Before we wrap up today,
I'm giving you an assignment.
- May I interrupt?
- What's that?
Some sample obituaries just to inspire.
We're all just trying to cross over.
I mean, Janet did it,
and she had been here since, like, 1960.
But the alternative is Dawn.
Mrs. Nears, I know it looks
like I harmed your daughter,
but nothing could be
further from the truth.
[TIRES SCREECHING]
[LIGHTS BUZZING]
- Dawn just crossed over.
- Does anybody remember
- this happening when Janet left?
- Nope.
- Need to talk to my mother.
- Why?
I think she may have killed me.

I know it's not what we

I had this when I went to look for her.
And I didn't have it
when I showed up here.
Si, she couldn't
There could be a completely logical,
non-murderous explanation for this.
Get her here.
I always know when she's lying.
I know all her tells.
If you can get her in a room with me
or with us, you can talk to her,
and we can figure out if my mom
Okay.
Okay, I'll figure something out.
Simon?
Yesterday, what you
said about whether or not
us figuring it out means me moving on
Don't worry about that right now.
I was being selfish.
You're never selfish.
Maddie, if it was her,
are you sure you wanna know?
- [SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
- Are you insane?
That is the worst possible idea.
You know, play that out
in your head real quick.
Hi, Sheriff, I blackmailed
a teacher for money
and maybe accidentally
framed my missing best friend.
You've arrested a person who
couldn't have kidnapped her
because while they
were being questioned,
I decided to bury my
recently stolen hush money,
so you'll just have
to take my word for it?
And in addition to this all sounding
absolutely unbelievable, if we
if we confess, then what's next?
Look, I know we messed up bad.
But we're talking about our futures.
What about his?

There has to be another way. Okay?
If we go confess now without
any proof to back us up,
then it's over.
And the real killer gets away.
- And the light
- Yes.
- That she always stares at.
- Yeah.
At the same time as the goosebumps.
- It stopped flickering.
- Simultaneous goosebumps.
- You felt it too.
- Did you guys have them?
And the hum. The it was this
I mean, we we all heard the noise.
It it was impossible
to miss. [SPLUTTERING]
Nothing like that
happened when Janet left.
I mean, what what are
we missing here, Mr. Martin?
Well, no, I mean, I
I realize it's odd,
but maybe there
there's no correlation
between what happened with Janet and
and what happened with Dawn.
I mean, maybe it's entirely
different experiences.
Was there anything weird
about the day that Janet departed?
Was there any weird
sounds or or lights?
No.
No. There was nothing strange
about the day that Janet crossed over.
She was simply there one
moment and and gone the next.
I'm I'm not sure why
this is any different.
That doesn't make any sense.
After all these years,
how can you still be so clueless?
Excuse me, Charley. I'm
I'm not sure that's fair.
But what what if looking
back isn't a bad thing?
What if it's actually the
the key to get out of here?
Why shouldn't we at least try that?
Because it's painful to
constantly be thinking about it!
Right?
To to relive it all.
Painful how?
The day I died,
I made a mistake.
I turned my back on a
student for a split second,
and there was an error, a fatal error.
There was a fire.
I managed I managed to save my class,
but not myself.
Doesn't that make you a hero then?
A martyr?
It wasn't even your fault.
I was the teacher.
I should have been
paying closer attention.
I should have known what was going on.
Instead my my students
had to live with the memory

I told her I was sorry for what she saw
during the anti-séance,
you know, sorry that
anyone treated her that way
when she didn't deserve it,
'cause she didn't.
It wasn't her fault.
Yeah.
We weren't always so
great to her either.
I guess she finally just
heard what she needed to hear.
What would you do if the one person
who was supposed to protect
you is the one who hurt you?

job is to keep you safe?
I feel like for the first

What do you think Maddie
would think about that?
I found out last week
that Maddie was selected
to receive the fall English award.
I know it's short
notice, but I was thinking
maybe you'd like to
accept it on her behalf.
It starts at 7:00.
You could even say a

No.
No, Maddie's mom should accept it.
Okay.
I'll let her know.

Anybody got eyes on him?

Yep.
What now?
Was that call about Mr. South?
What do you want, Xavier?
Come on, Dad. There is no way
that Mr. South had anything to
do with Maddie's disappearance.
I I was with him the
day that she went missing.
I I've told you this a million times.
Well, I'm busy.
I also know he couldn't
have been in those houses.
The person that I saw in the house

Mr. South can barely

Things were weird earlier.

- Good for her.
That doesn't help me.
Yeah, okay. But what if it could?
We were there.
Dawn found something yesterday
in the séance, right?
She must have unlocked something
something huge.
We never saw her cross over.
Yeah, but we felt it.
Right? I mean, she was able
to conjure her memories,
and she made it out.
Can't you just slow down on all of this?
See, th-this is what I'm talking about.
Where is this coming from?
You you were in some
big rush to cross over,
and and now you wanna slow down.
You're out of your depth, Charley.

It looks like it's been broken into.
Should we go in?
Uh, yeah, 'cause that's worked
so well for you in the past.
Good point.
Look, I say we just sit and watch, wait.
If there's movement or something weird,
then we got a closer look.
You know, like a stakeout.
Awesome.
Few hours with you guys cramped in a car
is exactly how I wanted to
spend my Wednesday night.
Are you finding anything?
Dude, this thing was
old when I went here.
[SIGHS] Dawn found something yesterday
when she looked into her past,
and Janet must have done the same.
So so maybe if we
look into their pasts too,
we can find something that
could explain all of this.
What year are you on?
Uh, 1959.
I'm trying to move backwards,
but I am not seeing
Janet's name anywhere.
She died in 1960, right?
Yeah. No, nothing of much interest
in Dawn's student file either.
You know, I
I know we weren't super close, but
I feel kind of awful
that we didn't get
to say goodbye to her.

happen that way for me.
I didn't get a goodbye last time.
I do not want to just disappear.

understand what is going on.

for a national pilot program
to protect students and teachers

be built below the
east wing of the school,
the same location where fire destroyed
the former chemistry lab
on January 14th, 1958."

Does does it mention him?
I don't see oh, yes.

if she got the award?
She would say, "What's the point

about that last day.
Sandra, what do you
remember about that day
when you came to school
looking for Maddie?
Why are you asking about that?
For the speech.

something meaningful
She's gonna try to bail.
I shouldn't do this.
