Poison
1 [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Everyone seems okay, I think.
Yeah, they're weirdly calm, though, right? About the whole other universe thing.
- [ALLIE.]
Yeah.
- I think we're missing our families.
- That takes up a lot of attention.
- Yeah.
Or they're just in food comas.
Or that.
Hey.
- Hey.
- Is Sam coming? Did you text him? Three times.
You're not worried? He's been up so late taking care of me.
He probably just fell asleep.
So we can celebrate later.
Hey, everyone.
Hi.
Um So, at Thanksgiving, my mom used to ask us to say what we're thankful for.
[EVERYONE GROANS.]
[HELENA.]
Oh, come on.
Nobody? Do I have to go first? All right.
Um I'm thankful for how hard my team fought at touch football.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
Yeah.
Oh, and I'm thankful that Luke hasn't lost his throwing arm.
Let's give it up for Luke! Uh, I'm thankful I can get stoned every day without my parents on my ass.
[ALL LAUGH AND CHEER.]
Truth! Though, I miss them giving me a hard time.
Well, I'm thankful for Clark.
For saying what we've all been thinking.
You know, we all miss home.
We miss our moms, dads.
What we want to say is, "Wait for us.
You know We'll find our way back.
" I also want to say thank you to everybody who cooked tonight.
Toast, a toast! To all the cooks! - [BOY.]
Whoo! - [GIRL.]
Yeah.
[CAMPBELL.]
Hey.
Toast to the cooks, right? Um, I have something I'm really thankful for.
[SIGHS.]
I'm gonna marry Luke.
Who does still have his throwing arm, and he's also the love of my life.
You're all invited.
Um, it's going to be the first wedding in the new world, so hit me up if you know how to make a wedding cake.
Dessert to celebrate! [CAMPBELL.]
What you doing? What? I thought you hated pumpkin pie.
I just needed to make sure that it tasted all right.
- Okay.
- Our table didn't get pumpkin.
- [BEAN.]
Okay, we're ready.
- [COUGHS.]
It's the improv class! [BEAN.]
Okay, everybody.
Thank you.
Thanks, you guys.
- We are exited to - They're probably gonna suck.
[SHUSHES.]
They've been practicing.
Yeah, practicing sucking.
We are going to put on a play for you right now that's never been done before.
Can I have a situation from the audience, please? Uh, Thanksgiving dinner! So imaginative, Clark.
- [BOY 1.]
Rap battle.
- [BOY 2.]
Rainy day.
- [BOY 3.]
Football game! - Field trip! Field trip! We can do that.
All aboard for the national park! You're either on the bus, or you're off the bus! [IMITATES DOOR CLOSING.]
Are we there yet? I have to pee! [SQUEALS.]
[BOY.]
Final destination! These woods go on forever.
Are we lost? Who decided we should go on a stupid field trip, anyway? Olivia did.
[SOFTLY.]
Hey! [BEAN.]
What if there are wolves and bears in the woods? [CACKLES MENACINGLY.]
Oh, no! It's an evil witch! And I cast a spell on all of you! [AUDIENCE LAUGHS.]
[SAM.]
So did you ever notice me before? Yeah, of course.
That's why I stayed away.
Why? 'Cause I was caught up in being straight.
You were very convincing.
Not to my mom.
She noticed early.
I really loved tap dancing, so she signed me up for peewee football.
She thought she was making your life easier.
Yeah.
Somewhere there's a picture of me in that tap class with a feather boa.
I need to see that picture.
[LAUGHS.]
I was always really good at football, so it was easy just to be like my friends.
But now, I sort of feel like I'm 12 years old again.
I'm starting over.
Is that Is that weird? - Uh-uh.
- No? Like, I should send a girl with a note that says "Dear Sam, do you like Grizz? Yes or no?" You have to ask? [LEXIE.]
Eye of newt and toe of dog, I turn you into a frog! [IMITATES FROG.]
Somebody kiss me! And I turn you into an ancient crone! [IMITATES AN OLD WOMAN.]
Oh, I knew I should've done Botox! Will no one stop this witch? I'll stop the witch! Who died and left you in charge? My sister! [BLAKE.]
Your sister? Yes, my sister.
I make the rules now! And you'll eat what I tell you to eat, and you'll sleep where I tell you to sleep.
And you'll work for me! [JESSICA.]
[IMITATES OLD WOMAN.]
Oh, no! Nothing but drudgery 'til we all die of old age! [GASPS, CHOKES.]
[GASPS.]
[LEXIE.]
Wait a minute.
It wasn't old age.
There's a bullet in her heart! I'm Sherlock Frog, detective.
Because my quads are killing me.
And I believe there's a murderer in these woods! Yes.
And the murderer was you! Arrest him! [BOY.]
Me? But I'm a totally innocent detective! [LEXIE CRIES.]
Oh, the crone! She was my sister! I will be avenged! The killer must die! You! Kill the frog detective.
I can't.
Oh, my God.
If you want anything done around here, you have to do it yourself.
[IMITATES GUNSHOT.]
Okay, great show, guys.
No! You can't stop me! I'm in charge here! I am the witch! [WILL.]
Yeah, we get it.
You dare to defy my power? I'm not in this improv, Lexie.
Oh, but you are.
You are a henchman.
Arrest the henchman! That's enough, I think.
And scene! [LEXIE.]
Off with their heads! I told you, people are not fine! They might be quiet, but that's not the same thing.
They're scared.
And they're angry at me.
- [WILL.]
It was just an improv - About me.
I don't know.
I mean, they got carried away.
Allie, I am so sorry.
- Was that planned? - What? No, we didn't know what the audience was gonna say.
I swear we didn't mean anything by it.
Lexie meant something.
What do you want to do? Do you want to bring Lexie in? Talk to her? And say what? What, that she's not allowed to say anything that makes me mad? [SIGHS.]
I feel terrible.
I'm so sorry, Allie.
No.
Uh It's my stomach.
[CHUCKLES.]
I think I ate too much.
I'm gonna go to bed.
Aren't you glad that we went? That was a good thing to do, right? Mm-hmm.
I mean, the improv was a shit show.
[CHUCKLES.]
Mm-hmm.
Was your pie good? No.
Gonna try that again? Try what? Making another pie.
I don't think so.
