While Tyler works on a way to help Jackie, Gabe gives Kinsey a deadline to meet his demands, Eden manipulates Josh, and a shaken Nina reaches out.
Plot[]
As Tyler Locke and his uncle forge a new key to counter the Demon Key, Gabe appears in Keyhouse, threatening to kill Nina Locke unless Kinsey Locke joins his army. Meanwhile, Josh Bennett asks his daughter to get information about the Omega Key from Bode Locke. Nina eavesdrops on Bode and Jamie's discussion, deepening her frustration at being kept in the dark about the circumstances of her husband's death. She later goes to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting to vent, and spends time with Daniel Mutuku.
Josh is conflicted about deceiving Jamie and Bode, but agrees to let Eden Hawkins take him to see the Black Door. She stumbles into Javi spying on her, and kills him in the ensuing fight, taking the Anywhere Key. Jamie later sees her father leaving school with Eden. Gabe breaks into Josh's apartment and deduces that they are heading to the Black Door, and Bode and Jamie reach the same conclusion later. At the Drowning Caves, Josh has a bad feeling about the Black Door and gets suspicious of Eden. Gabe turns up to cause a cave-in with the Crown of Shadows, trapping Josh underground while Eden flees. Bode and Jamie then arrive and use the Hercules Key to dig Josh out, after which he promptly forgets the entire incident.
Despite Kinsey telling her friends not to interfere, Scot Cavendish turns up at Keyhouse to help. He reveals he did get into his choice of college, but turned down the offer to stay close to Kinsey. Kinsey draws his attention to the numerous unexplained cold-related phenomena happening around her, and Scot suggests that a ghost is trying to communicate with her. More supernatural occurrences (revealed to be Sam Lesser's work) lead her to a harness and its corresponding key.
Tyler successfully forges the Alpha Key and follows Jackie Veda to Gabe's cliffside base. After seeing her pass the Demon Key to Gabe, he gets close to her in private under the pretense of wanting to join the demons. He uses the Alpha Key to split the demon from Jackie's soul, only for her to die moments later in his arms.
Meanwhile, in front of the Black Door, which had been thrown open during the cave-in, Ellie Whedon (with Dodge's appearance) digs herself out of the rubble, closes the Black Door, and leaves the cave just before another cave-in.
