S4 E4 “First Impressions”

S4 E4 “First Impressions” Dwight is worried when a new Reverend for the Good Shepard Church comes into town. As the town gets angrier than usual, Audrey is distracted when she runs into James.

Previously on Haven;

The small town of Haven Maine is home to people with troubles, supernatural abilities that they can not control. Former FBI Agent, Audrey Parker turned Detective, and her partner Nathan Warnous help the troubled and save the town from the fallout of these abilities. And in their three years working together they have fallen in love, but things are complicated...

Reverend Driscoll declared war against the troubled, riling up the church congregation to kill troubled people for him. Yet to protect a teenage girl, who the Rev. was going to kill, Audrey killed the Rev. instead. (S2 E10 of the Original Show on Syfy)

Dwight, the new Police chief belonged to a group called the guard, a group of troubled people who protect those who are troubled. Dwight's trouble is that he's a bullet magnet. (S2 Original)

Audrey and Nathan have a son, James, who was born in the 1960s after Nathan, caught in a time-travel trouble, ended up with Sarah, who Audrey was in 1960s Haven (S3E9 Original). James was tragically killed in the 80s so Lucy, who Audrey was in the 80s left him in the supernatural place called "the barn" to heal. But when the barn returned a few months ago, he was stabbed by his serial killer wife. Agent Howard, the keeper of the barn, said it was where he belonged and revealed to Audrey, she could stop the troubles if she killed someone she loved. (S3E13 Original) Audrey wasn't sure what to do but knew she had to kill Nathan, so she shot him in the head. But then Nathan rose from the dead and can now cure people of their troubles...But he still has his trouble, he still can't feel (which he inherited from his father). And he doesn’t remember his life with Audrey or his love for her. He only remembers up through college. Audrey wishes he would remember her, remember how much they cared for each other. (S3E13 Rewrites) And she has a bad feeling, something very bad is coming. This is confirmed when someone is murdered, with a fan mark on her body. Audrey knows that symbol, it's from a past life, and it terrifies her.

Teaser

In front of the police station, Nathan is flirting with some attractive women. He brags about how he's a detective on the force. Audrey sighed, not pleased. But she passes by him on her way inside.

Audrey enters the chief’s office. She was summoned. In the chief’s office, Dwight tells Audrey that a new Reverend is coming for the Good Shepard Church and the guard is worried, he’s worried. The Reverend had the most power in this town and used it against the troubled. Vince and Dave can’t seem to find any information on him. “Really that’s not like them?” Audrey says, “They couldn’t blackmail any of the congregation.” “The church is being really tight-lipped about it,” Dwight says. “Check it out for me.” She reminds him she killed Reverend Driscoll. Dwight says, "that makes it more important for you to go and play nice." She objects saying she should take the trouble cases. He tells her to go, the guard wants to check this Sam Lewis out. “It is Sunday so go to the service and be nice. Let me know if he’s a threat.” Audrey comments, “If I’m going to go, I’m getting real coffee on the way.”

A woman is upset her husband is making him late to church again, it’s the Reverend’s first day they don’t want to be late. They bicker, and the china sitting in the cabinet inexplicably rattles.

Audrey walks up to Joe’s coffee and sees James, her son. He is serving coffee. Surprised to see him she calls him by name. He asks her if she knows him--he doesn’t remember her or his life, and he wants to know who he is. Audrey pauses unsure what to say. She'll sound crazy if she tells a man who looks around the same age as her that she's his mother.  And it will be even worst to tell him she left when he was a baby, then he was murdered mysteriously over 20 years ago, and killed again just a few months ago by his serial killer wife and is somehow back...so instead she says, “I knew your mother.” When his boss tells him to get back to work, he asks her to come back after the lunch rush. She agrees. She stares at him as he goes. Then her phone rings, Nathan is waiting for her.

Audrey and Nathan drive up to the church. They get out of the car both dreading going inside. They walk into the service. People stare at them upset. A tall young woman with a feminine muscular build and silver blond hair welcomes them by name. The same woman goes up to the pulpit and begins introductions, thanking everyone for being there. Sam, the new Reverend is a woman.

Act I

As Sam preaches her first Sermon starting with, “There was a great man in the eyes of God who took up violence in God’s name. He knew the word of God, the Torah, and people were corrupting it. So he pulled these people from their houses and stoned them.” This makes Audrey nervous. She's worried that Sam will incite the townspeople to take up violence against the trouble like Rev. Driscoll did. Sam continues, “Then this man met Jesus on the road to Damascus. He stopped killing. Instead, he preached. He preached words of community. That is what we know him best for. That’s when he became a great man of God. This was Paul’s journey. In his letter to the Romans, a city of pagans, he addresses them as a friend. I am going to read Romans Chapter 1:8-15.

Dwight is called to a crime scene where there’s another murder, the death of another person, with the fan mark on his body. Officer Stan asks if he should call Audrey. Dwight says, she can wait, this isn’t going anywhere and tells them to process the scene saying, “We need to find a connection between these victims.”

Back at the Church Sam ends her Sermon, saying; “Paul was a murderer of Christians, of humans, all of which are made in the image of God. Yet he was forgiven. And God used Paul to share his message of love. None of us come to God perfect, without any regrets. I certainly don't. But the good news of the Gospel is with God we can all be forgiven. We can serve God like Paul did by being in community, talking with people, caring for them. We can do this strengthened by the Holy Spirit. Let it fill you, listen to the Spirit, pray without ceasing, as Paul did. I will, knowing like Paul, we are obligated to the Greek as well as the barbarian. Obliged to those who are normal as well as those who are troubled.”

Sitting in a pew Nathan, who is normally very emotionless, is crying tears of joy. The room is still. Some people nod, tears stream down their cheeks, some are angry. It makes Audrey uncomfortable. Sam announces the next hymn, Amazing Grace. They begin to sing “Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound.” The tears of the congregation continue.

Afterward, outside the church Audrey asks Nathan to keep an eye out as she stands in the line to talk to Sam. Nathan walks around. Audrey witnesses Sam’s interactions with the parishioners. One of the parishioners is grateful she came, saying “that was wonderful. Thank you for your persistence in begging us to hire you”. Sam chuckles tears in her eyes, “you’re welcome.” Some of the parishioners are extremely pleased feeling guilty for their actions. She gives them an immense amount of grace. To the side some parishioners are not happy, they argue. Led by the woman who was almost late, the angry group goes to the Reverend. She yells at the Reverend about how inappropriate that was, the troubled are God forsaken and don’t deserve God. Sam confronts her, “None of us deserve him that's what's so wonderful about God.” The woman argues, “you can’t let them in here.” The woman says pointing to Audrey and Nathan. Audrey places her hand on her gun, preparing herself. “They killed Reverend Driscoll?” A man shouts. Sam interrupts, “Reverend Driscoll was not a perfect man, he lost his way, forgot he was bound by the law just like everyone here.” As Sam speaks people listen, “God is God of all, since there is only one God, and anyone who comes to God or this church is welcomed with their faith.” The group upset stands angrily. Sam looks to them with compassion, “You too are loved. I encourage you to mingle with those here and praise God’s forgiving love together.” Some of them leave, but the angry woman keeps her eye on the Reverend. Her husband comes over and tries to get her to come. Someone utters under their breath, “that’s what happens with a woman Reverend.” The wife pulls her hand from her husband angry and storms off. To the side, they share bitter words.

