A Strange Vessel: Season 1, Episode 4

Warning: If you don't want to know what happened in this episode, don't read this photo recap!

When kid Eddie finds out that kid Mike and Jessica have been getting friendly on the sly, he doesn't take the news too kindly.

Over the river and through the woods, Lily is recuperating from her long trip to Grandma's house. She finds a pirate doll that Mike's brother Eddie made as a kid — how'd she know where it was hidden?

While Mike is trying to console his daughter, a full-scale pirate darkens his doorways. Not helping, pirate man!

Lily drops the bombshell on her dad that her body is acting as a vessel for Eddie's spirit, trapped on this Earth. She/he let's her dad/his brother let him (Mike) know how he (Mike) can set him (Eddie) free. Got that?

While Amy is scouring the middle school for a group of trouble-making kids, Candle Cove is getting a 21st century update.

She finds them mounting their own live-action production of Candle Cove in the gymnasium. It's going to be the next big thing.

Mike and Jessica follow Eddie's orders to find his skeleton in the morgue, and give it a proper burial. Where it can fertilize mushrooms.

Off his dead brother's orders, Mike lights Eddie's skeleton on fire (Eddie wasn't using it anyway). 

Meanwhile, Amy follows her intuition that something is up with Mrs. Booth. So she breaks into her home. Illegal search and seizure be damned — the standing sheriff's got a hunch!

What does Amy find in the basement but dear old, dead Daphne getting her blood drawn by Nurse Mittens over there.

Jessica arrives home to find an intruder there. Great, that's just what she needs after she helped her childhood sweetheart immolate the stolen skeleton of the brother he murdered.

When she attempts to escape the house, Jessica is blindsided by the crazy middle schoolers that have been acting out Candle Cove around town.

Mrs. Booth watches as her little hench-kids finish the job they started, and stab the stuffing out of poor Jessica.

And apparently a skeletal burning and a murder was all Eddie needed to leave his niece Lily's body. But what will Mike do when he finds out Jessica is dead?
