Season 2 - Episode 10: Can't Hack It

## Synopsis

Bjorn, Henry, Sammie, and Oliver discover that the creature is a poltergeist that seems to be able to possess technology. It goes from Chief Hanson's computer to Henry's phone before they lose it. They surmise that because poltergeists are typically linked to one person, it must be connected to the wife of the man who was killed. They head to the water treatment plant, thinking it may go after the other woman involved in the affair, before realizing it is following behind them in a police car.

## Episode Description

## Summary

Chief Hanson escorts Sammie to the morgue so Judson can give some medical attention to Sammie's nose bleed. Once the Chief sees that Judson is tending to her, he leaves the room. Sammie then tells Judson the nose bleed is from magic and Judson offers to run some medical tests for her if she needs it. Sammie turns down the offer for now.

In the office, Henry asks whatever is in the computer what it wants. The computer pulls up a word document and asks 'why do you want to know?' Henry begins to type that they might be able to help it. The creature responds with, "Protection. Revenge." and then the computer goes black again. Bjorn and Henry quickly back away from the computer as Chief Hanson walks back in. The Chief asks what he can help them with and Bjorn says they were just stopping in to look into the car situation. The Chief tells them to talk with Holland or one of the other officers and tells them he needs to get back to work.

Bjorn, Henry, and Oliver leave the Chief's office and head over to the morgue to talk with Sammie. Sammie's nose has finally stopped bleeding. She's left with a headache but is otherwise alright. She's cleaning the blood from her face when they walk back in. They catch Sammie up to speed about what happened and try to come up with a plan. Sammie suggests they go back to the office and mind wipe Chief Hanson to knock him out and then do whatever they need to do to the computer to make it safe.

They walk back into the office and Sammie says she wanted to introduce herself to Chief Hanson. As she shakes his hand, she reaches up and mind wipes him. Bjorn and Henry lean him back in his office chair to make it look like he fell asleep. Sammie looks at the Chief's computer and realizes the creature isn't in the device anymore. Henry takes out his phone to call Stanley and realizes the creature is now in his phone. The creature is going through all of Henry's social media accounts and contact information, seemingly gathering information on him. Henry tries to ask it who its seeking revenge against, but it doesn't respond. Henry again tries to ask it if it has a name, but it doesn't respond.

Sammie looks at the phone for any magical auras, but doesn't see anything. She sees the creature has left the phone and tries to figure out where it went. Sammie follows its trail outside of the police station and then gets lost. The creature seems to know that Sammie can follow it and has left many trails behind by jumping in and out of cars and other objects to confuse her. Sammie explains what's going on and Bjorn suggests they talk somewhere more private.

Once on a quieter side street, Henry calls Stanley to let him know what's going on. Stanley says that it sounds like a poltergeist, but he's never heard of one that can enter technology. He explains that normally poltergeists are usually connected to a specific person, haunting them. He asks if it's connected to someone at the police stations and Bjorn disagrees, saying he thinks its attached to the family that owned the car. He asks Stanley if they think this creature is attached to the wife of the husband that was killed, how they get rid of it. Stanley says he's not sure, but he'll do some research.

The crew discusses their options and who they think the next target is. They decide that the other woman involved in the affair is likely who the poltergeist will go after next if it is attached to the wife and is seeking revenge. They split up into two separate vehicles and head to the water treatment plant. Bjorn gets in his own vehicle and Sammie, Oliver, and Henry get into Sammie's Jeep.

Henry leans up to try and talk as privately as he can with Sammie, ignoring Oliver. Henry says that he said something he 'shouldn't have' to someone at school and then tried to apologize and made it worse. He mentions that this person is a girl, Sammie questions him on it, and Henry asks what that has to do with anything. Before Sammie can respond, she hears a police siren behind her. Sammie looks into her rearview mirror and sees a police car behind them. Henry turns in his seat to get a good look at the cop car and sees that no one is driving it.
