 ==== Supper Happy Fun Colonial Murder Time ====
-William grunts, hangs up the phone, and rolls over to go back to sleep as he mutters, "Well, I already have the details." He falls asleep almost immediately but feels a 'pulse' from the dagger as if it wants to show him something. Curious, William lets it in, and he partially disassociates. He's aware of his body in bed and the phone ringing but opens his eyes to find himself standing in a colonial village, snow softly falling around him! He looks down and sees he's dressed in a russet heavy coat, white breeches down to his knees, knee-high gray stockings held up by garters, and high-cut leather boots, with a brimmed felt hat to keep the snow out of his eyes.((I originally described William wearing a tricornered hat, but those weren't in use until many years later, at the end of the 17th century.))

 William looks around and sees no one else and no light at all, except from the church meeting house across the square. He shrugs and walks through the gathering snow to the church. He knocks the snow from his boots on the stair and then tries the door; it opens soundlessly. William slips inside and is immediately hit with a humid heat and the coppery taste of blood in the back of his mouth! He hears noises from the back room, so he moves silently through the austere architecture to the door. He knocks and calls out, "Hello," and then he opens the door slowly.

 Hidalgo adds, "One more thing. Homeland Security has ordered a full evacuation of everyone within a block of the parking garage. That's several Smith dorms, Forbes Library, and a large amount of housing." Sam whistles as he calculates the scope of the evacuation. Hidalgo nods and says, "Officer McManus is the chief point of contact with DHS. As for Cross Path Road, the six survivors are at CDH under guard, and CSI techs onsite are putting severed limbs and heads to torsos in the worst jigsaw puzzle ever." Sam nods and thanks her profusely. Hidalgo clocks out to go home and sleep.
-William wakes up at six, feeling surprisingly refreshed. He showers, eats, and then calls Josh at 6:45 to ask for a ride. Josh blearily answers, but immediately agrees. William dresses professionally and puts his badge in his pocket. He then texts Sam, //"I'll be there as soon as I can, I'm waiting for Josh to get here."// Josh pulls up at 7:05 while Sam gets the text and stares at his phone in shock; he's never gotten a text from William in thirty years. William climbs into Josh's car and Josh hands him a fidget spinner to hold.((Wendy initially said a fidget spinner, but we thought they didn't exist in 2010. They've actually been around since the 1990s.)) William shrugs and accepts the toy. Josh drives his grandfather down to the NPD station, and William gives Josh an update about last night, including how he was supposed to go to the scene and didn't. William leaves out the vision, but Josh frets about potentially having to lie to the police. He drops William off at 7:25.

 ==== The Band Is Back Together ====
-Sam waits a few minutes in silence and then reaches for the Polaroids. Each is numbered 1-7 and have notes on the back. He quickly rearranges them into order without really looking at them, and then starts examining them in order. Polaroids 1-6 show the ruined shell of the house, the gap in the floor to the basement, the reinforced ceiling, and the red-carpeted room with trophy cases. Sam then gets to Polaroid #7, which has no notes and depicts a burnt corpse – and the anatomy definitely isn't human.((Malcolm's mother post demonic possession.)) Sam stares in horror and then calls Vandernoot. She answers, and Sam says in a surprisingly steady voice, "I need you and William back here as soon as possible." He then hangs up.

 Vandernoot frowns as she puts her phone away and demands, "What are you doing now?" to William. William looks up in confusion and says, 'Collating notes?" MacLeod looks over as Vandernoot purses her lips and says softly, "Sam is asking for you and me back at the station." William grumbles, "Coming back has gone to his head." MacLeod snorts but Vandernoot says simply, "We're going. Now." They walk out of the tent and Vandernoot tells Arroyo, "Have to check on something at the NPD. Can you take over?" Arroyo nods and they head for their cars.

 Black goes silent for a moment as he considers the offer, and then he says, //"Can this surgeon handle serious bullet wounds?"// Anita replies firmly, "Very much so." Black replies, //"Very well then, I accept. We're at the Barney Mausoleum. You heal my men; you can have Samir and his friends. All of them."// Anita realizes Dr. Ranjip is signaling and tells Black, "One sec." She puts the phone to her stomach to muffle sounds and Dr. Ranjip hisses, "Find out what injuries I'll need to treat, please." Anita lifts the phone and says, "The doctor is asking what injuries he'll be dealing with." Black replies crisply, //"Four of my men have been shot. In order of ascending seriousness, one was shot through-and-through in his right shoulder. The second was shot through the left kneecap. The other two have torso wounds, the first is a gut wound and the second a chest wound, we're looking at a collapsing lung."//
-Dr. Ranjip nods as he overhears Black's assessment. Anita tells Black, "We're bringing backup." Black replies, //"Of course. How many?"// Anita says, "I'll let you know in a minute." She again puts the phone to her stomach and eyes the others. Leta immediately announces, "I'm going." Anita nods but Dr. Ranjip interjects, "With respect though, Mick and Polly need to consider their careers in law enforcement." William cuts in, "So do I; I've been reactivated. But your point is valid." Josh agrees and says, "They can't look dirty." Dr. Ranjip nods and then hesitates. He asks Josh, "You've met him, yes?" Josh nods Dr. Ranjip turns to William and asks, "Are you alright with Josh coming along? We may need his skills as a negotiator."((This is one example of how Amar Ranjip is very forward-thinking in some ways, but still stuck in the late 19th and early 20th century in some other ways.)) Leta snaps hotly, "Josh can make his own decisions."

 William nods and says, "It's his call." Josh decides, "I'm in," which prompts Abby to state, "Me too." Anita says, "So me, Dr. Ranjip, Leta, Veltis, Abby, and Josh?" They nod, so Anita lifts the phone again and informs Black, "Besides the doctor and I, three and a half." Black replies, //"And a half? Are you bringing another demon?"// Leta glares at Anita as she replies, "Yes. We can be there in fifteen minutes or so." Black replies, //"Excellent. You don't have to worry about anyone patrolling Forest Park, just drive right on up. See you soon."// Black then hangs up.
