The Feast of Black Annis
This episode occurs immediately after the end of the previous episode using a different cast (due to some time constraints and real life problems.) This episode reintroduces Leonie, number 42 and introduces the immortal Leopold. We open with the cast being contacted by the Watchers with regards to a series of kidnapping around the city, the most recent being the previous night. The cast make their way to the scene and meet Joe Knonaem, a Detective who is in contact with the Watchers.

They gain from Joe a photo of each crime scene, which include a set of blood drawn line, which appear to be runes, and a copy of the “Thank-you” letter that has been left at each crime scene, the runes were written in blood, but that of the kidnappers, not the abducted. Leopold decides that a trip to the library of the local University is in order, and there they decipher a rather worrying prophecy.

It indicates that they have until midnight on Sunday to find the children, and that the kidnappers need another victim. At this point, Alex manifests and explains the absence of the rest of the group, slight case of zombies, and introduces himself to the new member of the group, although fails to shake his hand, he is still lacking a body. The group research and find that there is a Hellmouth in Pittsburgh, or more precisely two. The most power radiates from the Panther Hollow opening, and that is where they head.

Alex is uneasy when they arrive and stays with the cars, Leonie and 42 feel woozy. They are attacked by an enhanced drug-taker or so it seems. When he is killed a strange red glow leaves his body, which Alex attempts to follow and he combusts. Greg has been watching in the woods, and chooses to come forward at this time, explaining that Brigit and the Tao Delta Delta Fraternity were the cause of the abduction. He reveals that the children are being kept at the frat house, and tells the cast where Brigit is now.

The cast call the police of the Frat house and observe Brigit themselves. When they confront her, they suddenly feel sleepy, and Brigit uses the time they spend napping to escape. They do now know the name of the evil being that Brigit is attempting to contact, and they head to the library to research. Here 6 Oden Tal assassins who cause large amounts of property damage before being driven away attack them. Alex returns having lost the glow.

Leonie and Leopold spend Saturday investigating the Hellmouth, while 42 spends the day following Joe around, ensuring that he wasn’t attacked, Alex flickered between the two. Just after midday the police cruiser was attacked, causing the death of Joe’s partner, Lexie, and the destruction of the police car. 42 stabs the Nightstalker assailant, while Alex attempts some combat, at first putting his fist through the face of an Oden Tal, and then uses telekinesis to put some weight behind it. 42 uses his power to return Lexie to life.

The group spend the night waiting in Panther Hollow, but by 11:30pm nothing has happened. Just afterwards a small portal opens which starts draining tainted energy from the Hellmouth, they look through and determine that she is in a church. They rush over there and defeat 9 Oden Tal women and a Nightstalker. Leonie is nearly killed, while Brigit dives through a portal, followed by 42. Brigit drinks a bottle of blood taken from the children and focuses the powers of the Hellmouth into herself, and dives through another portal. 42 hides from the police, when Alex arrives and opens a portal back to the church, something he has picked up from observing Brigit’s portals. 42 uses his powers to heal both himself and Leonie, while Leopold washes the blood from the children, using holy water.

The following day, the group, excluding Alex is asked to attend a meeting at town hall, where they are honoured as heroes, given the key to the city, and finally recognized as they should be more often.
