First things first. They have a briefcase to decipher. Sophia looks over Tamaya's shoulder as the Troublemaker reads the note that came with the case.

Tell my story to let the fun begin.

There's also a picture on the note.
"And it has numbers," says Tamaya, pointing out the numbers that indicate various parts of the picture, "and this looks...actually..." Her eyes look toward a pattern of circles on the wall across from them. "...like that."

"Just like that!" says Kyler, pointing.

They go through the briefcase's drawings, which were obviously done by a child.
"They all have Ws," Olivia notes.
"W, W, W."

"So we're figuring...Ws...I think the Ws is the person," says Alec.

"It's the same person," agrees Nancy,
"He's growing up.".

Bryan turns back to Mortimer.
"What did you say his name was?"

"His name was Willy." Mortimer replies.

"Willy!"

"That's Willy!"

"That's a W!"

Rita
Willy, huh?

Rita's eyes scan the badly-drawn pictures. Knowing this town, Willy is most likely some kind of monster. But what exactly is he?

Rita
We've dealt with so many monsters! What's left?

"Give me the beginning one and a tack," requests Daniel. Shaadira hands him the drawing of what appears to be Willy's birth, along with a tack, and he pins the picture against the wall.
"So where do we think that comes next? Because he's born into this world..."
Alexis squints at another drawing.
"Is this a mustache?"

"I was gonna say," says Trey, who still seems a bit rattled, but is otherwise eager to help.
"That might be a mustache."

The drawing in question displays a small man being menaced by a much larger woman with a rolling pin. "See," says Alexis, "he has a mustache here.".

"This has to be his wife," is Shangag's interpretation.

Daniel seconds the motion.
"This isn't his mother. This is his wife." He inspects the picture as if he's inspecting a crime scene.
"So then he gets married. He gets abused by his wife."

Nancy winces.

Nancy
I haven't met this man yet, but I already feel sorry for him.

"He has three faces on the last picture." Devon points out.

"He does." says Bryan.

As they work, the story of Willy is told.
He was born.
His parents fought a lot.
His mother yelled at him, and he peed himself.
He was also bullied in school.
He fought in a war.
He got married, got pushed around by his wife, left, made a deal with a devil, and then...went mad?
