After what happened at Demon House Zak took some time off which the crew understood.  At the house Zak was making some lunch when Lori came in.  "Hey dad how you are feeling?".  "Pretty good" but Lori could read her father like a book.  "Then why are you holding that knife until your knuckles are turning white".  "FUCK OFF!!" Zak yelled.  Lori ran upstairs as Zak dropped the knife to the floor.  Zak felt like he was losing himself and Lori was taking the full amount of it which he hated doing to her. 

Zak knew what he had to do and picked up his phone.  "Mom I need you to take Lori for a while I'm not myself and I'm afraid I'm going to do something to her" he admitted as tears fell down his faced .  "All right Zak" and hung up.  Zak went up to Lori's room and could hear her crying which was making him want to cry himself.  "Lori open the door please".  She got up and opened the door to see she was wearing a cross which Zak understood. 

"I know I've been on edge and I'm putting it on you so until I can get a hold of it, you're going to be staying with your grandmother".  "Are you sure dad?" 0she asked.  "If I don't get control of what's inside of me, I'm afraid I'm going to do something that might put you in danger and I swore to you I wouldn't"he stated. "All right dad I'll pack a bag".  When his mother came Zak was staying away for safety reason which she understood.

"Thanks for doing this mom" he remarked holding back tears.  "I understand where's Gracie?".  "She sensed something's wrong with me too and last night she growled at me than bit me, so I asked Aaron to take her.  I'm scared that I'm not going to get a handle on this"Zak remarked as tears fell down his face. 

"Zakary you are going to get a handle on this like you have many times before" his mother said. Lori came down with a bag she walked over to her father and hugged him.  "I'll see you soon dad".  He nodded as they left.  After they left Zak went down to his dungeon and shut the door locking it. 

"LISTEN TO WHOEVER IS IN ME WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO ME ISN'T FAIR TO THE PEOPLE I LOVE AND CARE ABOUT.  YOU ARE MAKING ME PUSH THEM AWAY EVEN MY CHILD WHO I'VE RAISED SINCE SHE WAS A BABY.  I MADE HER A PROMISE I WOULD BE THERE FOR HER AND I'M KEEPING THAT PROMISE UNTILL I DIE NOW I WANT YOU OUT OF ME AND NEVER RETURN YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE IN ME!!"

Without warning Zak went flying into the wall.  After Zak got his head together, he looked and saw the same figure he saw from Demon House.  Zak tried to get up but couldn't move.  "You'll never get rid of me" the entity stated.  "You want to bet".  Zak looked and saw Rosie the spirit from room eleven at The Queen Mary hotel appear.  Then Zak saw Johanna from Bobby Makey's appear too.  "You don't belong in this world" as she took Rosie's hand.  "You can't stop me his soul belongs to me" the entity replied.  "Not anymore".  Walking out of the darkness was Jerusha from The Long fellows Wayside inn. 

The three ladies surround the entity as they started to say something Zak couldn't understand.  A huge ball of light enveloped the evil entity when the light disappeared it was gone.  Zak got up as the ladies sat Zak down.  "What are you doing here?".  "Zak we're Lori's guardians" Rosie remarked.  "You can't be I got Lori the day I found out Ghost Adventures became a series" Zak said bit confused.

"Zak even thou you taunted me in your documentary I kind of liked you, so I've been attached to you since the beginning.  I saw you when you first laid your eyes on Lori, I knew you wanted to keep her, but you were right to ask your mom for help"she replied.

"When you came to Bobby Makey's I thought you were stupid to do what you did that night but when I met Rosie and told me about Lori, I knew I had to keep you safe for your daughter's sake".  "Zak, I thought your poetry was beautiful but when I met these ladies and told me about Lori, we all decided to become Lori's guardian for you" Jerusha stated.  "So, you've been there with her and me" Zak said. 

"When she walked to you the first time" Jerusha stated.  "When you walked her to her first day of school and how you teared up as she walked in" Johanna replied.  "Or how scared you were when she had that accident and how you helped her face what happened in your own way" Rosie added.  "But this one was the hardest for you to handle and we know your heart broke when you sent her to your mother's house so you wouldn't hurt her". "That's why you appeared to help me" Zak realized. 

"It's time for us to leave you and Lori but if you don't want that spirit to return you need to leave this part of you behind if you don't want to hurt Lori" Johanna replied.  "I know what you mean ladies and thank you for what you did for me and Lori" Zak stated.  "Also, Zak we think it's time for Lori to meet your crew" Jerusha added.  One by one they all gave Zak a kiss and disappeared.
