"It wasn't fair, Ethan. She didn't even have a chance," Chad says as Ethan tries to comfort him on a small couch.

"Guys, none of us is going to get out of here alive if we don't skip past what happened. I know how you feel, Chad, but we need to finish this for her," Sam says.

"Look, Chad, I know how you feel and how you probably hate me after what happened," Quinn says, walking up to him.

"I never said I didn't like you. I just don't like what just happened to my own sister, Quinn, okay?" Chad says with a sigh as he looks up at Quinn.

"It just seems like you brush past this situation like nothing had happened, which is dark and wrong, man," Chad tries to explain himself.

"You don't understand what I was going through..." Quinn tries to explain herself.

"I DO!" Chad raises his voice, which makes Ethan flinch and jump a little, shocked to see this side of Chad.

"Let's not argue about this," Quinn stops him, as Ethan decides to intervene before it gets worse.

"Guys, we don't have time for this. Okay, Chad, I love you, but we have to push through this for a second and find the next artifact. Can we just look at the map and see what we have to do?" Ethan pleads as Calliope brings the map to them.

As they look at the map, they see three locations: a gas station, a cemetery, and a bridge that leads to the cemetery. They also notice a side note beside one of the locations, "Burned at a stake." Before they can react, they hear some loud screeches, which make them jump back and freak out even more as they scream in shock.

"What in the hell!?" Ethan yells, still shocked by the loud screeches, as Mortimer backs into the lounge, which makes the group jump again.

"What's going on, Mortimer?" Quinn questions, as Mortimer tries to catch his breath.

"They're gonna burn him alive," Mortimer says, as they ask in confusion who he was talking about, but he only replies by saying, "We don't have time for this anymore."

"What are you talking about? Where are you going?" They ask Mortimer as he rushes out of the arcade to the gas station, and they follow behind him.

They then see a random guy tied up to a gas pump with a suit and hood covering his face.

"She'll be back soon to burn me," the man says, his voice trembling with fear.

"Wait, who's gonna burn you?" Tara questions him, her expression filled with concern and confusion.

"One of the witches. She'll be back soon to burn me. You'll have to find the key," the man says urgently, his voice filled with fear and desperation.

"Where is the key?" Sam asks him.

"I don't know," the man says, realizing he was no help. The group realizes they need to look around and find the key.

They start to look around and see blood everywhere at the gas station. As they search, Mortimer is freaking out, rushing to them, urging them to hurry up and find the key. "Hurry, he's gonna be burned alive," Mortimer says, his fear evident in his voice.

"Mortimer, who even is he? How can we trust him? How do we know it's not a trick?" Ethan questions, as they keep looking around the gas station. 

"We got to keep pushing forward," Mortimer says, though he sounds unsure when he says it. 

"Is that a bloody skull..." Quinn says, with a disgusted look on her face as she points out the bloody skull hanging with a note in its mouth. Ethan gets up and opens it to see a note filled with symbols that correlate to certain numbers around the gas station.

So, Tara decides to do some math to figure out the numbers and symbols, while the rest of the group tries to find the numbers and symbols for her.

As they looked around, Tara turned to Calliope and Mortimer. Calliope whispered something to Mortimer, but he backed away from her, looking really fishy, which grabbed Tara's attention. "Hey Mortimer, are you okay?" she questioned.

"I'm fine. Find the key," he says, for some reason out of breath, which makes Tara confused about why he was out of breath and why he was acting sketchy.

"Okay, I think we got them all," the group says, running back to Tara. As she tries to continue solving the math equations with Sam, Ethan tests the numbers given to him by the math part of the group on a safe.

"Try 98 counter-clockwise," Tara yells out to Ethan.

"They're coming back. You have to hurry," the man tries to group next as if they weren't trying.

"We're trying, sir. Never mind, you could be an old man. We don't even know who you are, so wait patiently," Quinn snaps at the man, getting tired of all these old people in this town. For the '70s, they're mostly whiny bitchs in here.

They finally find the right code, and Ethan puts it in. Quinn stands by his side as he pulls it open, causing dust to spray up on him. This unexpected surprise makes Quinn and Ethan scream and jump back in shock.

They then see a stick figure made out of wicker, and Chad almost touches it, but they stop him just in time, suggesting to read the note first. They do so, and the note explains how the witches used the wicker man to curse people in the town and that to cleanse this artifact, they have to reverse the three curses. However, they also find the key in the safe. They quickly grab the key and run over to the man who is tied up and grab the wicker man while helping him.

They then unlock the man from his handcuffs, freeing his hands from the gas tank. This allowed him to finally take the hood off, which turned out to be a bad option, as it revealed that the man looked like a pig. He had a literal freaking pig nose in place of a regular human nose.

The group looks shocked and flabbergasted by his nose, not expecting to see a pigman today.

"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a guy with a pig face before?" the man says as the group stands flabbergasted still.

"Now I have, It's so fat," Quinn says, still staring at the huge pig nose on the man's face. The group remains bewildered by this unexpected encounter.

"Quinn!" Ethan whispers urgently as he bumps her shoulder, trying to knock her out of the trance. He's concerned that they should stay focused on the task at hand and not get lost in fascination with the pig-nosed man.

"It's true though, you know it," Quinn whispers back to Ethan.

"A young witch cursed me. They must have got you too," the man says, pointing at Ethan, who was the only one who got sprayed with some dust.

"Now a curse takes time to manifest," the man explains, and Ethan starts to feel worried for himself. The realization sinks in that he might be affected by the curse as well.

