Secrets of Sulphur Springs S3 E1

## Plot

After a recap of some of the most important things that happened in season 2, we pick up right where we left off. This season premiered over a year after season 2 did. I binged all eight episodes in one day on Disney+. Topher, Wyatt, and Zoey actually get involved with the plot this season, even if they don't really do anything to help until episode 6. That's only because their older siblings don't want them to get hurt though. Also, I looked it up, and Zoey's actress, Madeleine McGraw, is actually older than Savannah's actress, Elle Graham (who I share a birthday with). Ben realizes that the bunker must have been built during the Cold War, and it's where Harper and Griffin have been hanging out. He recognizes the radio as the same one that was in the hidden room that he and Griffin explored in episode 3 of season 1. Technically, it's just the same model, but whatever. Harper honestly tells Ben that the last time she saw Griffin, he was up in the lobby. She gets him to leave by reminding him that he has to turn off the water main. He asks her to tell Griffin that they can't explore anymore or hang out in an abandoned bunker. Harper says she'll meet up with him right now and make sure he doesn't hatch any crazy schemes. Savannah overheard everything, including the extra emphasis that Harper put on the word hatch. In 2024, Griffin asks Sam how he can be so calm, and he tells him that this place hasn't been his home for a very long time. Griffin doesn't want to stand and watch as everything his family has worked for just burns to the ground. Before he can look for a hose, Sam tells him that even though they don't really know each other, Griffin has to trust him. He's been in the future long enough to know that this is what happens when evil goes unchecked. He agrees to show Griffin where his family is now as a fire truck shows up. Topher, Wyatt, and Zoey don't buy the story that all of the water was from a busted pipe. It could've been Savannah's ghost, but she's never been mean before. She could've been trying to warn them about other ghosts. Sarah sees the sludge from room 205 recede back in, but when she opens the door, it's gone. The new ghost is represented by black smoke. When it passes by a hat rack, Sarah sees the shadow of a hat on it. Jess, Ben, and the kids hear her scream. She fainted and doesn't remember what happened. Zoey picks up her hairpin. She claims that she passed out because she was busy running around all day and just forgot to eat. The ghost closes the door after the adults leave, which scares the kids. Savannah meets up with Harper at the hatch. She makes a reference to *Peter Gunn*, an old television show from the late 1950s and early 60s that her mom likes to watch. She's going to be so worried when she doesn't come home. Harper assures her that they'll figure this out. They head to the springs to try and find a new crystal. Griffin looks through a fence and sees Wyatt and Zoey fighting about whether or not to visit "him". Wyatt doesn't want to because he doesn't think it will change anything, but Zoey thinks it might. Griffin asks Sam who they were talking about. The evil in room 205 seeped out of the room and into the rest of the hotel, and it changed everyone who lived there, including him. Grace and Sam spent years searching for a crystal, but Harper and Savannah don't have that kind of time. Harper told Savannah about getting visions of Griffin in a fire. She's worried that it happened in the future and it's already too late to save him. She reveals that he's more than her best friend. They almost kissed a few weeks ago. Savannah tells her that it took them long enough. It's obvious that the two of them are destined to be together forever, like how seahorses stay together for life. She hopes she'll have that one day. Griffin and Sam see that Ben and a sixteen year old Griffin now work at an auto shop. Future Griffin isn't in school anymore and doesn't care about work. His dad tells him that not many people are willing to give him a second chance after what he did. He leaves to go to the school dance and try to make things right, despite Ben telling him that this can't be fixed. Present day Griffin thinks that Harper must still be the same in this future. Harper and Savannah didn't find another crystal. At this point, their only option might be gluing the old one back together. Savannah wants to stay in the woods like she used to, but Harper tells her that camp and the treehouse are gone, and she can't just stay in the woods at night with no shelter. She can get into Griffin's room by climbing a tree. In 2024, future Griffin is denied entry to the homecoming dance because it's for students only, and he was expelled, so he gives up and leaves. Present Griffin overhears Harper telling someone that he's out of her life for good. Despite Sam telling him not to, he goes inside to talk to her and find out why she hates him. Harper never goes out anymore, and she finds out that Griffin is there and looking for her. Jess and Sarah talk about what happened upstairs, but Sarah doesn't seem to believe that a pipe burst. It's like her eyes are playing tricks on her. The plumber found a crystal lodged in the pipe, which Harper sees. In the future, she tells Griffin that it should've been him instead of Topher. Savannah hears the kids coming down the hall and hides in room 205.
