## Episode Summary

Sarah gasps in horror, looking at the mirror. She walks backward before bumping into a lamp, causing it to fall. Wyatt and Zoey rush into the room and ask their mom if she's okay. She looks back at the mirror and sees the writing is gone. The lights start flickering. They run out to the hallway. They see the light above Griffin's room flash and make an odd sound. They all run downstairs. Meanwhile, Ben and Jess stand outside the Dunn residence. He apologizes for yelling at her on the last day of camp. Topher comes outside and gives Jess one of Harper's jackets. Ben gets a call from Sarah. She screams, and Jess looks at Ben, worried.

The police officer tells Sarah that they may have found something in the woods. Zoey picks up her phone from the ground and says that her mom just got a little scared and that he should come over quickly. Griffin and Harper try pushing the hatch door open. It wasn't working, so they agree to go back home and check records if anything happened to Savannah. They walk back to the portal. Harper sees someone with her mom and realizes that he is her father.

Jess and Ben run over to where the police are. They find a shoe-print in the mud and think it may be Harper's from the night before. Topher gives the K-9 Harper's jacket. It runs over to where the hatch is, but before they can do anything about it, Jess gets a text from Harper. They all burst into the Tremont, where they find Harper and Griffin in the back. Harper tells them that they went to Rayville to catch a bus and came back because Griffin talked her out of it.

When driving back home, Harper looks on her phone about the storm of 1960. They suddenly stop. Harper looks over to see that they're at the cemetery. "Topher told me you come here often," Jess implies. They go over to where his tombstone is, and Jess tells her all about Chris. Griffin hears yelling from down the hall. He walks over to his parent's bedroom, where Sarah and Ben are arguing. Sarah tells Ben that they're moving back to Chicago.

Harper decides to get to the school early in the morning. The locked doors stopped her from trying to get in, and before she was able to check the 2nd entrance, the principal stops her. Asking for pictures of the storm of 1960, the principal tells her about microfilm and that she can find it in the library.

Griffin walks over to the table, asking where his father is. Sarah tells him that Ben is out somewhere and then confirmed that they are moving. Meanwhile, Harper looks at the pictures from the storm. In a newspaper article from 1962, Savannah was in the photograph on the front page. After class, she calls Griffin and shows him the picture of Savannah. She asks why he isn't at school, and he tells her that he's moving. Before getting a chance to explain, he hangs up.

Jess gets a call from Sarah, asking if Ben was with her. She tells her that he may be at the old tree house. Wyatt and Zoey come into Griffin's room. "We're on strike," they declare. They tell Griffin that they heard a ghost coming from the old radio in the boarded-up room. Harper walks in, and Griffin gestures the twins to leave. Realizing that Savannah was back in 1962, and the portal only takes them 30 years in the past, they theorize how to control it. Griffin tells Harper that Savannah is still haunting the hotel, even though she is still alive.

Sarah walks over to Ben, who is sitting on a bench near the old tree house. He tells her that he was there the night Savannah went missing, that Ben saw her sneaking out to do the dare Jess gave her, so he followed. They told each other jokes to pass the time. Suddenly, they hear a sound, and Ben takes off, thinking that Savannah did the same. He didn't realize that she stayed.

Griffin and Harper are in the secret room when they hear a buzzing sound coming from one of the radios. They turn it around to see a combination lock in the top right corner. Griffin tries to move it, but it didn't work. Harper touches it slightly, and it starts spinning rapidly. It stops, and they realize that there is one that looks identical to it in the bunker. They run downstairs. Griffin takes it out and unscrews the back to find another lock in the corner. Harper changes it to the code from the one upstairs, and one of the buttons pops out, and they think it's Savannah trying to communicate with them.