Nathan continues to walk around flirting with girls, who say they always thought he was cute, “but Reverend Driscoll wouldn't have it" Audrey sighs annoyed as she waits in the greeting line to talk to Sam.

Duke at his Resturant, the Gull by the docks, overlooks things and notices there are a lot of cancelations for that night. The hostess explains there’s a big thing going on at the church apparently it’s going to be good. Duke’s disappointed saying the place will be empty. The hostess asks if they should just close, but he says, “no leave it open – just in case.”

At the Church, Nathan goes into the car with the pretty girls and Audrey says, “so much for having my back.” Just then Audrey makes her way to the head of the greeting line. Audrey complements Sam on the message. Sam thanks Audrey, by name, and offers her assistance if she can ever help with things. Audrey, taken back by this forwardness, asks Sam how she knew about the troubles. Sam’s explains, “My father grew up in Haven. Told me stories so I would never come back, but they’re my people, and I couldn’t leave them without a Shepherd, so when I heard about the death of Reverend Driscoll, I begged them to hire me. It took a while but…” Sam leans in and whispers, “No one else wanted the job. I wonder why.” Audrey chuckles. She knows it's because the town has too many deaths in a small town in Maine. Just then the woman who made the fuss, her husband punches another man. Sam goes to break it up, and they turn on her. She’s knocked down.

Act II

Audrey and Sam break up the fight. Sam has a gash by her eye. A church member who is a paramedic offers to clean it.

Inside the church, the paramedic patches Sam up. Audrey sits by her telling her, “she appreciates what she’s trying to do, but she has made enemies.” “I’m not here to make friends.” She says, “Just speak Truth.” “I’m going to put an officer on you,” Audrey says. Sam refuses. “No, if you haven’t noticed they don’t like cops. It’ll make me unapproachable.” Audrey insists, “You’re not safe.” “It doesn’t matter,” Sam says. But Audrey doesn’t feel comfortable leaving her, she sighs, “okay, let me make a call.” She goes to call Duke and asks him to watch her saying a beautiful newcomer, a young woman is in danger and needs his protection. Duke agrees--he doesn’t have anything better to do.

Audrey comes back to Sam, “I asked Duke Crocker to come by and check on you.” “Shadow me, you mean?” Sam says. Audrey confirms this and Sam says, “That will do, thank you.”  Audrey continues saying, “You could save him,” adding, “you know from hell.” Sam turns to her, “I don’t save people,” Sam says. Audrey's shocked, “What?” Sam nods, “I teach people that if we depend on God’s guidance we can save the world, isn’t that what you do, save the world every time you speak with a troubled person about their trouble.” Taken back Audrey nods, “Yeah,” she says. Sam continues, “Well if you ever need an ear, I’m here.” Audrey is impressed and thanks her.  She sits in the pew and Sam sits beside her. 

Meanwhile at the police station the phone rings. Dwight sends Stan out on a domestic disturbance call.

Duke walks up to the church. He arrives and sees Audrey and Sam are talking, “Then I found out he was my son and Nathan’s son.” Duke enters, the women stop talking. Duke interrupts, “So, I’m here. Where do you need me?” He sees Sam and smiles, “Oh I do hope you’re the pretty woman I’m here to protect.” He smiles at her. She smiles back and says, “You can call me Sam.” An older woman comes up to Sam calls her “Reverend Lewis” Duke shocked says, “Reverend?” questioning it. She’s too hot to be a Reverend. Sam says “Yes. I’m the New Reverend. Sam Lewis.” and she looks to the other woman. Duke looks at Audrey, annoyed. Audrey smirks--yes she tricked him, but it wasn't exactly a lie. The older woman continues, asking Sam if she can help with the heavier boxes. Sam agrees and offers Duke’s services. Audrey smiling gleefully thanks him. He reluctantly follows Sam.

On her way back to the station Audrey’s on the phone with Dwight, who is at the police station. Audrey tells him that Sam is alright, I think the guard will like her. Dwight is surprised it’s a she. Audrey feeling vulnerable says, “I shared way too much with her. I think she can make anyone do anything.” Dwight is worried about Audrey asks if she’s alright. “Yeah.” She says, “Yeah um. She’s actually pulling for everyone to get along.” Dwight’s happy about that, says he’ll let Vince know it’s a she. “Maybe that’s why they couldn’t get information on her.” Audrey tells Dwight, “there’s something else...James is in town.” Dwight is speechless. Audrey asks for the rest of the day off. Dwight gives it to her gladly.

In the church Duke and Sam actually get along pretty well as they set up tables. He thinks she’s tough for how much a beating she took when he sees the cut on her face. She shares stories about backpacking through Europe and being imprisoned in China.

Vince and Dave, two older men/bickering brothers are also checking up on the Reverend, and they’ve discovered that she was imprisoned in China, there she was able to cast out evil spirits and apparently worked miracles and made a miraculous escape. Dave chuckles saying we could certainly use some of that here. They are pleased with her. They want to do an expose on her.

Just then Audrey enters the Harold, nervous about talking to James. They are surprised he’s in town. But she’s more nervous. She asks the guys for advice.

The phones are ringing like crazy at the police station. People are angry. It’s a bunch of domestic dispute calls. Dwight knows a trouble has to be involved and asks to get Nathan in there. He doesn’t want to bother Audrey.

Nathan sits in the Haven country club with the church girls having brunch. He’s bored.

At Joe’s coffee, Audrey approaches James, it’s awkward. She orders a coffee from the waitress. She doesn’t know what to say to James. He breaks the silence; “I’m sorry if I don’t remember you, I woke up one morning and I couldn’t remember my life. The doctors insist I was in an accident.” Like a concerned mother, Audrey asks, “What happened?”. He says, “I don’t know, but there was a gash in my side when I was found.” As the coffee comes, Audrey asks, “So how did you end up in Haven?” When James says, his boss recommended it Audrey questions. He has a boss? James explains he worked on website design, “but I don’t know how to do it now so…” As she takes the coffee to her lips, she asks if he was ever married “No.” He says. Audrey pulls down the coffee, it’s too hot to drink. When Audrey asks if she can meet his boss, James says, “Sure, he’s coming this afternoon.” Audrey's so surprised she spills her coffee all over his hand. But though it's scalding, he doesn’t feel it. “You can’t feel pain?” she says. “No,” he says, “after the accident I couldn’t feel anything. They say it will never come back, but I’m getting used to-.” Just then agent Howard shows up, and James introduces him as his boss, “Stephen, Stephen King from Jersey.” It's Audrey's Agent Howard the keeper of the magical place called "the barn." 

Act III

In the coffee shop, Audrey stares at James’ boss--a man she knows under a different name when a physical fight breaks out at the register. James goes over to help. When James is gone, Audrey says to the man she knows as Howard, “What are you doing?” He responds, “Isn’t this what you wanted, him to have a life.” “Yes,” Audrey argues, “but you said that the barn was his home.” He nods and offers a caveat, “until you shot Nathan, your sacrifice changed everything.” Audrey questions demanding to know, “What did you do to Nathan? Will he ever remember? How does he cure people?” Howard calmly replies, “I cannot give you all the answers, any more than I could tell you that Nathan would rise, you needed to believe he would die, be willing to lose him for things to work. This path is a process, not a destination.” James then gets back, “Sorry.” James apologizes for being gone, “I’ve been breaking up fights all afternoon.” Audrey questions, “All day?” She's concerned. “Ever since church got out?” James responds. Agent Howard/Stephen King knows what this means. He turns to Audrey, “You have to work?” Audrey sighs disappointed, “We’ll talk later.” She promises James. “Yeah, no problem.” He says very politely, "I'm just glad someone knows something."

