### 1.01 Pilot

First appearing as a shadow figure to several drivers at a pedestrian crossing in the middle of Lincoln City, she would stand in the way of oncoming cars, or sometimes re-enact her death, in order to scare motorists to stop only for her to disappear the moment anyone left their vehicle, she usually targeted people in pick-up trucks thus suggesting it was a pick-up that hit her the night she died - it is because of this that when a certain pickup comes to her attention, she mentally torments the driver and even causes him to lose control of his truck and smash into a bus stop, causing an accident - this alerts former Torchwood Institute member turned hunter of the Supernatural, Shane, who guides the driver of the pickup away from the crash scene as the man explains his story.

She then uses her ghostly powers to cause harm to the truck driver, she is initially trapped in a salt circle created by the truck driver at Shane's orders causing Mary to scream when she comes into contact with it, Shane then tries to help her move on. However, Mary eventually escapes the circle and confronts Shane, showing her determination not to do so.

Following this encounter, Shane becomes intrigued by Mary's case and seeks to understand her story. He researches her background and discovers that Mary was a secretary at a law firm that went bankrupt due to fraud and embezzlement. He believes that Mary's unfinished business and unresolved anger are keeping her tied to the mortal world as a vengeful spirit, now officially in his first ever case; Shane attempts to assist Mary in finding closure and moving on but she refuses, despite injuring her boss Mr. Withers with a lamp before this confrontation, after she disappears - Shane decides to finish this case "Old School" and locates Mary's grave using a website called "Find a Grave" - it is there that he encounters Mary's ghost again and tries to reason with her, sharing his own experiences of loss and adaptation. However, Mary rejects his help and expresses her anger towards his involvement and goes to perform a traditional hunter activity of "salting and burning" the remains of Mary so her ghost can rest however, upon realizing what Shane is up to, the ghost possesses her own corpse (thus creating a sort of Zombie) as Mary's corpse attempts to climb out of the somewhat deep grave, Shane uses quick thinking to throw salt into the grave and over the now reanimated Mary before grabbing a gas lighter and setting the corpse's suit jacket on fire causing the corpse to burn and the spirit of Mary to retreat from it, she once again reappears as a ghost by the grave, she is on her knees and doesn't seem as powerful as before, she looks over at Shane and seems to be at peace before disappearing for a final time.
