Invited to dinner to check out the new prospect, Chelsea goes into a spiritual state in which she sees the murder of a young woman. After the vision, when she comes back to consciousness, she looks into Gavil's eyes and experiences a terrifying moment of recognition: she's certain that he's the killer she saw.
