Previously
on "Midnight, Texas"...

I'm Patience Lucero.

My husband, Kai, and I
own the hotel.

Healer Kai has a huge following

of the desperate.

This whole psychic connection

doesn't suck.

The hotel will be out
of business in three months.

Ghosts. I've had too much fear.

Kai can't just kiss it better.

I have to leave Midnight,
and I have to do it alone.

I love you.

- Then let me go.
- I know you?

Name's Walker.

Demon hunter.

Welcome home.

I will avenge you.

All right.

Close your eyes.

The pain's gone.

I've been to every specialist
in four states.

How did you do that?

Glad I could help.

Fine, Kai saved Manfred

and we're all grateful.

I guess.

But the guy was talking
to a painting.

I mean, that is weird.

You sleep with a dead man.

We all have our quirks.

Isn't that what Midnight's
all about?

It's late.

I'm gonna go home.

It's okay to miss her.

I'm fine.

Really.

Someone's in trouble.

I need to get in their room.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I'm confused.

Ghosts are real.
Your hotel is haunted.

Well, I know that ghosts
are real, but you can see them?

Unfortunately, yes.
Here, this one.

Quickly.

Come on.

Damn it, he's gone.
I don't understand.

Ghosts can't kill people.

This one can.

- Hi.
- Hey.

They'll do an autopsy,
but it looks like he slipped

and knocked himself unconscious
and drowned.

That's not what happened.

It was a ghost. I saw her.

I thought ghosts
couldn't touch anything,

much less hurt someone.

No, the older
and angrier they are,

the stronger they get.
All right, look,

we need to get
everyone out of here.

- No.
- Kai...

No, we can't afford to shut down

three days after we open.

Well, someone else could die.

Well, I've only seen
the ghost in the one room.

She must be tethered there,
which means

the other guests are safe.
So, what,

we just leave that room empty
indefinitely?

No, I'll do a little digging,

find out what her
unfinished business is,

get her to move on.

Yeah.

All right, thank you.

Least I can do.

You saved my life.

Ooh.

Any idea what happened?

No.

And they were fine yesterday.

Well, that could be part

fan's off.

You know, the last time
things started dying

around here, it was Colconnar.

We defeated Colconnar.

The veil is closed.

Bobo!

- You okay?
- Yeah.

Weird.

I didn't do anything.

It just started up.

Even if it isn't Colconnar,

it could still be
something demonic.

Or...

could be blight.

That's something
that kills plants, right?

Yes.

We'll get to the bottom of this.

Try not to obsess, okay?

Yeah.

I gotta get to work.

All right.

I think I know who she is.

This her?

- Yeah.
- That's Carolyn Baker

and her husband, Bruce.

They bought the hotel
back in the '50s.

How'd she die?

Fell in the bathtub and drowned.

Just like our guest.

She's re-creating her own death.

What happened to her husband?

I've never seen a man so broken.

He closed up the hotel
and moved away.

- I don't know where.
- You know,

before we remodeled,
that was the owner's suite.

They must have lived there.
Makes sense.

She's trapped where she died.

They looked so happy.

And then he lost her
in an instant.

Whoo!

Hey, beautiful.
Let me buy you a drink.

Turn around and walk away.

Hey, I'm new in town.

Can you give me some directions
to...

your bedroom?

Guys, I love this top.

Don't make me
get your blood on it.

Whoa, hey.

Hey, we just want to talk.

Let's go someplace
a little quieter?

You know what?

Yeah.

Let's go somewhere
a little more, um...

- private.
- She's not interested.

Jesus Christ!

What the hell was that?

They were bothering you.
I could feel it.

I can handle a couple
of drunk townies.

I couldn't help myself.

It's okay.

Look, I'm used
to doing things for myself.

But we're married now,

and this whole thing...

That's what couples do, right?

They help each other out.

Okay.

I'll get used to it.

I saw your fangs.

You're a vampire.
Trick of the light.

I knew it.
I knew vampires were real.

I've read "Twilight"
seven times...

Well, the good parts.
Why don't you head home

and make it an even eight?

Will you turn me?

There's no such thing
as vampires.

And trust me,
you don't want to be

anything like me.