You okay? What's You don't look so good.
[BREATHES DEEPLY.]
- Hey.
- Hey.
I wasn't sure you could get away.
Is Allie freaked out? Yeah.
That was She's sleeping now.
I think she'll be better in the morning.
[CHUCKLES.]
How did you know how to do that? From living in a house full of fake stuff.
It was a weird Thanksgiving, huh? I don't know.
Don't most people feel weird after Thanksgiving? It used to be my favorite holiday.
The whole family together and lots of games.
Like tackle touch football? Come on, I had to take you out.
[LAUGHS.]
Yeah.
Did I hurt you? No.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
No.
I might need a rematch.
Then watch out.
Fair warning.
What do we do until then? Can I? [GIGGLES.]
Yes.
Yeah? These buttons are so tiny.
[EXHALES.]
You are so Sorry! - [BOTH LAUGH.]
- I'm so sorry! It's okay.
I'm getting used to it.
[GROANS.]
Will? [RETCHES.]
Will! Allie, are you okay? Where's Will? Um, I'll find him.
Just wait here.
I'm not going anywhere.
The first time I saw you, you were outside of school.
Your first day.
Wait.
Was that before or after Harry talked shit about my shoes? I'd forgotten about that.
Before.
[WILL SIGHS DEEPLY.]
I didn't see you then.
You didn't say anything.
Sorry.
I guess I was I was kind of a jerk.
It's okay.
I did notice you.
- Yeah? - Yeah, later.
And? [CELLPHONE DINGS.]
Shit.
It's Bean.
Something's wrong with Allie.
I mean, if we get married in this world and then go back to that one, would we still be married? Yeah.
Yeah, I think parallel universes recognize marriages.
You know, it'll be like like moving to a different state.
You know? Something's happening to me.
[HELENA.]
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I just saw her whole Thanksgiving dinner backward, pumpkin pie first.
I want my mom.
[GROANS.]
Hey.
It's Kelly.
Erika's sick, too.
Marnie's puking.
I'm gonna be sick again.
Tell Kelly to get people to the clinic.
Okay.
[COUGHS.]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
[CAMPBELL.]
What you doing in there? [SOFTLY.]
I'm throwing up.
- [CAMPBELL.]
Hmm? - Go away.
[CAMPBELL.]
I just got a text.
People are sick.
Are you? Yes.
Just go away.
[CAMPBELL.]
Elle.
[BREATHES HEAVILY.]
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean [CAMPBELL.]
I can't hear you.
[GASPS FOR BREATH.]
Just go away! [CAMPBELL.]
All right.
I'm coming in, all right? Oh, shit.
Fuck.
[KELLY.]
Bean, I need the Pedialyte! - No, no.
- She has to stay hydrated.
Give her small sips.
Oh, God.
How is she doing? She just keeps throwing up.
Oh, fuck.
This is bad, honey.
- Babe, you should go home.
It's fine.
- I'm sorry.
- She won't keep that down! - I don't know what else to do.
Can you put in an IV? You fucking kidding? Of course I can't! We are so not prepared for this! I got food poisoning at my cousin's wedding and I took this pill to stop the dry heaving.
Can you find that? Under what? Your cousin's wedding in the index? You wanna look? Don't know what's wrong with me.
I can barely walk.
There's a bed down over there.
I'll be over in a minute.
Oh, shit.
How many are there? Look, could you do an IV? No, no, absolutely not.
Read how, okay? You can help me.
I'm gonna go get the supplies.
Help! She's had a fit or something.
- Is she breathing? - Yeah, I think so.
- [KELLY.]
Shit.
- [CAMPBELL.]
Right? [KELLY.]
She had a seizure maybe.
Help me get her to a bed.
- [HELENA.]
You have to try the IV! - [KELLY.]
Gordie! I'll do it! Get me the instructions! [GORDIE.]
Okay, tie the tourniquet.
Swab with alcohol in little circles.
[GORDIE.]
Here, the air's out.
I don't know where the vein is.
Tap it.
That's what they do.
Just fucking do it, Kelly! It won't hurt her.
She's out.
Come on.
- I think I missed.
- Try it again.
- [KELLY.]
Shit! - [GORDIE.]
Ah, that's good.
Oh, my God.
Jesus.
[KELLY.]
And then what? I think that's it.
All right.
Okay.
[BREATHLESSLY.]
Where were you? I couldn't I'm sorry.
I didn't know you were sick.
I want to die.
No, no, no.
Don't say that.
It's okay.
Then I won't feel like this.
Okay.
- Shh.
You're gonna get better.
- No, it's okay, Will.
Can you just tell my parents [SIGHS.]
Tell my parents I'm sorry.
[WILL.]
Kelly? Hey, Kelly! - Help her, please! - Hang on! I need another IV kit.
[HELENA.]
Hey, I'm here.
Are you praying for me? No.
I mean, yes, of course, but you're gonna be okay.
Can you Can you tell God that I'm sorry? Shh.
No, no, no.
You're gonna be okay.
Look, Kelly put in an IV.
Look.
What? What? No, no, no.
I don't want it.
No, no, no! Elle, you have to stop.
No, no, no! Can you take it out? - Take it out, please! - [HELENA.]
Elle, we can't take it out.
Shit.
[HELENA SHUSHES.]
Have you been throwing up? No, it's my stomach and my back.
I think it's the baby.
Oh, my God.
Can you not have this baby right now? Where's Sam? I don't know.
I don't know.
I just really feel awful.
Okay, we need to get you to the bed away from these sick people.
Gordie, leave that with Will.
Look up "preterm labor" and find Sam.
[CELLPHONE VIBRATES.]
It's yours.
Mine's off.
Shit, you have, like, 30 messages.
I think you really have to go.
Yeah.
[ALLIE.]
Oh.
Can I get you something to eat? No.
Not yet.
More delicious Pedialyte? I'm never having that stuff again.
They make ice pops, too.
How do you even know that? Reading the product info.
I've had some time on my hands.
I really thought I was gonna die.
Yeah? But you thought you were gonna die when you sprained your ankle playing dodgeball.
You were always a terrible patient.
Like you're any better.
I am.
I'm stoic and tough.
You're tough, but you're not stoic.
Last time you had a cold, you bitched so much you gave it to me.
