I've Been Here the Whole Time
What happens
- 00:00:34 Brennan's recap of episode 6 (recap): the busts and the magnet that pushed the squire's old shrapnel into his heart, Daisy's reveal that Fletcher Cottonbottom did not die at Rickenbunny Falls, the three suspects held in Mrs. Molesly's room, the insight checks on Harding, Hawkins and Constance, and Catherine McCabbage's knock at the front door — 00:00:34.
- 00:06:09 Front door: Catherine McCabbage, drenched, tells Daisy she saw her dead husband's ghost; she sees Constance and the Vicar on the staircase; Daisy invites her in, and Constance asks for tea and blankets and takes her to the drawing room — 00:06:14, 00:06:46, 00:08:36.
- 00:09:21 Vicar Ian presses Constance: he casts Detect Thoughts (Box of Doom, DC 11; Constance resists with a natural 17), then tries intimidation (11); Constance threatens to take his beak off — 00:10:27, 00:12:01, 00:13:06, 00:14:24.
- 00:15:39 Drawing room: Catherine says she saw Connor from the waterside, "bright, like a lighthouse", in a dark room on the second floor; Constance doubts her eyesight in the storm; Daisy's insight is a 4 — 00:16:51, 00:17:30, 00:17:48, 00:18:42.
- 00:19:31 Daisy wants Constance and Edwina out; with Katie's suggestion she has Rosalind Crumb show her whole butt (persuasion natural 20, 24); Constance fires Rosalind, who runs out saying it is allowed to steal if she is fired; Constance runs after her and Edwina leaves too — 00:20:00, 00:23:13, 00:24:40, 00:24:54.
- 00:25:49 Daisy questions Catherine alone: she saw him at the second window from the South-East corner about 15 to 20 minutes ago; Brennan points out there are no windows in the Seance Room, so it was one of the bedrooms in the residential wing; Daisy takes Catherine upstairs — 00:26:22, 00:27:32, 00:28:59.
- 00:30:05 Bedroom wing: Ian reports on Constance to Buckster, Sylvester, Lars and Gangie; Buckster reports on Jeremy; Daisy arrives with Catherine; Sylvester insists there are no ghosts, Daisy says she saw the ghost too, and Ian confirms — 00:30:49, 00:32:32, 00:38:31, 00:39:42.
- 00:41:13 Buckster's Frankenstein theory (dead bodies plus electromagnetism); Sylvester says he said "I've seen a ghost" only to be cute and sarcastically agrees to go and look, while Daisy notes that three of them are supposed to stay in the room; Daisy keeps the ledgers hidden on her person — 00:40:36, 00:40:52, 00:41:13, 00:42:04, 00:43:17.

- 00:58:28 Downstairs bathroom: Daisy rolls investigation with advantage and gets a natural 20 on the ledgers (texts from Brennan), then finds a trick portrait with eye holes hiding a small room of pipes and three breakers; she throws the third, the mirror turns transparent, and Sylvester sees a "ghost" of Daisy on the dock — 00:59:47, 01:01:46, 01:02:57, 01:06:21.
- 01:07:18 The table's reaction and guesses: Fletcher Cottonbottom might be in the house, Connor McCabbage "trapped" and alive somewhere and projected through mirrors (all players' theories); Daisy's nat 20 shows a wiring hub with a cable down toward the kitchen wing and another up toward the bedroom wing — 01:07:35, 01:09:49, 01:11:52, 01:12:57.

- 01:28:40 Squire's bedroom: giant standing mirror, a second trick portrait with a dozen breakers labelled CB-SR, MB, T, EW-WC and D; Daisy and the table guess what they stand for — 01:29:36, 01:31:01, 01:32:40.
- 01:33:31 Catherine finds letters in the squire's desk and reads one signed "Sylvester Cross"; a scream sounds from deep in the mansion; initiative — 01:33:56, 01:34:38, 01:34:57.
- 01:36:46 The scream: Ian rushes out, Lars (persuasion 15) gets past the footmen; Gangie (stealth natural 20, 27) slips into the vents; Sylvester has a word with Buckster and goes; Daisy climbs the chimney (acrobatics 19) and finds a secret door between the chimneys of Mrs. Molesly's and the squire's rooms — 01:38:38, 01:40:34, 01:41:43, 01:43:58, 01:46:51, 01:47:07.
