The GopherTec power plant is on high alert, and the culprit may just have a suspiciously familiar set of abilities. And an equally suspicious set of fangs. To stop the mystery culprit, our heroes will have to hit the streets. But first, they'll have to escape the LOCKDOWN.

The hunters head to GopherTec's hydroelectric dam to investigate its unsettling connection with Bolera. But their tour may leave them with more questions than before. And like Science Man, we applaud their curiosity.

In Broken River, MN, all roads lead to Gophertec's hydroelectric plant, Silver Sands. The facility might also be at the center of the mysteries plaguing our heroes. Or at the very least, it's a GREAT big building with a WHOLE lot of secrets, and isn't that the same thing when you think about it?

Let's go, Grandpa—I mean Dad! It's a bit of an awkward family reunion when Sutton finds herself face-to-face with her twin brother this episode. I'm sure she'll come up with a convincing lie to get out of it though. Right?

When a sea monster crashes the boat parade, the whole town starts freaking out—except our heroes. Turns out, when you spend enough time in an alternate universe, you get used to this sort of thing. But this time, they might not be able to stop it alone.

It's time for Sutton to come clean about her vampiric diet. I'm sure she'll be totally transparent. Just like Jack is totally NOT mad about Sutton attacking a customer at her job! 👀

Curiosity has its dangers, as Jack investigates some of the town's curious characters, Sutton tries to avoid being investigated herself, and Robert takes Nathaniel into a Bolera that's getting more and more unpredictable. Things are changing, and only time will tell if it's for the better.

The #BrindlewoodBay Harvest Festival is in full swing. When the beloved Dimples the Wonder Goat goes missing, the local "Murder Mavens" are asked to investigate. But what begins as a lighthearted search quickly uncovers something far more troubling beneath the surface.
