Full story (spoilers)

Gethsemane Brown lets Griff talk her into a "non-date" weekend at the Moody Inn, where their friend Ty is marrying fashion influencer Sunny. Gethsemane is supposed to play violin at the ceremony, but the trip quickly becomes more than a simple favor when she is surrounded by wedding chaos, old school friends, and the usual company of spirits that only she can see. The inn itself is tied to a ghostly past, including Colm Moody, the former owner who died in a fall from the lighthouse and now lingers there with unfinished business. At the wedding festivities, tensions flare almost immediately. Frankie Brennan, Ty's longtime friend and best man, clashes with Ty over money and a mysterious watch, then later turns up dead beneath the lighthouse. Colm, who witnessed the night from beyond the grave, explains that he saw a hooded figure near the body and heard Frankie whisper something that sounded like "pray." That clue sends Gethsemane and Griff into an investigation that also draws in Inspector O'Reilly and leaves everyone at the inn looking suspicious. An autopsy reveals that Frankie did not simply fall; he was poisoned first with something from an epinephrine pen, which caused a panic response before he went over the railing. That discovery points the case toward someone with access to the pen and a strong personal reason to want Frankie gone. The suspects narrow and widen at the same time: Ty is linked to a fight over money, Sean is angry and defensive, Daniel Moody is hiding evidence from the lighthouse security system, and Agnes seems increasingly agitated and secretive. The murder grows even stranger when Gethsemane realizes the engraved words on a stolen watch are actually musical notes, not a phrase, and that the watch is tied to Brayden Murphy, a schoolmate who died years earlier in a crash. The old tragedy comes into focus: Frankie had been driving the car the night Brayden died, then lied so that Brayden would take the blame. The stolen watch and the secret behind it connect the present murder to the past, revealing that the weekend's emotional baggage is not just about a wedding, but about betrayal, guilt, and a love that never got to survive. In the final confrontation, Gethsemane exposes Siobhan's secret relationship with Brayden and shows that Frankie had stolen Brayden's watch from the wake and used the old truth to hurt everyone again. Siobhan confesses that Frankie lured her anger back to life when he destroyed Brayden's memory and threatened to keep lying, and she admits that she used Agnes's coat and missing epinephrine pen to poison him at the lighthouse. Daniel then comes clean about finding Frankie dead, taking the watch, and deleting footage because he feared being blamed the way his father once was. With the mystery solved, Colm and Daniel finally find closure, and the wedding weekend ends on a softer note as Griff and Gethsemane acknowledge how much they mean to each other.
