Recap

Cora wakes up to a nightmare about her dead husband.

Cora wants to go back to the little town to continue to investigate the serpent.

The doctor tries to get her to return to London, but she doesn’t want to.

He relents, just making sure she promises to write.

Her son does not want to continue living in Essex, but she forces him.

The doctor questions Martha about Cora, as he has some sort of infatuation with Cora.

The Vicar is trying to quell many people’s fears concerning Gracie’s death.

Everyone tries to console their family with words of encouragement and songs.

Cora arrives at the ceremonies to try and pay her respects, but everyone stares at her.

The vicar follows her out of the pub, where he questions her on her real intentions.

He walks her back to the cabin she’s staying in, where he warns her not to induce fear.

When the doctor arrives home, he learns of a patient to try his heart surgery on.

One of the doctor’s maids enlists Martha to help her console the relative if things go bad.

The doctor performs the surgery while Martha and the woman wait impatiently.

The surgery was a success, and the man survived.

The doctor left the room, very emotional and unable to control himself.

She tries to console the family and provide them with emotional help, but they act coldly toward her, burning the flowers she brought.

Cora and her son go to a man that owns the chicken her son found.

She talks with the man about the creature and what it could be, and he just believes it to be a natural death.

Gracie’s young sister tells the vicar that she saw the serpent, and he doesn’t necessarily question her.

She visits the vicar and his family, where she promises to give the girls a science lesson with her fossils.

The doctor finds himself in the newspaper about the open-heart surgery and is extremely proud of himself.

Dr. Spencer checks out the patient, as Dr. Garrett is too distracted by his fame.

Martha expresses her concern for the patient, as she predicts that he won’t be able to leave work and it will jeopardize his recovery.

Cora goes with the vicar to find where he located a kind of fossil.

Cora’s son asks the vicar’s wife if she believes in the serpent, and she tells him she doesn’t know what to believe.

Cora confides in the vicar about her abusive relationship with her deceased husband.

She sees something in the water that intrigues her, and they both get emotional as they look on.

Martha continues to get the company of Dr. Spencer as they visit the patient at his home.

Dr. Spencer vows to pay the rent of the patient, as the patient is unable to work and has lost his job.

Martha invites the patient’s sister to a socialist meeting.

Martha picks Cora up at the train station, and they head to the cottage together.

Cora leaves Martha on her own to talk to the vicar about what they saw in the water/sky.

The vicar is starting to doubt his own theories and asks Cora if she thinks there’s something strange going on.

Some of the members of the parish think that having Cora help is letting the devil in.

The vicar admits to his wife that he is afraid.

A noise awakes the young girl that saw the serpent, and she goes to investigate.

She finds a bird in the house.

The girl thinks it’s a sign that the serpent is coming for her.

Cora tries to give her lesson, but the children give her issues (as does the parishioner with her).

They don’t listen to her and cause a ruckus in the classroom.

A glass bottle falls from a desk, and all the kids in the class turn on the young girl that saw the serpent.

The young girl, Naomi, starts to seize and seems taken by something.

The children all start hissing and then passing out.