On her way from Joes she looks to her phone and notices reports that fights have broken out all over town. She walks into the police station.

At the station, Nathan is there. Nathan is on his way out. He suspects the trouble belongs to the woman who yelled at Sam. That started the fighting. Audrey agrees and heads out with Nathan.

At the woman’s house. Audrey and Nathan find the woman on the ground, dying. She admits she was killed by her husband. She dies. Audrey calls it in, thinking that means it’s over.

Back at the station, the fighting continues. Cops pull in people, and jail cells are full of angry people. The phones continue to ring. Dwight says it’s not the woman since the fighting is continuing and getting worse.

Audrey and Nathan think about that morning and wonder if the husband might be the one troubled. Nathan “I’ll get Stan to pull his financials.” Nathan pulls out his phone. Audrey nods, “I’m glad to see you’re a cop again.” “What was I before?” He questions holding back on dialing. Audrey comments, “A horny teenager.” Nathan argues, “They were just nice to me. I was just being nice back.” Nathan says, he dials and puts the phone to his ear. Audrey, unconvinced, walks away as they head out.

At the Good Shepard Church, the older woman and her helpers leave to get ready for the party that night. Duke remains with Sam who. Together they get out trash cans. Duke helps.

Outside the church, angry people start to approach with guns. They start shooting things up.

Inside the main room, the food gets shot up. Duke and Sam take cover in her office. When Duke pulls out a gun to shoot back Sam won’t let him shoot anyone. Duke reluctantly agrees and calls Audrey. Audrey explains it’s an anger trouble. Over the phone, Sam says she has an idea.

Act IV

Dwight shaking his head utters. “I don’t like this” as they put him in a bulletproof suit. He’s not happy but agrees, “let’s get this over with.” They place a helmet over his head. "Bullet proof glass," Nathan says reassuring him.

Nathan and Audrey take Dwight out on the back of his truck. They pull up behind the church. The group with guns surrounds the church. In park, Audrey reeves the engine. The group turns to them making a space. Audrey puts the truck in drive and reves the engine. The space widens just enough for her as the crowd runs to the sides. Audrey pulls up onto the church lawn. The people with guns aim and fire at the truck. With Dwight out by the church all the bullets hit him, or rather the suit. As the gunman look around confused Duke comes out holding Sam in his arms, blood all over her. The people with guns calm down and pull their guns down.

Audrey and Nathan race out of the truck and find the man who killed his wife. He’s crying. Nathan goes to him to cure him, but suddenly everyone is mad at Nathan. All the people pull their guns back up. They aim at Nathan. And Dwight’s bulletproof glass in the helmet he wears is cracking. He hears the chocking of guns and says, “oh no.” Suddenly someone cries out, “Stop!” to the man who killed his wife. He turns to his surprise its Sam, she’s alive and standing beside him. “You’re troubled Zachary, your anger killed your wife. That doesn’t make you any less to God. God still loves you.” He cries and falls to his knees. She places her hand on his head. The people holding guns slowly walk up to Sam and put the guns down at her feet. Nathan and Dwight are safe.

Tag

As Sam stands by the church wishing the last of the people goodbye Duke walks up to her and comments, “what kind of Reverend has a bag of fake blood in her desk drawer?” “A Haven Reverend,” she says. Duke nods. Sam sighs, “I should let the others know there won’t be a party tonight.” “Don’t,” Duke says stopping her. “You can have it at the Gull.” “You’re sure?” Sam asks. “Who doesn’t like a party?” Duke says. Sam leans towards him, “Maybe you should come to one of my services.” “Don’t push it,” Duke says. She laughs, “thank you.” She says. Duke nods.

Zachery thanks Nathan for curing him and apologizes. Nathan nods. Dwight makes sure that he won’t tell anyone as he pulls him away in cuffs (for killing his wife, something Zachery knows he has to pay for). Nathan walks away saddened. Audrey can tell Nathan’s upset. She talks to him. He’s frustrated he can’t cure himself. Audrey tells him to give himself time.

Vince and Dave bicker about spying on James. They agree to simply head over to the coffee shop and see if he’s there. James is there closing. He apologizes saying everyone’s at the party at the Gull. They invite James to join them as they’re on their way. James thanks them and says, “I think I will.” Implying he wasn’t going to go originally.

At the party as everyone gathers celebrating the Reverend's arrival Nathan sees James, he goes to him and presses his hands against his cheeks saying James, James it’s you. James in his effort to get away from him hits his head on a post in the Gull, it hurts, and he exclaims it. Nathan asks him if he’s okay. James sensing his head hurts realizes he can feel and shouts that he reaches out ecstatic to feel the table, chairs, and other people. He turns to Nathan and says, “You cured me. You cured my trouble.” Suddenly the crowd turns to Nathan. They all want to be cured too, they start to draw in on them crushing them...

Teaser

A mom, with a baby in the cart, and a three year old child by her side checks out at a grocery store. She takes her cart to the car and loads the car. As she takes the baby out of the cart a woman looks at her only to the baby and she’s annoyed. She places the cart in the cart drop off, running into another women’s cart. The woman jumps. The mom says sorry, quietly and leaves. The woman looks back and sees no one.

At Nathan's place Nathan and Audrey argue. It’s been awhile and Nathan still doesn’t remember who he is. Audrey wants him to try. He’s frustrated wants answers about what happened to him, she simply tells him he was shot. He tells her to leave him alone, he can’t remember and he can’t help. He’s given up. Audrey leaves.

Audrey goes to the police station there she runs into Willow who is creating a database for all the troubled people. She thanks her again. She tells Dwight Nathan’s status. He’s there in the chief's office helping out she thanks him for lending a hand and asks him to be chief, since Nathan is supposed to be chief and Dwight has a relationship with the guard. He reminds her about how he’s a bullet magnet. She hands him a Taser. When she leaves he asks her where she’s going. She says “to see the other Audrey Parker. She must have found the barn, maybe she’s remembered something about it or knows something about the mark.” Dwight agrees, tells her to take Stan. She tells him she’s already asked Duke, since he found her. Dwight nods in approval.

Act I

On the drive Duke and Audrey talk about what’s going to happen. All the real Audrey knows about is that they’re going to be in town and wanted to say hello. They decide to play it casual.

Audrey goes to Audrey’s, the real one (RO). She opens the door and welcomes them. Duke asks her how she is and she says okay thanking him again for finding her.

Inside RO’s place Brad, Duke, and Audrey sit. Audrey, from Haven, asks her if she remembers anything. “No”, she says, “nothing from my stay in Haven except you being really nice to me and Brad coming”. Then Brad comments on her name being the same asking for her last name. Duke says “Ripley”. “Oh, for a minute I thought you were going to say Parker, that’s one of the reasons I was in Haven so long, to find out who was impersonating me. So they tell me.” RO says. Duke asks “Did they ever find her, the woman impersonating you?” She shakes her head, “No, but I’m Audrey Rogers now.” Audrey and Duke congratulate her on getting married. Duke passes Audrey a look and she confirms – he should get Brad out of the room so she can talk with RO privately. Duke asks to use the restroom and to get Brad out of the room so Audrey can talk to RO alone. “If you want to tell me something without Brad here?” Audrey shakes her head, “No, Brad and I don’t have any secrets, I really don’t remember anything.” RO turns to the kitchen awkward and offers Audrey something to drink.

