Gard, noticing the bizarre circumstances Haven is facing, finds Bobbi standing alongside other townspeople in front of a local town hall, suggesting everyone is possessed by some evil force and is planning to complete their "becoming". The two other troopers get sucked in with Nancy Voss (Lord)'s disintegrator ray (contained in a lipstick) which emits a green light and destroys anything. When he begins to feel nauseated - a sign that he is beginning to be affected - he leaves and the illness vanishes. Duggan is shocked by the townspeople's apathy and apparent illness - hair falling out, baggy eyes, pale skin, exhaustion, etc. The phone lines die as well, persuading Duggan and two other troopers to investigate. However, when trying to contact Trooper Duggan (Ashton) about the situation, Merrill is assaulted by her dolls and is knocked unconscious. Sheriff Merrill now believes that Bobbi had something to do with Davey Brown's disappearance, and almost arrests her. Hilly's grandfather Ev researches the town's history, uncovering newspaper articles going back more than two centuries documenting inexplicable mass murders, deadly hunting accidents, and even a Native American tribal chief claiming that the area is cursed. Merrill is still persistent in the search, and discovers Bobbi unearthing the huge object. Both Hilly, who receives a brain tumor from trying to bring Davey back with his magic machine and Deputy Becka Paulson (Beasley), who becomes insane after seeing her cheating husband Joe Paulson (De Young) being electrocuted are hospitalized and recite sayings about the "tommyknockers." The search for Davey Brown slackens as the people of Haven, including Davey's parents Bryant (Carradine) and Marie (Corley), become more obsessed with their inventions and become drained of energy and life. Sheriff Merrill (Cassidy) leads the town in an unsuccessful search for the child. A child named Hilly Brown uses his "magic machine" on his brother Davey, which makes Davey disappear. Gard has a metal plate in his head from a skiing accident, and Anderson believes that might be inhibiting whatever is "improving" the others. Bobbi also begins to dig compulsively around the artifact, revealing more and more of it. Gard is astonished when Bobbi's "telepathic typewriter" is able to create a well-written novel about buffalo soldiers. These inventions have a green glow when active. Some individuals begin inventing wild gadgets using kitchen tools, batteries, small appliances, and other odds and ends.
Insomnia becomes common, along with rudimentary telepathy. As Bobbi and Gard unearth more of the object, the residents of Haven begin to undergo subtle changes.
