Quick recap

In dreams that take them to 1977 New York, Eddie and Jake meet Calvin Tower, owner of the lot with the rose, which Balazar's mob wants to buy. In Mid-World, the group reaches Calla Bryn Sturgis, a town that loses one child from every pair of twins to the Wolves each generation. The children come back "roont". Father Callahan, who came from our world, asks for help. Jake finds out a local man and the robot Andy are spying for the Wolves. Susannah is pregnant by a demon and shares her body with Mia. Roland reveals the Wolves are robots, and the town beats them in an ambush; Jake's friend Benny dies. In the end, Mia takes over Susannah's body and flees to New York through the cave door.
