Season 1 | Season 2 | Season 3 | What are the "Red Circles?"
The Case
Detective Sophie Arlington (Corey Arruda) and Detective Jane Roberts (Willow Jayne
Anderson) respond to an officer's distress radio call after he finds a woman, Catherine
O'Brian (Samantha Gabrielsen), covered in blood in her own shower. The detectives
soon learn that the blood on Catherine is not her own. Upon further investigation, the
detectives find Catherine's brother Matthew (Cody Flynn) murdered in the backyard
shed.
Meanwhile, the detectives soon learn that in the house two decades earlier, a woman
named Emma Waters (Kathy Sullivan) was found in her shower covered in her son
Bobby's (Max Derderian) blood. Bobby himself was then found dead in the backyard
shed. Arlington also learns that her father Detective J. Arlington (Frank O'Donnell) and
his partner Kelsey Harolds (Kathy Bebeau) had been leads on the case.
Before the investigation can continue, the responding officer Ron (Samuel Bettencourt)
is found dead a few miles away after someone saw him only minutes earlier in the
house. Catherine is also found covered in blood again. After seeming like very strange
and paranormal events, the house is quarantined; the FBI's Agent Erica Thomas
(Julian Trilling) then takes over to investigate.
During the case, Chief Burt Kane (Matthew Lacombe) discovers that his son Ben (Jake
Derderian) has also gone missing; Kane then searches Newport for him.
In the midst of the case, Detective Arlington and Agent Thomas enter the house to try
and apprehend Catherine O'Brian. But they soon learn that Catherine is dead and now
are standing face-to-face with what seems to be the ghost of the late Emma Waters.
During all the commotion, Emma tries to shoot Arlington, but when Arlington fires back, she
hits Agent Thomas. The two vanish into a bright white light and then find themselves ghosts
watching events that led up to both Emma Waters' and Catherine O'Brian's deaths.
A flashback reveals that Arlington and Kane were having an affair and that Officer Ron
found out and tried to blackmail Kane to make him detective in return for his silence.
Meanwhile, a nosy reporter (Tiffany Squires) arrives trying to get some dirt on the
case. She interviews an old neighbor, Hunter Jackson (Paul Kandarian), who had lived
on the street when Emma Waters was alive. Tiffany then sees Kane's son Ben with
Hunter and tries to save Ben. Tiffany is overpowered by Hunter Jackson and knocked out.
Chief Kane continues to search for his son with the help of his wife, Sandra (Shir
Kantor). They start fighting about Kane not being there for Ben. She then tells Kane
that she knew that Kane and Arlington were having an affair together (something
previously revealed in the beginning of the series). Kane tries to deny it; Sandra then
reveals that she's pregnant and storms off.
Arlington continues to watch Emma's life and learns that her later father, J. Arlington,
was having an affair with his partner, Kelsey Harolds. Arlington then finds out that one
of the officers found out and was blackmailing Harolds right around the time of the
Emma Waters case. Harolds ended up shooting the officer and made it look like a
suicide (similar to how Officer Ron died in the present day).
Tiffany wakes up and tries to stop Hunter who speeds away in his car. Sandra walks
away from Kane and ends up getting hit by Hunter's car, dying instantly. Tiffany then
reveals to Kane that she's actually an Agent and was undercover. The two then run off and
try to track down Hunter's car.
Meanwhile, Detective Roberts tracks down Emma Waters' sister, Sarah (Theresa
Chiasson) and interviews her about the murders. Roberts finds out that Sarah would
receive several strange phone calls daily, around the time of her sister's death, yelling
strange things at her. Thus Sarah disconnected all her phones and won't use them.
That is until Roberts plugs her phones back in to see if it'll happen again. Roberts ends up
getting a call from Arlington who is still stuck watching Emma's life. Roberts runs off to
get help.
Arlington soon witnesses Hunter Jackson killing Bobby Waters and framing Emma, just
as Thomas sees Hunter killing Matthew. Arlington is transported back to the Waters
house and is warned by the ghosts of Thomas, Catherine, and Emma to try and stop
something called; "The Red Circles." That the same events that occurred to Emma
and Catherine will soon happen again, and Arlington must stop them. And that she's the
only one who can.
