Come on.
- -I beat you, Tricia!
I win.
I let you win, Lucy.
Oh, shh, you don't want Jethro to shush us again.
Don't tease me, Tricia.
It'll spoil our last days together.
Will you me, my little tulip?
Of course.
Why are you even getting married?
Marcus is nice enough, but he's so old.
27 is hardly ancient.
When you're in love, age doesn't matter.
When you've grown up a tad more, you'll understand.
Stuff of nonsense!
Besides, I'm never growing up.
Well, we all grow up at some point.
I simply cannot wait to move away.
From Applewood?
Why?
Well, I think this place is frightful.
I've never liked it.
From the moment we moved here,
it's always felt so... peculiar.
"Peculiar"?
So heavy.
So still.
Like there's something always hanging in the air,
pushing me down.
Well, I never wanna leave.
Never ever.
I wanna stay here and never grow old
and never die.
Let's come in and see what's for dinner.
Yes, please, I do hope it's something yummy.
Oh, Lucy, Lucy slow down.
How long has it been
since you heard from Daniel?
Two or three days.
I mean, that's not unusual
-when he's out on patrol. - Why did he sign up
for that second tour?
But he's coming home in three months.
And you'll be stuck
with that ridiculous monstrosity of a hotel.
It is a bed and breakfast,
and we've already signed the contract,
so Applewood House is practical ours.
Would it have killed you to find something
a little closer to home?
Mom, you know very well that owning that house
-is Danny's childhood dream. - You'll be stuck
with some decrepit old Georgia mansion
that apparently means more to you than your own mother.
It's like Daniel intentionally put this wedge between us.
Look, you know that that's not true.
I worry about you, Katie.
You were always such a delicate child.
-Nightmares and-- - That was a long time
-ago. I was just a kid. -
-Look, there's somebody here. - Kaitlynn wait!
I'll talk to you later.
Call me back.
[soft melancholic music continues]
- -
This is for you.
Thank you.
- - Kaitlynn.
Kaitlynn, are you there?
Yeah.
Why haven't you returned my calls?
-Still in Dover, Mom. - I should be there
-with you. -No, I just, I need to be alone.
- Hey. -Stop, okay?
This is all too much
or you to deal with right now.f
-You know that. -
- -What, Mom?
Oh? Ms. Harris?
Um.
Yes.
Hi, this is Peggy.
Peggy Alford, your realtor from Springfield?
I was getting everything ready for the closing next week,
and I realized I didn't have
ny of your banking information.a
Closing.
So, you and your husband
are still good for the 18th, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, the 18th is fine.
Great.

[soft melancholic music continues]
Well, Danny,
here we are.
Oh, damn, that's cold!
Hey, come on.
The water's lovely.
I can't, Danny, I can't do this.
Sure you can, Kaitlynn,
you're braver than you think.

Hello, Ms. Harris.
Hey, Peggy, how are you this morning?
What can I do for you?
So, I have a strange question for you.
Never mind, I must have been dreaming.
So, the rest of my stuff is supposed to arrive later today.
What I'd really like to do
is get a few extra pieces for the house.
You know, something fitting
-or appropriate. - Oh, I can recommend
a perfect place.
Oh, okay, great.
There is an interesting antique store in town,
and the owner, he's completely obsessed with Applewood.
Over the years he's acquired most of the house's antiques
-and whatnot. - That sounds perfect!
Don't get your hopes up.
He refuses to sell anything from Applewood.
He keeps it in like a special exhibit room.
Odd, but if you need to know anything about that house,
Jedediah is your man.
And the soothsayer woman sent unto him,
"Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done,
how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits,
and the wizards, out of the land,
wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life."
-And the soothsayer woman -
said unto him,
"Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done,
how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits."
Hi, um, I was told you have some of the original items
from Applewood.
They're not for sale,
but you're welcome to look.
Okay.
You, Kaitlynn Harris, the new owner of Applewood House.
Hmm.
Mom would have a field day if she saw me now.
- -
Kaitlynn!