"Am I going to turn into a pig? I already feel like I'm turning into a pig, guys," Ethan says, starting to touch his nose. However, Chad reassures him that he doesn't have a pig nose and tries to calm him down. 

The pig man then grabs a spellbook and parchment from inside the car outside the gas station. He hands the book to them, and as they were about to open it, they hear screams. They all scream and jump back, startled. They start to run away, but when they see the witches walking towards them, they quickly change direction and run back into Fat Man Slims. They roll out the piece of parchment on the table, and it turns out to be a diagram with a bunch of different curses.

The diagram reveals that to reverse the curse, they need three items: the Amulet of Youth, the wedding ring of a dead man, and the bloody snout of a pig. They assume they can obtain the pig's snout from the man with the pig's nose once they manage to reverse his curse.

However, as they discuss their plan, a lady with an old-looking face suddenly appears out of nowhere, shocking the group once again. 

"Though everyone had gone home, the witches killed my brother with their curse and then stole my youth. Look at me. I look like a goddamn hag," the lady says to the group, clearly not having the best of life at the moment due to the witches' actions.

"I love your overalls though, they're really cute. Also, old is the new girl," Ethan says with a kind gesture, trying to uplift the lady's spirits. The rest of the group agrees with him, showing their support and appreciation for her unique style.

"Wait, maybe there's a resurrection spell in the book. Perhaps we can find him and fix the problem," Sam says, analyzing the contents of the spellbook before looking back up to the lady. 

"His bones are in the cemetery," the lady said.

"We have the swine undone, we have the resurrection spell, and we have the transformation spell," Sam said, reading the spells out to the lady, hoping she knew how they would help.

"Oh yes, the transformation spell will help you disguise yourself to look like one of the witch's lovers," the lady said.

"Chad can easily do that spell. I mean, he already got my giant-ass brother, so I bet he can get a few witches," Quinn said, which made Ethan scrunch his nose in confusion, unsure if she meant it to be offensive or not.

"I agree with her surprisingly. I think you've got this, babe," Ethan said, patting Chad's shoulder. "I know I can," Chad replied with a confident grin plastered on his face.

"So who's going to come with me to help Pigface over here?" Mortimer asked, pointing to the pigman who was just standing there.

"Me and Sam haven't worked together that much, but we're pretty smart enough to help out if that's okay," Ethan asked Sam.

"Yeah, totally. Hold on," Sam said, ripping out two pages - one for her and Ethan, and the other for the other group.

"Okay, let's go," Sam said as she, Ethan, and Mortimer went outside Fat Man Slim's to help the pig man.

"Okay, so-" Tara was cut off by seeing a witch walk in. She quickly signaled the group to hide while the old lady distracted the witch. Luckily, they managed to hide under the tables just in time before she walked in.

She walked in, looking around Fat Man Slims before turning to the old lady. "Where did they go, old lady? Tell me. You know what I can do," the witch said, stepping closer to the old lady, trying to threaten her with her magic. However, the lady didn't back down.

"Ugh, I don't have time for this. I've got to get to meet my lover," the witch said, taking a step back before walking out of Fat Man Slims. This made the group come out of hiding.

"You know, maybe I want that spell. If I get treated like that," Quinn said in a seductive tone, which made Chad and Tara look at her with concern.

"Quinn, how have you been so horny this whole trip?" Tara asked, slightly surprised by Quinn's comment.

"Listen, I haven't had a ride or gotten eaten out yet. I'm desperate, girl or boy, evil or not, my options are completely open, now." Quinn tried to defend herself, but they still looked at her like she was crazy.

"You need to touch some grass, Quinn, sometimes," Chad recommended, which made Quinn flip him off playfully.

"You and my brother deserve each other, you twink," Quinn said, although it sounded like she was trying to use a slur.

"That was the witch who killed my brother," the lady said.

"That filthy witch bitch," Tara said.

"She saves the bones of her victims in the cemetery. She lures men there at night and has her way with them before killing them," the lady said, looking at the ground, clearly haunted by the memories of her brother's fate.

"To be honest, that sounds pretty cool," Quinn mumbled.

"QUINN!" Both Chad and Tara called her out as she raised her hands up in defense.

"Sorry, I do feel bad for your brother, old lady," Quinn apologized, showing remorse for her earlier comment.

"Okay, so to use this spell, we will need to place their bones in a ritual urn and surround it with emblems of four elements, which lie hidden in plain sight. First is Soil of the Sun," Tara read out, and the group began to look around to find it. Chad was the one who found a sunflower, realizing it was the emblem they were looking for.

"I found a fan, maybe it's wind," Quinn said, playing with the fan.

"I found a lighter," Chad said, bringing it back to the table. 

"Okay, now we need petrified rain. Where would that be?" Tara wondered aloud as they walked over to the small bar area. 

"Maybe it's a water bottle," Chad suggested, looking around the bar area for something that could represent petrified rain. 

"No, that's purified, not petrified. There's obviously a difference," Quinn pointed out.

"I think it's ice! I think I found it," Tara exclaimed, grabbing some ice out of a cup as they all rushed back to the table. 

"Now we need the brother's bones, so we have to transform Chad," Quinn said, realizing that they needed to use the transformation spell they had earlier discussed. Chad looked a bit hesitant but determined to do whatever it took to help the lady and bring justice to her brother.

"I guess I can," Chad said. Despite feeling a bit apprehensive, he understood the importance of helping the old lady reunite with her brother. Since his twin was gone, he didn't want the lady to live without her brother due to the actions of some witches. He took a deep breath, ready to undergo the transformation and fulfill their mission.
