- As Merlin gets closer to the chanting in the forest, he realizes that he's actually close to the sea. He sees a little island in the bay before him.
- Through the darkness, Merlin can see a hill on the island and another bunch of those creepy standing stones. He also sees something that looks like smoke or fog. Spoiler: it's not.
- What Merlin's actually seeing is, in fact, people wearing white robes. Merlin can also see that there's a kind of doorway into the hill, and that the people are walking down stairs into it. It's probably a barrow, like this one.
- Merlin is so fascinated with the whole thing that he just stands there, watching and waiting. He hears another cry—but this time, he's sure it's from the killer.
- Merlin sees the leader of the pack emerge from the hillside. The dude raises his arms in triumph and cries out again. Merlin notes that the killing was a sacrifice to "the goddess."
- Merlin watches as the crowd breaks up and starts heading back to the mainland. He hides himself in the woods.
- Also, Merlin realizes that his excitement was pretty sexual in nature, and he has a mess to deal with. Yikes.
- But the excitement of the moment is gone. Now, Merlin only waits for the leader of the pack, who is making his way toward him. Guess who it is?
