Thom catches Damian with another man and finally tells him that their affair is over. But Thom can't be sure of his true feelings, suspecting that Damian may be using magic to create the illusion of what Thom truly feels. Frankie appears to Thom and encourages him to check out a new book about the island's supernatural history written by a local author, Harris Chichester. The book tells of the Ring of Erebus, buried somewhere on the island, that imparts a magical shield to whoever wears it. Thom is skeptical but agrees to think about it. Sheriff Trout has a flashback to his time spent mentoring a young man named Dennis, who we learn was the victim of an cold case murder that happened on the island two years earlier.