Arlington wakes up back in present day and goes back to Detective Harolds convinced
that Harolds knows more then she told her. Arlington and Harolds face off. Arlington
confronts Harolds about her father and how Emma was innocent. Harolds accuses
Arlington for killing Officer Ron, which only makes Arlington realize that it was actually Kane who killed
him.
Kane and Tiffany race to track down Hunter's car and hear on the radio that Roberts is in
pursuit. They then hear guns being fired. When they arrive, they find Hunter's car but
no one is there, until they open the trunk and find Thomas alive.
6 months after the O'Brian case, the entire case goes cold. Chief Burt Kane is MIA
after he leaves a letter of resignation and drives off in search of his missing son. Before
Kane leaves, Arlington faces Kane and tells him that she knows he killed Officer Ron.
Arlington then forgives him, surprising Kane.
A new Chief of Police arrives, Donna Williams (Dani Cameron), and suspends Detective
Arlington. Arlington begins working with Kelsey Harolds and discovers that Hunter
Jackson has been responsible for several other cases all over America where women were found in their
showers covered in blood and their sons found murdered.
The detectives soon discover a new victim, Mary (Anastasia O'Brien), dead in her
shower. Her son is also missing. Arlington's suspension is terminated, and she returns
to the force to help.
Agent Tiffany located Agent Thomas, who has taken a leave of absence. (She claims
she has no memory of what happened to her.) Tiffany tells Thomas about the new
developments and encourages her to return to Newport with her.
Meanwhile, Burt Kane tracks down Hunter Jackson's half-sister, Gloria (Mary C. Ferrara),
convinced that she knows the whereabouts of Hunter. However, Gloria tells Kane that
she wishes her brother was dead after she was convinced that he was responsible for killing
her abusive mother. Gloria tries to convince Kane to give up and go back to Newport.
Kane receives a phone call from Detective Erics (Krystal Hall) about the woman found
in the shower. He hurries back to Newport for answers. Arlington is now convinced that
if there is another case of a woman found in the shower, that the responding officer (Nathan Jon Desisto)
may be in danger. (The responding officers from the other similar cases either killed themselves or
were murdered.) Arlington and Erics return to the location that they found Officer Ron.
However they don't find anyone.
Donna Williams and the other detectives find the missing boy of Matthew O'Brian in the
backyard. Arlington and Erics return empty-handed, but when Erics goes into her trunk
to get something she finds the officer's dead body.
Agent Tiffany and Thomas return to Newport to take over the case. They interview a
neighbor, Mrs. Jones, who thought she saw Mary talking to someone. Kane returns
to the crime scene only to find that he isn't welcomed by anyone. Everyone begins
fighting, until Thomas speeds off in her car angrily. They follow her to the Waters' house
where they find a pregnant woman, Elizabeth (Danya Martin), locked in the attic.
Elizabeth is taken to the hospital, and gives birth to a baby girl. However, she refuses to
see her daughter. When Williams shows her a picture of Hunter Jackson, she freaks out
and needs to be restrained. Arlington gets a call from Harolds and meets her. Harolds
tells her that she tried to talk to her mother, Miriam Arlington (Mary Paolino), because
she needed a combination to a safe that could have more information about the case
in it. Arlington sends Harolds home, and goes in to talk to her mother. (Arlington hasn't
spoken to her since her father's suicide, because her mother was so psychotic. She's
been in a mental hospital ever since.)
After a heated argument between her and her mother, Arlington successfully receives
the combination. Arlington sees Kane, they then both return to her house to open the safe.
Meanwhile, the detectives receive a 9-1-1 call from Mrs. Jones. They return to Mary's
house to find Mrs. Jones stabbed and dying in the front yard. Before she dies, she gives
them a message: "He said to leave Hunter Jackson alone."
Williams convinces Elizabeth to see her baby. Williams tells Elizabeth about how she
was raped while undercover several years ago. The two connect, and Elizabeth asks to
see her baby. Williams leaves the room to find the nurse. However, there is a panic in
the hallway. Elizabeth's baby is missing.
