Episode synopsis
In a small town in Alberta a boy named Wilbur poking around an antiques store finds an old puzzle box which magically unseals itself. At Torrington Academy Diana teases Martin about his insect phobias and being a scardey-cat. They're called to The Centre and sent with Java to investigate a wave of odd occurances in the Alberta town. Wilbur now looks to be half goat and his condition is progressing. Also a farmhouse was destroyed by a storm that appeared and disappeared almost immediately. They find an odd symbol burned into the ground at the farmhouse then things get dangerous when the local sawmill starts running without anyone in it and a giant saw blade breaks free and chases Martin, Diana & Java's car. Martin decoys the blade into embedding itself in a rock then uses the Legendex to identify the symbol as an ancient Arabian symbol meaning Chaos.
