Quick recap

In 1986, Lorraine asks Elise to help young Josh, who's being haunted by a woman in a black wedding dress. Elise suppresses his memories. Twenty-four years later, police are looking into Elise's death and the Lamberts move into Lorraine's house. The scares keep coming, and Josh, already possessed, gets stranger by the day. Specs, Tucker and Elise's old colleague Carl follow the trail to Parker Crane, a former patient at the hospital where Lorraine worked. Parker was the "Bride in Black" killer, who murdered women while dressed as a woman, on orders from his mother's spirit. Dalton goes into the Further to help his dad. Elise's spirit destroys Parker's mother, and Josh gets his body back. Father and son have their memories wiped again. In the end, Specs and Tucker take a new case, and Elise's spirit sees something behind a girl in a coma.