No matter what you hear,
don't come in.

- I'll be fine.
- Because the salt

- will protect you?
- Exactly.

Ghosts can't cross
a salt barrier.

Wait here.

Carolyn?

Carolyn Baker, show yourself.

Come on, you know
you can't hurt me.

I just want to talk.

Please, get out of here.

Carolyn, I know your death

was tragic and senseless,

but you can't take it out
on innocent people.

What, you think
I drowned that man?

He's here.

He killed me,
and he'll kill you too.

- Who are you talking about?
- My husband.

Stay away from my wife!

Manfred?

Thanks for not listening to me.

I never listen.

Just ask my husband.

No, it's okay.

It's okay. We're safe.

I-I take it
Carolyn's not moving on?

Carolyn's not the problem.

It's the husband, Bruce.
I thought that Bruce

sold the hotel and moved away.

Looks like hehe drowned her
and then he shot himself.

What?

Well, can you convince him
to move on?

Doesn't exactly look like

the "find peace,
walk toward the light" kind.

I think we need a new plan.

You don't want to be kissing me.

No, I'm just tired.

- You're lying.
- So?

Lies are the foundation
of every happy relationship.

Back at the bar,

I was trying to help.

I know. You're perfect.

You anticipate my every need.

Only a total bitch
would be angry.

But you know what?

I'm a total bitch.

- I'm aware.
- Hey.

There has to be a way
to sever this connection.

There is one.

I turn you into a vampire.

You really want
to have that fight again?

No, we barely survived
the last time.

I...

I just need you to back off.

Ooh.

You pawned this in 1937.

Never thought I'd need it again.

What is it?

Keepsake.

Thanks.

A guy named Walker
called the bar looking for you.

I gave him your cell.
Hope that's okay.

- Um...
- I'm sorry, man.

He knew you were an angel.

I just assumed
you guys were friends.

No, it's fine.

Um, thanks.

- Hi.
- Hi. You were right.

- Hey, babe.
- Colconnar didn't kill

my plants.

I've also ruled out
pixie infestation

and overwatering.

Well, that's great, right?

Well, plants don't just die.

Well, in my experience, they do.

Remember when I told you
not to obsess?

Yeah.

It just didn't work out.

Maybe I can help get
your mind off it.

You're right.

I need to stop obsessing.

And I really should get back

to the shop.

Don't wait up.

I got a shift at the bar later.

Do you ever feel like
you have too many jobs?

No. You want me to stay home?

Be a kept man?

That wouldn't be so bad.

Are you okay?

That was...

close.

The plants, the fan
this morning, now this.

Whatever's happening
is supernatural.

- Feej...
- Bobo, something is trying

to hurt you!

The guests are talking.
We need the spirits gone.

Well, there is a spell
that makes an entire building

- inhospitable to the dead.
- No.

If we perform it on the hotel...

KaiKai, darling,
at least think about it.

There's nothing to think about.

I need balance to do my work.

Life cannot exist without death.

Energy has to flow.
No dead zones and no vacuums.

Well, then I'm out of ideas.

We need the big guns.

We need Fiji.
Fiji's the big guns?

She's cuter than a bug's ear.

Agreed.

But don't piss her off.

Why don't I do that?

Don't you think
you're taking this

just a little bit too far?
I'm just being cautious.

Whiskey.

Double.

Since when did you
start drinking?

Since I got married.

You'll get through it.

You and Olivia...

you're forever.

That's just it...

We're not.

Can I buy you a drink?

You bet your britches you can.

Seat's taken.

I want to apologize
for last night.

I shouldn't have asked you
to turn me into a...

Vampire.

There's no such thing.

Trick of the light.

Got it.

Hey!

- I need 300 bucks.
- For what?

- Merch.
- No.

You know I'm saving
for nursing school.

Yeah, you
and every other stripper.

I'm good with people.

Spend your own money.

Wait, you don't have any.

Well, at least I don't
go shaking...

Hey. End this here.

No problem.

You can find your own ride home.

Sorry about my boyfriend.

He's a real dick.

Rough day?

I had an interview
at Crystal Desert,

but the man there
didn't even give me a chance.

