Secrets of Sulphur Springs S3 E2

## Plot

Griffin demands the truth from Sam. Everyone is blaming him for whatever happened to Topher. Is he dead? Savannah can't get out of room 205. She hides in the closet when the twins and Topher check it out. Zoey in particular is way braver and more assertive this season, and I love it. It makes her feel less like a genderbent copy of Wyatt and Topher and more like her own character. That being said, they still all get scared and run away when the hat rack falls over thanks to the actual ghost, just before they can find Savannah in the closet. The plumber decides to keep the crystal for his collection. I'm surprised that Ben and the kids don't recognize it as the same kind of "rock" that brought back the springs. Harper learns from the kids that there's another ghost. It's in room 205 this time. Sam and Griffin go to the hospital. Jess is visiting Topher. He's in a coma. Diandra Lyle's acting is great during this scene. Before they can leave, Griffin is confronted by Jess, who tells him that he won't find forgiveness here, and he shouldn't try to blame a ghost for hurting Topher. Harper was there and saw him push her son through the second floor banister. If he needs to visit someone, he should try his own mother. Sam reveals that Sarah had a mental breakdown a few years ago. She did find help in a facility, but it's bad. It was more of the ghost's handiwork. Griffin finally decides to go back home. There's still hope to stop all of this from happening, but it's back in the present, not here. The kids try to tell the adults that there's a ghost in room 205. They heard voices, and something pushed a hat rack. Ben forbids them from going into the room. Savannah is telling Harper about the evil ghost. Harper tries to take the crystal from the plumber's bag before he leaves, but she has another vision, this time of Topher falling from the second floor with Griffin standing next to him. Because of this, she misses her chance to get the crystal. Luckily, Savannah did it for her. Harper tells her about the vision. It looked like Griffin pushed Topher, but that doesn't make any sense. The crystal won't fit inside the radio. It's bigger than the old one. Savannah uses a hammer to chisel away part of it, and Harper smacks the radio when it still doesn't work. They head to 2024 and reunite with Griffin and Sam at the remains of the burned down hotel. They tell each other what happened on the way back. Sarah has told Ben what she saw when she went into room 205. She didn't think he'd believe her. She didn't believe it herself, but then the kids had a similar experience. They didn't imagine it. Whatever they saw and felt in that room is real. Ben tells Sarah that he believes her. They check out the room again, but nothing happens, and Ben tells her that they can check again tomorrow. If Harper and Griffin can get rid of the ghost in the present, then they can save everyone. They know they can't change the past because of destiny, but maybe they can still change the future, by changing the present, and create a new destiny. They can accomplish anything together. However, immediately after the commercial break, they tell Savannah that they don't need her help. She loves her family and home in the 1960s, but she still wants to help. The others are her family now too. Sam is staying to help Griffin and Harper. This is his unfinished business. He knows that in the end, Savannah always does what's right. However, she goes after him when he heads to the barn, and before Griffin and Harper can go after her, Jess makes them help with the food. Ben told her about the bunker. Harper tells Griffin that he didn't find out about Savannah, the radio, or the portal. Sam tells Savannah that now he knows why he built the time machine: To change the future for the good. The reason he never tries to save his mother is probably because of the whole "the past can't be changed because of destiny" thing. Savannah knows that there's something he's not telling her. Ever since he got back, he's been different. This is dangerous. She has to go back home, for herself and for him, and they hug. When she heads to the bunker though, Wyatt and Zoey see her and follow her to 1962. Zoey put in Sarah's hairpin for protection, like how Wyatt wears his hat. Savannah reunites with her mom. She claims that she just fell asleep in the treehouse. The evil ghost is in the barn, and recognizes the hairpin. Savannah sees the twins. Harper and Griffin check out room 205, but the ghost isn't there. Harper still feels a presence though. Something violent happened here. Where is the ghost now though, and who else is it haunting? How will they figure out who it is if it won't communicate with them like Grace did? It seems to be fixated on Sarah for some reason. It appears in her bedroom when she's alone and scares her, but it disappears when Ben shows up.
