"Do you guys know anybody that's been here?" Kie asks, the group on the boat to Goat Island. "Cause I don't."
"Nope." JJ answers.
"Hey, Sarah, Brooke, you two must know somebody who's been here, right?" Pope asks. The two cousins share a confused look before side eyeing Pope. "I mean, like, all kooks, they... they know each other. They go to the same parties."
"What?" Brooklyn gives him a weird look.
"Are you kidding me?" Sarah asks. "You've heard the rumors, right?"
"Oh, yeah, about the daughter. I mean, that she drowned with her babies? That's what I heard." JJ says.
"I heard that too, but I heard that she was possessed first or something." Kie says.
"And then I heard that was all bullshit because... what?" Pope remarks.
"Okay. Why are we doing this again?" Cleo asks.
"We need the money." Pope and Sarah say.

"This place has been around for 200 years and they still don't have a road that doesn't go underwater twice a day." Pope says as John B approaches the dock, a man standing on it.
"You check in and you don't check out." Kie quietly says.
John B drives up to the dock, JJ and Zack getting ready to tie it off.
"Afternoon, sir." JJ greets. Zack gives the rope to the guy and he takes it.
"Welcome to Blackstone." He tells them.
They get the boat tied off and all climb out, the man leading them around the property to the house.
"So, uh, what have you been digging?" JJ asks, glancing at the shovel in the man's hand.
"Ditches." The man answers.
"Ditches." JJ echoes.
"At least it's not graves." Kie points out.
"All the same to me." The guy says.
"Uh..." Erin frowns.
"C'mon." Zack wraps his arm around her shoulders.
"What?" Kie frowns.
"Why would he say that?" Pope asks.
"I don't wanna know." Finn mutters.
"Nope." Brooklyn whispers, quickly grabbing onto JJ's hand, hiding behind him.
"Uh, so how long have you been working for Mr. Genrette?" John B asks.
"As long as I can remember." The guy says.
They go up some stairs.
"There." He points to the house.
"Okay, thank you." JJ walks forward, dragging Brooklyn with him. The others follow.
They walk onto the porch and JJ steps up, hitting the door knocker a few times.
"Hello!" He calls out. "Anyone home?" He bangs the door knocker a few more times. "Hello, anyone home? Maybe? Oh, just a little quick FYI, they drug you before they chop you up. So, don't eat or drink anything."
"JJ." Erin hisses, punching him in the arm.
"Not funny." Cleo comments.
"Yeah, guys, I think I've changed my mind about this one." Sarah says.
"Yeah, I'd rather live in a box. Let's go." Brooklyn says, going to leave..
"Ah, ah." JJ grabs her arm, pulling her back.
