Certainly! Here's Episode
Episode 9
The episode opens with Jane pacing nervously in the library of Ravenswood Manor. The atmosphere is tense, with the old books and artifacts seeming to watch her every move. Ellie enters, breaking the silence with a look of concern.
"Jane, you look worried. What's going on?" Ellie asks.
"I just have a feeling something's not right," Jane replies, glancing at the clock.
Just then, the doorbell rings, echoing through the empty halls of the manor.

Jane and Ellie make their way to the entrance, where Detective Marcus Hayes stands, looking stern as ever. Beside him is Lucas Grant, Jane's ex-boyfriend. His presence immediately causes tension, his eyes scanning the manor with skepticism.
"Detective Hayes, to what do we owe this unexpected visit?" Jane asks, trying to sound calm.
"I wanted to check on your progress and offer some advice," Hayes replies. "And it seems Mr. Grant had some concerns he wanted to share."
Lucas steps forward, his gaze meeting Jane's. "Jane, I've heard rumors about Ravenswood Manor. You need to be careful."

Inside the manor's living room, Jane, Ellie, Hayes, and Lucas sit down to discuss the situation. The atmosphere is thick with suspicion and unease.
"Rumors?" Jane questions, trying to hide her irritation. "What kind of rumors?"
"Strange occurrences, unexplained phenomena," Lucas replies. "People say the manor is haunted."
Hayes interjects, "While I'm not one to believe in ghosts, there have been reports of disappearances and accidents linked to this property."
Jane feels a chill run down her spine. She knows the manor is hiding something, but hearing it confirmed by others makes it all the more real.

Ellie decides to change the topic, asking Lucas about his return to Blackwood.
"I'm back in town for business," Lucas explains, avoiding Ellie's gaze. "But when I heard you had inherited Ravenswood Manor, I couldn't help but be concerned."
Jane feels a mixture of annoyance and gratitude. Despite their past, Lucas's concern feels genuine.
"Thank you for your concern, Lucas," Jane says, "but I can handle myself."

Hayes stands up, signaling that it's time for him to leave. Before he does, he offers Jane a final warning.
"Jane, I hope you'll take my advice seriously," Hayes says, his eyes filled with genuine concern. "There's something about this place that doesn't sit right with me."
"I appreciate your concern, Detective," Jane replies, "but I'm not going to let rumors and superstitions scare me away."
As Hayes and Lucas leave, Jane and Ellie are left alone once again. The atmosphere is heavy, the weight of the manor's secrets pressing down on them.

"Jane, are you sure you want to go through with this?" Ellie asks, her voice filled with concern.
"I have to," Jane replies, determination filling her eyes. "I need to uncover the truth about Ravenswood Manor, no matter the cost."
The episode ends with Jane and Ellie returning to their research, the mysteries of the manor still waiting to be unraveled.