At the police station, someone asks for the chief, specifically wants the chief to come over to their house because something strange is going on. Dwight takes the call and goes over to the man’s house, but the man had wanted Nathan they grew up together in grade school. Dwight tells him Nathan’s not available, he’s recovering from an injury but he’ll help him. The man explains the situation and yells at the crying baby, as they are talking the baby disappears. Dwight then wonders if this could be his trouble – making those he’s upset with disappear he takes him into the police station and asks Stan to take the kids. The man is saddened insisting he didn’t do anything.

Audrey had asked Dave and Vince to check up on Nathan, which they fight about before they have him for lunch at the newspaper. However the lunch is really a ploy; with newspaper clippings Vince and Dave try to help him remember. Nathan is annoyed that all people want from him is to remember who he is and heal the troubled but he doesn’t know how or what he can do.

At the police station in the interrogation room Dwight asks the man if he had a fight with his wife recently. Yes, he says, they’ve had money problems and with four kids it’s hard. But I didn’t do anything he says thinking they’re thinking he killed or abused her.

Nathan wanting to escape from Vince and Dave makes his way out of the Harold’s restroom window and goes to the police station where the friend from grade school now sitting outside the interrogation room in cuffs asks for his help. But Nathan doesn’t remember him.

Act II

In the police station the man says they were friends in grade school until the troubles started the last time, and he’s sorry he didn’t stay his friend things were…strange he says in great detail reminding Nathan what happened then, the story of how he broke his arm sledding and kept on going. Nathan remembers. Nathan remembers the man defended him in middle school. The man says he always wanted to be nicer and he’s ashamed he didn’t do more. Dwight’s encouraged that Nathan remembers so he lets them talk as he checks on the man’s alibi.

At Audrey’s, the real one, Duke, Brad, and the Audrey’s are chatting about Audrey’s time in Haven (leaving out any of the troubles) they laugh and Brad says “that sounds like Audrey”. Then the real Audrey asks “you’re not here to talk about this?’ The fake Audrey says, “No we’re not.” First Audrey, the fake one, asks her about the mark on the body, wondering if she’s ever seen anything like this before in any previous cases. She looks at it and says no, but I can check for you. She still works for the FBI. She questions if this is the only reason they came. Duke confesses, “No”. Audrey, the fake one says a man has lost his memories in the same place they found her and they’re wondering if the two cases are related.

Brad asks Audrey not to press because most likely something traumatic happened and she shouldn’t remember. Audrey, the real one, holds him back saying it’s my choice I want to help. Brad is still concerned but he backs down. Audrey, the real one asks how she can help. Audrey suggests regression therapy.

Dwight at the police station has checked up on the wife, using her credit card information he finds she was at the store after her husband talked to her on the phone so it’s not his trouble. He wasn’t anywhere near her since then. He was on a conference call with work so he couldn’t have done it. They send him home with his kids. Nathan goes with him.

Vince and Dave having checked on Nathan in the bathroom and realizing he’s gone say “they really need to get that window sealed”.

Nathan is at the house where the husband is with his kids. Nathan questions him to see if it’s a trouble asking if anything traumatic has happened in his wife’s life recently. He learns her brother just died so this being her trouble is defiantly a huge possibility. As Nathan and the man are talking they lose the three year old as well. They’re afraid the other children will start to disappear. They frantically start looking.

Act III

The real Audrey, Audrey Rogers, gets comfortable on the bed as Brad watches. As the Audrey from Haven asks for quiet.  Audrey gets into the regression telling Mrs. Rogers that she’s in a white room. It immediately takes her to the inside of a barn. Audrey asks her what she sees. Audrey, the real one remembers a man. Audrey, the fake one asks if this man is African American when Audrey says no, he was white with brown hair but I can’t make out his face she says and what the audience sees is a blurry photo. He said, “You’ve never come this close before.” Then when he came up close he said, “You’re not her.” He was disappointed like he wasn’t expecting me. The scene plays out in her memory. “You shouldn’t be here” he tries to get her out. She wouldn’t leave until she had her questions answered. Then “I” she pauses. It gets back to Audrey, the real one, on her bed. “I don’t remember what happened.” Audrey, the fake one says, what’s the next thing you remember? I think I left and then. She then starts to panic. Brad gets upset. Audrey, the fake one, pulls her out of regression therapy.

In Haven, in the house Nathan and the father, as they are searching for the three year old, in the backyard as well as the kitchen watch as the diner starts cooking bowls floating on their own. Nathan figures out that the man’s wife is invisible and checks the bedrooms, the children were simply put down for their naps. They try to communicate with the woman but they can’t seem to. She continues to make dinner. Suddenly the dishes crash – something is wrong but they don’t know what. Nathan realizes they need Audrey, maybe she’ll be able to see her with her immunity. They call Audrey.
 

In Boston, Audrey, the fake one, gets a text. She tells Brad and Audrey RO, “we don’t want to put her in danger, we’ll have to find another way to get answers.” Duke is about to object when she shows him the text, they need to get back to Haven, she explains.
 

At the house in Haven, the husband feels helpless as they continue to try and talk to the wife.

Audrey realizes that’s her problem. Audrey tries to help Nathan so he can cure her but he can’t see or touch her to do it. Instead Audrey talks to her and gets her to stop feeling invisible by translating for the husband and children’s words, it works a little enough for Nathan to touch her, but it doesn’t make her completely visible, they don’t understand why. Audrey continues to translate for the husband, the women then feels like she’s seen again. And the husband promises never to treat her like she’s invisible again not at all scared by her trouble.

Nathan didn’t cure that women again he’s not sure he can cure everyone but he feels like himself again he was a good cop and solved the case, finding the children in their beds. Dwight’s glad he’s back but he still doesn’t remember Audrey, which Audrey is saddened by.

When Audrey and Duke get back to the Gull Duke says, “Maybe it’s okay if he doesn’t remember. What’s Nathan’s going to say when he remembers you shot him?” She doesn’t say anything but looks discouraged. Duke says “you could always leave him for someone better”. She turns to him and smirks, saying “Duke” an apologetic look in her eyes. She has to turn him down. He nods, “I know I’m crushed but I know.” Then Duke says, “If you love him you have to love the Nathan that he is now, isn’t that what love is?” She asks him, “When did you get so smart?”.  He says, “I’ve always been this way you just never noticed.”
 

In a pow wow Dave and Vince know It’s a problem that Nathan couldn’t cure her because he’s not immune to the troubles. It was impossible, we still don’t know how this works, Vince says.

Episode Two

Painted on a wall is a giant version of the circular tattoo, a shrine in front of it. Chanting in a foreign language is heard as a hand scatters smoke around.

In the forest, a woman is running terrified.

At the Herald Newspaper, Audrey is showing Nathan articles of their cases to try and help him remember who he is. Vincent is trying to get him to remember how to heal. They are both being too pushy and Nathan doesn’t like it, feels like he’s being used so he walks out.

