John Constantine submit a jailbreak from his common sidekicks to team up with his drug - muddled professor pal Ritchie . When a group of students at Ritchie ’s college circumstantially connect with a dimension - hopping in series sea wolf ( dally by Lost ’s William Mapother ) , it ’s up to the two of them to put a stop to a slasher motion picture .
John ’s in a wallow mode , but Manny interrupts his one - man pity company to beam him Ritchie ’s way , even though John is usually the last someone Ritchie wants to see . However , what Ritchie does n’t realize is that Adam , one of his grad student , just spiel a deadly game of Bloody Mary with a bunch of his friends .
So Ritchie , stalk by the Astra incident and finding the sedatives are n’t enough to keep him from hating himself , has been looking for a cheat code for ghostly nirvana . He and Adam have been studying the works of Jacob Shaw , a particularly vile occultist , to see if his journeying across dimension could inform digitally upload consciousness . One night , however , Adam use one of Shaw ’s rituals not for occult science , but as a flighty game . Four kids go into a graveyard , sit on Shaw ’s grave accent , and really do enter another Earth . Unfortunately , it ’s Shaw ’s existence , a place where he hang around and create phantoms so as to defeat them .
Once the kiddos have go in Shaw ’s domain , he ’s able to track them in the existent Earth , enact his own picayune repugnance movie . He encounter the students one - by - one in broody surfaces and draw them back into his pouch dimension murder house , drink down their body in our world and maintain their souls so he can kill them over and over again .
We get a sort of terminal girl in the shape of Adam ’s girlfriend Lily , but she ’s not the one who brings down the fiend . No , that ’s what we ’ve get John and Ritchie for . We ’ve experience a sight of John ’s old crew , but they ’re usually sour in living of John . Here , John is working in support of Ritchie , who speedily actualize that , after all of his metaphysical research , he can overwrite Shaw ’s world . In fact , it ’s Ritchie who exposes Shaw for what he really is , a sad little god of a rather uninteresting humankind , a man who ca n’t think of anything better to do with his all-powerful eternity than star in his own Wes Craven film .
After Ritchie manages to put down Shaw and his murder bungalow , sending the dead kids ’ souls off on their next journeying , he make up one’s mind he ’s give out to carve out a snatch of Nirvana for himself . He can stay in Shaw ’s pocket universe and obscure out from the Rising Dark . But ultimately , he does n’t have the will to delay there . It make sentience , pay that Manny was so intent on John giving Ritchie a hand . And it ’s a rather sharp moral for Ritchie in the end , Ritchie who has long blamed his suffering on John : life is full of suffering and we suffer because we hunger something better . The reality of Constantine is surely full of suffering , but perhaps someday Ritchie can put his craving to something more productive than his own personal Nirvana .
However , John knows that attempt to do something productive , essay to counter the Rising Dark , just moderate to more hurt . He ’s still very much in the cycle that Ritchie wants to break out of . He end the episode just as he began it , with a glass of whisky and his own guilt .
