The Slypharis is an air demon that kills its victims with the kiss of death. It escaped at Lake Rovere and fits into Hub's theory about the demons connected to the air corner of the pentagram. Hub tracks it to try to stop its plan, which involves ritualistic murders and sacrifices linked to the demons' activities.

Episode 5 reveals Midge's emotional reason for joining the Pot O' Gold group. This backstory adds depth to her character and explains her motivations. Hub also tries to recruit Midge's help as he pieces together a bigger mystery involving the demons.

Hub investigates the scene at Lake Rovere, finds evidence like an overturned monster truck and abandoned belongings, and deduces the demon's path. He attempts to intercept the Slypharis at a river crossing. Later, when the demons attack Lucky, Hub breaks free from captivity and kills the demons using weapons including a shotgun and a chainsaw.

Kitty tracks Hub's vehicle after an accident and discovers the ritualistic murder scene. She supports Hub by tending to his wounds after his fight with the demons. Maryanne is shown tracking Hub's phone and is involved in the unfolding events, including being questioned by the sheriff. Hub interprets Maryanne's tracking as a sign she is thinking about him.

Hub is captured and tortured by Lucky, who wants a confession on camera. Hub refuses and endures torture, including having his fingers smashed. Lucky had a past grudge against Hub due to a mistaken shooting incident. Hub eventually breaks free from his cuffs and kills the attacking demons. Lucky escapes but remains a threat.