A young man, Brent Buckley is found dead in his camping tent. Claw marks all over him. His camping group is shocked. Audrey questions them and Dwight shows up to help. Audrey learns that Shelby, a young woman in the camping group found the body, inside a zipped tent. Looking at the tent they find claw marks inside the tent that scratch their way out not in as evident by the paw prints facing outward. Dwight identifies the print as a mountain lion. Someone turned into a mountain Lion, was in that tent that clawed Brent and his way out. Brent’s father is at the crime scene and overhears Dwight say this is a trouble. He gets mad at Shelby and Ryan, the others who was there. He tells them this is their fault, they were supposed to keep him from those freaks. Audrey is going to talk to him but Dwight won’t let her since he’s a follower of Reverend Driscal and bitter that Audrey killed him (to protect a troubled girl). Audrey’s surprised people are still followers of Driscal since he’s been dead over a year.  Dwight says, “It gets worse the Good Shepard Church is saying they found a new Reverend to replace him.” They both know that could be bad, since Driscal and his parishioners stirred up violence against the troubled. Dwight takes the father aside to talk to him.

Just then Ryan and Shelby realize that another member of their camping group is missing, their friend Willow. They thought she went home but realized she didn’t. Everyone goes into high gear, there’s a missing member of the camping party.

Act I

Officers canvas the forest looking for Willow, a woman with dirty blond hair.

Nathan comes to help Audrey search putting their disagreement aside for the sake of this girl. Audrey reveals Willow may have a trouble, some kind of turn into an animal thing like Native American folk lore and she’s already killed someone.

Brent’s Father Mr. Buckley is searching too, with some of his church buddies, who don’t seem interested in rescuing her as they hold onto their guns.

Audrey is worried about her, Nathan knows they have to find her first. They search together and she lets Nathan lead. He says they should search by the road because that’s where he would go.

By the road Audrey and Nathan find Willow, the same woman who was being chased at the beginning. She is on the edge of the road collapsed, exhausted and dehydrated. They send her to the hospital. And Nathan’s on the case with Audrey again.

Late that night Audrey is in her pajamas, Nathan enters her place he knows who she is and he missed her. They kiss only for a mysterious woman, with auburn hair and cheekbones like Audrey to pull Nathan away and kill him as Audrey stands frozen unable to do anything. Audrey sits in the corner terrified. The corner turns into a forest and she hides between rocks as the woman calls out to her. Audrey is a little girl of about three years and the woman finds her and pulls her out by her hair. But then Audrey lying in bed wakes up panicked shaking.

The next day Audrey and Nathan go and talk to the other two campers. Shelby was sleeping and Ryan went out to take a leak and then he was sleeping outside so he had no reason to go back in the tent. They thank them and get a call from the hospital, Willow is stable and able to talk to them.

Duke meets Audrey and Nathan at the entrance to the Hospital, she’d asks him to come and he asks what he can do. She turns to Nathan, who stands a ways from them. Nathan is having trouble getting his gun back in his holster.  Duke turns to Audrey, “Maybe you shouldn’t give him a gun.” Duke says. Audrey comments, “I want him to feel like a cop someone just needs to keep an eye on him while we question this witness…and possible murder.” Duke is annoyed she asked but agrees because “I’m not leaving you alone with him”, he says and points to Nathan.

Inside the hospital room Audrey asks the woman, Willow, what happened? She says a giant cat was chasing her and she just kept running. When Audrey tells her that Brent is dead. “It appears he was killed by a mountain Lion” Willow’s saddened. “I knew it was a bad idea to go out there but I was upset they wanted to cheer me up and I’d just made friends.” Audrey asks, “Why were you upset?” “It had taken everything I had to move to Haven I was in an abusive relationship back home and when my grandmother passed leaving me her house I came. Yesterday I’d just found out my job is being eliminated. Brent joked that I could live out in the woods. It was just supposed to take my mind off it.” Audrey asks if she was particularly upset last night, “Yeah, I had a fight with Shelby. She’s Brent’s girlfriend. I didn’t think he cared about her the way she cares about him. He’s just like his dad, unfeeling, all in it for himself. But she just doesn’t see it. He’s such a jerk to her.”

Audrey searches the drawers of the hospital and finds a syringe and some gauze. She says, “Okay, here’s what we’re going to do.” She tells Willow they’re going to do a small blood test to make sure everything’s okay. She turns to Duke who realizes that’s why he’s there and is annoyed. He asks to talk to her outside. In the hall Audrey pleads with him. Nathan’s confused. Audrey explains Duke’s trouble, that he absorbs the blood of a troubled person, if they’re troubled. Nathan puts the pieces together, she might be the one to cause the trouble and Duke can see if she’s troubled. Duke reluctantly agrees.

Brent’s father is upset that his son is dead, as he speaks to his wife, she comments that they should have had a better relationship. He shouldn’t have been so hard on him. Mr. Buckley says, “Do you know what he was doing?” He goes over to the Hospital to kill that bitch who killed his son.

Audrey takes the blood herself. Nathan comments she’s good at that. Duke says, “It’s part of a past life.”

In the hall they put the blood on Duke and nothing happens, it’s not her. Willow’s not troubled. From her hospital room Willow asks if it’s okay.

Audrey goes over to Willow and says everything is okay. When Willow asks to know what all this is about if it was an animal attack Audrey admits that Brent might have been murdered. Willow’s worried it’s her fault. Audrey tries to assure her it wasn’t but Willow insists saying that, “When Shelby wouldn’t listen to me I went to prove Brent was a jerk. I was with him that night.” Brent’s father overhears.

Mr. Buckley arrives at Shelby’s house and fires at her but misses. He yells, “You killed my son” as she runs inside, locks the door, and hides as she calls the police.

Act II

Audrey goes over to Shelby’s and finds Dwight is there and so is Brent’s father with a shotgun threatening Shelby. Dwight came since they’re a little short-handed. He tried to get her to go out the back but she won’t move. Audrey and Dwight try to get Mr. Buckley to calm down but he’s mad she killed his son. Audrey tells Dwight Nathan and Duke are with Willow, who is not troubled. Shelby might be the troubled person apparently Brent was stepping out on her. Audrey tries to convince him they don’t know that she killed Brent but there’s no reasoning with him. Audrey goes around back to get to Shelby. Mr. Buckley lights something and throws it into the house, the house starts to burn, Shelby screams. Audrey gets in through the back door and finds Shelby and her house is lighting up quick. She gets her out.

The ambulance there Ryan comes to Shelby to see if she’s alright. Audrey calmly talks to Shelby about her family. Knowing she’s asking about whether she’s troubled or not she says she was adopted “that’s how she’d met Willow she worked in records at the adoption agency in Haven.” Audrey and Dwight learn Shelby didn’t know about Brent and Willow and says, “If that’s true she was right. He is jerk. I can’t believe she’d do that for me.” Ryan asks, “You’re not mad?” She turns to Ryan, “Of course I’m mad, but I’d break up with him I wouldn’t kill him. I couldn’t. I loved him. I didn’t want him dead.” Ryan comforts her. Audrey and Dwight are surprised by her reaction but her reaction makes it clear she really didn’t know. And Audrey points out that she’d probably have manifested in some way during the fire. They are back to square one, expect he had to invite the person in his tent so it was someone he knew. Dwight says, “That doesn’t help much. Brent was Haven’s drug dealer he did his deals in the woods.” Audrey’s upset, “It really could be anyone.”

