Crane faces his oldest nightmare when Jack the Ripper comes to town.
She has to do more than throw monsters at the wall to see what sticks.
But that tree looks good, right?

That said, we need a few rules.
This weeks monster is ye olde colonial legend Jack the Ripper, who isnt even technically colonial.
The Whitechapel murders were a full century after Cranes time.
Sure, but why?
George Washington was a zombie.
Thats a whole show right there.
At least this reimagination of the Ripper is straight-up culturally relevant: Hes a Nice Guy.
Hes every Nice Guy.
Pandora tells Nelson to show everybody who he really is, then dances him into a haze.
He wakes up the next morning with a dagger at his bedside.
From there, its just a matter of time until Nelson has slaughtered Emilys would-be lover in an elevator.
Early childhood encounters with pure evil: just another bond our Witnesses share.
And when Nelson doesnt show up for work, he brands himself their most likely suspect.
How do Rippers die?
The knife cant survive infected blood.
They dont even make it out of the parking garage.
Never send a non-Witness to do a Witness job.
Is it the largest in the country?
Nelson stabs Crane, and Crane injects himself with a disease.
Both men stagger to the ground.
Fortunately, you dont make it to adulthood in the 18th century without developing resistance to a few diseases.
Cranes illness of choice was malaria, and hes already survived it.
They already know one thing: It involves raising fear.
Pandora watches them through her koi pond as the tree of fear keeps blooming.
Meanwhile, Jenny and Joe are on a rogue mission to recover the stolen Shard.
Did Corbin have other proteges?
And what is so important about this Shard?
My moneys on one, tops.