Arlington finds a videotape in the safe. Kane and Arlington watch the tape, and find out
that it's from J. Arlington apologizing to Arlington right before he killed himself. The tape
is cut off in the middle, so Arlington calls Harolds. At Mary's house, after Mrs. Jones has
died, the agents wash themselves off and chat about the case. They suddenly hear a
cell phone ringing in the basement. They go downstairs and find Kelsey Harolds dead,
her throat slit, and her cell phone ringing with an incoming call from Arlington.
Arlington and Kane fight about where they stand in their relationship. Kane tells about
his stupidity about having an affair with her; that all he cares about now is the fact that wife is dead and son
is missing. Arlington leaves Kane to return to the crime scene, and Kane returns to his
apartment.
Arlington arrives at the crime scene and sees Mrs. Jones' body. Arlington freaks out
because she recognizes the witness as the mother of her former partner from New
York, Detective Hannah Jones (Susan T. Travers). After she freaks out, Agent Thomas
encourages Arlington to take a break and personally go to New York to tell her partner
about her mother's death. Arlington and Tiffany leave together.
Elizabeth is taken to a safe house by Agent Jillian White (Jennifer Walsh). The agent
has taken over Elizabeth's case, and tells her that Williams and the other agents are off
looking for her daughter.
In a flashback, the final few days leading up to Emma Waters' husband, Tom Waters,
death is revealed. They couple were dealing with money problems, which led to Emma
working too much and not being around to spend time with her son Bobby. They couple
end up fighting, and Tom storms off. Later that day, Emma receives a phone call that
Tom died in a car accident after being forced off the road by a drunken truck driver. The
company of the driver then awards Emma a settlement of $250,000. Emma quits her job to
be with Bobby.
Kane returns to his apartment only to be attacked by Hunter Jackson. Kane is tied up to
a chair and begins to get tortured by Hunter. Hunter calls Kane a villain for killing Officer
Ron and neglecting his family.
Arlington goes to New York and tells Jones about her mother's death. Jones tells
Arlington she hasn't spoken to her mother is years; that her mother was a drunk and a
druggie. However Jones goes and gets her daughter Penny (Ava Caiola), bringing
her back to Newport with Arlington.
Jones goes with an agent to see her mother's body. Penny is taken to a safe house until
Jones is ready to go home. Penny meets Elizabeth at the safe house, and they both
begin to bond.
Arlington sees her mother, Miriam, hoping for more answers about why her father killed
himself. Miriam tells her that she received these strange phone calls around the time
of J. Arlington's death. They haunted her father, and could've been a reason he killed
himself. Miriam said it was a reason that she had to get away from everything and
admitted herself in the hospital. Arlington leaves Miriam, but promises to visit her more.
Arlington works with Thomas to figure out who was making the phone calls. They trace
the records to the apartment of Sarah Waters. They both interview her about the calls,
only to learn that she too received these strange phone calls and disconnected her
phones.
Agent Davis (Gilbert Polanco) returns to the Waters house to investigate something.
Suddenly, he hears something upstairs and discovers Ben Kane in the upstairs closet.
Kane continues being tortured by Hunter Jackson. Kane then sees Gloria Jackson in
the house, and discovers that she was lying to him. Gloria was in on everything, and
tells Kane not to take it "personal." Hunter then sends Gloria away from the house
with the baby. Elizabeth is visited by Williams who gives her hope about finding her
daughter.
Hannah Jones returns to her mother's apartment and finds several rejection letters
from adoption agencies. In a flashback, we learn that Jones' mother, Mrs. Jones, was
trying to adopt another child. Harolds, who had become a social worker, met
with Jones. However when Harolds learned that Jones had a history of alcohol and drug
abuse, she denied Mrs. Jones. However, later that day, Mary (Mrs. Jones' neighbor)
knocked on her door and asked her to watch her son.
Mrs. Jones became infatuated with Mary's son. In present day, Hannah Jones finds an old
photo album that has her face cut out and replaced with Mary's son's face. Jones then
finds a key in the album that belongs to a bulkhead in the backyard. Jones unlocks the
bulkhead and finds Mary's missing son. In a final flashback, we learn that Mary is killed
by Mrs. Jones so she can adopt her son.
Mary's son is taken by the agents. Jones gets ready to return home, but first does
another sweep of the crime scene. Jones overhears Dr. Warren (Eva Davenport) on the
phone with a man she calls "Hunter", telling him that they found Mary's son.
