S3E9 — "Revelations: Chapter One"

Air date: November 17, 2024 · Director: Jack Bender · Writer: John Griffin (story by Griffin & Jeff Pinkner)

Synopsis

Boyd Stevens and Ellis Stevens begin searching for Fatima Hassan, but Boyd suffers a freezing episode — a progression of his Parkinson's — and is forced to stop. Trapped in the cellar, Fatima is visited by Elgin Williams, who feeds her his blood. She accepts it hungrily, and her pregnancy progresses rapidly.

Victor Kavanaugh, blaming himself for getting his mother killed, goes to chop down the bottle tree. The Boy in White appears and stops him. Sara Myers hears the voices in her mind and tells Boyd that they claim Fatima has little time left.

Knowing how much Fatima means to the town's residents, Donna Raines calls a town meeting at the newly reopened diner, and everyone splits into pairs to search for Fatima. Boyd tells Kenny Liu that his Parkinson's has progressed and that Kenny needs to be ready to take over leadership of the town. Elgin tries to convince Ellis that Fatima's disappearance is a good thing, making Ellis suspicious of him.

Still trapped in the cellar, Fatima finds a hidden hatch in the floor — but the Kimono Woman appears and holds her down, keeping her quiet. Tabitha Matthews has a vision of one of the children, and she and Julie Matthews follow it to the cellar. There they find Victor — and Tabitha has a vision of Miranda's death, leaving her distressed.
