Hex

In the aftermath of the creek bleeding, HEX manages town-wide panic and tries to determine the cause of Katherine’s “agitation.” John Blanchard repeatedly calls HEX demanding his two-headed lamb fetus, which was placed in the town archives, while others demand an exorcism. Colton Mathers criticizes Robert Grim for his handling of the situation, and the control center is vandalized.

Meanwhile, Marty Keller identifies Griselda Holst as the one who left the peacock. Further scrutiny of the video archives reveals her regular, secret offerings. Marty confronts Griselda, but she reacts with anger, accusing him of “mocking” Katherine and threatening to report him to the Town Council. Following this, Grim himself reports Griselda to Mathers, who dismisses the concern and protects her.

That Saturday, Steve Grant and Pete VanderMeer arrive at HEX with the video footage of Jaydon Holst, Justin Walker, and Burak Şayer stoning Katherine. HEX staffers Claire and Warren Castillo connect the stoning to a resident’s fatal stroke, which occurred at the same time. Grim decides to arrest the boys immediately, arguing that they will be safer in custody when the news breaks. Pete voices concerns, particularly about arresting them under the Emergency Decree, which allows for harsh punishments common during the 18th century.
