๐๏ธ WHAT HAPPENS:
Eleanor Pritchard is seventy-three years old. She's been listening to WYAL-FM for eleven years. Every night. Without exception.
Her husband Harold passed in 1988. Since then, Vince's voice has been her company. Her routine. Her comfort in the dark hours when sleep won't come.
She's never called before. But three nights ago, something happened that she can't explain. Something she needs Vince to know about.
Eleanor's call is deeply personal horror. An elderly widow whose one source of comfort, Vince's nightly broadcasts has been weaponized against her. The entity broadcasting from the lighthouse knows everything about her. It can describe her life in perfect detail. It opened her door. Left wet footprints. And it will return.
This is the episode where Vince decides to ascend. To see what's in the transmitter room. To confront what's been using his voice.
โฑ๏ธ RUNTIME: 6 minutes, 38 seconds

Before taking the next call, Vince finds something in the engineering cabinet. Logs. Entries going back months. His signature is on them, but he doesn't remember writing any of it.
Vince discovers engineering logs revealing months of strange behavior he doesn't remember. Carl's call introduces the rogue signal, a beacon that's been marking listeners with their names, spoken in Vince's voice. The horror escalates: Vince's voice is broadcasting things he's not saying.
