 SEASON 1, EPISODE 15 VANITY'S MIRROR After a struggle on the city's docks, Ryan and Jack are successful in retrieving a lantern with evil powers. Jonah, the lantern's owner, has used it to find millions of dollars in buried treasure, and is determined to get it back. He overhears Ryan and Jack discuss plans to lock it in their vault, and uses their license plate to track them back to Curious Goods. With the item locked safely away, Ryan and Jack take off for an astrologer's convention, while Micki agrees to babysit for a friend. The two are alone in the store when a storm hits, knocking out communication lines in the city. Disguised as telephone repairmen, Jonah and his accomplice, David, gain entry into the shop, thus beginning the longest and most terrifying night of Micki Foster's life.
