UTL S1E18: Nondominant Pinky

On this episode of Under the Library:

 

Oak Tree carries Jaker as they leave the hospital with Florence and sprint towards the station to catch the train home. Florence ducks into an alley as 4 people on horseback approach. They're led by Sheriff Bullock, who agrees to have "just missed" Oak Tree in thanks for him dealing with Worthington earlier. 

  The three make their train, but Florence realizes she left Jaker's shotgun at the hospital.    Back at Gerald's house Philip cleans Caspar's gun wound, packs it with fabric, and cauterizes it to stop the bleeding as Caspar mutters in his sleep about the great fire. Philip notices a bulge under Caspar's glove and pockets a strange ring with a luminescent stone and familiar language of symbols engraved on the band.    Beau looks at Caspar and he seems familiar. When they read the name Jeremy Potter on his license, Beau immediately realizes that he looks a lot like Florence, but also notices that the man on the ground isn't the man pictured on the license. Beau suggests pushing the man back through the gate and never telling Florence. Harold and Philip convince Beau they should bring the man back to town.   Philip is determined to go through the gate himself. He ties a rope around his waist and gives the other end to Beau, and then extends the pinky of his non dominant hand into the void. Philip is immediately pulled in, and the rope is yanked from Beau's hands.   Philip sees his wife, Ella, in the void, and they speak. He admits to her the true events surrounding her death and is forced to see her and his daughter Emma die over and over in a seemingly endless loop. Through an attempted self-sacrifice the loop is broken and Philip is thrown from the portal, lying unconscious yet inconsolably sobbing.