- Your complaining gave it to me.
- That's not true.
It is.
The germs, they just wafted out of you every time you complained.
It was a really bad cold.
Oh, yeah.
- It was! - Pfft! [WILL.]
Don't pfft me.
I'm serious! That was a terrible cold.
You have no sympathy.
Stop.
[GROANS.]
I may need to get up soon and go to the bathroom.
Okay.
Is that dangerous? [DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES.]
I don't think so.
I mean, I feel better, so Hey, Grizz.
Hi.
Welcome to the sickbay.
[GRIZZ.]
Yeah, I came to see how everyone was.
You're pregnant.
[BECCA.]
Yeah.
But, um, Kelly thinks I'll be okay if I just stay in bed.
I'm following his example.
I mean, he was so tired.
He slept straight through Thanksgiving.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
But we were just talking about names.
Do you Do you want to help? Yeah, sure.
What's your real name, Grizz? Uh, Gareth.
Gareth? I really like that.
Yeah.
Do you? Okay, well, we have to choose something.
So Wait Sam, this is It's your baby? Yeah.
Okay.
We were surprised, too.
Wow.
Um - Congratulations.
- [BECCA.]
Thanks.
I'm really happy for you guys.
[BECCA.]
Sam.
What can I do? Nothing.
It could be a virus.
[KELLY.]
No one had a fever.
And everyone at once? So it was food poisoning.
No, I don't think so because people are getting better too fast.
Food poisoning would've taken longer.
And Elle had convulsions.
Wait, what does that mean? Maybe it was actual poison.
Maybe somebody put it in a dish, and it got passed around.
What kind of poison? How would I know? Everyone could have died.
We all could have died.
Yeah, but no one did.
They're getting better.
[MADISON.]
I'm so excited for you, Becca.
You're going to be a really good mom.
Oh, God.
I don't know about that, but thank you.
She, um, is really excited for me.
She thinks I'm going to be a really good mom.
So, Sam, you're you're the dad? Yeah.
Huh.
Okay.
Congratulations.
- Bye.
- [BECCA.]
Bye.
What? You know he's gay.
Sexuality is fluid, Gwen.
Hey, thank you so much.
Oh, yes.
- You rocked it.
- Thanks.
Thanks, guys.
- Do you want me to get you something? - No.
Kelly getting in that IV was pretty badass.
Get you some water? I'm supposed to make you drink water.
No, I just want to go to sleep.
Why would someone poison a dish with no idea who's going to eat it? You think it's just a coincidence that I'm one of the people who got poisoned? Did anyone offer you food without you asking for it? No.
I don't think so.
So, it was a random attack? Like, basically terrorism? What would be the point? What's point of any terrorism? Make us feel unsafe, force us to change how we live.
Are you gonna eat food someone else cooked anymore? Fuck.
Okay.
We need to control the food supply better.
So they'll poison the water.
Start a fire.
How do we stop that? Who's so angry that they would try to kill people? Harry was pissed he had to work.
No, Harry can't get out of bed.
He's not up to poisoning.
Well, the question is, who had opportunity? Who handled the food? Everyone in the cafeteria.
But I just don't think it happened there.
I would've seen it.
Some people cooked at home.
[WILL.]
That's like 15 different people.
Uh, Mickey, at Harry's house, made lemon bars.
Elle and Campbell checked out food then came late.
Is it Campbell's style, though? To sneak around? He likes getting credit for assholery.
Lexie checked out rations for pumpkin pie.
- Lexie cooked at home.
- Yeah.
Now do you want to talk to her? [SIGHS DEEPLY.]
Okay, I want the Guard to go to the houses of everybody on that list.
But I want them to bring Lexie in.
Show her that we're serious.
I was really careful.
Everything was refrigerated, I swear.
Well, did Harry help you make the lemon bars? Harry? He never leaves his room.
I can give you the recipe if you want.
They're best if you take them out a little early so they're, like, medium rare, you know? People liked 'em.
Okay, who liked them? I don't know, lots of people.
Helena? She told me she liked 'em.
Jason had, like, two.
But he didn't say anything nice about them.
But he wouldn't, but that's okay.
This is lemon.
We're not that desperate.
There's still lemon juice in the food stores.
You checked out food to cook at home? What did you bring? Just a pumpkin pie.
You make it yourself? Mm-hmm.
- Campbell didn't help you? - No.
Why are you doing this? Why the interrogation? 'Cause people got sick.
Okay, so they got food poisoning.
Is that a crime? [LUKE.]
It's not just normal food poisoning.
All right? We think somebody put poison in a dish.
- Oh, fuck.
- What did you put in the pie, Elle? Condensed milk, pumpkin, spices, eggs.
And just a frozen crust.
- Can we take a look around? - Uh-huh.
Elle got sick.
You think she poisoned herself? We're just investigating.
No one's blaming her.
Oh, really? I tasted the filling.
It was great.
I think you guys should talk to someone else.
I have to go back to bed.
What time is it? You guys left me in the dark forever.
That's 'cause you wouldn't tell us anything.
[LEXIE.]
Where's Allie? I want someone else here.
You guys are creeping me out.
Allie's not coming, all right? We're all you've got.
I don't I don't know what you want me to say.
My pie wasn't very good.
It was soggy, but it wasn't poisoned.
But you do have a grudge against Allie.
No, I told you.
That was an improv.
I was just I was trying to follow the rules and tell a story, and that's it.
Should've taken my idea for a play about Thanksgiving dinner.
Everyone would have died of poison.
Look, even if I did have some message against Allie, which I didn't, I am allowed to make a political statement.
Dissent isn't it a crime.
Did you guys never pay attention in AP Gov? You think I was in AP Gov? So you're telling me it was just a coincidence that right after you little political statement, Allie was poisoned? Yeah.
Coincidences happen.
I don't think they do.
Guys, I have to go to the bathroom.
Uh-uh.
First you have to tell us something we don't know.
[CHUCKLES.]
Okay, fine, how's this? I just got my period, and I'm bleeding through my dress.
Girls always use their periods as excuses.
No, please get Allie.
Okay? She'll let me change and then I will talk to her.
Nope.
No, you can't do this to me! I have rights! Like, I want a fucking lawyer! No, no! Do not leave me alone with Clark! Don't do anything stupid.
