Grave Digging

• Time for a family trip to the graveyard!
• Lena and Ethan tell Aunt Del and Reece that they're studying genealogy so they need to do a grave rubbing.
• They find Genevieve's headstone. Oh, and Genevieve. Her ghost is standing near her grave. Grave digging sure goes a lot faster when your family members have special powers.
• They all join hands so Aunt Del can take them on a trip through time. She's almost like a human version of Genevieve's locket.
• Just like that, they can see everything that's happened in the physical place where they're standing:
• (1) A young Genevieve chasing a young Ethan Carter
• (2) Genevieve trying to bring him back to life
• (3) Genevieve's funeral, complete with Ivy tossing The Book of Moons into the casket
• He knew it!
• When Ethan finally digs up the book, touching it singes the skin off his fingertips. Ouch.
• After the whole thing's over, Lena uses a Caster trick to erase the whole event from Aunt Del's and Reece's minds.
• She explains to Ethan, "I Shifted the Book out of their minds. […] In their reality, it never happened" (12.07.131).
• Ethan feels weird about it, "like a line had been crossed" (12.07.132)—and he doesn't mean the Mason-Dixon line.
• Then, when Ethan tries to return the locket to Genevieve, her ghost tells him that the locket doesn't belong to her.