Arlington leaves Thomas and Sarah to see Ben Kane. Arlington arrives and ends up
having to tell Ben Kane about the fate of his mother. Arlington then tells Ben Kane that
she is going to take him home.
Meanwhile, Jones follows Dr. Warren back to her house and spies on her. However,
Dr. Warren sneaks up on Jones and put a gun to her head. Dr. Warren takes Jones
hostage, and leads her to her basement where they find another woman held hostage.
It's soon revealed that the woman is the missing Detective Jane Roberts.
Arlington goes to Kane's apartment, but makes Ben wait in the car. Arlington enters and
finds Kane tied up. Hunter holds a gun to Kane's head and demands that she drop her
gun. Arlington does, and Hunter now takes her hostage.
Elizabeth thinks she sees her husband, Daniel Wood (Linus Power), who has also
been missing. (He reportedly had moved away after Elizabeth had been missing over a year, accepting she was gone.) Agent White goes outside
to search for him, but comes back empty handed. Elizabeth is convinced that White
is lying and fights her to go outside. Elizabeth pushes White down, knocking her out.
Elizabeth then takes Penny and runs out of the house with her.
Warren blames Roberts for helping cover up Officer Ron's death. (Warren was in love
with Officer Ron, and they had been secretly seeing each other. Ron had purposed to
her right before he was shot.) Warren almost kills Jones, but gets a phone call to not
do anything. Eventually, Jones and Roberts overpower Warren and tie her up. Gloria
Jackson arrives and Jones and Roberts arrest her. However, Gloria tells them that if
she doesn't call Hunter in the next two minutes, that he'll kill the baby.
Tiffany and Agent Davis work together back at the crime scene to read over
journals that they found that belonged to Emma Waters. Agent Davis tells Tiffany
about something he read, that shocks Tiffany. She remembers that it was a similar
thing Thomas once told her about her sister. Tiffany runs off to find Thomas for an
explanation.
Thomas and Sarah continue talking about Emma. Sarah notices strange similarities
between Thomas and her sister, Emma. Sarah confronts Thomas about it, who at first
denies it. However, when Sarah asks her more personal questions about Emma (that
only Emma would know), she is shocked when Thomas answers them correctly. Tiffany
arrives at the apartment, just as Thomas reveals to Sarah that she is actually Emma.
Gloria Jackson calls Hunter Jackson and tells him something about a "red car" that
she'll be driving. Hannah Jones realizes that Gloria was secretly warning him that she
had been caught. Roberts calls for backup, and then receives information for Jones.
Roberts tells Jones that Elizabeth attack Agent White and ran off with her daughter,
Penny.
Arlington tells Kane that she found his son. Hunter Jackson yells at Arlington and Kane
about their affair and how Arlington can love such an evil person. Arlington finds out
that Kane was responsible for trying to frame Catherine that second time she was found
in the shower. However, she still forgives Kane and tells her how much she loves him.
Kane responds by apologizing what he said to her and that no matter what, he will
always love her.
Emma reveals to Sarah and Tiffany, that when Agent Thomas was shot, she was
able to resurrect herself in her body. She tells them about what happened to her after
she died and how she was a ghost poisoned inside her own house. She then loses
the ability to breathe and starts shaking. Before she dies, she tells them that Hunter
Jackson isn't really Hunter Jackson. She tells them that her husband, Tom, also found a
way to resurrect himself and is Hunter Jackson.
Hunter Jackson (now revealed as Tom Waters) unties Arlington and makes her get a
knife from the table. He puts a gun to her head and says that he'll let her go if she slits
Kane's throat. At first, Arlington refuses, but Kane yells at her to do it, to save herself;
that he's going to die no matter what. After they both exchange their final words of love
to each other, Arlington takes the knife and slits Kane's throat.
After Kane dies, Hunter ties Arlington back up and tries to tell her that she'll eventually
understand everything. However, Arlington tells Hunter that no matter what happens,
she'll kill him.
After the death of her partner and lover, Burt Kane (Matthew Lacombe), Sophie
Arlington takes a leave of absence and attends therapy with Dr. Gene Avery
(Maureen Vlaco). Meanwhile, Detective Hannah Jones (Susan T. Travers) is
searching for her missing daughter Penny (Ava Caiola), who Elizabeth (Danya
Martin) kidnapped while escaping the safe house.
