Well, whoever this guy is, he is ruggedly handsome.
He's not of this Earth is all that matters, Carlos.
So any weapon not of this Earth can take out the Akrida.
Yes, which means ruggedly handsome over here
can take out the Queen.
Finding him can't come soon enough.
Now that the planets have aligned,
the Akrida can open the portal at any moment.
Great.
Death is imminent.

Who the hell are you?
Joan Hopkins, born June 11, 1673.
I'm sorry-- was that a 16 before the 73?
The Hopkins family were hunting
- even before the Campbells. - So what happened to her?
According to this, she wanted out of Hunting,
so she turned on her own kind.
I lost my parents, my brother...
all my family to the cause.
And then...
I lost my William.
And no matter how hard I fought,
there was always another monster,
another death...
another apocalypse.
So you decided if you couldn't beat the monsters,
- you'd join them. - No.
What I decided was that the monsters
weren't the problem, kid.
Mankind is the problem.
They always need saving.
And Hunters are the ones who end up paying the price
with our lives.
And then what do these rescued humans do
with their precious second chance at life?
They waste it--
kill each other, beat each other down,
destroy our planet.
Monsters have it right.
Humans are nothing more than food.
Is that you talking?
Or is it the monster essence that's powering you?
"The monster essence drove her mad.
"She became so obsessed with making sure
"that Hunters were protected,
"and she believed the only way to do that
was to wipe out everyone who needed saving."
- My God. - "With no way to kill her,
"Hunters teamed up with the Men of Letters
and banished her from our world."
And that's all that's in here.
So how do the Akrida fit into all this?
And I could go on and on about...
how those magical little bugs came into and changed my life.
But I think--
I think it'd be better if I just showed you.
- [gasping] - Shh, shh, shh.
It's okay. It's okay.
Shh. It's okay.
Say good night, Lata.
- [sizzling] - [screams]
All right, Lata is trapped with the Queen.
We have to help her.
Yeah, but Joan is bunkered down, and we're outnumbered.
Not to mention that spell could cost you your soul.
The Queen is about to sing her swan song.
We can't rewind this tape here.
Wait.
What if we could rewind the tape?
Metaphysically speaking, if you know what I mean.
On behalf of everyone, I think I can assure you
when I say that we do not know what you mean.
Okay, look--look, just bear with me one second.
Now, was this idea inspired by a drug-induced trip
I took a few years ago? Yes.
Are we judging me for that right now?
If it can keep Ada's soul intact, absolutely not.
Thank you.
Now, when we used the Ostium,
it pushed the Akrida out of this world, right?
Right. We used the rock from the Akrida's world
to send them back to where they belong.
Okay, so the rock acted as directions for the Ostium--
no, a one-way ticket out of here.
So what if there's a one-way ticket back here?
I mean, the mystery man we're looking for
is clearly not from this Earth, which means neither--
Is this.
The journal is personal. It's clearly connected.
Okay, but how do we reverse the polarity of the Ostium?

She'll have the portal completely opened by tonight.
Well, we know where the portal is at least.
Your dad called-- he found a bunch of Akrida
down by what's left of the warehouses on Prairie.
Please tell me you guys
found something about how to use the Ostium.
Well, whatever you feed it
creates a portal connected to that object.
So we fed it the rock, and it was able to shoot the Akrida
back to their world.
So, if we feed it the journal
and trace the sigils in reverse,
the Ostium can bring here
whatever was tied to the journal--
the Mystery Man, if he's even alive.
According to the lore we dug through,
you can only reverse the polarity at midnight.
So we need to buy ourselves some time.

Can't kill her, but she is vulnerable.
