## Summary

Bjorn, Henry, and Sammie meet in the hallway again at the Fort as the time loop resets. They catch Stanley up to speed - again - and try to figure out where to go from here. Sammie points out that they are being reset at a specific time and that maybe it is tied to Whittaker or the museum. Henry does some research online and speculates the tie is to Whittaker.

Sammie does some research into what creature can cause this. She finds something called a Dream Looper or Dream Weaver. It latches onto a person that has gone through something traumatic. It feeds off of their pain and resets time, promising them time and time again that they'll get a chance to fix what went wrong within the time loop, only to reset it before they can. The Dream Weaver will drain the person dry and once the creatures releases its victim, the person dies.

Henry tries to find information on how Whittaker is tied to this creature and these events. He finds an article on the museum page saying he is a Thornvale native, he attended the local community college, and that he lives at home with his brother and their cats. Sammie tries to focus on Whittaker and how he's connected and see where he is when the time loop resets. She takes a deep breath and focuses on the pain she felt in the museum. She's able to see another place in another time and sees Whittaker in a hospital room. He is sitting in a chair at his brother's bedside in the hospital room. His brother is not in good shape, hooked up to several machines.

Sammie snaps to herself and passes on what she's seen. They discuss how to face this creature and what to do with Whittaker. They decide to head to the museum to catch Whittaker there. When they get to the museum, they spot Oliver and Elise sitting together on a bench outside. Sammie asks someone to go get Oliver, still trying to avoid Elise. Henry says that he'll go get Elise if Sammie will give him information on the Order. Sammie begrudgingly agrees.

Henry goes over to get Oliver while Sammie heads inside the museum. Elise immediately recognizes Henry from when they met in the hospital when Sammie was injured by the Dybbuk. Oliver tells Elise they'll have to finish their conversation another time while Henry tells Elise to stay put. Elise follows them asking if he's heard from Sammie and Oliver asks if she's also looking for Sammie Overbrook. He then tells Elise that Sammie is the Paranormal Museum. Elise pushes Henry out of the way and into the museum.

Elise storms straight up to Sammie and demands to know what she's doing here. Sammie looks to Henry, who looks to Oliver. Bjorn, realizing that Elise is now in the time loop, tries to redirect them back to the job they need to do. Oliver puts his hand on Elise's shoulder and assures Bjorn they have time for Sammie and Elise to chat. Bjorn reaches up to try and mind wipe Elise to get this situation over with... but it doesn't work. Elise looks confused, she blinks with a strange green energy in her eyes, and asks what happened.

Sammie looks over to see Oliver give her a small smile about this. Sammie asks him what he did to Elise and he denies he's done anything. Henry leans over to say that Oliver is lying. Sammie takes her knife out and holds it at Oliver's throat, demanding to know what he did to her. Oliver promises he didn't do anything to hurt her as his hand reaches for something in his pocket. Bjorn pins Oliver while Henry empties Oliver's pockets. Henry finds a small, oval shaped case. Oliver warns Henry he's not going to want to mess with those. Elise is protesting and questioning all of this in the background, asking if they're mugging Oliver and what's going on.

Sammie tries to identify if the case Henry has found is magical. She can tell it glows with a green energy. She also notices pinpricks of magical energy in various places on Oliver's body and that Elise is glowing with a faint green aura. There is suddenly a loud, guttural roar from inside the museum. Instead of running away from the noise, Elise runs toward it.
