- Wait!
- We have to keep moving, Kins.
We can't just leave Bode here.
We're gonna come back for him.
It just isn't safe right now, okay?
We have to keep going.
What was that, Mom?
The light from behind the Black Door.
Why would it come from Keyhouse?
I I
I
Mom?
Tyler, what are you doing?
No!
Tyler!
Mom! Mom! Are you okay?
Yeah. I'm f-fine.
Are you sure?
Open the door! Please!
Get in!
- Are you hurt? What's happening?
- Where's Bode?
Just drive.
Why isn't it working?
These are not all the keys.
The Lockes kept one.
I can feel its absence.
Hunt them down. Find it.
They could be anywhere.
Start with the historian.
He knows the mother.
He'll show you where they've gone
if you persuade him.
Chamberlin, Gideon.
He's going after my family.
I need to warn them!
I'm sorry, Bode, but you're confined
to Keyhouse grounds.
But I can't just stay around
and do nothing.
There are still things you can do
even when you're a ghost.
What are you doing here?
When I was in your house,
the cops showed up.
I tried to flee, but I didn't realize
I was running through the Ghost Door.
When it closed
You got cut off from your body.
Just like you did.
Don't try and pretend we're the same.
I know that you hate me,
and I'm the last person
that you wanna talk to,
but Dodge did this to both of us.
No!
You killed my dad.
- Now leave me alone!
- I can help.
I don't wanna see your face ever again.
Go! Now!
I would never defend the things
that Sam did.
But I want you to know
he has sought to atone.
He's aided your family before,
though you never knew it.
What are you talking about?
Ask him.
- Thanks for the change of clothes.
- Of course.
Hi.
- Hey. I didn't wake you, did I?
- No.
No, I was awake.
Oh, great. Well, I just, um
Hadn't spoken since the dinner.
Just calling to see how
Bode's stomach issue resolved.
Oh, um, yeah. Yeah, he's fine.
That's great.
Not exactly surprising, right?
Uh, so I was thinking
it's it's possible that we may have
included the kids too soon.
I'm not saying that you and I
should do anything different.
I think you and I should keep
doing exactly what we're doing.
Just maybe keep the kids separate.
At least for the time being.
Uh, I could come over there
and talk about this in person if you want.
No, uh, I'm not even there. I'm
I'm at Ellie's having coffee,
so, uh, I can't really talk.
Oh, okay. Um, sure.
Yeah, you get back to it, then.
Yeah, I I should.
Give me a call later, okay?
Yeah, okay. Bye.
Bye.
I hate having to lie to him.
What other choice is there?
This must be how Rendell felt.
He must have been so lonely.
Except for, in your case,
you're not alone.
If we could get the Timeshift Key back,
maybe we could change
No.
No, th-that's not how it works.
It's too unpredictable.
It could just as easily make things worse.
The only answer is
to somehow get the Ghost Key back.
It's the only way we can save Bode.
Then we can figure out
a way to stop Gideon.
So, we're just gonna lift the Ghost Key
off this super powerful demon?
How's that gonna work?
I don't know. Let's figure something out.
Without us having any keys or any magic
Do you have anything to contribute,
or are you here to shoot things down?
I'm just trying to
You know what? Forget it.
Diversion is a common military tactic,
using a ruse
to shift the enemy's attention.
And how would that work?
We find a way to distract Gideon,
then get the Ghost Key back.
Even if we get the Ghost Key
and open the door,
it doesn't mean anything
if Bode doesn't have a body to fly into.
So, what if he did have a body?
But whose body?
How'd your talk with Nina go?
Shouldn't you be reading?
Aren't we going over to Keyhouse?
Nina is at Ellie's house.
So, no, we're not.
You know,
I've been calling and texting Bode.
No response.
Maybe he needs some space.
Maybe they both do.
What?
Nothing.
Go ahead, read.
Sorry, Meeting House doesn't open
Sorry. Sorry, you have to leave, sir.
You need to tell me
where I can find Nina Locke.
- I don't have any idea.
- Bollocks.
Tell me, or I'll shoot you in the gut
and let you bleed out.
What do
What do you want with Nina Locke?
She's got a key I need.
A key, huh? Wha To what?
Maybe I can help.
Enough.
I'm going to ask you one last time.
Where is she?
Okay, enough. Stay right there.
Don't move!
Stop, or I'll shoot.
Fire away.
Last warning.
Sorry.
I can't be harmed.
You, on the other hand
have no such protection.
Dad!
Well. Look at this.
That's your father, huh?
Help! Dad!
He's still alive.
If you can take me to your friends,
he'll stay that way.
- Yeah?
- Okay, okay!
Good.
And you,
if I see any sign
you've called the local constabulary,
your daughter dies.