Please, Clark.
You are better than this.
What do you want from me? The truth.
Like Jason said.
But, Clark, I already gave you that.
I gave you that.
And I'm I'm afraid of him.
What? Nah.
Come on.
Jason's all right.
Please just let me go.
Can't.
Here.
You want to change? Change.
I found it under the sink in the bathroom.
You're gonna leave the room.
Nope.
You said you had to change so change.
You're fucking kidding me.
[JASON.]
Do it.
Turn around.
Nope.
Okay.
[JASON.]
Okay.
Now let's talk about Thanksgiving.
[SNIFFLES.]
I made a pie, okay? That's all.
So when were you going to tell me that you were having a baby? I know I should've told you.
We were talking for hours.
I know.
But finding you I didn't want to mess it up.
I was so excited.
So excited, you forgot you were a dad? Yes, I know it sounds crazy.
Look.
I was lonely.
Becca's my best friend.
I used to fall asleep at her house.
And one time I don't know, it just happened.
You've slept with girls! Yeah, but I'm not having a baby.
It wasn't on purpose.
But then we got stuck in this place, and I'm making the best out of it.
Does she know that's all it is? Because she seems to think you guys are together like a happy couple.
- You're talking too fast - I'm talking too fast? How about this? Does she know who you are? Yes.
But I can't upset her now.
She went into labor, okay? So what are we gonna do, Sam? You gonna be like one of those secret married gay dudes, from the dinosaur age? We're gonna sneak around? No.
I don't know.
We might be in a new fucking universe, and we also might starve in here.
How do you want to live, Sam? - I promised.
- What about us? I don't know, okay? You did an incredible job last night.
Did you always want to be a doctor? I don't know.
Not really.
I haven't really thought about it.
Well, you were great.
I wish I could have been that useful.
Come on, you stayed with Allie the whole time.
Every minute.
I thought she was gonna die.
If she died, I don't know I don't know what I would have done.
Yeah.
Because you love her.
I don't even know what I'm feeling.
How do you know? Because I saw you.
I saw the two of you together all night.
It's obvious.
I don't - I can't - It's okay, Will.
Things are the way they are.
Even if we didn't understand it before.
[BECCA.]
It's so creepy here with everyone gone.
[SAM.]
Yeah.
I need some distraction.
I wish I could just scroll mindlessly through Snapchat or celebrities' Instagrams.
What celebrities? Beyoncé.
Didn't you know? She's on a yacht.
In the Caribbean, with her kids and Solange.
- She is? - Yeah.
Also with the cast of Queer Eye.
[CHUCKLES.]
And a A giraffe.
The giraffe is pregnant.
Of course.
And is going to have a baby giraffe on the yacht.
They're going to livestream it.
Another contraction? Could you go and find me a little back pillow? Okay.
I'll go find one.
Hey.
You're gonna stay with me, right? Of course.
- I'll be right back.
- Okay.
[GROANS.]
That's too bright.
Sorry, but you need it.
[SIGHS.]
Says who? You skipped Thanksgiving.
I'm not thankful.
Seven people got poisoned.
Yeah, Mickey told me.
You think he'd miss that chance? I brought you a turkey sandwich.
I'm not hungry.
That's because you stay in bed all day.
Get up.
- I'm worried about you.
- Leave me alone.
I can't do that.
Come on.
Get dressed.
It feels good to get out, right? No.
No, it feels like shit.
It'll feel good after having done it.
That's how exercise works.
- Nah.
- Oh, my God.
You wanna bet? Why? What would I win? There's nothing in this place that I want.
That can't be true.
I I can think of one thing.
Oh, God.
Harry.
Do you feel up to this? I think so.
People will be happy to see you.
To see you're better.
[LEXIE.]
Allie.
I need to talk to you.
Alone.
It's okay.
Yeah.
Do you know what they did? Jason and Clark.
In that fucking wine cellar? Um, they asked you a questions? No, I got my period, and they made me change in front of them.
I'm so sorry that happened to you.
Okay, what are you gonna do about it? Nothing.
But they humiliated me.
It was basically torture, Allie.
They didn't torture you.
You got your period.
There's no shame in that.
People almost died.
Get over it.
Let's go.
You scared me.
Why are you staring at me? Will you tell me what you used? Used for what? You know for what.
In the pie.
I don't know what you mean.
You tried to kill me.
No.
- Elle.
- No.
Come on, you You want to leave me? You want to get away? I get it.
You're afraid of me.
Everyone's always afraid of me.
My parents.
Even Sam.
I was never afraid of anything.
Anything.
And now I'm afraid of you.
But I'm okay with it.
It's good.
'Cause we're the same.
- No, we're not.
- We are.
We're not.
We're nothing alike.
You were willing to kill everyone who ate that pie last night just so you didn't have to confess.
[LAUGHS.]
I had no idea - you had that in you.
- I tried.
I fucking tried.
I tried to get to that pie.
I'm nothing like you.
- It's okay.
- No, I'm nothing like you.
- I'm nothing like you.
I'm not.
- It's okay.
You don't have to deny it to me.
Don't you get it? It means that we're not alone.
No one else understands.
[SIGHS.]
We're alike.
My little poisoner.
- How do we know it was poison? - [ALLIE.]
We don't.
We just You know, we've ruled out any other possibilities, and we're not trying to take any chances.
Yeah, no shit.
But what the fuck are we gonna do about it now? From now on, no food cooked at home is allowed in any of the common areas.
The safest place to eat is the cafeteria.
We're just trying to keep people from getting hurt without changing the way we live too much.
There's one more thing.
It's been five months since my sister died.
I know I've added so many rules.
And I know I'm adding more right now and I've asked you to do so much.
I just think that the person asking you to do all these things, asking you to grow our own food soon, should be given authority by you.
[GIRL.]
Right.
[ALLIE.]
A democracy means having elections.
So I think that we should have a vote.
I think that we should elect a mayor and four council members, that way it's an odd number in case of any ties, and I'm running for mayor.
Anyone else who wants to run, just sign up.
There'll be an election in three weeks.
[SIGHS.]
Do you think my rule about the food makes sense? Or am I just doing something to do something? [WILL.]
You had to have a response.
Besides, potlucks suck.
What are you doing? Just sleeping.
Can I sleep here? I guess.
