A poster of missing Girl Scout Becky Aspen leads the trio to Port Townsend, Washington, where Crystal rents a room above Jenny Green's butcher shop and meets her roommate Niko Sasaki. Psychically haunted by David, Crystal learns that Edwin was killed by bullying schoolmates during a botched summoning of the demon Sa'al and was trapped in Hell for seventy years. With Crystal's help and information from a stray cat, they save Becky from Esther Finch, a witch who kidnaps young girls to preserve their youth and feed her giant snake. Esther overpowers the boys, but Crystal enters their minds and sees Esther in a sea of ​​blood with the dark goddess Lilith. Charles briefly possesses Esther so she can escape, and Becky, having erased all memories of her captivity, is reunited with her parents. Meanwhile, Charles' possession of Esther alerts the Lost and Found of the Afterlife to the whereabouts of the Dead Boy Detectives.
