seaoftroublesThere'll be more detail in the OCD, but the basic shape is this:
As You Were: Duke and Octavia head back to Haven for Audrey's surprise birthday party (braced for troubles). They head out to a remote island off the coast where everyone's gathered at an old, closed down hotel. The proprietor turns out to be a shapeshifter that kills the people it turns into. Everyone wonders who the baddie really is. The ME dies, Lucifer sends up a demon to possess her body and yell at Duke for dragging Octavia back into his world's bullshit. Audrey is revealed to be the shapeshifter, but didn't die because She's Different. They all go back to the mainland, where Duke reveals that he's the kid in the Colorado Kid murder picture, and Audrey emotionally blackmails him into sticking around longer to answer some questions.
The Hand You're Dealt: Duke and Audrey hunt down and question a couple of the other people in the Colorado Kid photo. Meanwhile, Nathan and Audrey try to track down someone with a fire trouble. Duke's old babysitter turns out to have death visions when she touches people, and after getting blown up by the fire trouble, tells Duke how he's going to die right before she dies herself.
The Trial of Audrey Parker:Audrey talks Duke into hosting a poker game before leaving. Two of the other guests hijack the boat to try and get something Duke's smuggling for a client. Honestly there are a lot of holes in this thanks to the way things are shaping up with Fandom in the mix. Why would Octavia let Duke stick around when now they KNOW someone in Haven is going to kill him? Octavia isn't a good replacement for Julia, Julia's a ninny. Octavia would just beat the shit out of the baddies for being mean to Duke. And getting the boat cracked delays them too much in going back to Fandom. Maybe we should skip this one. It doesn't really add much to Duke's character development that hasn't kinda been covered by Fandom anyway.

The Trial of Audrey Parker:
Re: As You Were - the death
Date: 2020-09-15 08:41 pm (UTC)"Well, I'd certainly feel better if the other two badges weren't packing" Duke said, giving both Nathan and the Chief the hairy eyeball.
Nathan opened his overshirt and turned, revealing a close fitting tshirt and no suspicious bulges. "I got nothin'. Service weapon is up in my bag. Feel free to take it."
"What about you, Chief?" Julia asked.
"Like the girl said, I was coming to a birthday party!" The Chief threw his arms up in the air, then lifted his pants to show his ankles. "Look, there's nothing."
"Alright." Audrey nodded. "Anyone else? Going once? Going twice? Okay." She pointed to Nathan. "Boathouse. ASAP."
"Right," Duke said. "The rest of us will just. Stay here. And hope neither of you decides to kill the other." He dropped his head and let them walk past, and tried -- once again -- not to freak out too hard.
There were too many people in here he could no longer trust.
"Tavi, you wanna come look for a radio or something with me?"
