## Episode Summary

Separated by Theodosia and her hounds, Vladimir, Gaston and the Scroll end up in the isolated village where they manage to create a fire that attracts the others to where they were, despite the rolling storm, thunder and lightning clashing. The hounds then start to find them, the group fighting back as they got back together, one by one. After they defeat the wave of hounds, they then extinguish the flames and hurry back to the observatory, where they witness their second safehouse going up in flames. The group then hurries to salvage their artifacts... to see none of them in the burning building. They then learn that Theodosia had stolen the artifacts thanks to Akmal spilling the location after she had threatened the guests' lives.

The Scroll then suggests that the group head to the asylum to face personal traumas and pasts in order to find the chamber where the good spirit of Theodosia was caged away by the Wraith. They then hurry to the asylum, where they are required to face their pasts and traumas, overcoming them to receive a token to burn in order to unlock the chamber. While the guests face their traumas, the others are tasked with completing a light puzzle the consists of piecing the gems they find into lights and reflecting the lights with mirrors to create a single magical fire to burn the tokens in. They also fight off the hounds that had found them in the courtyard.

Vladimir faces his past in Russia when he killed the mafia boss's daughter as she was being a brat, and then the boss when he was forced to confess before he fled. Marinette faces her past when she was kidnapped by a man who was exposed by Marinette's father for criminal actions. Savannah then murders her abusive grandmother after seeing her beat her sister. Gaston faces his bullies as they bullied him for being feminine in personality. Valeria faces the accusations of the deaths of Salem's citizens from her father, finally letting go of her old life. Caspian then watches his friends and his beloved die before his eyes, before he then stands for himself, refusing to let the grief overcome him. Finally, Luke faces his demons of a family, who picks on him for his choice of career and bisexuality, before Luke moves on.

After all the traumas are faced, the seven then throw their tokens into the magical fire, soon revealing a key. The door to the good Theodosia's chamber then reveals itself, before Marinette then shakily puts the key into the keyhole, unlocking it. They then open the door to see a body that looked like Theodosia, only blackened and dying. The guests then enter the chamber and watch the good spirit of Theodosia then die before their eyes. Then the door slams shut, the room feeling like its moving as the evil Theodosia then teleports them to the Blackwood manor. Theodosia is then revealed to be holding a bloodied Akmal hostage. Theodosia then reveals that her good spirit was weak before Akmal pleaded Theodosia to allow them one last chance to fight before they watched Salem crumble, knowing that they could stop Theodosia if they succeeded in getting the artifacts back from her.

Theodosia then relents, and allows them to fight one last challenge, all seven being automatically put into the challenge. They then must face five different fears, while looking for their coins to pay the Keeper their safe passage to survival. They then are put through the fears of the dark, spiders, heights, clowns and death itself. Valeria then flees the challenge first, followed by Caspian, Luke and Vladimir's coins, and finally Savannah's before the Keeper then shuts the final door on the final two, as Gaston are chased and devoured alive before Marinette is crushed to death by the challenge room's walls. The grief and anger then fuels the final artifact of the night, finally releasing the Wraith from his trapped state. Theodosia and Akaml then vanish away, before the final five entered the opening tunnels, into the eye of the storm in the Wraith's hive.

They then arrive at an area, barred off so the guests can't enter the area where lakes and statues of the monsters and alive guests surrounded a forming portal as Theodosia awaited her father's return. Despite the guests trying to wound and kill Theodosia, the evil woman then spills the blood of Akmal Prasetyo, his throat spilling blood and his eyes going blank and cold. The portal then began to open, a decomposed hand then coming out, before the rest of the Wraith arises from Hell. Caspian then swears to kill both of them, which leads the Wraith to use his magic to drag Caspian to him, before the villain possesses the Marksman. The Wraith then laughs, saying that the power of one more guest can bring on the wave of power that would destroy Salem, and then the world. Despite Theodosia's uncertainty due to her belief that they had enough power, she agrees with her father.

However before Theodosia can do anything, a gunshot rings out, a statue shattering into pieces, the end nearing...

And all goes black.
