Previously on "School Spirits"
They found Maddie's backpack? Where?
D deserted house.
Wait, you died at the homecoming game?
Yeah, and my family still
shows up for me every year.
Did you say anything about me?
I don't remember.
Is it hard seeing him?
It's getting easier, especially now that
I'm 95% sure he didn't kill me.
Win back Claire's confidence,
and then you crack her.
How am I gonna do that?
Tell him to ask her to
the homecoming dance.
Ask her to the homecoming dance.
You're shitting me.
- Do you wanna go to the dance with me?
- Sure, Wally.
I'm guessing this is how
Claire dragged your body out of here.
You what?
I just can't
a football player?
Shh! Keep your voice down.
You waited to be dead
to go to a school dance
with a jock?
Who are you now?
I'm changing the subject.
I would rather talk about my murder
and my maybe murderer, Claire, please.
Simon.
That's so gross.
Is it, Chloe?
I mean, I just think it's gross
that you're being so judgmental.
Isn't your boyfriend the
guy who's been wearing
the same boat shoes without socks
since the seventh grade?
And yet, I've never brought that up.
Xavier is hot and original.
And he's been through a lot.
Expand your horizons, ladies.
And we're sure he didn't
murder his girlfriend?
Yes, we're sure.
Wait, I heard she ran away.
Then why would her blood
be on the wall, dumbass?
[CELL PHONE BUZZES]

He has other shoes.

Claire said yes.
- Told you it would work.
- That's good.
Shit. What now?
Operation Claire we
crack her at the dance.
Operation Claire we
crack her at the dance.
Crack her? What does that even mean?
Get her to admit what she did.
The blackmail, for starters.
We know she's blackmailing
Anderson for grades, right?
When they got that video, they freaked.
And if Anderson didn't do it
Then Claire definitely did.
We need to confirm
she took Maddie's phone
and smashed it
and what else she may have smashed,
like Maddie's head.
- Simon.
- Jesus. Come on.
- Nice.
- What? We need the truth.
Does the truth have to be so
graphic while we're eating?
You need to charm
Claire into a confession
and record it on your phone.
Get her to admit she
dragged Maddie's body
- out the fallout shelter.
- Charm her?
Last week she was pretending
I didn't even exist.
How did that feel?
I don't even know why she said yes.
Maybe she still thinks you're hot.
He's gotta look hotter.
But you need to look hotter.
She did ask if I had a suit.
- Do you?
- No.
- Well, Nicole can help.
- Nicole,
take him to the mall, find him a suit.
Why, 'cause I'm a girl?
[CHUCKLES]
- This needs something.
- Fine.
- Yeah.
- BOTH: Ketchup.
Are you sure you're okay with this?
You mean setting up my
cheating ex-boyfriend
and my traitor ex-friend?
It's a great plan.
Stop looking at me like that
or I'm gonna change my mind.

Ghosts can have allergies.
That's good to know.
Yeah, poor Charley will never
know the glory of a peanut M&M.
Even dead he still swells up.
- Really?
- Yeah.
So are you thinking dress or suit?
- Dress.
- Well, that's a statement
for a homecoming dance.
Surprised you'd go frilly.
That's really [SQUEALS]
I'm surprised you're
going to this thing at all.
It doesn't totally track with you.
Well, how can one revolt
if they've never assimilated?
Weak reasoning.
But I'll let it slide.
I guess I'm just surprised you guys
are throwing yourselves into this.
You know, Wally's acting
like it's the first time
he's ever even heard of a dance.
Yeah, well, he's been going to
this thing alone for 37 years.
So brava, I suppose,
for helping him tackle
this unfinished business.
We don't always get second
chances on this side.
I have a question,
but you can't laugh.
Okay, well, I can't
guarantee anything, but shoot.
Can ghosts have sex?
I said we can swell, didn't I?
Oh. So you've all

We have needs.
We have a past. We all do.
We all do, right?
[PLAYFUL MUSIC]
Maddie Nears, did you die a virgin?
Uh hello.
I just wanted to come and check in
and make sure that, um,
with everything going on,
finding out that you may
have possibly been dragged
through a murder tunnel and all that,
um, I wanted to see if you
were still up to go to the

You might wanna check with them.
I mean, I'm wearing clothes but
Why the text?
Uh, wh what do you mean?
Why now?
[TENSE MUSIC]
I mean, I I wrote it a while ago.
I just I figured
I felt bad about the way I
treated you, and it just

I guess I
I miss you.
Oh, you guess.
I know I miss you.

