Synopsis for "Yonda"

While Crystal was playing Yonda, Edwin and Charles were both dragged by ectoplasm coming from Mystic Mavis' seance before she summoned the ghost of William Locke next. In the Neitherlands, Tragic Mick gave Hana a ghost phone, which she used to contact Charles and Edwin through Mystic Mavis, while William Locke's ghost attempted to eat his two fellow ghosts' bodies and regrow himself. Hana started playing Yonda on her phone and attempted to save Crystal from the Devourer, while also working with Tragic Mick to save Edwin and Charles from Locke by luring it back into the Neitherlands through her ghost phone and a fishing rod. Hana planned to save Yonda with Crystal from the Devourer, while the latter came up with a sign for a detective agency named "Rowland, Crystal & Paine."