He looked at me
like I was stupid.

I'm not stupid.
Of course you're not.

Rickie says I'm not
classy enough

for a place like that, anyway.

What do you think?

Is this top inappropriate?

I think you look lovely.

Thanks.

I guess it's back
to the Boobie Trap for me.

There'll be other jobs.

It just seemed so perfect.

I want to be a nurse.

It's a healing center.

I was sure I was gonna get it.

Guess Rickie was right.
Just met the guy,

but I'm pretty confident
he's never been right

about anything.

Hey, Lem, you mind closing up?

No problem.

So I did find
a protection potion.

Or I can use one
of those inflatable sumo suits.

Couldn't hurt.

Witches first.

If you want to wait,
I'll close up

and I can see you safely home.

I don't know much

about silver poisoning...

but I don't think you'll be
in any condition to drive.

Finally, you're awake.

Youyou drugged me.

- Why?
- I needed to...

lower your inhibitions

so you'd do what I wanted.

Hey, Daddy.

No.

She drugged you...

and then you leeched her.

Why is she still alive?

It's complicated.

Let me un-complicate it for you.

No, wait.
From what I can gather,

her life has been a series
of blows, one after another.

She thought this was
her way out.

- That's no excuse.
- Her boyfriend's

a 40-year-old DJ.

Still no excuse.

I learned to not kill.

She can too.

Fine.

I won't kill her.

But she is not sleeping
on my couch.

Good thing we have
a psychic connection,

'cause how else would I know
you're angry?

- Fiji?
- Hi.

This an okay time?

Yeah, I could use a distraction.

Well...

we need to banish two ghosts
from the hotel.

Without making it
inhospitable to the dead.

Um...

yeah.

Yeah, I-I know a spell.

How you holding up?

Fine.

Why?

You're a friend. I worry.

Nothing to worry about.

Breakups are hard.

You haven't really
given yourself much time

to grieve.
I don't know that "breakup"

is the right word.
You almost buried her alive

and she moved halfway across
the state to get away from you.

Creek and I
have been through worse.

She asked you to let her go,

and you have to respect that.

Here it is.

So, um, this spell

should untether the spirits
from this world

and force them into the next.

We'll need a goat's heart,
some sage,

and the bones of the dead.

Where are they buried?
There's no record

of Carolyn's funeral,
and no one even knew

that Bruce had killed himself
until his ghost showed up.

So either the remains
are unidentified...

Or never found.

Where did he kill himself?
I don't know.

Bruce isn't much of a sharer.

At least not willingly.

Carolyn...

I need your help.

What are you doing?

He'll kill anyone
who comes near me.

I know, but I need
to understand what happened

when you died.

Enter me.

I'll see what you saw.

Trust me.

Bruce thought I was having
an affair.

He always thought
I was having an affair.

That's why he moved us out here,

- to keep me to himself.
- No!

Don't listen to her.

She's a liar.

Then what's the truth?

I was desperate
to save our marriage.

I thought we could start over
in Midnight,

but she betrayed me...

again.

You want the truth?

I was faithful...
Until we moved here.

I thought, "He'll never believe
I'm not cheating."

Might as well have some fun
with men who don't terrify me."

And for that, I was murdered.

I didn't have a choice.
You were gonna leave me.

You think I wanted to hurt you?

You drowned me in our bathtub!

Yeah, I think you wanted
to hurt me!

I don't have to listen to this.

Enough!

Okay, look, Bruce, I get it.

Sheshe was your world,
and when everything else

was going to literal hell,
you could...

You could still look at her
and...

And feel hope.

You couldn't let her leave.

There was no funeral.
I-I'm guessing the...

The thought of putting her
in the ground

waswas unbearable.

I was gonna send her body
back east to her family,

but I loved her so much,
I couldn't let her go,

so I made sure
we'd be together forever.

You think you're some
romantic hero?

You're a monster!

We have to get her back.

I have to explain.

- You'll help me, right?
- No.

I'm with her.

You're real evil.

You okay?

He was obsessed.

I saw it. I...

I felt everything.

He wanted the two of them
to be entombed in the hotel.

- Together forever.
- Where?

