 * Sam talks to Show-Caller Emily, who seems to be in the Impossible House
 * Sam receives a voicemail from Kitty
 * Sam has a breakdown

Summary
Sam begins the episode by telling the listeners about the guest planned for the segment: Holly Brook, a nurse and Arcanist from Birmingham. She was the nurse caring for Jinghua, and Sam relays the update that whilst Jinghua is still struggling with the aftermath of her situation, her communication skills are progressing and she has developed a love of painting.

Sam says that he received a a letter with the date for a hospital appointment. He arrived at the hospital and found that Anna had arranged it. They conclude that Sam fractured his skull at some point, but it had healed almost completely. Sam draws a few parallels between their memory loss and Jinghua's,

He goes to bring Holly on the air, but the phone only relays static. They check the laptop, only to find that all of their emails with Holly have disappeared. The phone rings, except instead of Holly picking up, it is Show-Caller Emily. She introduces herself, and her and Sam talk about how she found the Spirit Box Radio channel, talking about Georgie from Dyserth, who sent a telegram in several months ago. Emily reveals that she travelled to the abandoned house that Georgie spoke about in his telegram. She is inside the house, and she tells Sam to come home, and that the door is open, before disconnecting.

Before Sam can even begin to explain what just happened, the Recording Machine tells them that they have a new message, one that was received both that minute and four days ago. Sam initially declines the option to hear the message, instead focusing on the fact that they've just received forty emails from Holly that just say 'run'. The Recording Machine then plays the voice mail and it is from Kitty. She explains that she's in the old house, but that something is wrong. She believes that there is someone else trapped there with her, though she doesn't know if they are a friend or foe. She ends the message by asking Sam to call her as soon as he can.

Sam notes that the phone never rang and that the message just appeared, but is interrupted by his personal mobile ringing. They become overwhelmed, and shout for everything to stop. At this, there is silence, and then Sam's nose starts bleeding. He tries to phone Holly, but she doesn't answer. Sam then has a breakdown, stressing to the listeners that they don't know what they're doing. He takes a moment to collect himself, apologises to the listeners, and then bids them goodnight.
