About this episode

Ryan and Fr. Carlos Martins revisit a challenging exorcism case involving a possessed teenager and the implications of unconfessed sin.

Ryan and Fr. Carlos Martins go back into the most popular and most frustrating case of season two. A teenager freed. A holder possessed. One unconfessed mortal sin that turned a scheduled exorcism into what Martins calls a failure worthy of J.R.R. Tolkien.