Meanwhile, Agent Tiffany Simmons (Sophie Kreyssig) is left in charge of the case
and the notorious Criminal Analyst Agent James Henderson (Daniel Lee White) is
called to assist her. Upon searching for Penny Jones, Officer King (Thomas Capuano)
goes missing while talking to a neighbor. Jones and Agent White (Jennifer Walsh) go
into the house to investigate and find another shower covered in blood.
The team arrives at the house of Janice, who is missing, to investigate the recent
"bloody shower" discovery. Agent Jenner (Molly Kay) discovers blood droplets
leading away from the crime scene. The team follows the path which leads them
to a large amount of blood in the woods. Shocked by the location of the blood, it's
discovered that Tiffany buried Thomas' dead body in that location earlier.
Arlington returns from therapy to find her old partner, Roberts (Willow Jayne
Anderson) waiting on her stoop. She pushes her to talk to her, and finds out that
Arlington is pregnant.
Arlington is unsure who the father of her child could be. Roberts takes her to the
doctor. Meanwhile, Detective Adam Hartt (Timothy Bonavita) arrives at the station
to find Jones. He is her old partner from New York and has come to help her find
Penny. Angry by how the left things (Hartt made a pass at her), Jones asks him to go
home and leave her alone.
Henderson makes a discovery that all the dates that Hunter Jackson killed his
victims were on nights that had full moons. Arlington and Roberts return from the
doctors and accidently pass the cemetery that Kane is buried. Arlington goes to his
grave and finds rose petals leading away. She follows them to edge of the cemetery
overlooking a beach in which Janice's dead body is located.
Because the detective found Agent Thomas' body, Tiffany decides to have Emma
Waters' grave exhumed. She goes to Sarah Waters (Theresa Chiasson) for
permission. The detective arrives at the beach and Henderson finds an interesting
connection about the crime scene, and leaves to talk to a contact. (We also find out
that Henderson has Asperger's syndrome.)
Roberts takes Arlington home. Henderson arrives at Sadie Watson's (Mary Fleming)
house, a woman who has the ability to talk to the dead and shows her the crime
scene photos. They discuss an old resurrection ritual that the crime scene looks
similar to called the "Red Circles". Hartt and Jones interview a neighbor near the
house they found the bloody shower who identifies Elizabeth in a photo. She saw
her around the time Janice was supposedly killed. Jones also makes a discovery that
the missing officer, Officer King, knew Janice.
Roberts leaves Arlington at her house, and tells her she is leaving for New
Hampshire to get away from everything. She tries to convince Arlington to come
with her, but she declines. Arlington returns home, but is soon disrupted when there
is a knock on her door. She opens it and finds Officer King dying from several stab wounds. He grabs her and tells her to "Stop the Red Circles." He then dies, with Arlington
seeing a note on his chest. The note tells her to "Trust No One."
Arlington is interrogated by Tiffany about her recent discovery and questioned
about her involvement in the case. Tiffany is convinced Arlington is hiding something.
Meanwhile, the detectives are angry about everything that has happened so far. Emma
Water's body is exhumed and inside the coffin they find Thomas' body. Jones freaks
out and storms off upset that no one is looking for her daughter and just wasting their
time with some big game.
Upon leaving, Elizabeth arrives, surrendering herself to the police. Henderson
brings Sadie to the station to discuss their take on what Hunter Jackson might be
doing. Tiffany dismisses the idea, furious with Henderson.
Elizabeth's past is revealed. We learn that Hunter kidnapped her and kept her
hostage in the Waters house. He eventually gets her pregnant and then forces Dr.
Warren (Eva Davenport) to help deliver the baby. The detectives interrogate her
and find out that not only does she know where Penny is, but also can give the
detectives Hunter's location and answers to several other whereabouts of past
victims. However, she makes a deal with them to release both Gloria Jackson (Mary
C. Ferrara) and Hayley Warren from prison. Jones eventually convinces Tiffany to
make the deal, and Warren/Jackson are released.
