Joined by Agent Park, who is entirely too casual about accepting everything the Drew Crew presents to him, they attempt to dissuade the light monster with their sorrows instead, including his own story of a young child killed in a school shooting.

Temperance pushes Nancy away and is struck, then forced to “feed” her heartbreaks to the monster. In attempting to capture the second Frozen Hearts Killer, now known as the Copperhead, Nancy and Bess inadvertently capture some kind of beast seemingly made of lighting. Nancy Drew Season 3 Episode 8, “The Burning of the Sorrows,” does its best to get us to fully empathize with her– at least until the final minutes.

All season, Temperance has existed in a moral grey area and been foreshadowed as a likely villain.
