A map of Summerville is unrolled in a booth inside Spinners.

Trevor and Avy were sitting on one side while Podcast and Phoebe were sitting in front of them. The other teenagers sit in the other booth behind Phoebe and Podcast. Avy leaned a little closer to Trevor and whispered.

"I thought it's only going to be us. Why are they here?" Trevor shrugged.

"I believe that they are nosy." He whispered back and looked at Phoebe.

"Okay, so, what exactly is happening with the map" Trevor questioned.

"See the concentric circles around the mountain?" Phoebe asked him.

"No" He answered as gazed at the map.

Phoebe looked at him with the expression "i'm so done with you".

"Do you see the circles?" She questioned and he nodded.

"Yes"

"Something's happening inside that old mine"

"Yeah, we know that. It's...pretty obvious." He replied and Avy gave him a soft nudge.

"Right, so I did some digging on the word you heard in the mountain. Gozer." Podcast stated.

"You did some digging?" Trevor asked.

"Gozer was a Sumerian god who once wapked amongst the living." Phoebe said.

"A soul-eating, flame-dripping deity of evil. And I think it wants back." Podcast clarified.

"Wants back what? Here? Why? This place is not even cool" Avy asked.

"I know. I would've picked Orlando" Podcast replied.

"What does the name Ivo Shandor mean to you guys?" Phoebe questioned.

"Ivo Shandor? That dude built this while town!" Avy exclaimed.

"He built the mine, foundry, the school, library. His name is on everything. " She listed.

"That's tacky" Trevor commented.

"In New York, he created an apartment building made out of selenium girders, mined from right here." Phoebe said.

"On that same rooftop is where our grandfather fought to keep a horde of ghosts from entering our dimension." She finished.

"Phoebe, what exactly is happening here?" Trevor asked.

"I can only think of one way for us to find out." She answered.

"And that it?" Avy questioned.

Trevor, Avy, Phoebe, and Podcast riding the mine elevator down into the Shandor mine.

"You know, I was expecting a less dangerous answer" Avy said as the elevator ominously creaks.

"So, what do a cigarette and hamster have in common?" Phoebe randomly asked, ignoring what Avy had just said.

"What?" Avy asked.

"They're both completely harmless until you stick one in your mouth and light in on fire" She answered. Avy looked a bit disturbed by her answer, while Podcast snorted.