Act III

It’s the next day they’ve had all Brent’s records shipped over to the department Duke, Nathan, Audrey, Vince and Dave go over the records. Vince and Dave are very opinionated about who the person could be as if they have some insider information about who has what trouble. Of course they bicker about it. Audrey complains that they should really keep a record of this stuff it could be helpful to the police department. They admit their records have been out of sorts the last few…decades. The group continues to search.

Willow is released from the hospital, Ryan and Shelby meet her. Shelby asks her again, “You’re sure it’s okay if I stay with you.” Shelby looks to the police escort with her. “Yeah, he looks cute and I’ll need someone to help me.” Willow says. Shelby smiles and says “You look fine.”

As Ryan helps them into Shelby’s car he tells Shelby that if she needs anything just to call. But he can’t leave her and tells her he’ll follow her to make sure they’re safe. Willow jokes about him moving in too.

At the police station Audrey asks to look at the crime scene again. Vince hands over a picture he drew. Audrey asks “if Shelby and Ryan were there why did the mountain lion go after Willow, unless she was targeted.” They’ve already got a person at her place since Shelby’s staying with her. They continue to look at the evidence.

At the house Shelby announces to Ryan in the main room that Willow has just gone to sleep. She offers him some tea and he accepts. She says he’s really nice for staying. He says he knows this must be hard. She says it’s harder for him, Brent’s been his best friend for a long time. Ryan talks about how his friendship with Brent was clichéd; no matter what Brent did he would always go along with it until her, “I wanted him to tell you about Willow”. He reveals he likes Shelby. She holds his hand, reciprocating.

The next morning Ryan wakes up next to Shelby kisses her and says he’ll get them some breakfast.

Audrey picks up Nathan for breakfast and can’t help but brainstorm because the mystery is still bothering her.

At Willow’s, Willow stands in the kitchen with a splitting headache. She’s surprised to see Ryan come out of Shelby’s room, “You and Shelby?” He nods, happily. Willow with her hands on her hips asks if it’s such a good idea she knows what happened with Brent she was there. She saw him turn into the Mountain Lion.

Act IV

Willow tells Ryan, “I’m not going to turn you in. Brent was a jerk but she’ll hate you if she finds out. She loved him and if you stay she will find out.” Ryan turns to the bedroom door upset he doesn’t want to leave her. Willows says “I’ll take care of her, I know you never meant any of this to happen and you want the best for her.” He nods, “Yeah.” tears in his eyes. He heads towards the bedroom, Willow asks, “what are you doing?” Ryan wants to say goodbye. Willow objects, “It will be easier if you don’t.” He goes inside the door, Willow’s upset, “Why does there have to be all this drama?” she says.

Inside the bedroom Shelby says, “I thought you were going to get breakfast.” He tells her he has to go. Shelby sits up in bed and asks what’s wrong. He turns to her and tells her “I never meant to put your life in danger and you won’t be safe until they catch who killed Brent.” With a sigh he says, “I did.” She looks at him angry. “You killed him.” She says upset. Suddenly on her back shoulder bone the four person circular tattoo appears and then vanishes just as it appeared. “I didn’t mean to. I was just so angry when I saw him with Willow and when I confronted him he didn’t even care.” Ryan tries to reach out to her and she tells him to “get away from me.”

As Audrey and Nathan leave breakfast Nathan comments that “Ryan obviously liked Shelby. You see the way he came running to her when she was in trouble.” Audrey just realizes this and says, “And he wasn’t surprised when we told Shelby that Brent had cheated on her.” She heads to his house realizing Ryan’s the Mountain Lion.

Audrey and Nathan pull up on the street as they hear shots fired and the roar of a Mountain Lion. They get to the house and hear more shots fired. They run inside the house, Willow holds a handgun at the Mountain Lion, which stands over Shelby’s mauled body. Audrey stops Willow. She speaks to the Lion says they can help him and he turns back into Ryan. He looks over to Shelby. She’s been mauled. He’s grief stricken, crying. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to.”

They take him outside in handcuffs, as they do shots are fired at him from the trees up the hill in front of the house. Audrey and Nathan find cover with Ryan.

Mr. Buckley movies to find a better place to shoot as he does. Dwight up on the hill runs down to Mr. Buckley and swipes him from behind telling Audrey through the walkie that it’s clear.

Audrey and Nathan take Ryan to the car.

Audrey and Nathan sit in the interrogation room with Ryan who’s forlorn. He confesses to killing the woman he loves. Audrey tells him she knows it’s hard now but they’ll going to try and make him better and that might make things a little bit better. Nathan puts his hands on him. When he pulls them down Audrey out of the corner of her mouth says, “That’s it.” He speaking out of the corner of his mouth says, “I think”. Audrey than tells Ryan they’ll find a new place for him. He’s upset he should go to prison for what he did and right there he turns into a Mountain Lion. Audrey and Nathan jump, luckily the cuff are still on his now paws so he can’t really move. “I didn’t heal him.” Nathan says upset and bolts out of the room.

Audrey leaves the interrogation room closing the door behind and goes to Dwight who saw Nathan leave. She says, “He needs to be angry.” Dwight, realizing the healing didn’t work says he’ll take care of Ryan. The guard will take good care of him revealing they have a new understanding, him and the guard. Audrey and Dwight look to the interrogation room where a mountain lion growls. He says, “We’ll take him later.” She nods and asks Dwight how he knew that Mr. Buckley would be on the hill. “He was a ranger like me and that’s what I would have done. I just didn’t know where on the hill.” She thanks him and tells him you could have asked for help looking. He nods saying he’s used to working alone.

Willow enters, worried about Ryan. Audrey assures her he’ll be okay and comment that she’s probably going to leave Haven now. She says, “I have the house. If you hear about anyone that needs records collated and filed I’m their girl.” Audrey then says, “I think we may actually have something. If you’re not scared by the troubles.” She shakes her head.

At The Gull Nathan drinks and complains that he can’t cure himself or remember who he is. Duke of all people misses the old Nathan, though he was a pain in the ass, and says, “maybe you should figure out who the new Nathan is, for instance do you like scotch” and they have a drink together. Nathan feels better. They’re closer.

At the morgue the next day the attendant tells them that Shelby wasn’t killed by a Mountain Lion. She has a shotgun wound. Dwight says he’ll make sure that Ryan knows this. But the coroner says there’s more, the shotgun wouldn’t have killed her and the claw marks are post-mortem. He can’t explain how she died. But there was a strange mark on her body, etched into the skin filled with blood. It looks like a fan with curved lines through it and a thick edge. Audrey flashes back, she’s seen the symbol before but can’t remember where. She tells them she knows the symbol but she doesn’t know from where, but wherever it is it’s not good – “I think this is just the beginning”.

S4:E1: "New Life" Disappointed the troubles are not gone, Jordon and a few rouge members of the guard hold Duke, Audrey, Vince, Dave, Dwight, and Nathan captive in a warehouse as the troubles get worse.

Duke, Audrey, Vince, Dave, Dwight, and Nathan are unconscious locked in a room, tied up.

Outside in a large room Jordon and the guard argue about what to do with them. Kirk, the leader of the rouge group is upset they have Vincent, he’s their supreme leader. He’s done right by them. Jordon doesn’t care she’s enraged, touches him so he’s in excruciating pain, “the troubles are not gone.” She says, “I demand to know why?” Everyone looks to her with respect, including Kirk, all of them are wondering the same thing. She is now their leader. They agree to keep the others asleep, pulling them out one at a time. Kirk, the former leader wants to talk to Vince first. Jordon says let’s bring out both of them – referring to Vince and Dave, we’ll get more out of them that way.

