The town cemetery has been disturbed and bodies are missing, leaving our heroes to unravel the supernatural-laced clues and uncover the truth. Did they get stolen or did they mysteriously rise on their own?

Nancy Drew Season 4 Episode 1 Recap
Later on Nancy Drew, Temperance spelled doom on Nancy and Ace in Season 3. Ace will perish the day Nancy returns his affections. Therefore, Nancy assures him that she does not and will never share his feelings. Someone calls Nancy at ten o’clock at night and asks her to meet up at the graveyard. She arrives to discover eight unmarked graves. After five weeks, Nancy still hasn’t figured out what happened, but she does have a nightmare in which a resurrected corpse assaults her and tries to bury her alive. To supplement the income from Nancy Drew Investigations and Icarus Hall, the business she inherited from her aunt Temperance, she has taken on little tasks, such as tracking down a lost ferret.
The only information she has is that all eight of the missing bodies were under the age of 30 when they passed away and were buried in the same section of the cemetery. As of right now, Ace is helping out in a mortuary. George is preparing legal briefs for Judge Abbott at the moment. Bess has taken over as the Historical Society’s new director and curator. She is serving as hostess for the annual Lovers’ Vigil, which Nancy Drew Investigations is funding. The souls of separated lovers are what The Vigil is all about. The youthful and beautiful lobsterman Tristan often delivers his catch to The Claw. Bess arranges a meeting at The Claw between Ace and Nancy despite Nancy’s attempts to give Ace some space. According to Ace, he has been bitter ever since losing a friend over something that wasn’t even a kiss. Nancy is keen on resuming their friendship. Ace does as well, but the cops soon show up and catch him taking the eight bodies.
The Community Liaison program is being evaluated by the incoming police chief, Chief Lovett. Fortunately, she is a Nancy fan. Because there is no mobile service along the Appalachian Trail, Ace’s parents are out of reach. While Ace’s parents were out of town, a neighbor’s dog discovered the arm of one of the missing bodies in the backyard. Nick and Nancy, on their way to inspect the backyard, encounter more barking canines at around 10 o’clock. Since the remains vanished, there have been complaints of barking dogs every night around 10 p.m. The remains of one of the dead is discovered by Nancy and Nick. It emerges from the ground and starts to move away. The dog located an arm, but it’s not attached. Without knowing why, Nancy believes the vanished bodies bury themselves during the morning and come back to life at night. She stops all she’s doing for money to investigate and clear Ace’s name.
It turns out India Burnett was the person whose body George found minus an arm. She passed away in 1998, making her the most recent casualty. There was no clear explanation for the death. They discovered her body on an old yacht named the Lost Time; she may have suffered from mental illness. Since India passed away, nobody has used it. Nancy goes onto the ship and discovers what she thinks is India’s old journal, full of scribbles and torn pages. She tells Tristan, the lobster fisherman, to hide her from a security guard as she leaves the building. He obviously has feelings for Nancy. Afterward, Ryan figures out that the map Nancy is studying is from before 1999 when the eastern marsh was merged into Horseshoe Bay. It was there when Nick and Nancy discovered India’s body. Perhaps they can utilize the dogs’ synchronized barking to locate the bodies when they are uncovered.
Bess is anxious because the council of the town is due to assess the historical society’s quarterly financing. Due to the destruction of the magical hatchet, Ryan has asked the Glasses, a relic-hunting pair, to take his Porsche hostage. They plan to split the money made by selling some of the historical society’s valuables on the underground market. Bess promptly rejects their advances. However, they overhear Bess scheduling a time to pick up a new delivery. The Glasses return Ryan’s automobile because he was just required to secure an appointment with Bess. Ryan offers to drive Bess to her schedule, but their car crashes into a tree when their brakes fail. A talisman is hidden in the machine, which he discovers. Bess learns that the Glasses stole her package while posing as her helpers. She has the intention of confronting them, but Ryan advises her to let him deal with the situation because the Glasses are potentially harmful.
Addy shows up to the Lovers’ Vigil, where she and Bess share a dance. Nancy finds out that Ace has been freed from jail, but she thinks he’ll rather spend his time at home than at a celebration. George probes Nick for the reasoning for the sale of the ring. He needed the funds to secure the veil and ensure the safety of the youth center’s young clients. He felt terrible about hurting her. She is aware of this, yet the realization has a morbid finality. However, they acknowledge that they cannot postpone living their lives in anticipation of a potential future together. George advises Nick to get an app that automatically responds “yes” to any and all messages from ladies.
Nancy describes the Lovers’ Vigil to Chief Lovette when he arrives. According to urban belief, this is the one night a year when divided souls of lovers can reunite. Some people believe that if their loved one’s name is written on a bottle and sent to sea, their spirits will be able to meet again after death. Nancy puts a name in a bottle and labels it. She meets Ace at that point. Almost locking her lips, she suffers a cut from the broken bottle. Nancy rushes to clean up the mess, but she forgets to take the bottle with her. After a disastrous performance on an assignment for Judge Abbott, George begins to doubt her academic abilities and begins to contemplate leaving out. Carson discusses his disastrous performance on his first law school exam. He had to master time management skills because he was juggling two jobs.
Carson claims that in the event the judge didn’t think she might improve, he wouldn’t have spent so much time correcting her work. A helping hand is offered by Carson. Another of the missing remains is located on an ancient map of Horseshoe Bay that Nancy discovers. The dead are strolling the city limits much like they did when they were alive. They arrange to meet at Geiger Clearing. This is the original location of the settlement. A reply from Chief Lovette to Nancy’s text message arrives shortly after they arrive at Geiger Clearing, as do the bodies. People look on in terror as bodies vomit up a clear liquid and then slump to the floor. The Historical Society has a clean day on the day after the Ceremony.
The Glasses ruined Ryan’s Porsche with a talisman, Nancy discovers, and they also robbed Bess. Ryan has Nancy swear never to contact him again. Naturally, Nancy visits the Glass residence first, where she meets Tristan, the son of Jonas and Shelby Glass. After ignoring them, Nancy leaves. Horseshoe Bay’s drinking water comes from a municipal lake where the fluid from the revived bodies drains. When Ace returns to the Historical Society, he discovers the shattered bottle bearing his name inside. He decides to meet Nancy at Icarus Hall. Because Nancy hasn’t paid her bill, she loses power. When Ace finally turns up, he gives her the paper that bears his name. Her denial is invalid because he recognizes her handwriting. He bends in to give her a kiss, and much like his barometer and bottle, her flashlight lens shatter. She informs him they are cursed and so cannot be together.
