Achingly lonely for Shelly, Draven
attempts to re-open the loft portal using ancient knowledge.
In the swirling distance on the Other Side, he sees a shadowy
figure and encourages it to come toward him. What emerges in
the loft, however, is a supernatural entity, which violently
attacks him, leaving him beaten and disabled. As it leaves, the
entity morphs into the form of a normal human being. Draven now
must contact Albrecht and inform him that he has let a vicious
deadly spirit loose on Port Columbia. Together, they track the
shape-shifter, learning that he is, in reality, Richard Ellis
Wilbanks, an electrocuted serial killer who is now stalking the
witnesses to his execution – including a woman who testified
against him and Cordelia, on one of her first cases with the
DA’s office. Eventually, they catch Wilbanks, and return
him to the Land of Darkness. Faced with a terrible choice, Draven
decides to try to close the portal by nailing it shut, even if
it means he may never see Shelly again. |
