friend and former colleague Carl to continue using her spiritual ability, after he reminds her about her successful case involving Josh Lambert in 1986, and stating that she is stronger than any spirits or demons because she is living and they are not. Due to Elise's refusal, Alex suggests Sean call on alleged demonologists Specs and Tucker, who have built a following on the internet. During their investigation, Quinn becomes briefly possessed by the "Man Who Can't Breathe," breaks through her leg braces, and attempts to attack Sean, Specs, and Tucker. Sean realizes Specs and Tucker are frauds, and prepares to kick the duo out until Elise arrives. Deducing that the dark spirit's goal is to lure potential victims to "The Further" so it can eat their life force, Elise decides to enter the spiritual world, and enlists Specs and Tucker to help. Elise enters the Further and has a brief fight with the evil spirit that haunts her before she discovers Jack's spirit. Jack begins to encourage Elise to commit suicide so that they might be reunited. Elise realizes that Jack is actually the "Man Who Can't Breathe" in disguise and slashes his face and orders it to release Quinn. Quinn arrives crawling on the floor. Elise pushes the entity away, grabs her and runs back, but eventually gets attacked by the entity just before she could escape back to the physical world. Elise manages to overpower the entity, and takes Quinn back and enters the real world, before the spirit grabs hold of her. Elise realizes that Quinn has to defeat him on her own. Though Quinn is at first at a disadvantage, Elise receives a message from the recently dead neighbor: Lily had left Quinn a letter to read before she graduated high school, but Quinn never found it. Lily's spirit suddenly appears in the Further and helps her defeat the "Man Who Can't Breathe." Elise gives parting words to the family, including words of encouragement from Lily's spirit. She leaves with Specs and Tucker, and the three agree to form a partnership. Elise arrives home happy that she could go on with her work, but then her dog barks at what seems to be a ghost. Suddenly, a demon with a red face pops up behind her unaware. Cast Lin Shaye as Elise Rainier Stefanie Scott as Quinn Brenner Dermot Mulroney as Sean Brenner Angus Sampson