Pick you up at 7:00 tomorrow.
You don't want me to drive?
- I wanna drive.
- You do?
Why?
My car has a bigger
back seat than yours.

You want Simon to copy
this and give it to him?
It's only 16 pages.
Front and back.
I mean, "I've been watching
you for the past 28 years."
Charley, Mr. Figueroa or Emilio,
he's gonna think that
you're messing with him.
Yeah, I didn't I
didn't think about that.
I mean
He's in his what now, 40s?
And isn't he married to some guy?
Okay, wow.
Stab me in the chest, why don't you?
Sorry, it's just, what
exactly are you trying to say?
Well, I just I said
some awful things back then.
You know? I was so mad.
So now I just I
I just wanna apologize.
Yeah, I hear you.
But, you know, I think
this should read like 1994,
when you were alive.
I want him to know me now.
I know. But all you can say
is that you didn't mean those words
and that you forgive him.
Ugh. Okay.
Note taken.
One last thing.
You know once he reads the letter,
you're gonna have to
forgive yourself, right?
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Start living your life or whatever,
or living your death.
Live your death.
I love that.
I'm gonna put that on a T-shirt.

[CELL PHONE BUZZES]
- Ope!
- Sorry.
- Jesus.
- Fuck.
What about checking the
metadata on the phone?
- Are you able to pull that up?
- No, I I did.
There's nothing no date, no place,
nothing about the phone it was shot on.
- That's weird.
- Yeah.
Of all the questions
and there are many
this one seems like a big one.
Someone took that video, Nicole.
It doesn't matter who
took the video, all right?
The point is, Claire thinks
Maddie took the video.
So that's what we should focus on, okay?
Where's your car?
Oh, my parents weren't
thrilled I got called in
by the cops for questioning,
so it's cycle city for
the foreseeable future.
Guess I'm driving to the dance.
I'll see you tomorrow, okay?
Yo, Simon.
Simon.
I think Claire's playing us.
- He's bailing?
- What do you mean?
It's crazy that she said yes, right?
Not that crazy.
It was a pretty convincing text.
Of course it was. I wrote it.
And she cornered me in
the locker room earlier
like she was cornering
prey, I swear to God.
Oh, please. You're hardly prey, Xavier.
Hm. Did you talk?
She's picking me up at 7:00 tomorrow.
Good.
And she sent me a photo.
Like, a nude?
[HUFFS] Not exactly. I
I I feel like I'm
walking into a trap.
Funny. I don't recall you being scared
when you were hooking
up in your back seat.
Yo, are you listening to me?
I don't think this is a great plan.
Simon, tell him he can't back out now.
You can't back out now, Xavier.
- He owes me.
- You owe me.
I owe you?
Maddie.
[TENSE MUSIC]
You owe Maddie.

I look stupid.
Anything Harry Styles would wear
is the opposite of stupid.
I I just don't really feel like
I can pull off high-waisted pants.
And do they have to be orange?
It's called fashion, Xavier.
Oh. You know you're not
wearing pants, right?
Yeah. If I'm getting killed tonight,
it's not gonna be in anything orange.
Thank you.
Where's the blue suit?
Uh, it's over here. I got it.
Are you seriously worried
Claire might hurt you?
Xavier?
I don't know.
Maybe.
I thought I knew her.
Maybe I don't.
There's no turning back now.
- What's this?
- When I was cleaning up,
I found this essay Maddie wrote
for her college application.
I hate doing stuff online,
but I don't want her
to miss any deadline.
She already turned it in.
Early decision.
Uh, we both did.
Well, I thought Nicole said
something about a deadline.
For her. Nicole's submitting a portfolio
- for art school in Chicago.
- Oh.
The idea is we'd all be
together in the same city.
At least that was that was the plan.
It still is.
Maddie is coming home.
They found her backpack at that house
and evidence that someone's
been sleeping there.
I have to believe
that she's coming back.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
You're right. I'm, uh
I'm sorry.
♪
She hasn't tried to
reach out to you at all?
You would let me know
if she had, wouldn't you?
Of course.
I should go.
I gotta get ready. Tonight's homecoming.
Going to my first high school dance.
Oh, that's sweet.
Will you send me some pictures?
You know, I always thought
that it would be nice
if you and Maddie went to that together.

