Previously: Lighthouse BnB owner Beth has been unexpectedly visited by an estranged friend, Keira. Over an awkward dinner, Keira tells Beth what's happened since they last met. Not only is Keira a widow, but her late husband was their mutual university friend Wes (who was present at the seance when they communed with the entity claiming to be Gabby). To Beth's disgust, Keira also reveals that she has come to the lighthouse to write a book about spiritualism. Beth investigates a loud thumping noise upstairs, which turns out to be the open bathroom window. Keira claims she never opened it. Next morning, housekeeper Merta tells Keira the story of the ghostly keeper said to be haunting the lighthouse. While Beth tries to stave off an oncoming migraine, Keira tells her that the injured seagull on the widow's walk is now dead.

And in Episode 1, Beth tells Merta that she has been receiving gross calls from "a heavy breather".

Previously: Reclusive Beth is shocked to discover that the first visitor to her converted lighthouse Bed & Breakfast is a figure from a past she has tried to forget - Keira. During their chilly reunion, Keira learns that the lighthouse creaks ominously, and that you can only get phone reception if you lean out of a bathroom window. Suddenly, a seagull slams violently into the glass and falls injured onto the outer walkway (known as the Widow's Walk). They decide to ignore it, hoping it will fly away, and Beth says she'll be back this evening to cook dinner.

In a flashback, we find Beth, Keira and friend Wes in a university bedroom. They are holding a seance, and they appear to make contact with an entity calling itself Gabby - the name of Beth's childhood friend, killed in a road accident.
