soon left him and his father. The
first part finds Jack in
France, at a holy place known as Marie-Mere.
Thousands of
people travel there to be healed of life-long ailments,
such
as blindness and paralysis. Asteroth has the book, and tries
to
complete a set of Prophecies. If completed, Satan will
descend to the
Earth and take over. Micki, Ryan, and Johnny
go to help, but not before
Ryan's mother shows up. Ryan is
possessed, and carries out murders for
Asteroth. In trying
to retrieve the book, Jack is pushed over a balcony
and isin
the hospital with a concussion.
In the second part, Ryan is

Asteroth's
wrath.

he was 10, has no
knowledge of the future. He goes home with
his mother, an he is never
mentioned again. There is a
mention of how, when he sees Micki, he makes a
comment about
how pretty she is, and how he had a cousin named Micki,
with
red hair. This is a direct contradiction to the first
episode, which
is the first time the two of them ever met, or
even knew of the others

was not released
unto the world.

Synopsis
This episode opens with Micki and Jack going to an
estate auction in hopes
of recovering a few objects, leaving
Johnny at the store, mourning the
death of his father a few
months ago. When they return, Johnny is watching
a news
segment on unsolved murders where the victims all had a ram's
head
emblazoned on their forehead. Micki freaks and runs
upstairs, leaving
behind a worried Jack and bewildered
Johhny. Jack tells him about Micki's
ordeal with the coin.
The next day, the three of them go to the site of
the
taxidermy shop in which the coven who had possesion of the
coin was
located. Micki decides she can't stick around and
leaves. But Johnny
later goes to the local police
department, where a few of his dad's friends
work. And
although they don't find out until later, two cops had made
a
deal with this dealer for a lot of money, and it ended up
with one of the
cops being shot to death, and the drug dealer
killed by the coin. Johnny
finds out about all of this, and
manages to get the coin back about half
way through the show.
But this is Johnny we're talking about. While Micki
is
sitting in her room, crying, trembling, and writing a letter
to Ryan,
Johnny goes to the graveyard, digs up his father,
and brings him back to
life. But the soul of the last person
to die is transferred into the body
of the newly living.
Johnny doesn't know this, and the last person to be
killed by
the coin was a prostitute, so his father has a certain
feminine
quality to him. Jack finds out what Johnny did, and
told him to "stay out
of their lives." Of course, to me,
this was good news. But then the cops
get the coin back, and
go to the graveyard to resurrect the drug dealer to
find out
where the money was hidden. Jack goes to get the coin back,
and
Micki finally gathers up the courage to go (throughout
the entire episode,
Micki is convinced that the coin is back
to get her, and is paranoid almost
to the point of being
annoying).
Status
Jack is knocked unconscious in the graveyard,
and Johnny, trying to redeem
himself, goes to help. He saves
Micki, who, out of sheer terror, ends up
killing the
previously killed and resurrected cop when he threatens
her
with the coin again. Micki retrieves the coin, and Johnny
uses it to
kill his father again.

blood
is wiped off. The man wants to change the past, and keep his
father
from death by killing the black lawyer who pressed
charges.

the movie for them. When he pushes the woman
into the beam
of light, they are transferred into the movie, and the
woman,
Lili Leta is transferred into real life until the woman dies
at the
end, which is when she must go back. In order to stay
out for good, the
real Lili Lita, an old invalid, must be
killed. Micki comes by questioning
about the reel, and is
shoved into the movie. Lili demands that her
older
counterpart be killed, so the director suffocates her. Lili
leaves
for a while, going to a movie theater where they are
playing her film. She
is shocked to see so many fans, and is
angered by the fact that the
director, her lover, never told
her. She goes back to the house, where she
discovers the
real Lili is alive ("death scenes were always my forte").
Status
The elder Lili is pissed at her hubby, so she
shoots him. Then, she feels
that it is her place to be in
that movie, so she sends herself in, just
before Micki dies.
The younger Lili is exited because she thinks she is

Neil Munro............... Marquis de Sade
Vlasta Vrana............. Webster Eby
Paul Jolicoeur........... Latour
Christa Danile........... Larissa
Nancy Cser............... Contessa
Synopsis
A sadistic professor receives a painting from his
father's will. It is a
"Double-Fac" (French for two sided)
which was once painted by the Marquis
de Sade in prison.
This was not one of Lewis' cursed objects. It carried
a
curse of it's own. The professor would kidnap a young woman,
and torture
her in his attic, where the painting was located.
The painting had been
painted on a blood base, instead of
oil, so to gain entry, you must put
blood on your fingertips,
opening a sort of "time portal" into 1790, and
the Marquis'
dungeon. For every person sent through to 1790, another
was
admitted back to the present, though they come back dead.
Micki,
waiting outside a house across the street from the
professor's, notices him
carrying a rolled carpet, and arm
dangling out of one end. Micki follows
them inside, and
becomes involved in a struggle with the professor.
Unknowing
about the paintings powers, she touches it with bloody
fingers
and falls through. Once in 1790, she dresses up as a
French duchess, and
feels drawn to the Marquis. Until she
finds out who he really was. Then,
in an effort to find a
way home, she acts brave to the thought of Marquis'
tortures.
Before anything can happen, she writes a letter, explaining
how
the painting works in case she doesn't make it. The
Marquis discovers she
is not really the duchess, so he chains
her up and is going to torture her,
when Johnny falls though
the painting, freeing Micki, and sending someone
back out.
Jack, still in the present, kills the professor, takes the
blood,
and smears it on the painting.
Status
Jack pushes the two dead bodies into the
painting, allowing entrance to the
present for Micki and
Johnny. They make it back alive because they were
from the
present, and could handle the journey. The painting is
returned
to the vault, and when down there, Micki notices the
writing box in which
she had written the letter, which was
still there. The box had been
cursed, but she didn't kill
anyone for it.