Looked like a...

like a coal room.

A coal room?
We're a certified eco-resort.

There's no coal room here.
But the bones

are in here somewhere.

We have to find them.

Picked up some
cruelty-free blood.

She better be grateful.

Thanks.

A stripper sleeping in.

Who's shocked?

Wake up.

She's gone.

What am I feeling now?

Like killing something.

The old blueprints
should be in here somewhere.

If there was a coal room
back in the day,

this will be the easiest way
to find it.

- Beautiful painting.
- Well, that's been

in my family forever.

And the woman, who is she?

I actually don't know.

I kind of like not knowing.

She can be whoever
I want her to be.

Okay...

here they are.

He took her body
down the stairs...

turned left...

and then left again.

Here. This was the coal room.

That's where the bones are.

You really think
there's been two dead bodies

buried in this hotel
the whole time?

It's Midnight.

There are skeletons
in the closets.

And the walls.

And the floorboards.

Avoiding someone?

Spam.

You know, it's really
impressive, what you've done,

turning this place around.

Thanks, man.

Hey, you okay?

You seem off lately.

I don't know, I guess.

You know, my life was about
hiding from Bowie

for so long, and now...

You need a purpose.

Well, I felt the same way
after I put my past behind me.

Didn't know what to do
with myself.

So you opened the bar.

You just need to find your bar.

Thanks.

Well...

trailer park was a bust.
At least she hasn't killed.

That we know of.

Unless you two have
a psychic connection.

Feeling your rage
is quite enough, thanks.

Well, if you don't like
my feelings,

quit eavesdropping.
Forgive me for the sin

of trying to help you.
I am selfreliant,

and you knew that
when you married me.

Olivia, why?

Why this pathological inability
to accept help?

It's who I am.

No, I want to know.

Why?

Tell me. Because the last person

I let myself rely on
was my stepmother.

- Olivia, I...
- It's...

fine.

Just think.

What else do you know
about Dawnette?

She wants to go back
to school, quit her job.

She hates the club,
the way men treat her there...

That's where she is.

The strip club.

How do you know?

Because it's what I would do.

She's getting revenge.

You're late again.

I'm gonna have to put you
on day shift starting tomorrow.

Hey, honey.

Change your hair?

Changed a lot more than that.

Hello, boys.

You know, I, um...

I couldn't help overhearing
you and Fiji talking.

I didn't know that you
just had a breakup.

It's more of a...

A break than a breakup.
I just thought

because she moved away that...

No, I'm planning
to visit soon, actually.

Be abe a grown-up,
talk things through.

Okay, well, that's good.

Most people give up
when things get hard.

You gotta take the bitter
with the sweet...

even when there's a whole lot
of bitter.

Well, Creek and I aren't done.

I can feel it.

What the hell?

It looks like we're in
the right place.

It's okay. It's okay.

I need you to tell me
what happened here.

I don't know.

It was all so fast,
and nothing made any sense.

Dawnette, sheshe had fangs,

and she bit Sweetness
and Cashmere.

Theythey seemed like
they wanted her to.

It was like they died, right?

But then they got back up?

Cashmere said she wanted
to go after her ex,

but Dawnette said she had
one more stop first.

She hated this place.

Would do anything
to get out of here.

I think I know
where she's headed.

You should be safe
on this side of the line.

Anything happens,
get the hell out.

- You, cleared the hotel?
- Yeah.

Well, some of the staff
stayed behind to lock up.

But the rest of the guests,
we sent them

on a meditation retreat.

Then let's get started.

Guys.

What are you doing?

Serving your eviction notice.

I nailed it shut.
Don't even think about it.

How long's this gonna take?

Longer if you keep pestering me.

- Waswas that...
- Me?

- No.
- Well, it must be

a blown fuse.
Why don't you check

the breaker box downstairs?

All right. Okay.

Be careful. Watch her.

Ignis spiritum liberat.

Ignis spiritum liberat.

- Is he still here?
- Ignis spiritum liberat.

No, you can't separate us.

Carolyn is mine!

Yep, still here.

Can't you just douse it
with lighter fluid

and call it a day?
It is an ancient spell

governing the barrier between
the living and the dead,

- not a barbecue.
- Sure.