With Vince and Dave tied up to chairs, Kirk is apologetic that this has happened but everyone’s upset the troubles are not gone, as they would have been if Audrey had gone into the barn.

Dave and Vince fight about Vince being not only in the guard but leader “which is not working out so well now” Dave says annoyed. Vince expresses all he knows that Audrey said the troubles would be gone, they don’t know what happened. Frustrated they don’t get any real answers out of them, the guard chloroform them again. Then the guard pull out Nathan, Jordon knows, instinctively, that he prevented Audrey from going in the barn.

Nathan, tied to the chair is confused asks them what they want? “We want to know what you did and how to undo it? How do we get the barn back?” Nathan doesn’t know what they’re talking about and it becomes clear he doesn’t even know who they are. And, when a skinny man named Slim hits him, not knowing his trouble, Nathan asks why he didn’t feel that. Nathan doesn’t even know his own name.

The guard wonders if Nathan’s faking his amnesia. Jordon unsure asks to speak with him alone and tells the other guys that they can work on Audrey.

Slim and a short buff man they call Don take Audrey out and tie her to a chair.

In the small room Vince, Dave, Duke and Dwight lay on the ground. Dwight and Duke start to wake up and wake Vince and Dave. Duke complains about his head. Dwight asks, “Where are we?”. Vince and Dave tell them a warehouse being questioned by the guard. Dwight asks how they got there. How do you think, Duke says, “the guard brought us here?” Dwight comments that Vincent leads the guard. Dave comments that “he doesn’t anymore, not that you ever told me.” The brothers bicker. Dwight takes charge they need to get out of there and be quiet about it. “Where’s Nathan and Audrey?” Dwight asks Vince. Dave says, “they took them” Duke says, “That’s not good.” Thinking patiently Dwight says, “I got an idea.”

In the small room, Jordon alone with Nathan plays tough cop, asking Nathan if he remembers what he did to her how she loved him and he betrayed her. He says, “I’m sorry.” Apologizing, “I don’t’ remember what any of it.” Jordon still unsure unties him and asks him to touch her. As he takes her face with both hands she moans in pleasure. She leans over and kisses him and he kisses her back.

Don and Slim watch Audrey wake up and ask her what she did. Guilt ridden she tells them “I wanted to end the troubles.” Don hits her, “but you didn’t.” He says and hits her again. She doesn’t flinch her lip bleeding. “You can hit me all you want, it won’t change things, I wish it would.” She feels terrible about shooting Nathan and shakes upset. “I wasn’t going to do it at first. I was going to go into the barn but then…” Slim hits her upset saying, “You don’t even care.” Kirk stops him and asks her again what she did. She’s really shaken up by the last few days and slowly explains in an emotional way that “I shot the man I love, in the head to end the troubles because I care about all of you.” Kirk mentions that “Nathan’s alive.” She says “I can’t explain that. He just…healed and the barn disappeared.”

Kirk pulls Don and Slim aside and says, “shot in the head could explain why he can’t remember anything” Audrey overhearing asks, “he can’t remember anything?” concerned for Nathan. Kirk turns to her sympathetic, “Not even his own name.” he says to her and she begs to see Nathan. Don tells her to shut up as Slim goes to tell Jordon.

Audrey pleads to see him saying, “Ever since he came back I’ve had this nagging feeling in my gut and I can’t explain it.”

Slim, the messenger on his way to Jordon looks to Bert, a bald man standing guard in front of the room the others are being held in. Slim asks where’s Frosk. Bert offended says “I don’t know. I’m not his keeper.”

In a small room, Nathan and Jordon are kissing. Nathan pulls away and asks, “Where’s the woman I was with?” Jordon pushes him away. “They’re fine.” She says annoyed he’s still thinking of Audrey when he doesn’t even know who he is. “Why are you holding us? Who is she to me?” Nathan asks.

Slim knocks on the door and Jordon opens it, “What?” she says annoyed, “Kirk wanted me to tell you, Audrey says she shot him in the head. Said it might be why he doesn’t remember.”Jordon shocked and disgusted reacts, “But he’s fine.” Slim nods, “Audrey can’t explain that.” Jordon turns to Nathan. “Okay, thanks.” She says and Slim leaves. 

Nathan, who doesn’t overhear asks, “What did he say?” Jordon closing the door says, “Nothing.” She approaches Nathan slowly, “The woman, she’s your partner, you’re a police officer.” Nathan nods, “I must have been in some kind of accident.” Jordon nods, “Something like that” She finally has something to turn Nathan against Audrey she starts to tell him that she shot him but only gets as far as “She-“ when there’s a loud boom. It comes from outside the room smoke comes into the room. Men are screaming. Jordon rushes outside Nathan follows her. Kirk and Don also show up. Bert, standing guard is screaming at Slim. “I don’t know why he’s been gone so long. I’m not his keeper.” Jordon tells Bert to calm down.” Flames burst out of nowhere behind her as Bert looks around angry. Bert bursts into flames. Nathan looks on in horror, “What the hell is going on?”

Nathan is freaking out. “What is going on, why did that guy burst into flames?” Slim looks over Nathan, “He really doesn’t remember anything?” Offended Nathan looks at Slim, “I can hear you.” Slim asks, “Why isn’t he tied up.” Jordon shakes her head, “He doesn’t remember anything. He’s not a threat.”  Slim takes Nathan back to the chair and ties him up.

 

Jordon asks Slim, “Why was Bert so upset?” Slim looks to her, “Frosk, he’s not here.” Jordon annoyed demands to know where he is, “He was supposed to chloroform them.” She says and rushed to the locked room, and opens it, Slim follows. Dwight, Duke, Vince and Dave are lying down as if chloroformed. Then they strike simultaneously and it’s a standoff. Dwight tries to negotiation their release, “now we’re just going to walk out of here, no harm done.” “But not without Audrey.” Duke says, “And Nathan,” Vince says. “Okay fine,” Duke shrugs, if he has to save Nathan he guesses he will. “Where are they?” Duke presses. “Where’s Frosk?” Jordon asks, “Who?” Dwight asks. “We haven’t seen Frosk.” Vincent says, “I swear we didn’t do anything.” Kirk demands that, “No one is leaving this building till we find Frosk.” Vincent offers to help them find him. Duke objects but Dwight is inclined to help. “Not without Audrey.” Duke says. “And Nathan.” Dave adds.

Together everyone goes over to the large room where Audrey is held and Slim brings Nathan and they all stand around. “What’s going on?” Nathan asks. “We’re going to be alright.” Dwight says and puts his hand on his shoulder in a friendly manner. “Good.” Nathan nods, and turns to him and asks, “And you are?” Dwight looks at him shocked, “He doesn’t remember who he is.” Audrey says unable to look at him guilty. Duke asks if she’s alright, Audrey nods but she’s obviously upset. “Are we getting out of here?” She asks eager, Duke’s never seen her this scared and he’s worried. “Not until we find Frosk.” Jordon says, “What did you do to him?” Audrey is about to break down in tears, “I didn’t do anything to him. I swear your men have been with me the whole time.” Dwight and Duke look at her concerned, “Are you alright?” Dwight asks. Audrey takes a pause, “It’s been a long day.” She takes a deep breath, looks to Jordon and nods agreeing to help, “If we’re all caught up, let’s find Frosk." Jordon says.

