And then we ate an array of finger sandwiches and deviled eggs and miniature beef wellingtons that cost more than my first car. My point is, Grant is gone. And so are all his many, many deep, dark secrets which I never really ever bothered to ask him about. He is never coming back.

Maggie doesn’t believe in the supernatural, but decides it is the perfect place to finally meet some friends. But the psychic has news for Maggie. She tells her that Frank is back.
