 SEASON 3, EPISODE 15 THE LONG ROAD HOME Returning home from recovering a cursed Chinese charm with the power to transfer one person's mind into another's body, Micki and Johnny stop at a roadside diner. There, they are harassed by Eddie and Mike Negley, two brothers with an unsettling passion for traps and taxidermy. When Johnny rebuffs Mike's advances toward Micki, the brothers storm off in their truck, but not before disconnecting Johnny's gas line. As a result, Johnny runs out of fuel and he and Micki seek help at a nearby house, not realizing it is where the Negley's live. When no one answers the doorbell, Johnny checks out the garage, while Micki heads inside, where she spots the stuffed corpse of an elderly man. But before she can scream for help, Mike grabs her. At the same time, Eddie traps Johnny in the garage, breaking his leg in the process, Despite his injury, Johnny wrestles a knife from Eddie and kills him. Realizing that he can't rescue Micki with a broken leg, he decides to use the cursed charm to transport his mind into Eddie's body, bringing it back to life. Meanwhile, a demented Mike introduces Micki to the members of his family- all of whom he and Eddie have killed and stuffed.
