Sam dreams of her ancestor looking up at a crow, sitting on a branch with a noose. She goes to Vivian’s room and looks at the medical bills, which show zero dollars due despite Vivian’s claims about needing to move for finances. Sam doesn’t confront her. Vivian tells her they can’t visit her father because the hospital is running tests. In her room, Sam and Elijah talk about what spirits can and can’t move or do, and he confirms he retrieved Vivian’s cape and that her father is having tests done. He doesn’t, however, know why Sam can see him and others can’t, but he suspects she can see other spirits as well.
Sam and Elijah look through her grandmother’s notebook, and Sam wonders if the drawing of the back of a woman’s head is significant. They decide to ask Mrs. Meriwether, who is in town at the Remembrance Day Fair staffing her bakery’s booth. Jaxon shares that his mom grieved heavily when his dad died. She began talking to him out loud in public, scaring people away from the bakery, and they struggled financially. Mrs. Meriwether says the drawing was from Sam's grandmother’s nightmares. She called her “the crow woman” (188).
