

They take some time to prepare - Bjorn takes everyone's ammunition and covers them and fills them with the white ash that Henry collected. As they make their way back to the inn, Helena comes to. She is confused and asks what happened. Sammie again explains that she's the one that sent her the address to this place and shows her the message. Helena says she never sent that text, she's been in and out of consciousness for close to three days. She asks aloud why she and Anthony weren't eaten and Sammie realizes its because this was a trap - the creatures wanted to lure more victims in. Helena asks where her phone is now and Henry remembers there was a phone on the front seat of the rental car that was parked in front of the inn.

Even if it was a trap, Helena isn't sure why she was left alive for so long. Anthony suggests it's because witches don't taste good and she elbows him in the side, saying she's not a witch anymore. They assume for now that maybe the creatures were just full from other victims they'd eaten recently. Bjorn suggests that when they get to the inn, they try to scratch the woman there with a piece of jade first to see if she reacts, just to confirm that she is in fact a skinwalker.

Bjorn, Henry, Sammie, Oliver, Helena, and Anthony walk in the the inn. The woman is at the counter, saying she had just started to make breakfast. Bjorn hurriedly grabs her arm and tries to scratch it with the shard of jade that he has. He does and the woman's skin begins to blister, bubbling and peeling away from the wound. Bjorn looks up to see the woman's eyes have changed - instead of normal human eyes they are lizard-like and glowing blue. The woman smiles and her lips split open. She seems to push her hand forward through the skin of her arm itself, the skin breaks away and a long, disgusting claw rips through and imbeds itself into Bjorn's stomach.