[CHUCKLES] Well, you can thank
the theater's costume department
and Dawn's gift with the
home ec sewing machine,
although it's really unsettling
to watch her laugh
with pins in her mouth.
[CHUCKLES] Uh, yeah.
Well, speaking of gifts, I, um
57?
Your football number?
Yeah. Ah, shit.
You hate this, don't you? I'm sorry.
- No.
- This I'm embarrassed.
No, this is so stupid.
It's so stupid. It's just something
we used to do back in the '80s.
- It's a thing, you know?
- Wally
- As a football player
- It's sweet.
Yeah. [CLEARS THROAT]
It was hard to find
flowers, so I had to,
uh, use paper, as you can see.

Here we go.
Whoo!
Hm.
That's very generous, Claire.
Oh, it's nothing.
My parents just wanted to show
their support for your re-election.
Well, I'll be sure to give 'em a call.
Let me just see what's
taking Xavier so long.
Oh, no rush.
No, I'm early.
My mom always says, if
you're on time, you're late.
Yeah. Her meds are helping with that.
I'm just glad the school
didn't cancel homecoming.
Yeah, this year has been unreal.
First Maddie and then Mr. Anderson
Yeah, it's nothing you
kids need to worry about.
- The police are on it.
- It's hard not
to wonder though if we'll
ever have any answers.
Are there any updates?
Mm, nothing I can share quite yet.
My parents keep asking why
Anderson's not speaking.
Or is he?
Do we think he had anything to do
with what happened to Maddie?
It's an ongoing investigation, Claire.
But, uh, be sure to tell you folks
we're very thankful they're cooperating
while we continue to search
the abandoned property.
Will you?

Hey.
I I couldn't find my belt.
Wow.

This is your influence, I'm guessing.

Yeah, you look great.
Thanks.
Make sure he behaves himself, will you?
And you, you better
look after that suit.
You know, your grandfather
had a suit like that
had it his whole life.
He was buried in it.
[POP MUSIC PLAYING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
What? It's called psychological torture.
- I guess.
- Her penetrating gaze
watches over us, especially Claire.
Uh-huh.
If you really got something to hide,
her eyes follow you.
Yeah, no, I get it. Stop.
Hey. Did you put that up there?
Is that a problem?
No, no, it's a really nice gesture.
She should be here, at
least in our thoughts.
Please. No one even knew her.
The last place Maddie
would wanna be is here.
Yeah, I wanted to tell her
mom that, but I couldn't.
This morning Sandra
said she always thought
Maddie and I would end up
going to homecoming together.
Hm. I can see that.
What? Why?
Please, you never thought about it?
Nope.
Maybe once, but I
I shut it down immediately.
Yeah, yeah.
She's my best friend.
The stakes are way too high.
When was the last time you wore a suit?
The only dance I've ever been to
was a middle school mixer,
and I was only there
'cause my band was playing.
Cute.

Hi.

Look, Maddie, you know I hate to brag.

I couldn't put on the crown,

night before the dance?
No. No. Hell, no.

there could be something else.
Nice work.
And you thought you
could bring me down here
to what, Xavier, to what?
To force a confession out of me?
Did you kill her, Claire?
I know you swapped Maddie's phone.
Is that why you wanted to drive tonight,
so when you picked me up
you could get some answers
out of my dad, huh?

maybe I should have shown my dad this.

Other people, so deleting it's
not gonna make a difference.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Jesus.
I figured out Mr. Anderson was dealing.
Okay, and and I saw an opportunity,
and I took it.
Okay, people do this shit every day.
It was one class.
I just needed an A, Xavier.
I told Mr. Anderson
that if he gave me an A,
I wouldn't say anything about the money.
What about Maddie's phone?
Why'd you swap it?
What'd you do with the real one?
We thought Maddie took the video.
And I just wanted to delete it.
But I couldn't unlock it,
so I gave it to Mr. Anderson, okay?
He was the one that got rid of it.
You better not be lying to me.
I told him to pay her off,
to to give her the
money, whatever she wanted.
But that is all I did.
For me, there is no room for failure.
Okay, and maybe that seems dumb to you.
Everyone just thinks
that I have it so easy.
But do you know how much work it takes
to make everything look easy?
I know we made a mistake,
Anderson and I,
you and I, cheating.
I have been terrified.
Everything just it spun
out of control so fast.
I didn't hurt Maddie.
I don't know what happened to her.
But it wasn't me.
