## Episode Summary

As the group of guests revel in the reveal that two of their fallen friends could be revived with the coins they gathered previously, they finally decide on who to revive. Caspian and Vladimir then throw their coins into the fountains of the two they wanted to return and witnessed the return of Gaston and Marinette. As they rejoice at the reunion, the clock from the observatory falls, revealing that they only had two and a half hours left. They then recognize an abandoned asylum as the next location to get the next artifact.

They then arrived at the asylum, entering the courtyard to find a man in a straitjacket. The man, with facial scarring and crazed eyes, then warned them to get away as it was not safe. He then explained that the monster was prowling the asylum for blood, which helps Luke conclude that the man was the mad scientist known as Frankenstein. Frankenstein then reveals to the team that the Wraith that had taken over Salem had died in the walls of the asylum and that he could help them find the artifact concealed inside the walls. The guests then recover the passcode needed to unlock Frankenstein's lock on his straitjacket and then free him before they hear the monster incoming and flee into the asylum. The monster then snatches Valeria and drags her away screaming as they flee to the laboratory.

The guests then arrive in the laboratory and discover that they needed to make a monster of their own to control and defeat the one prowling the asylum. They then split up as Luke then offers his help to help the mad scientist piece together the machine. Luke and Alexander then helped Frankenstein reassemble the machine as Luke explains his father's fascination in humans. Then the Frankenstein arrives in the laboratory, forcing the duo to fight back. However despite Luke and Alexander's fighting methods using acid, rocks and electricity, Alexander is dragged away cussing in rapid French.

Marinette, Savannah and Vladimir return to the courtyard where they started searching for eyeballs when the Frankenstein monster made its appearance and started to attack Vladimir as the girls searched a cardboard box full of jars of eyes. Marinette then attacks the monster and is dragged away while Savannah retrieved a pair of human eyes. Savannah and Vladimir then hurry back to the laboratory. Meanwhile, Gaston, Caspian and Celine are searching the asylum's murky bathroom to find the human heart. Caspian then manages to identity a human heart from a box with a bunch of different sized hearts and retrieves it before the Frankenstein attacks the trio and drags Celine away.

Afterwards, the four not imprisoned returns, where Frankenstein insists on tending to Caspian's wounds from his fight in the bathroom with Savannah. Meanwhile, the caught guests are thrown into a cell where they eventually discover the key and escape with a machine part with assistance from Luke, Gaston and Vladimir. They then escaped back to the laboratory where Frankenstein breaks the news that two males needed to be voted into the next death challenge due to the body being male. They then are forced to vote for a male in the voting stage before Akmal draws Luke and Alexander from the pile of votes. Frankenstein then breaks more bad news as he reveals that the chosen two had to pick a partner who would save them from death. Luke then chooses Savannah and Alexander chooses Valeria as the partners.

Soon after, the chosen four enter their challenge, discovering the Wraith inside a dark basement where their challenge lay in waiting. The boys then sit in the chairs before being tied in straitjackets themselves. The girls are then given a climbing course to trek through to get to a tank full of electric eels, where keys was waiting for them. The girls then search through the tank, trying to avoid the eels in the tanks as they collected keys. The girls then succeed to get all the keys and climb their way back to the boys, the Wraith frightening them all the same. Savannah then succeeds to free her fiancé and the three survivors then watched in tears as Alexander fights back to his final breath. The others then grieve as the Prometheans bring the Daredevil's brain to the laboratory, the others commending Alexander's brave ending.

After Alexander's death, the heartbroken guests then returned to the observatory where Gaston breaks down into tears. Valeria and Savannah then comfort the grieving Fashionista and Akmal passes Alexander's Canadian-French coat to Gaston to keep as a memoir. Gaston then leaves the room as Frankenstein activates the machine. Then the monster they had created rises, with similar traits to their fallen ally, and fights back against the monster, defeating it once and for all before they fall over and die, proving Alexander's heroism through their blood. Frankenstein then passes them the ninth artifact, an electroshock helmet, before the guests then flee the area. After the battle, Savannah then goes to find Gaston, comforting him before Valeria and Marinette convinces Gaston to come back with them, the Fashionista going as he grieved his boyfriend's death.

After they returned to the observatory, Valeria then whispered prayers to Alexander as she then placed the next artifact onto the shelves. Shortly after, a green fog appeared across the observatory as crashing waves and bubbling swamp goo was heard... the swamp monster had arrived in Salem.
