## Series

Pilot

Cassie had a vision of a little boy inside a freezer on the beach, that asked her to help his mother as she wouldn't wake up. On a medical slab was the body of a dead woman, who suddenly looked at Cassie with gouged out eyes.

Tom and Damien discover the body of a woman who was killed similarly but had no children. After investigating further, they learned that the killer was trying to trick them into believing Shannon’s death was at a different time. They initially turned to her ex-boyfriend but the only thing he was guilty of was cheating on Shannon. With the help of Cassie, Tom and Damien learn that the real murderer is a faux-coroner, James Stark, who assisted in solving the case. James had witnessed his mother's gruesome torture and murder at the hands of a serial killer, Ed Roven. The trauma caused him to lack control and, in an attempt to regain that control, murdered Shannon.

The Devil's Refugee

Monsters and Angels

At work, Cassie sees a vision of Waterman and a woman she doesn’t recognize talking by the tables. He admires her hair then snaps her neck. He turns to Cassie and eerily says, “*Hello, Cottontail.*” Cassie tells Tom what she saw, and they soon discover Waterman had escaped prison. His escape is shown on a surveillance video from the hospital. He was sent to the hospital after feigning a heart attack upon ingesting a pill. They track the car that visited him last to a woman who Waterman dated, who is unaware of how dangerous he truly is. They go to her apartment, which she shares with her mother, only to discover that she has a secondary apartment.

Upon arriving at the apartment, Tom and Damien find Waterman's girlfriend, who thankfully was only put to sleep and isn't dead. She informs them that Waterman somehow knew the police were coming and attacked her to slow them down and is now on the run. She also explains that Mark had been knowing things lately - things that he shouldn't know. Tom then realized that Ed Roven was guiding Waterman and helped him escape. Tom then puts a police car outside Cassie's house.

As Tom and Damien try to track Waterman, Roven whispered to the detective outside Cassie’s house and convinced him to leave. Now alone, Cassie sensed something was off but didn't pay much attention to it. She went downstairs and suddenly turned around, coming face to face with Waterman. While she initially fought him off, he overpowered her in her bedroom. He grabbed her by the neck and attempted to strangle her on the bed. Cassie was seconds away from passing out when she reached her taser and disabled him. With a swift kick, she knocked him through her window, and he landed on the concrete below and was dead upon impact.

Later, in a confrontation with Cassie, Ed warned her that he would find someone else to take Waterman's place.
