Full Episode S04E02 Recap

### Scene: Church Investigation - The team gathers around an old church to investigate a series of mysterious events. According to the map, they've arrived at the right location, but the church looks unimpressive and neglected. - They notice a small congregation and decide to focus their attention on the graveyard, suspecting activity between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. - As they prepare for a long stakeout, a disagreement arises about who should take the first watch, leading to a brief, heated exchange that is quickly hushed by a reminder that noise might scare off whatever they're looking for. ### Scene: The Werewolf Legend - A discussion ensues about the nature of their target. Some locals, including the parish priest, have hinted at a werewolf, although the creature's aversion to noise makes it less intimidating. - The team speculates that Father Ignatius, who finds their supernatural hunts foolish, might be sending them on increasingly bizarre assignments as a form of mockery. ### Scene: Ghost Story Challenge - To pass the time, David tells a 30-second ghost story involving a creepy, spider-like man behind a church altar, but the story falls flat, and his attempt at a jump scare using Ben's name is met with laughter and ridicule. ### Scene: Unexpected Encounter - Suddenly, their investigation takes a strange turn when they are attacked by a robotic dog, not a supernatural creature as they had suspected. - After subducing the robot, they learn from Father Hardy that similar incidents have occurred, suggesting a malfunction rather than isolated events. ### Scene: Tech Investigation - The team consults with tech experts and discovers that the robot was likely tampered with, its software jailbroken to perform aggressive actions. - Katie, from a tech startup called Amsterdam, reveals that the robot's software was supposed to be defensive, hinting at external interference. ### Scene: Conclusion and Reflection - As the episode concludes, the team reflects on the bizarre nature of their assignment and remains vigilant, pondering the implications of technology being used as a weapon. - They agree to further investigate who might be responsible for reprogramming the robots, suspecting a deeper conspiracy at play.
