 SEASON 3, EPISODE 6 BAD PENNY When Briggs and Gorman, two corrupt cops, attempt to rob a drug dealer named Koslow on the former meeting grounds of devil worshipers, they get more than they bargained for. After Koslow shoots Briggs to death, he's cornered by Gorman, who comes in for the kill. Finding a coin nearby, Gorman heartlessly asks Koslow to call heads or tails for his life as he tosses it into the air. To Gorman and Koslow's surprise, the coin releases a deadly bolt of energy on Koslow, killing him instantly. Back at Curious Goods, Johnny laments the death of his father, and Jack and Micki attempt to console him, but it is Micki who needs comforting, as it appears the Coin of Zaecles, which once killed her, has resurfaced. Jack informs Johnny of the night he, Micki, and Ryan went after the cursed coin, how it was used by devil worshipers to kill her and how they managed to restore Micki's life. Now Micki fears that, through the coin, Satan will attempt to return to earth once more- and come for her again.