Everyone seems okay, I think.
Yeah, they're weirdly calm, though, right? About the whole other universe thing.
- [ALLIE.]
Yeah.
- I think we're missing our families.
- That takes up a lot of attention.
- Yeah.
Or they're just in food comas.
Or that.
Hey.
- Hey.
- Is Sam coming? Did you text him? Three times.
You're not worried? He's been up so late taking care of me.
He probably just fell asleep.
So we can celebrate later.
Hey, everyone.
Hi.
Um So, at Thanksgiving, my mom used to ask us to say what we're thankful for.
[EVERYONE GROANS.]
[HELENA.]
Oh, come on.
Nobody? Do I have to go first? All right.
Um I'm thankful for how hard my team fought at touch football.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
Yeah.
Oh, and I'm thankful that Luke hasn't lost his throwing arm.
Let's give it up for Luke! Uh, I'm thankful I can get stoned every day without my parents on my ass.
[ALL LAUGH AND CHEER.]
Truth! Though, I miss them giving me a hard time.
Well, I'm thankful for Clark.
For saying what we've all been thinking.
You know, we all miss home.
We miss our moms, dads.
What we want to say is, "Wait for us.
You know We'll find our way back.
" I also want to say thank you to everybody who cooked tonight.
Toast, a toast! To all the cooks! - [BOY.]
Whoo! - [GIRL.]
Yeah.
[CAMPBELL.]
Hey.
Toast to the cooks, right? Um, I have something I'm really thankful for.
[SIGHS.]
I'm gonna marry Luke.
Who does still have his throwing arm, and he's also the love of my life.
You're all invited.
Um, it's going to be the first wedding in the new world, so hit me up if you know how to make a wedding cake.
Dessert to celebrate! [CAMPBELL.]
What you doing? What? I thought you hated pumpkin pie.
I just needed to make sure that it tasted all right.
- Okay.
- Our table didn't get pumpkin.
- [BEAN.]
Okay, we're ready.
- [COUGHS.]
It's the improv class! [BEAN.]
Okay, everybody.
Thank you.
Thanks, you guys.
- We are exited to - They're probably gonna suck.
[SHUSHES.]
They've been practicing.
Yeah, practicing sucking.
We are going to put on a play for you right now that's never been done before.
Can I have a situation from the audience, please? Uh, Thanksgiving dinner! So imaginative, Clark.
- [BOY 1.]
Rap battle.
- [BOY 2.]
Rainy day.
- [BOY 3.]
Football game! - Field trip! Field trip! We can do that.
All aboard for the national park! You're either on the bus, or you're off the bus! [IMITATES DOOR CLOSING.]
Are we there yet? I have to pee! [SQUEALS.]
[BOY.]
Final destination! These woods go on forever.
Are we lost? Who decided we should go on a stupid field trip, anyway? Olivia did.
[SOFTLY.]
Hey! [BEAN.]
What if there are wolves and bears in the woods? [CACKLES MENACINGLY.]
Oh, no! It's an evil witch! And I cast a spell on all of you! [AUDIENCE LAUGHS.]
[SAM.]
So did you ever notice me before? Yeah, of course.
That's why I stayed away.
Why? 'Cause I was caught up in being straight.
You were very convincing.
Not to my mom.
She noticed early.
I really loved tap dancing, so she signed me up for peewee football.
She thought she was making your life easier.
Yeah.
Somewhere there's a picture of me in that tap class with a feather boa.
I need to see that picture.
[LAUGHS.]
I was always really good at football, so it was easy just to be like my friends.
But now, I sort of feel like I'm 12 years old again.
I'm starting over.
Is that Is that weird? - Uh-uh.
- No? Like, I should send a girl with a note that says "Dear Sam, do you like Grizz? Yes or no?" You have to ask? [LEXIE.]
Eye of newt and toe of dog, I turn you into a frog! [IMITATES FROG.]
Somebody kiss me! And I turn you into an ancient crone! [IMITATES AN OLD WOMAN.]
Oh, I knew I should've done Botox! Will no one stop this witch? I'll stop the witch! Who died and left you in charge? My sister! [BLAKE.]
Your sister? Yes, my sister.
I make the rules now! And you'll eat what I tell you to eat, and you'll sleep where I tell you to sleep.
And you'll work for me! [JESSICA.]
[IMITATES OLD WOMAN.]
Oh, no! Nothing but drudgery 'til we all die of old age! [GASPS, CHOKES.]
[GASPS.]
[LEXIE.]
Wait a minute.
It wasn't old age.
There's a bullet in her heart! I'm Sherlock Frog, detective.
Because my quads are killing me.
And I believe there's a murderer in these woods! Yes.
And the murderer was you! Arrest him! [BOY.]
Me? But I'm a totally innocent detective! [LEXIE CRIES.]
Oh, the crone! She was my sister! I will be avenged! The killer must die! You! Kill the frog detective.
I can't.
Oh, my God.
If you want anything done around here, you have to do it yourself.
[IMITATES GUNSHOT.]
Okay, great show, guys.
No! You can't stop me! I'm in charge here! I am the witch! [WILL.]
Yeah, we get it.
You dare to defy my power? I'm not in this improv, Lexie.
Oh, but you are.
You are a henchman.
Arrest the henchman! That's enough, I think.
And scene! [LEXIE.]
Off with their heads! I told you, people are not fine! They might be quiet, but that's not the same thing.
They're scared.
And they're angry at me.
- [WILL.]
It was just an improv - About me.
I don't know.
I mean, they got carried away.
Allie, I am so sorry.
- Was that planned? - What? No, we didn't know what the audience was gonna say.
I swear we didn't mean anything by it.
Lexie meant something.
What do you want to do? Do you want to bring Lexie in? Talk to her? And say what? What, that she's not allowed to say anything that makes me mad? [SIGHS.]
I feel terrible.
I'm so sorry, Allie.
No.
Uh It's my stomach.
[CHUCKLES.]
I think I ate too much.
I'm gonna go to bed.
Aren't you glad that we went? That was a good thing to do, right? Mm-hmm.
I mean, the improv was a shit show.
[CHUCKLES.]
Mm-hmm.
Was your pie good? No.
Gonna try that again? Try what? Making another pie.
I don't think so.
You okay? What's You don't look so good.
