This Inconspicuous Looking Building Is the Key. Lets Just Walk Right In And See Whats Up.

This week's episode gets us a little closer to some answers but then brings up more questions. I have not a clue what's going on but I keep trying none the less. "Ave Verum Corpus" (which apparently translates to "Hail, true body") refers to the Mozart motet. Remember Madison previously referenced it when talking to Karen. Marcus says he was in the orchestra the first time it was played in 1791. A little girl was also murdered that night (my guess is by Marcus).

Gary gives Jack some much needed clues. Conveniently Gary has a wealthy client named Joseph Cranfield who recently asked him to dispose of all of his assets and give a large sum of money to an obscure charity know as the Psychomancy Trust. The trust goes back some 300 years. They lease a building from Todd Crane (Amy's boss). This is the same building that Gary spotted Amy at when she disappeared. The three trustees of the building are listed as: Todd Crane, Marcus Fox, and Joseph Cranfield. When Cranfield dies then Amy becomes the third trustee. Gary and Jack go to the building but it is completely empty.

Next Jack heads over to Bill Anderson's house. He gets a freaky call form what sounds like a woman. She says he should still away form the house unless he wants the same thing to happen to him. Next the voice calls Richard. She says Anderson should have been killed previously and that Richard should do his job. We learn that the person behind the voice is named "Rose".

The struggle for Madison's soul continues. Madison just want to go home. She calls her mom but says "the man inside me wont let me". Marcus wants to visit Crane.

Amy is at home watching TV when the biography of a jazz musician from the 1930s comes on. She touches the screen and says "soon". She then has an image of a miscarriage and destroys the TV with a fireplace poker. She later gets a call with weird static on it and smiles.

Never Tangle With A Nine Year Old Girl Who Is Possessed By A Thousand Year Old Possible Serial Killer And Pedophile.

Madi-Marcus goes to see Crane. He lefts loss with some choice phrases that a little girl shouldnt be saying. Was Marcus a pedophile that is now in the body of a 9 year old girl? Remember he alluded to a girl's murder earlier. If that's true, this is wrong on so many different levels. Marcus wants to talk to Cranfield but Crane wont budge. After Madison leaves, Todd immediately goes to speak to Rose saying that the problem them never thought they would have again is back.

Just A Thought But You Might Want To Close The Curtains Before You Wrap Someone Up Like A Mummy And Kill Them.

Gary and Jack later hide outside Cranfield's house. They see through an open window that Cranfield is wrapped up like a mummy and then killed. Its some sort of ceremony and Shepherd is there. It looks like Cranfield was suffocated. Amy then appears and closes the curtains. Jack and Gary barely escape the guards at Cranfield's house.

Yeah I'm Thinking Maybe We Shouldnt Have Seen This.

Jacks sends a coded message to the Oz Turner podcast and meets with Bill Anderson. Bill shows up at a restaurant. He was working on a Ghost Machine. We're not sure exactly what it does but I think the gist is it uses infrasonics sound (within the 19 hertz range) to detect souls. Bill refuses to cash the check from Cranfield for $10 million. He wanted Bill to cease his research. But Bill doesnt have much time to talk cause he's blow away by Richard Shepherd. Bill says "Qui Reverti" right before he dies.

Points To Ponder:

Are certain people born with a second soul intact? We learn that Marcus has been gone for 9 years (buried alive?) and his spirit seemed to be activated inside of Madison on her 9th birthday.
Do both people continue to inhabit the same body or does one eventually win out. There's a big struggle inside of Madison and Marcus but the struggle does not seem as intense between Amy and the Russian secret service agent.
"Sherpherd" seems to be a job title instead of a real last name. So far we have Richard Shepherd and Frank Shepherd.
What's up with this "Rose" that calls everyone and tells them what to do? Do we know her? Is she Amy?
How exactly does the ghost machine work? Are there souls just hanging around waiting to inhabit their new bodies? Are they congregating at some ghost bar?
Wrapping Cranfield as a mummy was an interesting choice. Are the writers telling us this is what the ancient Egyptians were doing during mummification? Is so, were some members of the 9 alive during the time of the Pharaohs?

Favorite Quotes:

"Not forever... soon."- Amy to the TV when the biography of a jazz musician comes on.
"There are places on earth where its easier to cross from the living to the dead and back again. The world has many such places."- Madison reading from the Book Of 9. I see one of them is the Psychomancy Trust Building.
"Do your job Richard."- Rose to Richard.
Marcus: "Who's next? Was Rose triggered?" Later followed by "Hey Todd, what goes around, comes around."
"Never forget."- Jack calling into the Bill Anderson podcast.
"I made a ghost machine. I know it sounds goofy and needs a better name but that's exactly what it is... a device that sees ghosts"- Bill to Jack and Gary right before he's gunned down.