Help! Help!
- Jamie!
- Dad! Someone!
Those don't belong to you,
and we're gonna get them back.
Hey, my journal!
I liked it better
when I thought you were dead.
Yeah, sometimes I wish I were.
Just because I'm talking to you
doesn't mean I forgive you.
I don't expect you to.
Dodge may have used me,
but I still made my choices.
I can't change what happened,
but I am so sorry that I did what I did.
I'm sorry, Bode.
Chamberlin told me
that you helped my family.
I led Kinsey to the Angel Key.
How?
By using the birds. They, um
They can sense us.
I figured out a way to guide them.
Birds?
You mean like sparrows?
Show me how you did it.
Not bad.
High praise.
I figured it would be
the first thing Bode would do
to try and find the best way inside.
He always loved a "tactical map."
Hey, I'm sorry
for snapping at you earlier.
The last time I talked to Bode,
actual Bode
I was kind of a jerk to him.
So if I don't get to talk to him again
He'll definitely spend
ghost eternity hating you.
We'll work this out.
But don't let your guilt get in the way.
It never helps things.
This feels risky.
We need weapons.
Come with me.
The owners I'm renting from
are carpenters.
I mean, it's not demon strength.
At least it'll help
level the playing field.
Josh, it's not a great time.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down.
We're gonna get her back.
You have my word.
Yes. Yes.
Okay. See you soon.
Bolton has Jamie.
Josh thinks he's on his way here
now with her.
What? Why?
Josh said he he mentioned something
about needing a key?
Are there other keys out there
we haven't found?
Not that I know of.
Okay, either way,
Bolton's gonna be here any minute.
This is our way in.
If we can play this right,
we can use the promise of this key
to get Bolton to willingly walk
right through the Ghost Door.
So Bode takes over Bolton's body?
Temporarily, until we stop Gideon.
It's worth a shot, right?
Whoa! Whoa! What the hell?
You.
- Give me the key.
- I'm sorry. I I had to tell him.
- Shut up!
- No, don't!
There's another key.
Hand it over, or she dies.
We don't have it.
- I don't believe you.
- No, he's telling the truth.
Find me rope.
Wait.
What is it now?
Let her go.
I'm the one with the gun.
She doesn't know anything.
She can't help you.
You needed her to find us, and you did.
Let her go.
You've served your purpose.
Go.
Now move.
Jamie!
Nina! My dad, he he got shot,
and then he was on the floor
It's okay. I just talked to him.
He's on his way over here now.
Are you sure you're okay?
Can I make you a sandwich or something?
Where's Bode?
Um, that's
that's a little bit hard to explain.
Dodge stole his body.
He's stuck at Keyhouse as a ghost.
Oh shit. Sorry, but that's messed up.
Don't worry.
We've got a plan to bring him back.
So Bode hasn't actually been Bode.
That makes total sense.
Oh.
Jamie? Jamie?
- Josh, your shoulder.
- Dad!
Hey.
Hey, are you okay? Did he hurt you?
I'm okay, but what about you?
You're bleeding a lot.
I'm okay. I just need
I just need to sit down.
Josh! Josh!
Go! Fly!
The birds feel your energy.
Try to stay calm,
and they'll do what you want them to.
There you go! You're doing it!
Mrs. Bennett?
Oh, uh, no, he's not my
We're friends.
Good news. He's stable and stitched up.
You can see him now.
Hey.
- Careful. Careful, careful.
- Oh, sorry.
I'm just so happy you're okay.
Yeah. I told them I was cleaning a gun
at the Meeting House,
and it accidentally went off.
Maybe you can tell me the truth.
What the hell happened today?
I'm so sorry you and Jamie
are caught up in all this.
Caught up in what?
Hey, does this have something to do
with the break-in at the wedding?
Nina, if Jamie and I are in danger
I wanna tell you everything.
But, um
you're gonna think I'm crazy.
Try me.
You know that thing
you were chasing last year?
A "doorway to the beyond"?
Yeah.
It actually exists.
But it it's not what you thought it was.
It's not a place where our loved ones are.
It's something dark and awful.
This man, Gideon,
he somehow opened a portal to that world.
As in Frederick Gideon,
my ancestor who found the doorway?
He's not exactly your ancestor anymore.
He's trying to destroy everything.
We've been trying to stop him
because we, the Lockes
we've been tangled up in this for years.
Okay.
So this is
where you decide I'm crazy.
Well, last year,
I thought I'd lost it.
I don't I don't understand
a lot of what you're saying.
But I believe you.
Oh.
Home sweet home.
Bode?
I'm here! I knew you guys would come back.
Go wait outside the Ghost Door.
We're gonna get you a new body.
Him? No way. I've got a better idea.