[BREATHES DEEPLY.]
- Hey.
- Hey.
I wasn't sure you could get away.
Is Allie freaked out? Yeah.
That was She's sleeping now.
I think she'll be better in the morning.
[CHUCKLES.]
How did you know how to do that? From living in a house full of fake stuff.
It was a weird Thanksgiving, huh? I don't know.
Don't most people feel weird after Thanksgiving? It used to be my favorite holiday.
The whole family together and lots of games.
Like tackle touch football? Come on, I had to take you out.
[LAUGHS.]
Yeah.
Did I hurt you? No.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
No.
I might need a rematch.
Then watch out.
Fair warning.
What do we do until then? Can I? [GIGGLES.]
Yes.
Yeah? These buttons are so tiny.
[EXHALES.]
You are so Sorry! - [BOTH LAUGH.]
- I'm so sorry! It's okay.
I'm getting used to it.
[GROANS.]
Will? [RETCHES.]
Will! Allie, are you okay? Where's Will? Um, I'll find him.
Just wait here.
I'm not going anywhere.
The first time I saw you, you were outside of school.
Your first day.
Wait.
Was that before or after Harry talked shit about my shoes? I'd forgotten about that.
Before.
[WILL SIGHS DEEPLY.]
I didn't see you then.
You didn't say anything.
Sorry.
I guess I was I was kind of a jerk.
It's okay.
I did notice you.
- Yeah? - Yeah, later.
And? [CELLPHONE DINGS.]
Shit.
It's Bean.
Something's wrong with Allie.
I mean, if we get married in this world and then go back to that one, would we still be married? Yeah.
Yeah, I think parallel universes recognize marriages.
You know, it'll be like like moving to a different state.
You know? Something's happening to me.
[HELENA.]
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I just saw her whole Thanksgiving dinner backward, pumpkin pie first.
I want my mom.
[GROANS.]
Hey.
It's Kelly.
Erika's sick, too.
Marnie's puking.
I'm gonna be sick again.
Tell Kelly to get people to the clinic.
Okay.
[COUGHS.]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
[CAMPBELL.]
What you doing in there? [SOFTLY.]
I'm throwing up.
- [CAMPBELL.]
Hmm? - Go away.
[CAMPBELL.]
I just got a text.
People are sick.
Are you? Yes.
Just go away.
[CAMPBELL.]
Elle.
[BREATHES HEAVILY.]
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean [CAMPBELL.]
I can't hear you.
[GASPS FOR BREATH.]
Just go away! [CAMPBELL.]
All right.
I'm coming in, all right? Oh, shit.
Fuck.
[KELLY.]
Bean, I need the Pedialyte! - No, no.
- She has to stay hydrated.
Give her small sips.
Oh, God.
How is she doing? She just keeps throwing up.
Oh, fuck.
This is bad, honey.
- Babe, you should go home.
It's fine.
- I'm sorry.
- She won't keep that down! - I don't know what else to do.
Can you put in an IV? You fucking kidding? Of course I can't! We are so not prepared for this! I got food poisoning at my cousin's wedding and I took this pill to stop the dry heaving.
Can you find that? Under what? Your cousin's wedding in the index? You wanna look? Don't know what's wrong with me.
I can barely walk.
There's a bed down over there.
I'll be over in a minute.
Oh, shit.
How many are there? Look, could you do an IV? No, no, absolutely not.
Read how, okay? You can help me.
I'm gonna go get the supplies.
Help! She's had a fit or something.
- Is she breathing? - Yeah, I think so.
- [KELLY.]
Shit.
- [CAMPBELL.]
Right? [KELLY.]
She had a seizure maybe.
Help me get her to a bed.
- [HELENA.]
You have to try the IV! - [KELLY.]
Gordie! I'll do it! Get me the instructions! [GORDIE.]
Okay, tie the tourniquet.
Swab with alcohol in little circles.
[GORDIE.]
Here, the air's out.
I don't know where the vein is.
Tap it.
That's what they do.
Just fucking do it, Kelly! It won't hurt her.
She's out.
Come on.
- I think I missed.
- Try it again.
- [KELLY.]
Shit! - [GORDIE.]
Ah, that's good.
Oh, my God.
Jesus.
[KELLY.]
And then what? I think that's it.
All right.
Okay.
[BREATHLESSLY.]
Where were you? I couldn't I'm sorry.
I didn't know you were sick.
I want to die.
No, no, no.
Don't say that.
It's okay.
Then I won't feel like this.
Okay.
- Shh.
You're gonna get better.
- No, it's okay, Will.
Can you just tell my parents [SIGHS.]
Tell my parents I'm sorry.
[WILL.]
Kelly? Hey, Kelly! - Help her, please! - Hang on! I need another IV kit.
[HELENA.]
Hey, I'm here.
Are you praying for me? No.
I mean, yes, of course, but you're gonna be okay.
Can you Can you tell God that I'm sorry? Shh.
No, no, no.
You're gonna be okay.
Look, Kelly put in an IV.
Look.
What? What? No, no, no.
I don't want it.
No, no, no! Elle, you have to stop.
No, no, no! Can you take it out? - Take it out, please! - [HELENA.]
Elle, we can't take it out.
Shit.
[HELENA SHUSHES.]
Have you been throwing up? No, it's my stomach and my back.
I think it's the baby.
Oh, my God.
Can you not have this baby right now? Where's Sam? I don't know.
I don't know.
I just really feel awful.
Okay, we need to get you to the bed away from these sick people.
Gordie, leave that with Will.
Look up "preterm labor" and find Sam.
[CELLPHONE VIBRATES.]
It's yours.
Mine's off.
Shit, you have, like, 30 messages.
I think you really have to go.
Yeah.
[ALLIE.]
Oh.
Can I get you something to eat? No.
Not yet.
More delicious Pedialyte? I'm never having that stuff again.
They make ice pops, too.
How do you even know that? Reading the product info.
I've had some time on my hands.
I really thought I was gonna die.
Yeah? But you thought you were gonna die when you sprained your ankle playing dodgeball.
You were always a terrible patient.
Like you're any better.
I am.
I'm stoic and tough.
You're tough, but you're not stoic.
Last time you had a cold, you bitched so much you gave it to me.
- Your complaining gave it to me.
