Episode 7 of Truth Seekers unfolds, dipping into the past to reveal a youthful Elton, albeit under the alias of Lionel. Descending into the musty basement, he gathers laundry, only to stumble upon that haunting, charred corpse—the same one that horrified Astrid and Elton in their own encounter. His scream echoes through the dampened air, a stark contrast to the present's intrigue.
In the present day, Dr. Toynbee convenes with a cadre of businessmen in a desolate office edifice, where he deploys his ominous signal once more, seemingly weaving a spell of obedience over them. As these men abruptly jerk upright, it becomes clear that Peter is amassing a formidable force, yet its ultimate objective remains shrouded in mystery.
Richard, too, falls victim to this enigmatic influence, his actions ending in chaos as he tosses objects about, disrupting Helen's livestream. Parallel to this, Dave grapples with paranoia at work, convinced that unseen eyes are tracking him through the security cameras. Leveraging his colleague's technological prowess, he meticulously triangulates the source of the surreptitious signals.
Meanwhile, Peter's grand design takes shape, with the final page of an ancient tome serving as the key to unlocking a portal to another realm. As his assistant stands vigilantly atop the Portland Beacon, Peter unleashes a barrage of mystical incantations, his voice echoing against the skyline. The heavens respond with a tumultuous display of swirling clouds and crackling lightning, culminating in a woman's soul being ethereally transferred into a machine, its purpose unknown yet ominous.
Elsewhere, Gus leads Elton and the team on a journey to Leicestershire, driven by a relentless quest for answers about his troubled colleague. Elton's case, the one that baffled Emily, leads them to a house haunted by more than just spirits—a childhood marred by isolation and the relentless glare of the press, as Helen was shunned by society. The secrets hidden within these walls promise to unravel a darker truth that ties into the web of mysteries unfolding around them.
Inevitably, they were compelled to depart, perilously leaving Helen's presence teetering on the brink of abandonment. This harrowing experience might very well shed light on the origins of her deep-seated phobias. Little did they know, as the narrative unfolded, that Elton's true identity transcended mere mortal bounds; he was none other than Lionel Richie himself.
Their journey led them to Lionel's former abode, where they ventured deep into the bowels of the basement. The flickering lights cast eerie shadows, heralding the return of two spectral acquaintances that haunted their memories. Astrid's confession shattered the silence, revealing she too had concealed a secret; she was bound to this realm as a ghost, her mortal coil surrendered in 1997.
Outside, Emily materialized before Gus, her spectral form whispering a chilling revelation—Peter Toynbee, the very man who had once taken her life, was now amassing a formidable force. Only Gus and the band of Truth Seekers stood between him and his nefarious plans.
Meanwhile, Elton was entrusted with a solemn task: to seal the rift that bridged worlds, a gateway he, a skilled conjurer, had inadvertently unleashed. Obeying without hesitation, he performed the rite, seemingly restoring balance to the frayed fabric of reality.
Helen's call served as a jarring reminder, her voice transmitting images of Richard's eerie transformation. The truth dawned on Gus—his father had fallen victim to an otherworldly possession. With hearts pounding and adrenaline pumping, the team sprinted towards their vehicle, racing against time to save their home and loved ones from an impending calamity.
