Season 1 finale entitled, "She Talks to Angels", had Garrett (Alberto Frezza) and the remaining counselors fighting the demons. Before the show comes to an end, a final kiss and other life-changing events happen. There are also two major deaths in the show.
In the final scenes, Amy revealed that Holyoke's last piece of soul is inside Jessie. This leaves Amy as the last survivor standing. When she finds herself outnumbered, she raises some of her old friends from the dead.
Meanwhile, Jessie and Garrett discovered that Joel had recorded the hymn of Holyoke on his camera. This left them enough time to kill Amy. Later on the show, Garrett is found dead during battle.