- What's he doing now?
- I don't know.

Patience, no!

Manfred!

Leave her alone!

They're trying to separate us.

Good.

Fiji, we'rewe're kind of
running out of time here.

Thank you.

There are secrets
behind the woods.

Nothing's working.

Lyric, nothing's working.

I found a flashlight.

No, please!

I don't want to kill a stripper.

Isn't patriarchy
the real enemy here?

Guess not!

What are you doing?

I had it.

That's not what it felt like.

Where's the other one?

I got this.

Where's Dawnette?

All I wanted was a chance.

You couldn't even give me that.

You came in
for the front desk job.

I know what you thought.

I know what all of you think.

"Not good enough,"
"bimbo," "slut."

- I didn't think that.
- You're just like

all the others.

With them,
I didn't have a choice.

I just had to take it.

But now...

you're the one who's gonna beg.

So you're headed
to Austin now to...

To visit Creek?

Um...

no.

No, sheshe was right.

If I really loved her,
I'd let her go.

I don't want to...
Be like Bruce?

Yeah.

Who knows?
Maybe she'll find her way back.

And what if she doesn't?

Then that's her choice.

God.

I don't understand.

- Bruce couldn't have...
- No.

That was a vampire.

Kai.

I didn't see your pain before.

I didn't, and I'm sorry.

I-I shouldn't have
sent you away.

But I can help you now. Shut up.

- He doesn't deserve this.
- I don't care.

Fine. You don't deserve this.

You can't feel it now,
but you will.

Every death will weigh on you

for the rest of your life.

Like your friends
who you turned.

They're dead?

They tried to kill others.

We had to stop them.

I was so tired
of being insulted...

used, groped.

I just wanted... To be powerful.

I know.

I wanted the same thing.

And when every display
of power you see

comes with cruelty,

you think the two
are inseparable.

They're not.

You wanted to be a nurse.

You can still help people.
I can teach you.

Touching, but no.

We already gave her a chance,
and look where that got us.

No, no, no! No.

No, I-I can cure her.
I can cure her.

Honey, maybe we should talk
about this.

- I can take the vampire out.
- That's not possible.

No, energy is energy.

Is that what you want?

To be human again?

I wish I'd never done any of it.

I-I can't undo the past,

but I can give you back
your future.

The hunger is gone.

You can make supernaturals
human again.

He can turn a vampire
into a human again?

Saw it with my own eyes.

That changes everything.

All of us are here
because some part of us

doesn't fit in anywhere else.

If he can take that part away...

Aren't you tempted?

Give up your powers,
live a normal life?

A year ago...

I would have done it
in a heartbeat.

Not anymore.

This is who I am.

- What about you?
- I'm an angel.

It's a whole different kind
of energy.

I'm stuck like this.

Are you worried
about Kai's intentions?

Olivia still doesn't trust him.

Olivia doesn't trust
the sun to shine.

But that doesn't mean
she's wrong.

A man died because of you.

- I know.
- Because you ran to protect me

instead of taking out
the threat.

- I know.
- That can't happen again.

I can't promise that it won't.

- Lem...
- Olivia.

I feel your every emotion
as if it were my own.

When you're in danger,
every cell in my body

is on fire, screaming
for me to help you.

I know what happened in there
was my fault...

but I can't turn this off,

and I can't ignore it.

I wish I could.

Then I don't know what to do.

See?

Safe as houses.

Looks like the protection
potion's working.

Or there never really was
a threat

and you overreact...

No, I'm sure it was the potion.

Yep.

I don't know.
Maybe I did overreact.

I don't want to lose you
right after

we finally found each other.

Aww, baby.

We had sex
the night you moved in,

and the plants died.

We were making out
at the pawnshop,

and the chandelier fell.
Now this?

So you're saying
that our sex life

is causing me
to have random accidents?

Yes.

- Feej, come on.
- No, no.

No, we can't even touch.

Not until I figure out
how to stop this.

Okay, Sequoia,
what do we have next?

Your next client
has been battling cancer

for the past five years.

There are secrets
behind the woods.

What the hell?