Quit dawdling.
- They're releasing Josh.
- Oh, that's great.
Rufus is walking Jamie
back to their apartment.
She's gonna be so relieved
to hear that he's okay.
And have you heard from Tyler or Kinsey?
I don't think we should wait.
Let's go.
Tyler and Kinsey Locke.
Pride of your forebears
and thieves just like them.
Thieves?
This is our house.
Those keys belong to us.
Those keys that you speak of,
they are my kind.
You do not own my kin.
And one of my kin remains unaccounted for.
Hmm?
So,
why don't you just spare your family?
The key's in the graveyard.
But you can only get it
by entering the Ghost Plane.
You won't be able to find it otherwise.
Why would you hide it there?
Because it was the safest place for it.
You can only access it with the Ghost Key.
Through the door in the winter study.
Bolton,
he'll go and fetch it.
We're going to Keyhouse.
I want to help.
No, Rufus.
You stay there with Jamie.
I'll call you when it's safe.
I love you.
Does your dad have a bike?
What are his instructions?
Ah.
You fly out this way, past the well house.
About a quarter of a mile away,
there's a graveyard.
- The key's there.
- Where?
In a coffin,
buried with one of our ancestors.
It's in an unmarked grave
in the second row,
next to Ben Locke's headstone.
Can't we just dig it up?
No. No, uh
We hid it when we were ghosts.
So So you can only see it
in the Ghost Plane.
Bode?
Will I encounter other ghosts?
Just get me my key!
And hurry up!
You better hope that he finds it.
Who's this?
What is Bode waiting for?
Bolton's body is right there.
Forget Bolton. Bode has a better plan.
- We just need to get the Animal Key.
- What?
Just trust me.
You.
You've been to my world.
That's right. I escaped.
Not for long.
You sure about that?
Mom?
Hey, how's it going?
Enough! You cannot match me!
Here.
No!
- Hurry!
- What's going on?
You'll see.
Now!
Look at that! It worked.
Bode! Oh!
A simple death would be far too easy.
Rufus!
Tell me where the final key is.
No last tricks. No more lies.
Stop. Don't.
I know where the key is.
- What?
- You do?
Let Rufus go, and it's yours.
They lied about the key, sir.
You're worse than a broken clock.
Just tie them up!
The key is inside the head
of an old classmate.
I put it there for safekeeping
back in high school.
Who?
Gordie Shaw.
If you're lying, your son dies.
I'm telling the truth.
Yes. I believe you are.
And you're going to take me to it.
Lock them in the pantry.
If I'm not back in an hour with the key
kill them all.
Mom.
Let's go.
Your mom's a badass.
She's going to be okay.
Why would the Keepers hide a key
inside Gordie's head?
I don't know,
but I think she was telling the truth.
What do you think it does?
It's okay. I'm
I'm not Bolton.
It's me.
Sam.
- Wait!
- We have to keep moving, Kins.
We can't just leave Bode here.
We're gonna come back for him.
It just isn't safe right now, okay?
We have to keep going.
What was that, Mom?
The light from behind the Black Door.
Why would it come from Keyhouse?
I I
I
Mom?
Tyler, what are you doing?
No!
Tyler!

Get in!
- Are you hurt? What's happening?
- Where's Bode?

I led Kinsey to the Angel Key.
How?
By using the birds. They, um
They can sense us.
I figured out a way to guide them.
Birds?
You mean like sparrows?
Show me how you did it.
Not bad.
High praise.
I figured it would be
the first thing Bode would do
to try and find the best way inside.

- What?
Just trust me.
You.
You've been to my world.
That's right. I escaped.
Not for long.
You sure about that?
Mom?
Hey, how's it going?
Enough! You cannot match me!
Here.
No!
- Hurry!
- What's going on?
You'll see.
Now!
Look at that! It worked.
Bode! Oh!
A simple death would be far too easy.
Rufus!
Tell me where the final key is.
No last tricks. No more lies.
Stop. Don't.
I know where the key is.
- What?
- You do?
Let Rufus go, and it's yours.
They lied about the key, sir.
You're worse than a broken clock.
Just tie them up!
The key is inside the head
of an old classmate.
I put it there for safekeeping
back in high school.
Who?
Gordie Shaw.
If you're lying, your son dies.
I'm telling the truth.
Yes. I believe you are.
And you're going to take me to it.
Lock them in the pantry.
If I'm not back in an hour with the key
kill them all.
Mom.
Let's go.
Your mom's a badass.
She's going to be okay.
Why would the Keepers hide a key
inside Gordie's head?
I don't know,
but I think she was telling the truth.
What do you think it does?
It's okay. I'm
I'm not Bolton.
It's me.
Sam.
