A new Door opened because of me.
I need the ledger to help me close it.
Once the new door is closed, what then?
I'll return.
That's gold, Kal.
Keep access tight.

Why did you abandon us?
I should rip your heart out

That thing was going to
cut my head clean off.
- You're my hero.
- She could have been saved.
Hallelujah.
One step from Bible
study and bake sales.
No, really, she could have been saved.
I understand her.
My whole life, I felt
like this cockroach,
so when someone treated
me, you know, I
good or I don't
know, what's the word?
- With, like, kindness?
- Trust?
I was theirs.
I cheated my way into
the position of Guardian.
Thought I'll play the hero, win love.
Johannes showed me
I'm a selfish nothing.
Carrie Ecker, the disappointment.
I began to think, I'm so worthless.
Doesn't everybody?
I ate its hatred like fruit.
We all have selfish thoughts.
You are the strongest,
most loyal person I know.
- You don't know what I did.
- Try me.
- You'll hate me.
- Try me.
I let out the beast that started this.

Those fuckers put a child

Innocence is a virtue.
You know what my responsibilities are?
Like, literally, just the dishes,

I make sandwiches
because, voila, no dishes.

If someone came to me and was like,
"Tasha, guard the literal gate to hell."
Minutes.
- Yeah, it's not true.
- Girl, yes.
My mom saw that and then, poof, dead.
So you're right.
Maybe everything can heal.
We're working on it.
Okay, good.
