UTL S1E16: Phil Makes a Meat Sock

On this episode of Under the Library:

In the reception area of the hospital, Florence seeks medical care for an unconscious Jaker. Dr. Goodfellow, aloof and brusque, questions Jaker's ability to pay for his services, and Florence presses him to at least listen to Jaker's recent medical history. He speaks condescendingly about the quality of medical care in Bloodstone, giving Jaker a bad prognosis and advising Florence to pray. She departs for Goodwell House (the asylum) and feels uneasy as if someone is watching her.  

Back at Gerald Morenson's house, Harold, Beau, and Philip flee the house as it shudders and begins to collapse. Once things settle they decide to go back in to rescue Quentin from the basement. Philip cuts small cube-shaped pieces from Gerald's corpse to bait the animals (calling the flesh "food" and pocketing some). Philip then makes a "meat sock", tying a rope of intestine to a flesh cube and lowering it down the hatch (with no response from below).

  Beau calls down to Quentin and hears nothing in response, so he and Harold descend, leaving Philip upstairs to keep watch. The basement is filled with debris and the tunnel on the right is entirely blocked off. As Beau yells again, he hears a soft "hello" in response, but the voice is unfamiliar. At this point Philip joins them in the basement and they question the mystery voice, learning that he's disoriented, possibly in shock, and thinks it's 1941.    In the meantime, in Deadwood, Florence arrives at Goodwell House to visit her sister Rosemund. Rose is seated on the edge of the bed, gazing out the window, and doesn't turn when Florence enters. Florence learns that she's staring "at the stars" (although it's midday) and she claims she can't see Florence, but instead senses a darkness around her. Rose shares a vision of her grandmother giving her tea with lomava and chanting as she drank. She repeatedly asks Florence to wear the pendant she made her, and demands that Florence destroy books to banish the darkness.   Back at Gerald's house, Harold and Beau approach the stranger, who asks if they have flashlights. The hall opens into a cavernous room and they see a man shielding his face from their torchlight. Behind him is a giant hole in the wall. When Beau tells him the year is 1892, he shouts "By George, we've done it!".    Behind them, Philip hears an alluring sound that seems to call him into the room. He blocks out the noise, using flesh bits as ear plugs, but peers into the cavern and seems to see his family inside the giant hole.
