FROM Episode 18: Forest for the Trees

Jim and Randall spend the episode trying to turn their suspicion about the town into action, while the town remains on edge and a strange new threat starts to emerge.

At Colony House, tension is high as the residents continue dealing with the stress of life in the town and the dangers that come with nightfall. In the wider town, Jim and Randall are focused on proving that something is manipulating events, and they come up with a risky plan to test their theory. Their attempt to get answers leads them into a dangerous situation, and the episode’s main thread follows the consequences of that plan.

The episode also shows that the town is experiencing a different kind of horror than the usual nightly threats, with something unsettling beginning to take shape. The promotional and episode descriptions do not provide much more plot detail, but they consistently frame the hour around Jim and Randall’s scheme and the rise of a new terror.
