Caitlin and Alan finish fortifying Portland Row and watch Lucy and Lockwood take a break under the garden apple tree. We dig into Skull’s backstory and wonder if he could “move on” from his captivity. Is Rupert Gale the same man that Marissa knew when she was young, or his descendant? How did wax, wood, and pouches contain the Sources of the ghosts that Lockwood’s parents stored away?
