On this episode of First Impressions, Jess decides that she needs a getaway from her everyday life when she sees a dead woman pop up during her morning jog. On the invitation of her friend Kim, she heads out to a spiritual retreat on Glory Island, where they practice "Prismic Science". The island seems nice, aside from an infestation of aggressive flies and some other things we witness in the prologue. After meeting Guru Tyler and all the other inhabitants around the commune, Jess settles in. That night, she joins her first Chant, a ritual that cleanses negative energy by feeding it to extra-dimensional entities from the "Gloom" dimension. However, before the ritual is completed, Kim has a violent outburst due to her Intermittent Explosive Disorder. She runs off, breaking the circle before the dimensional link can be severed. Jess wakes up alone, and goes looking for Kim and the others, leading her through the old crystal mines towards the lighthouse and cannery buildings. On the way, we encounter a number of strange, Mind damaging phenomena that Jess wisely runs away from. At the Cannery, we find a very unhelpful Tyler and a seemingly possessed Kim. Helpfully, Tyler's predecessors in practicing Prismic Science have left behind helpful info on the Gloom creatures, as well instructions for un-possessing a disciple.
