They encounter a mysterious figure from Rosie's past named Abigail, who lives in the woods with a single-minded focus on hunting down the various mythological monsters inhabiting the area. While Jen tries to understand the history between the two former friends, the Lumberjanes must decide if they will aid Abigail in her destructive mission or find a more harmonious way to deal with the supernatural forest creatures.