- That's not true.
It is.
The germs, they just wafted out of you every time you complained.
It was a really bad cold.
Oh, yeah.
- It was! - Pfft! [WILL.]
Don't pfft me.
I'm serious! That was a terrible cold.
You have no sympathy.
Stop.
[GROANS.]
I may need to get up soon and go to the bathroom.
Okay.
Is that dangerous? [DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES.]
I don't think so.
I mean, I feel better, so Hey, Grizz.
Hi.
Welcome to the sickbay.
[GRIZZ.]
Yeah, I came to see how everyone was.
You're pregnant.
[BECCA.]
Yeah.
But, um, Kelly thinks I'll be okay if I just stay in bed.
I'm following his example.
I mean, he was so tired.
He slept straight through Thanksgiving.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
But we were just talking about names.
Do you Do you want to help? Yeah, sure.
What's your real name, Grizz? Uh, Gareth.
Gareth? I really like that.
Yeah.
Do you? Okay, well, we have to choose something.
So Wait Sam, this is It's your baby? Yeah.
Okay.
We were surprised, too.
Wow.
Um - Congratulations.
- [BECCA.]
Thanks.
I'm really happy for you guys.
[BECCA.]
Sam.
What can I do? Nothing.
It could be a virus.
[KELLY.]
No one had a fever.
And everyone at once? So it was food poisoning.
No, I don't think so because people are getting better too fast.
Food poisoning would've taken longer.
And Elle had convulsions.
Wait, what does that mean? Maybe it was actual poison.
Maybe somebody put it in a dish, and it got passed around.
What kind of poison? How would I know? Everyone could have died.
We all could have died.
Yeah, but no one did.
They're getting better.
[MADISON.]
I'm so excited for you, Becca.
You're going to be a really good mom.
Oh, God.
I don't know about that, but thank you.
She, um, is really excited for me.
She thinks I'm going to be a really good mom.
So, Sam, you're you're the dad? Yeah.
Huh.
Okay.
Congratulations.
- Bye.
- [BECCA.]
Bye.
What? You know he's gay.
Sexuality is fluid, Gwen.
Hey, thank you so much.
Oh, yes.
- You rocked it.
- Thanks.
Thanks, guys.
- Do you want me to get you something? - No.
Kelly getting in that IV was pretty badass.
Get you some water? I'm supposed to make you drink water.
No, I just want to go to sleep.
Why would someone poison a dish with no idea who's going to eat it? You think it's just a coincidence that I'm one of the people who got poisoned? Did anyone offer you food without you asking for it? No.
I don't think so.
So, it was a random attack? Like, basically terrorism? What would be the point? What's point of any terrorism? Make us feel unsafe, force us to change how we live.
Are you gonna eat food someone else cooked anymore? Fuck.
Okay.
We need to control the food supply better.
So they'll poison the water.
Start a fire.
How do we stop that? Who's so angry that they would try to kill people? Harry was pissed he had to work.
No, Harry can't get out of bed.
He's not up to poisoning.
Well, the question is, who had opportunity? Who handled the food? Everyone in the cafeteria.
But I just don't think it happened there.
I would've seen it.
Some people cooked at home.
[WILL.]
That's like 15 different people.
Uh, Mickey, at Harry's house, made lemon bars.
Elle and Campbell checked out food then came late.
Is it Campbell's style, though? To sneak around? He likes getting credit for assholery.
Lexie checked out rations for pumpkin pie.
- Lexie cooked at home.
- Yeah.
Now do you want to talk to her? [SIGHS DEEPLY.]
Okay, I want the Guard to go to the houses of everybody on that list.
But I want them to bring Lexie in.
Show her that we're serious.
I was really careful.
Everything was refrigerated, I swear.
Well, did Harry help you make the lemon bars? Harry? He never leaves his room.
I can give you the recipe if you want.
They're best if you take them out a little early so they're, like, medium rare, you know? People liked 'em.
Okay, who liked them? I don't know, lots of people.
Helena? She told me she liked 'em.
Jason had, like, two.
But he didn't say anything nice about them.
But he wouldn't, but that's okay.
This is lemon.
We're not that desperate.
There's still lemon juice in the food stores.
You checked out food to cook at home? What did you bring? Just a pumpkin pie.
You make it yourself? Mm-hmm.
- Campbell didn't help you? - No.
Why are you doing this? Why the interrogation? 'Cause people got sick.
Okay, so they got food poisoning.
Is that a crime? [LUKE.]
It's not just normal food poisoning.
All right? We think somebody put poison in a dish.
- Oh, fuck.
- What did you put in the pie, Elle? Condensed milk, pumpkin, spices, eggs.
And just a frozen crust.
- Can we take a look around? - Uh-huh.
Elle got sick.
You think she poisoned herself? We're just investigating.
No one's blaming her.
Oh, really? I tasted the filling.
It was great.
I think you guys should talk to someone else.
I have to go back to bed.
What time is it? You guys left me in the dark forever.
That's 'cause you wouldn't tell us anything.
[LEXIE.]
Where's Allie? I want someone else here.
You guys are creeping me out.
Allie's not coming, all right? We're all you've got.
I don't I don't know what you want me to say.
My pie wasn't very good.
It was soggy, but it wasn't poisoned.
But you do have a grudge against Allie.
No, I told you.
That was an improv.
I was just I was trying to follow the rules and tell a story, and that's it.
Should've taken my idea for a play about Thanksgiving dinner.
Everyone would have died of poison.
Look, even if I did have some message against Allie, which I didn't, I am allowed to make a political statement.
Dissent isn't it a crime.
Did you guys never pay attention in AP Gov? You think I was in AP Gov? So you're telling me it was just a coincidence that right after you little political statement, Allie was poisoned? Yeah.
Coincidences happen.
I don't think they do.
Guys, I have to go to the bathroom.
Uh-uh.
First you have to tell us something we don't know.
[CHUCKLES.]
Okay, fine, how's this? I just got my period, and I'm bleeding through my dress.
Girls always use their periods as excuses.
No, please get Allie.
Okay? She'll let me change and then I will talk to her.
Nope.
No, you can't do this to me! I have rights! Like, I want a fucking lawyer! No, no! Do not leave me alone with Clark! Don't do anything stupid.
Please, Clark.
