“Book 27” Plot – David, Kristen and Ben assess whether a pregnant woman is possessed when she claims one of the twins she’s carrying is evil.

Also, Kristen questions one of her daughters’ capacity for evil upon realizing that she also used that fertility clinic.



The Season 1 Plot, Courtesy of CBS:

Evil is a psychological mystery that examines the origins of evil along the dividing line between science and religion. The series focuses on a skeptical female psychologist who joins a priest-in-training and a carpenter as they investigate the Church’s backlog of unexplained mysteries, including supposed miracles, demonic possessions and hauntings. Their job is to assess if there’s a logical explanation or if something truly supernatural is at work.”
