Steve Yockey from “The Flight Attendant,” Jeremy Carver from “Doom Patrol,” and the teams at Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television brings life to Dead Boy Detectives.
The series follows two British teens, Edwin Payne (played by Rexstrew) and Charles Rowland (played by Revri), who are soulless entities, along with their living friend Crystal Palace (played by Kassius Nelson).

Finally, Crystal Buried Down David The Demon In Her Subconsciousness
As a psychic, Crystal could see Emma, making the ghost feel comfortable around her. But things turned dark when Crystal began showing signs of being possessed by a demon.
So, the Dead Boy Detectives, Edwin and Charles, had to perform an exorcism. While it helped, Crystal lost most of her memories, including those of her family and friends.

Crystal teamed up with Edwin and Charles to solve paranormal mysteries and also worked to reclaim her memories from David the Demon.
Crystal sought out Tragic Mick and acquired a wishing stone to create a barrier between her mind and David the Demon.
But in doing so, she lost her psychic abilities, leaving her more vulnerable to David’s influence.
When David attempted to reclaim control over her, Crystal stood her ground, stating that she was no longer “special” to her without her powers.
Thankfully, Crystal’s ancestors instilled in her the value of her beauty and strength. Drawing on this wisdom, she eventually regained her psychic powers.
When the opportunity arose, Crystal extracted David from Jenny, whom he had momentarily possessed, and imprisoned him in a part of her subconscious.
David The Demon Prey On Crystal’s Vulnerabilities And Benefited Most Out Of It
Crystal’s story was like those final girls in horror movies who face off against dangerous demons pretending to be regular people.
Her memory loss during David’s possession was similar to someone being drugged without remembering.
David the Demon enjoyed tormenting Crystal because she had special psychic powers.
He saw these powers as something dangerous that he must control or something he could use for his gain.
Demons like David preferred to make people suffer, and Crystal’s vulnerability and sensitivity to psychic stuff make her the perfect target for his mean tricks.
Consequently, Crystal couldn’t fully be with Charles because David’s presence haunted her, even though they were head over heels with one another.
Additional Information
- After reviving the memory, Crystal discovered she wasn’t a good person. Crystal misused her psychic abilities to trick security guards and harm people she didn’t like.
- Charles and Edwin assured Crystal that they would keep her place open at their detective agency because she had done many good deeds.
- There is no hint of a sequel to the Netflix series Dead Boy Detectives, but the ending suggests a possible future story.