Dwight convinces them to put the guns away, since they’ll only shoot him. Nathan asks how that is. Dwight explains that’s his trouble and explains the troubles to him as they search in the same team of three. They search around in teams. Dave is with Jordon and Audrey. Nathan is with Kirk and Dwight. As they walk they talk about Dwight’s daughter’s accidental death. Kirk apologizes and Dwight doesn’t want to hear it from him. Vince is with Duke, Slim and Don, two guard members, since they don’t trust Duke though Vince vouches for him.

Audrey with Dave and Jordon asks , “What’s Frosk’s trouble?” Jordon looking ahead answers, “He can become goo travel around like that.” Audrey nods, “Like in that old TV show with the teen exposed to toxic chemicals.” Jordon smiles and says, “Yeah.” Audrey comments, “I loved that show.” Jordon says, “Me too.”  Audrey shakes her head like a bobble head, “At least Audrey did.” Audrey says. “What do you mean?” Jordon asks looking to Audrey. Audrey explains, “My memories are copies from another person.” Jordon with a pondering look says, “Oh, I always wondered how that worked.” “Vincent didn’t tell you that.” Dave says surprised, “No, we’re told what we need to know.” Jordon says kind of annoyed. Jordon stiffens, “Let’s move.”

Duke’s group runs into Nathan’s group, as they search and they decide to continue together. Duke turns to Nathan, “This probably isn’t the best time to tell you but you owe me some money.” Nathan pulls out his wallet as if he’s going to pay him right now. Dwight stops Nathan, “Don’t do that.” He says to Nathan, and tells Duke, “this isn’t the time.” Duke smirks, “You really can’t remember.”

Audrey and Jordon find Frosk, he’s a puddle. They call everyone around. With everyone coming around tensions are high, Audrey says, “I think with the upset of the barn not leaving his ability took over.” Jordon nods and says, “We need to calm down.”

Don looks over at Frosk dead now because he’s a puddle, and upset he floats into the air. Jordon tries to catch him but she can’t he’s floating on the ceiling. They call out his name tell him to hang on. Duke jokes saying, “what the big deal? He can just hang out.” Jordon frantic explains, “If he doesn’t come down, he’ll take off the roof and in the open sky.” Jordon says. Audrey knows, “He’ll rise so high he’ll suffocate.”

Audrey has the idea to get a rope to get Don down. They won’t let her do it so Slim and Kirk do it try to pull him down but Don feels it getting stronger and he blows the roof off taking Slim guy with him even though Dwight and Duke try to help. Slim and Don float off into the sky. There’s nothing they can do. Kirk so upset and alone with just Jordon starts to puff out, like a blow fish. Jordon says, “Oh no. He’s going to blow.” Nathan presses his hands against him trying to stop him and Kirk normalizes. Kirk stops puffing up. He tries to do it but can’t. Nathan has heeled him of his trouble. He can’t go all blow fish and he knows it was Nathan. He’s grateful of Nathan. Audrey is surprised Nathan can heal, she’s also a little intimidated, something is really bothering her, getting under her skin. Jordon goes up to Nathan wondering “how did you?” Nathan says, “I don’t know” and when she grabs him he unintentionally pushes Jordon towards Kirk. She tries to get away from Kirk but her skin makes contact and Kirk feels no pain from her touch. “You’re healed,” Audrey says and assumes aloud, “Nathan must have done it earlier.” Vince then realizes and announces, “That’s how all this stops the troubles” Vince turn to Nathan. “He stops the troubles.”

Outside the warehouse Jordon thanks them all and says she’ll be heading outside Haven, find anyone that needs help tell them there’s hope in Haven. She thanks Nathan, hugs him, wishes Audrey and him luck – though it’s visually obvious she’s jealous of their romance. When she leaves. Nathan asks, “What was that about?” Since Audrey has already turned away from him Dave says, “It’s complicated.”

Back at the police station Audrey is in the office; she’s asked the others besides Nathan to come by. Dwight says he got Nathan set up back at his house. She looks very concerned even fearful it’s strange for Audrey. Duke brings up how it’s going to be complicated with Nathan curing people of their troubles – no one can know they must be careful with this information to protect Nathan. All agree, if Duke agrees everyone else should. And there’s another problem, Audrey’s still here and the guard as they’ve seen isn’t going to be happy. Vince agrees to subdue the guard with Jordon and Kirk’s help and Dave says they’ll write a story in the Herald about the asteroids. Vince mentions, some people will need the cure in the future and those they are aware of from past encounters but keeping it a secret will be tough. Dwight tells them that he’ll deal with that, he always has and suggest they work systematically and as the need arises. “Nathan doesn’t even know how to heal people.” Dave says. Dwight interrupts, “getting him to remember who he is, is a priority.” All agree. Dwight says they’ll be there for Nathan, and Audrey. All agree she thanks them and says she brought them there for another reason, “Ever since Nathan came back she’s had a bad feeling, there’s something’s coming something very, very bad.” Knowing Audrey doesn’t scare easily they know something bad has to be coming.

The next morning a tall young woman with a feminine muscular build and silver blond hair that flows down her back pulls up her sunglasses. Wearing torn Jeans and a t-shirt she walks down the streets of Haven and into the Good Shepard Church.

Why I chose to Rewrite Syfy's Haven

Season four of the TV show Haven, airing on the Syfy network has both confused and disappointed me.

Haven is a cop show based on the Stephen King Novel "The Colorado Kid". It's about a town with troubled people, people who have abilities that cause trouble, death, mayhem, and just plain weirdness. The cops, Audrey Parker and Nathan Wuornos investigate the troubles to figure out who is causing it so they can help that person and as the do they discover secrets about the town and themselves.

While I didn’t like Season 4 I think it was in the season finale of Season 3 where my confusion which lead to my disappointment really started as characters and the environment started behaving in ways that violate their character development and basic logic (which continues and gets worse in Season 4).

See…Audrey through the three Seasons has discovered that she appears in Haven every 27 years as a young woman with a new name and personality. She only stays for a short time and when she leaves by way of “the barn”, which isn’t really a barn, the troubles go away. But Audrey is in love with Nathan who loving her too doesn’t want to let her go. When she learns that she can stay in Haven and end the troubles but she’ll have to kill someone she loves, namely Nathan, I don’t see her ignoring that. Audrey has never been a selfish character and the number of people she’ll save is astronomical.  But the writers choose to have her ignore it and go in the barn. Nathan so angry turns to the apparent keeper of the barn who has served as Audrey’s guide, shoots him apparently destroying the barn. I found this ludicrous that his ‘death’ would destroy the barn, what Audrey is traveling in to leave. No one would design a system where the death of a person regularly in danger would destroy a hope. Whatever is happening with the troubles and Audrey has to make more sense than that.

I understand the writers were stuck between a rock and a hard place. Killing Nathan was going to ruin the show because the troubles would end and that’s the whole plot mechanism of the show. There would be no Haven TV show without the troubles. For three days I sat with this problem and one morning I came up with the perfect solution. It might enlighten you to know that at the time I was doing research for a paper about the incarnation of Christ – I’m in seminary.

Check out the next post: “Haven: The New Last three minutes of the Season 3 Finally” And if you’re not familiar with the show check out the page "Haven Character Bios"or the Haven website at http://www.syfy.com/haven and Season 1-4 is also on Netflix. I use a lot of Season 1-3 references in my "Julia" version.
