The episode "Family Tree" continues the mystical journey of the Locke family. The episode opens with a gruesome scene of an unknown man tearing his own throat, and as the camera pans out, we see the strange markings on the man's neck, indicating that he has come across one of the keys. Meanwhile, the Locke siblings, Tyler, Kinsey, and Bode, are trying to uncover the secrets of their family history and the hidden keys in their house.

As they search through the various artifacts in their house, they discover a genealogy chart that shows their family tree in great detail. The chart reveals that their father, Rendell Locke, had a younger brother named Duncan, whom they never knew existed. Excited to explore this new branch of their family tree, the siblings set out to find Duncan and learn more about their mysterious past.

Their search leads them to a small island off the coast of Massachusetts where Duncan lives in seclusion. Here, they find him living in a ramshackle cabin, surrounded by books and artifacts from all over the world. Duncan, who suffers from mental illness, is initially wary of the siblings and reluctant to reveal any information about their family secrets. But with some coaxing from the siblings, he finally agrees to share his knowledge.

Duncan reveals that the Locke family has a long and dark history, dating back to the early 1700s, when their ancestors arrived in America. Throughout the centuries, various members of the family have discovered keys with incredible powers. One of these keys, called the Omega Key, is rumored to open a doorway to a mysterious realm, where unimaginable powers are said to exist. However, unlocking the Omega Key also comes with severe consequences, as it requires sacrificing a life.

Meanwhile, as Tyler and Kinsey continue to search for the keys, they discover that their mother, Nina, has been hiding a secret as well. Nina, who has been struggling with alcoholism since the death of her husband, has been seeing a therapist to cope with her grief. However, Nina's therapist is revealed to be a member of an ancient order that is trying to get their hands on the keys. The siblings realize that their family is in danger and must protect the keys at all costs.

As the episode concludes, the siblings are left with even more questions than answers. Who was the man with the strange markings on his neck? What other secrets is Nina hiding? And most importantly, what other keys are waiting to be discovered in the Locke house?

"Family Tree" is a thrilling episode that adds even more layers to an already intricate plot. The character of Duncan is a fascinating addition to the show, bringing a new perspective to the story. The episode leaves the viewers with a satisfying balance of revelations and mystery, ensuring that they will keep tuning in for more.
