The Witches of New York

A week after the vandalism attack, Eleanor, Adelaide, and Beatrice have supper before another meeting with Brody—this time at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Despite having fixed the window, Eleanor worries that their landlord, Mr. Withrow, will react poorly. She also would rather Beatrice not attend this meeting at the hotel, but Adelaide thinks showing her power is harmless.

Meanwhile, Brody sets up the spiritoscope in a private salon lent to them by Mrs. Stevens. Adelaide arrives first. As she, Brody, Judith, and Mrs. Stevens discuss the night’s proceedings, she is quick to defend Brody when Mrs. Stevens questions his experiment.

Beatrice and Eleanor arrive at the hotel and are ushered to the private salon. When Beatrice settles at the spiritoscope, Billy’s ghost comes to her and hides beneath the table, asking her not to tell the Marys where he is. Suddenly, the Marys inhabit her, crying out in pain. One of them, Mary Donnelly, speaks to Mrs. Stevens and demands that she correct her gravestone.

Reverend Townsend is in his study, delaying writing his sermon. He is not fond of his arrangement with Sister Piddock, who demands to have his sermons in advance so she can arrange the right hymns.
