This is another of my favorite episodes of the show, there isn't a lot to say, it's sort of an "Twilight Zone" like tale where it's a build up to the dreaded twist. Though it's true you might be able to easily guess what the twist is as there is a suttle clue throughout the episode but that didn't deter things for me no make the momentum of the hammer coming down less impactful.

I really like the eerie and unsettling feeling throughout the episode, we're in the same boat as both Will and Holly as we're asking some of the same questions like the function of that crystal their using why is it making them see an image of their mother whom has been deceased a long time ago.

Really liked seeing the mixed emotion in both Will and Holly where we see genuine sadness; you really felt for both of them, it's that common wish for a lot of us that have endured loss and want us to see that person once more. But at the same time their scared because they're unable to fully comprehend what's happening.

And those final minutes really hit you like a ton of bricks as it literally goes with the old saying, "It's too good to be true."

A calmer episode.

Warning: Spoilers
This episode is a bit calmer than what we're used to seeing, but a good episode anyway, just a little slower paced.

No guest stars on this one, just The Marshall Family.

This episode begins with Will waking up to hear a low hum which takes over him and further into the episode brings him to The Lost City, but in a strange trance. Once inside the caverns he picks up a crystal and sees his deceased mother, but it's an apparition. Later on in the episode, Rick is a little curious as to the strange behavior Will and now Holly are exhibiting and decides to follow them secretly.

Once Will and Holly arrive they see Rick in a 70's style casual suit which turns out to be a trap by the Sleestak with their hallucination crystal and the real Rick shows up, destroys the crystal, fights the Sleestak and then the family returns home. A nice little episode. 5 stars.