When Elizabeth goes to give Jones the location of her daughter, she attacks her and
manages to get Jones' gun. During the fight, Tiffany is knocked out against the wall
and passes out. Elizabeth then turns the gun on herself and shoots herself. Tiffany
suddenly wakes up strangely and storms out of the room. Jones and Hartt take off
to find Penny. Meanwhile, Arlington finds her mother Miriam (Mary Paolino) at
the station. However, she soon learns that its not her mother and instead the spirit
of Agent Thomas in her mother's body. Shocked by this discovery, Thomas orders
her to go with her because they are running out of time. In the bathroom, it is
discovered that Agent Tiffany has also had a change – she is now being controlled by
a spirit too.
Jones and Hartt find Penny at an abandoned factory. However, she is locked in a
closet. Hartt sees that the door is wired. They both contact the bomb squad. Tiffany
arrives at a safe house in which Gloria Jackson is inside. She quickly convinces her to
let her inside by giving her a code and telling her a story that only Gloria and Hunter
would know. It quickly discovered that Tiffany is now Tom Waters (who was inside
Hunter Jackson's body at one time). Inside the house, Dr. Warren is also there. She
tells them to stay with the plan and then leaves.
Thomas and Arlington return to the Waters' house. Thomas tells Arlington her
mother is just in a deep sleep and not to worry about her. She will answer all her
questions soon. The bomb squad arrives and find that Penny's closet is rigged with
an explosive. Sadie and Henderson return to Hunter's old house and Sadie speaks
with her his deceased mother. She then tells Henderson they must go to the Waters'
house for answers.
Detective Erics and Goyle go to Elizabeth's old house after they receive a tip and find
Hunter Jackson's dead body in the bathtub.
Hunter's body is taken to the morgue. Tiffany finds out from Agent White where
Ben Kane is being kept (apparently, he has been in a deep sleep since Burt Kane
was killed and Arlington had left him in the car). Tiffany goes to the safe house and
kills the agent and then kidnaps Ben. Meanwhile, Thomas explains the afterlife to
Arlington and how Hunter Jackson is trying to resurrect his dead son. However, he
has cursed everyone in doing this and everyone is in danger unless they create a
spell of their own to counter it.
Detective Goyle (Evan Konstantine) meets up with Dr. Avery at the station who has
come to see if everyone is okay since they found Hunter. They go to the morgue
to check on everything. Detective Erics finds Sarah Waters, which is hoping to
see Hunter's body. Erics lets her, but while they are viewing the body Dr. Warren
storms the morgue killing a medical assistant and holding everyone else hostage by
gunpoint. Goyle and Avery also arrive and are also taken captive. However, Warren
shoots Erics killing her.
Sadie and Henderson arrive at the house and are confused to find Arlington
there. They eventually force their way in, but when Sadie sees Thomas she starts
screaming and goes into a trance collapsing to the floor.
Back at the factory, the bomb squad leader, Agent Beck (Joe DiSalvatore) and Agent
Beth (Monica Saviolakis), discover that the bomb is controlled by a remote. They
try to disconnect the wire, but suddenly a cell phone rings inside the closet. Penny
answers the phone and is ordered that everyone leave the bomb alone and go
outside. They exit the building (except for Beth who stays behind) to find Gloria
Jackson with her finger on the remote and ordering everyone to give her their guns.
She takes them hostage.
Meanwhile, in the morgue, Warren orders the medical examiner to remove both
Hunter's and Erics' heart, and prepare for a heart transplant. When she refuses,
Warren shoots her in the hands. When she is about to shoot someone else, Dr. Avery
agrees to do it. Warren then points the gun and Sarah Waters and pushes her out of
the room.
Back at the Waters' house, Sadie overcomes her trance and whispers something in
Thomas' ear. Arlington finds the ghost of Elizabeth in the house who tells her that
Hunter killed her then took over her body to get to Tiffany. Arlington then learns
that Ben Kane is missing and convinces Henderson to help her track them down
before its too late.
We begin to see "flashfowards" to the year 2022, in which someone who lives in the
Waters' house is babysitting a boy. His name is Michael.
Gloria continues to hold everyone hostage while she waits for orders from someone.
