"Lilah Benchley was the sister of George Benchley, Louis and Leonore's father. She died in a fire, along with her mother, Ana Ramirez… Or rather Anipe Ranifer – Daughter of the Nile, Beauty of Ra"

"She filled me in on who on what Ann Rathbone was, and Hannah.. about the immortal phoenix that burned herself in a pyre, only to return, and mate with a mortal man, bear a son and a daughter, and then sacrifice the daughter to pass on the power to the son… She would mate in the same family, to concentrate the phoenix power on her descendants… Our family was just and eugenic experiment."

"So Lilah was the sacrifice then. And now…"
"Now the anniversary of her death. And since we stopped her in the past, someone is reached us through time to help defeat her in the past."
"And Anipe Ranifer tries to stop whoever it is. Because when I saw the words "Save Lilah" I saw flames burning it out."
"Charlie is vulnerable" Beverly added "She tried once here… we stopped her, me, Doc Lawson and Sheriff Oates. But now,"
"Now we need someone with experience. I will call Professor Romney"

"I will go there," Romney said. "And I am bringing in an experience medium, Cecily Forster. In the meantime do not try anything yourselves. And try to keep Charlie away from fires."
