Plot summary
A disgruntled Jack is sent to join the investigation at the barn where the clothing was discovered. After wasting time, he shows up late to the empty barn, where he is attacked by an unseen apparition. Over the following days, he develops strange marks on his neck, and his behavior grows increasingly erratic. Ralph goes to Howie Salomon and Alec Pelley with the information he has gathered on the van and the Maitlands' trip to Dayton. They contact eccentric savant investigator Holly Gibney to backtrack Terry's movements during the trip.
Meanwhile, Jessa Maitland convinces her mother (Glory) to let Ralph visit so she can relay a message. Jessa tells Ralph that the man she is seeing has a message for Ralph: "Stop, or something bad will happen." When Ralph tries to probe further, Glory refuses to let Ralph talk to Jessa anymore. Ralph's wife is able to convince Glory to let her help with Jessa's "nightmares." Jessa tells all of them that the man she is seeing is transforming every time she sees him and that Ralph should be the one that is scared.
As part of her investigation, Holly Gibney attempts to speak with Terry's father at his nursing home. During the visit, Holly discovers that a male nurse at the institution was convicted of murdering two young girls around the time of the visit. The nurse is shown in prison concurrently, where he commits suicide to avoid being killed by another inmate.