Warren tells the others that she is doing this to bring her lover, Officer Ron,
back from the dead - that Hunter had all the answers for her. Henderson and
Arlington track Tiffany's whereabouts to Kane's old apartment. They follow her
there, however Tiffany is hiding from them behind a tree. She fires her gun killing
Henderson and holds Arlington captive. They both hold guns at each other until
Tiffany reminds her that she knows where Ben Kane is. Arlington drops her gun and
Tiffany knocks her out.
Sadie and Thomas prepare for their spell that will involve Arlington when she
returns. In 2022, Michael wakes up the next morning and is taken to a funeral by
an officer. Back in present day, Jones pleads with Gloria to save her daughter. She
eventually grabs her gun and begs Gloria to kill her instead. Agent Beck is able to
get to his phone and secretly call Agent Beth to walk her through how to diffuse the
bomb after seeing Gloria's remote.
Arlington wakes up to find Tiffany attempting a ritual spell on Ben Kane who is
still in a deep sleep. Tiffany tries to defend her actions on killing people to save his
son, who is being tortured in the afterlife, but Arlington doesn't respond. Tiffany
performs the spell thinking that the Red Circles will work this time. However, Ben
Kane awakes from his sleep and is still himself and not Bobby. She then learns that
Arlington is pregnant and become furious. Angry, she goes to kill Ben but Arlington
is able to escape and attacks her.
She restrains Tiffany and brings her back to the Waters' house with Ben. Gloria
gets a call from Warren who is about to complete a ritual of her own by using Erics'
heart inside Hunter's. body However, when she goes to restart the heart with
diffibulators, nothing happens. Gloria is angry by this and freaks out at Jones. Jones
tries to talk her down but upsets her even more causing her to set the bomb off with
the remote by breaking it on the ground. Hartt is able to restrain Gloria and arrest
her.
Luckily, Agent Beth was able to diffuse the bomb before Gloria destroyed the
remote. Jones is reunited with her daughter. Meanwhile, at the morgue, Warren is
angry that her plan didn't work either and points her gun at Dr. Avery. However,
Goyle is able to attack Warren and get the gun away from her and restrain her.
During all the commotion, Hunter Jackson wakes up with no recollection of what
happened to him.
In 2022, Michael arrives at the funeral, to all the other detectives. Jones is with
her daughter (now and Officer) and Hartt. He then walks up and finds his mother,
Sophie Arlington, at Burt's grave. They all are there to attend the funeral of Sarah
Waters who recently died.
In the present day, Arlington returns with Tiffany's body. When Arlington enters
the house, Thomas knocks her out. She wakes up in the backyard surrounding by
a circle of lamps and a red circle painted on her stomach. She is tied to the ground
next to Tiffany who is angry and trying to escape. Thomas and Sadie are chanting
strange language and throwing salt at the women. Arlington begs Thomas to tell her
what's going on, but she refuses. But, she does eventually tell her that everything is
about to change and the Red Circles should stop.
No one will remember a thing and she needs to allow it all to happen. Everything
goes to black and the ladies vanish.
In 2022, Michael and Arlington return from the funeral. Arlington talks to Michael
about how lucky he is was to be born and wishes he could know everything about
what it was like around the time she was pregnant with him; "things that no one
would believe". Michael and Arlington go to sleep.
During the night, Arlington wakes up to find her bathroom light on and her shower
going. She enters the bathroom and finds it covered in blood; someone then pushes
her into it. Arlington looks at them and exclaims; "It didn't work!" The person then
lowers a knife and walks towards her as she sits helplessly in the bloody shower.
The next morning, Officer Penny arrives to pick up Michael for school and finds the
house empty. She reports to her dispatcher (the same way that Officer Ron does in
Episode 1). She makes her way to the bathroom and screams for help.
During the investigation, Sophie Arlington uncovers more about the motivation of her
father's suicide. Arlington soon comes face to face with the ghost of Emma Waters who
shows her the events leading up to her son's death. Arlington is also given a warning
that it isn't a coincidence that Catherine and Matthew have faced the same fate. She is
told that since the 90s, the same events will occur over and over again unless Arlington
can figure out how to stop it. Arlington and her team are trapped in a murderous
repetitive cycle (known as a "Red Circle") that could soon curse everyone that comes
in contact with it.