You are better than this.
What do you want from me? The truth.
Like Jason said.
But, Clark, I already gave you that.
I gave you that.
And I'm I'm afraid of him.
What? Nah.
Come on.
Jason's all right.
Please just let me go.
Can't.
Here.
You want to change? Change.
I found it under the sink in the bathroom.
You're gonna leave the room.
Nope.
You said you had to change so change.
You're fucking kidding me.
[JASON.]
Do it.
Turn around.
Nope.
Okay.
[JASON.]
Okay.
Now let's talk about Thanksgiving.
[SNIFFLES.]
I made a pie, okay? That's all.
So when were you going to tell me that you were having a baby? I know I should've told you.
We were talking for hours.
I know.
But finding you I didn't want to mess it up.
I was so excited.
So excited, you forgot you were a dad? Yes, I know it sounds crazy.
Look.
I was lonely.
Becca's my best friend.
I used to fall asleep at her house.
And one time I don't know, it just happened.
You've slept with girls! Yeah, but I'm not having a baby.
It wasn't on purpose.
But then we got stuck in this place, and I'm making the best out of it.
Does she know that's all it is? Because she seems to think you guys are together like a happy couple.
- You're talking too fast - I'm talking too fast? How about this? Does she know who you are? Yes.
But I can't upset her now.
She went into labor, okay? So what are we gonna do, Sam? You gonna be like one of those secret married gay dudes, from the dinosaur age? We're gonna sneak around? No.
I don't know.
We might be in a new fucking universe, and we also might starve in here.
How do you want to live, Sam? - I promised.
- What about us? I don't know, okay? You did an incredible job last night.
Did you always want to be a doctor? I don't know.
Not really.
I haven't really thought about it.
Well, you were great.
I wish I could have been that useful.
Come on, you stayed with Allie the whole time.
Every minute.
I thought she was gonna die.
If she died, I don't know I don't know what I would have done.
Yeah.
Because you love her.
I don't even know what I'm feeling.
How do you know? Because I saw you.
I saw the two of you together all night.
It's obvious.
I don't - I can't - It's okay, Will.
Things are the way they are.
Even if we didn't understand it before.
[BECCA.]
It's so creepy here with everyone gone.
[SAM.]
Yeah.
I need some distraction.
I wish I could just scroll mindlessly through Snapchat or celebrities' Instagrams.
What celebrities? Beyoncé.
Didn't you know? She's on a yacht.
In the Caribbean, with her kids and Solange.
- She is? - Yeah.
Also with the cast of Queer Eye.
[CHUCKLES.]
And a A giraffe.
The giraffe is pregnant.
Of course.
And is going to have a baby giraffe on the yacht.
They're going to livestream it.
Another contraction? Could you go and find me a little back pillow? Okay.
I'll go find one.
Hey.
You're gonna stay with me, right? Of course.
- I'll be right back.
- Okay.
[GROANS.]
That's too bright.
Sorry, but you need it.
[SIGHS.]
Says who? You skipped Thanksgiving.
I'm not thankful.
Seven people got poisoned.
Yeah, Mickey told me.
You think he'd miss that chance? I brought you a turkey sandwich.
I'm not hungry.
That's because you stay in bed all day.
Get up.
- I'm worried about you.
- Leave me alone.
I can't do that.
Come on.
Get dressed.
It feels good to get out, right? No.
No, it feels like shit.
It'll feel good after having done it.
That's how exercise works.
- Nah.
- Oh, my God.
You wanna bet? Why? What would I win? There's nothing in this place that I want.
That can't be true.
I I can think of one thing.
Oh, God.
Harry.
Do you feel up to this? I think so.
People will be happy to see you.
To see you're better.
[LEXIE.]
Allie.
I need to talk to you.
Alone.
It's okay.
Yeah.
Do you know what they did? Jason and Clark.
In that fucking wine cellar? Um, they asked you a questions? No, I got my period, and they made me change in front of them.
I'm so sorry that happened to you.
Okay, what are you gonna do about it? Nothing.
But they humiliated me.
It was basically torture, Allie.
They didn't torture you.
You got your period.
There's no shame in that.
People almost died.
Get over it.
Let's go.
You scared me.
Why are you staring at me? Will you tell me what you used? Used for what? You know for what.
In the pie.
I don't know what you mean.
You tried to kill me.
No.
- Elle.
- No.
Come on, you You want to leave me? You want to get away? I get it.
You're afraid of me.
Everyone's always afraid of me.
My parents.
Even Sam.
I was never afraid of anything.
Anything.
And now I'm afraid of you.
But I'm okay with it.
It's good.
'Cause we're the same.
- No, we're not.
- We are.
We're not.
We're nothing alike.
You were willing to kill everyone who ate that pie last night just so you didn't have to confess.
[LAUGHS.]
I had no idea - you had that in you.
- I tried.
I fucking tried.
I tried to get to that pie.
I'm nothing like you.
- It's okay.
- No, I'm nothing like you.
- I'm nothing like you.
I'm not.
- It's okay.
You don't have to deny it to me.
Don't you get it? It means that we're not alone.
No one else understands.
[SIGHS.]
We're alike.
My little poisoner.
- How do we know it was poison? - [ALLIE.]
We don't.
We just You know, we've ruled out any other possibilities, and we're not trying to take any chances.
Yeah, no shit.
But what the fuck are we gonna do about it now? From now on, no food cooked at home is allowed in any of the common areas.
The safest place to eat is the cafeteria.
We're just trying to keep people from getting hurt without changing the way we live too much.
There's one more thing.
It's been five months since my sister died.
I know I've added so many rules.
And I know I'm adding more right now and I've asked you to do so much.
I just think that the person asking you to do all these things, asking you to grow our own food soon, should be given authority by you.
[GIRL.]
Right.
[ALLIE.]
A democracy means having elections.
So I think that we should have a vote.
I think that we should elect a mayor and four council members, that way it's an odd number in case of any ties, and I'm running for mayor.
Anyone else who wants to run, just sign up.
There'll be an election in three weeks.
[SIGHS.]
Do you think my rule about the food makes sense? Or am I just doing something to do something? [WILL.]
You had to have a response.
Besides, potlucks suck.
What are you doing? Just sleeping.
Can I sleep here? I guess.
