Secrets of Sulphur Springs S3 E7

## Plot

Just like Judge Walker being killed by his wife, there was at least one minor hint in episode 5 that Mrs. Walker and Sarah were linked in some way before this reveal, when Griffin compared her ointment to something his mom used on him when he had chickenpox. Ruby is confused when Griffin calls Mrs. Walker his mom, because she doesn't have any kids. They claim that there's just a resemblance, which is technically true. She also can't believe that ghosts are real, but they claim that they're taking care of it. Again, that's technically true. Meanwhile, the twins and Topher noticed how adult Ruby reacted to the hair comb. It was like she'd seen it somewhere before, like she was remembering something, or someone. Ruby looks at a family photo album and talks to her mother. She promised her that she'd never go back to the Tremont, but she doesn't have a choice now. In 1947, Daisy tells her to forget whatever Harper and Savannah are telling her. They have to leave town right away for their own safety, even though they both love Sulphur Springs. It didn't love them back. Harper and Savannah tell Daisy that they didn't tell Ruby about time travel, but she told them what happened in room 205. Daisy reveals that Mrs. Walker didn't grab the vase. It just appeared in her hand, like someone put it there. She thinks it was her mother's doing, because her grandchild was in trouble. The kids need to leave now. Mrs. Walker catches Griffin looking in her room, and Daisy bails him out. She gives Winnifred a train ticket to Chicago. I'd rather not think about what happened to the body. The adults tell the kids that they're thinking about selling the hotel, but then Ruby shows up to help. The others get back to 2020. Mrs. Walker and Sarah have to be related somehow, like how Harper and Daisy looked exactly alike. When Griffin did a family tree project for his history class last year, everyone from his mom's side of the family was from Chicago. It's possible that his mom is hiding something, but why would she do that? Savannah can't bring herself to tell the twins and Topher what happened to the judge, so they decide to talk to Sam. Ruby is going to try and contact the ghost and convince it to leave. Griffin and Harper show up. We don't know if Ruby recognizes them or realizes that they're the same people she met 73 years ago (damn, she's old), but when she tells them who she is, they connect the dots. It turns out that Daisy and Mrs. Walker put the judge's body in the barn somewhere. Sam realizes that his sister moved up north to protect her daughter, Ruby. The kids just met someone with that name at a house down by the swamp. Sam knows that house. It's where his family moved after the judge stole their land. He can't believe Ruby came back after all these years. The twins and Topher go back to the hotel. Ruby takes the hair comb and gives it back to Sarah. To keep the kids safe, she orders them to leave and not return until morning. This time, they'll be sleeping over at the Dunn house, not that any of them will be able to sleep. Sarah reveals to Griffin that her maternal grandmother didn't always live in Chicago, but she never talked about her past before she came there. He tells the others in the barn. Mrs. Walker was his great grandmother. The judge hates Sarah and the rest of the Campbells because they're related to the person who killed him. Sam is staying to work on the radio. He's fine-tuning the dials so a user can travel back (or forward) to a specific point in time, like an actual date, although it's probably not so specific that you could narrow it down to an exact time like Doc Brown's DeLorean. He feels like the kids are gonna need it. Harper suddenly has a vision of Sarah at the Tremont. She's in danger. Ruby tells the adults that they have to stay silent no matter what happens, and reveals that Sarah's grandmother ended the ghost's life upstairs in room 205. The ghost appears. The kids are biking to the Tremont as fast as they can. How did they get an extra bike for Savannah? Unfortunately, they're too late. Harper's vision comes true when Sarah yells at the ghost to get back, stay away, leave her alone, etc. This is actually the first time that one of Harper's visions has come true. The ghost lifts Sarah into the air and throws a table at Ben when he tries to interfere. Before Ruby can throw a vase at the judge, he shatters it, and Sarah falls. She's unresponsive.
