Ep7

     Errol Lichter, a lawyer, walks down an alley while talking on a cell phone. He gets in his car but it won’t start. He needs a jump, and Fredrick Wilcot Graver comes over and touches his battery, starting the car. Electricity is thick in the air as Graver demands a confession from the lawyer. The lawyer, although confused by the request, says he did it. He drops to the ground with a jolt of electricity.
      Stone is watching football on a Sunday afternoon, rejoicing that the Dallas Cowboys are not doing well. Stone gets a beer and comes back to find The Devil there changing channels. After The Devil tells him how the football game is going to end, Stone flips channels and finds the only thing he can get is a public access station. The Devil disappears and then walks onto the TV as the lecturer introduces him as Dr. Woodbine. He shows pictures of Errol Lichter and says his death was caused by spontaneous combustion.
      At the Southland Institute for Metaphysical Research, Stone is shown files of spontaneous combustion.
      At the crime scene, Stone talks to the power worker and confirms that there have been 4 of these ‘power spikes’ in the last few weeks. Ash shows up and they talk, flirting with each other. Stone leaves.
      At Errol’s office, his partner says Errol just beat the Iron Maiden, ADA Julia Trent. He also tells Stone that his wife might have wanted him dead; Errol had been fooling around and ‘accepting services in lieu of payment’.
      Tommy Fanaro’s place, he is fighting with his wife about the dog barking. She says she almost wishes that the lawyer hadn’t got him off. In the basement, Fredrick Wilcot Graver approaches the barking dog, which immediately quiets. Graver zaps the fuse box. The power goes out and Fanaro goes looking for the fuse box, and he gets electrocuted.
      At the crime scene, Ash is not there. Stone talks to her partner, who tells him that Tommy just beat a murder charge. This is the case that Errol beat ADA Trent on. Fanaro’s wife and child come out, looking for Jake, the dog.
      Stone goes to find Trent. Trent is talking to ADA Stuart Lambert. Willy, the mail man, shows him in. Stone asks to talk to her alone, and Lambert leaves. Stone says 5 people have died from all the ‘wayward electricity’. Trent is looking over the files when Lambert yells outside the door.
      Stone and Trent open the door, and see Lambert holding his foot. Willy apologizes; he says he didn’t see him listening at the door. Lambert hits Willy; Stone slams Lambert into a wall. As they fix the cart, Detective Sergeant Ash walks up to talk to Stone. She seems a little ticked to have him on her turf.

      Down the hallway, Stone is waiting for the elevator. A guy is released from his handcuffs and is rejoicing about getting off. When he gets in the elevator, electricity shoots around the door. Stone forces the doors open, and is knocked back by the burst.
      Stone breaks into the ADA’s office to look at the files.
      Stone comes back to see Trent again. She says maybe the deaths were an act of God. Stone asks about Lambert, how well she knows him. Trent defends Lambert, tells Stone he is wrong.

When he explains that the library is closed, she offers to look up information for him on the internet. Under ‘executioner’, they find Fredrick Wilcot Graver, aka ‘the Dogman’. He traveled California in the 1920’s with an electric chair in the back of his truck.
      Stone find s the current owner of the truck and gets more info about him. He gets to see the only picture of him. Stone recognizes him.
      Willy is going home, a dog tagging along. Mr. Lambert comes storming up and threatens him, complaining about the not that Willy left him. Willy says the point of the note was to get Lambert to come there. Then Willy kills him.

      Trent is back in her office. She gets a call saying that someone has confessed to the Birch crime. She calls Birch to warn him that he might be in danger, but Birch does not believe her.
      The Devil shows up on the bus, wanting to talk about Fredrick Wilcot Graver. At his stop, Stone gets up to leave, and The Devil gives him a swift kick in the ass and boots him out.
      Trent shows up at Birch’s job and finds his body. Jake barks. She confronts Willy, and he tries to justify his actions. He jolts her, and as she falls, Stone comes up behind him. They fight, and Stone zaps Graver in the eyes with two live electrical cords.
Trent wakes up.
      Ash and Stone take Jake back to his owners. Then they go to a bar, and play pool. The waitress brings their drinks, and spills Ash’s on her. The waitress confesses Stone’s friend paid her $20 to do it. His friend? None other that The Devil, of course.
