Previously: Lighthouse BnB owner Beth has been unexpectedly visited by an estranged friend, Keira. Over an awkward dinner, Keira tells Beth what's happened since they last met. Not only is Keira a widow, but her late husband was their mutual university friend Wes (who was present at the seance when they communed with the entity claiming to be Gabby). To Beth's disgust, Keira also reveals that she has come to the lighthouse to write a book about spiritualism. Beth investigates a loud thumping noise upstairs, which turns out to be the open bathroom window. Keira claims she never opened it. Next morning, housekeeper Merta tells Keira the story of the ghostly keeper said to be haunting the lighthouse. While Beth tries to stave off an oncoming migraine, Keira tells her that the injured seagull on the widow's walk is now dead.
And in Episode 1, Beth tells Merta that she has been receiving gross calls from "a heavy breather".
