Season 2 - Episode 17: A Wolf in Sammie's Clothing

## Synopsis

Sammie, in the body of the dullahan, gets a feel for her newly constructed body. She doesn't want to blow her cover and plays along with the warlock's requests, that is until they reach a park and the warlock asks her to kill a woman on the beach. When the warlock hands her a bone whip, Sammie strikes at the warlock instead. Bjorn and Henry don't realize that Sammie's consciousness has been forced into the body of the dullahan as the Sammie they are with seems to come to and act normal, saying she has a splitting headache and her memory is a bit foggy. After talking with her about what they've seen, they check out some hotels to try and find the warlock. On East, they find a hotel that has security footage of the warlock walking to one of the rooms.

## Episode Description

Sammie screwed up. Let's be honest about it. And now she's in an impossible situation. But hey, at least she knows it.

## Key Events

* Bjorn and Henry are unaware that Sammie's consciousness is inside the body of the dullahan as Sammie seems to come to and act like her normal self.
* The Sammie that is with Bjorn and Henry tells them she thinks she saw a hotel with blue carpet and they narrow it down to two hotels. At the hotel on East, a receptionist shows them security footage of the man, confirming they're in the right place.
* Sammie, in the body of the dullahan, follows the warlock to a secluded park where he tells her to kill the woman on the beach. When he hands her the bone whip, she strikes at him.

## Summary

Sammie feels as though her mind slows down as she enters the dullahan. She merges with the creature and everything speeds back up. She's aware that she doesn't have a heart beat and that all the parts of her body are biologically independent of each other, each one having a different feel to them. The warlock asks her what just happened and Sammie asks who he is. He says it doesn't matter who he is, that he's her master, and then again asks what happens. Sammie chooses her answer carefully, saying she was somewhere else and now she was here. The warlock reasons someone was messing with the circle, trying to summon her. Then tells her to stay put as he works on something. He is working at his desk, which is covered in tomes, scrolls, and modern paper.

Bjorn and Henry see the green light of the witch circle die down and Sammie pitch forward. Henry rushes over to untie her, but Bjorn stops him. He starts to shake Sammie, trying to wake her up. Sammie groans and lifts her head up. She coughs and asks what happened. Bjorn and Henry tell her what they saw and then ask Sammie what happened to her. She says she's having a hard time remembering, that she tried to connect with the dullahan and find the warlock, but there was some kind of feedback and now her head hurts. Bjorn asks what she saw. Sammie says she thinks she was in a hotel room with blue carpet, that the man noticed her and must have kicked her out. Bjorn starts to untie Sammie. He says they'll just have to start looking for hotels with blue carpet, but he'll call Holland to ask her if she has any leads. Holland suggests they check online at hotel listings for some pictures

Henry begins to look through hotels and finds two options - one in West and one in East. Bjorn asks if one looks familiar and Sammie says she's not sure, that the memory is so foggy she can't tell. Sammie suggests they split up, she says she can grab Oliver and go to the hotel on West while they head over to the one on East. Bjorn disagrees, saying they shouldn't split up right now and Sammie agrees that he's probably right. They decide to hit the hotel on West on there way to the ferry to head over to East.

Sammie, in the body of the dullahan, looks for anything in the room that she might be able to use to contact Bjorn and Henry. She sees a cell phone on the couch. She wonders if she can overpower the man, eyeing the bone whip that is sitting beside the warlock. She walks over to the whip and the warlock asks what she's doing. Sammie says that the whip is hers, but the man tells her she doesn't need it right now and to sit back down. He then says he'll have something for her soon, something to start off their 'little project' and if she's ready to head out now. Sammie nods. The warlock puts on a long cloak, grabs the bone whip, and leads her outside.

Sammie and the warlock walk down the dark street. Sammie realizes the warlock has dressed the dullahan in large, oversized baggy clothes to keep its appearance concealed in public. He tells her to put her hood up and she does so. Sammie looks over and sees a sign in the yard that says 'Rose Bed and Breakfast.'

Bjorn, Henry, and Sammie arrive at the hotel on West. Bjorn approaches the receptionist at the front desk and flips his FBI badge. He gives a description of the man and asks them if they've seen a man that fits that description. They shake their head, saying they haven't seen anyone like that. Bjorn turns to leave and Sammie suggests they look at the security footage. Bjorn says they had a pretty good lead he was heading to East, so he thinks they should just get to the other hotel as quickly as possible. They then head for the ferry.

On the ferry, Sammie is sitting with her head in her hands. Bjorn approaches and asks if she's okay and Sammie explains that the last encounter has left her with a splitting headache. Bjorn points out that those headaches have been going on a lot lately and asks if she's up for the rest of the case. Sammie says she is and she'll let them know if something is wrong. They leave the ferry and head for the other hotel, East Thornvale Inn and Suites. Bjorn goes through the same routine, showing his badge and giving a description of the man. The receptionist says that she has seen someone that fits that description but doesn't know what room he's staying in. Sammie again suggests that they check the security footage. The woman say she's not supposed to show them the footage without a warrant. Bjorn tells her that they are trying to catch a serial killer and the woman finally agrees.

The receptionist takes them back to their security office and Bjorn tells her to go back to when she first remembers seeing the man that fits their description. The receptionist pauses the video on a tall man. Sammie agrees that it looks like the same person she saw. They head back to the front desk to try and find a name to match the person, now knowing the date and time he checked in at.

Sammie, in the dullahan's body, is sitting on a park bench next to the warlock. They are looking down a hill at the beach. The warlock talks about how this sunset must be different than what he's used to, saying everything was in 'shades of red' where she came from. Sammie shrugs. He then asks her if she likes her body and Sammie rolls her shoulders and says it'll do, playing along. The warlock points out a lone woman left on the shore. He says she'll do nicely for the base of his next project. He asks Sammie if she's ready to get to work and Sammie stands. She silently holds her hand out for the whip.

The warlock pulls out the whip and hands it to her. He smiles up at her. Sammie immediately draws back to strike the warlock with the bone whip.
