Back in Dacus, her mom is on live television confronting a teenagerβs dynamite-toting paramour in a hostage crisis at the Burger Hut, Great-Aunt Aletha is mixing it up with the now-toupee-less postman, and the son of a ghost wants vengeance. In short, itβs life as usual back in Dacus, while in Charleston, Avery is forced to face demons from her own pastβ¦
