Complete story — includes the ending
After revealing to Nora that he speaks to Patti, Kevin awakens to find Nora has left with Mary and Lily. This upsets Jill, who assumes that Kevin has ruined his relationship with Nora just as he did his marriage to Laurie. Michael witnesses Kevin talking to Patti and says his grandfather Virgil can help him with his problem. Kevin met Virgil before – the night he moved to Miracle – and they have already discussed his problem (an encounter Kevin cannot remember). According to Virgil, Patti is Kevin's 'adversary', and he must 'vanquish' her by killing himself and defeating her in the realm of the undead. Virgil already told Kevin this information, the latter tried to kill himself and was foiled by the earthquake draining the lake he had jumped into. Laurie arrives in Miracle, claiming that Tom has run away. Realizing that he is becoming psychotic, Kevin decides to carry through with Virgil's plan. Kevin returns to Virgil and, despite Patti's protests, kills himself by drinking poison. Rather than administering an antidote as promised, Virgil shoots himself in the face.
