Ghosted: Episode 5
Description
Previously: after seeing the mysterious figure on the widow's walk, Beth rushes back to the lighthouse. She finds Keira with bloodied hands, which, she claims, came from the dead body of Beth's parrot Margot, but the parrot has now disappeared. They hide in the lantern room in case an intruder is still in the building. Keira says she's been feeling "a presence" during her stay, and that she thinks it's Wes. Beth admits she has also felt that she's not alone in the lighthouse. They begin to hear something climbing the lighthouse stairs. Suddenly, the radio turns itself on, and plays what appears to be fragments of Beth and Keira's past conversations. And then - a horrifying scratching and banging at the locked door. Keira tries to convince Beth to open the window so they can escape via the unstable scaffolding, but Beth desperately wants to stay. She believes the entity could be Gabby. Keira finally reveals that she pushed the glass at the seance - Gabby never came through. It was her.

Two emotionally immature, entitled young women casually abusing each other is, it turns out, a great premise for horror.
Wait, but... Was the parrot OK?
