 SEASON 2, EPISODE 7 WAX MAGIC Attending a touring carnival with Jack, Ryan is drawn to the strangely beautiful Marie Chase (Susannah Hoffmann), who works at her husband's wax museum. Taking him on a tour of the museum's attractions, Marie complains of a terrible headache and faints. Ryan is mystified by the reaction of Marie's husband Aldwin (Angelo Rizacos), who refuses to summon medical help and insists upon caring for her himself. A short time later, the decapitated bodies of several carnival patrons are found, and Marie's torturous headaches cease. Their suspicions raised, Ryan and Jack discover that headless bodies have been found in virtually every city the carnival has visited in the past two months. Before long, Ryan and Jack figure out that Aldwin's lifelike waxwork of ax murderer Lizzie Borden is responsible for the murders, because of a cursed object. CAST & CREW RYAN DALLION- JOHN D.
