This episode starts out a little confusing as Nick wakes up with amnesia and the crew has to figure out what happened, along with a murder popping up that Nick is somehow tied to. The murder victim was Aristotle, who was the tour guide for the historical society, which is kinda sad bc he was an interesting character that I hoped would be more recurring. The amnesia plot is important bc there is a monster that kills anyone who knows its name so the crew uses a memory erasing/restoring device from the historical society to keep themselves safe. It's pretty whacky how many times everyone is erasing their memories and then using notes to remember who they all are. Pretty funny and thankfully not too overdone. It turns out the way to defeat the monster is to have a lot of ppl know its name which makes it weak so the team created a social media campaign to spread its name! Which was pretty risky if you ask me, bc if that wasn't the way to defeat it then they would've just condemned a lot of ppl to death for knowing the monster's name, but yay it worked. Nancy also uses the memory device on Ryan Hudson's mom since she knows Nancy is Ryan's daughter. I really think this was a bad move and would make Nancy's relationship with her even worse but somehow everything is fine between them after the memories are restored.. Some other things that happened include Nick moving into Carson's old loft since Carson is moving back in with Nancy, and Grant the line cook turns out to be Ace's brother. This episode gets pretty shaky at times but it was still thoroughly entertaining and interesting.

Excellent episode!

This show has become a surprise favorite for me. It's sits a little above the standard CW offerings. It's not overly forceful with the whole "woke" movement, a problem that now hinders most of The CW's current offerings. "Bess is into girls." See...that's the way to address it.
As for this specific episode... the pace, the action, the whole attitude was just better than usual. The series could do well to adopt this momentum as a standard. Season 2 has leaned heavy into "the monster of the week" format, and it has been a good fit. This episode will be a high water mark for episodes going forward.

This is the best episode of the series so far. It is one you can watch without having seen any other episode. I'm going to recommend it to my friends to watch to get an idea of the series. Creepy, scary, well-written, funny, and the actors really get a chance to shine!! A story that's part of the lore of the series, but whole and into itself. Fantastic!!
