1 Previously on Yellowjackets - She's alive! - [LAURA LEE.]
Van needs serious medical attention.
She's not the only one.
I-I'm pregnant.
I am going to take the dead guy's plane and fly south.
I'm still the only adult here.
I'm not gonna let you do it.
What are you gonna do to stop me, Coach? This is my purpose.
Oh, my gosh.
We're flying! Are you seriously gonna ruin this over something so fucking stupid? [MISTY.]
No, no, no, no, no.
- Natalie.
- Misty! - You're so full of shit! - Next time, I will just let you zonk your brains out.
You can't be here! I'm afraid I'm going to hurt you.
I want you to tell me the truth.
Travis's bank account was closed right after he died.
Whoever has that money probably killed Travis.
[NATALIE.]
You've been blackmailing us.
[SHAUNA.]
What are you doing? [ADAM.]
We could be something.
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
Count to ten and then get out, okay? [TENSE MUSIC.]
[BEEPING.]
[KNOCKING.]
Who the fuck are you? You have two seconds to tell me the truth.
I know about the blackmail, okay, Adam? Or whatever your fucking name is.
The blackmail? What are you Oh, you want to role-play.
Okay, yeah.
Well, that's right.
- You're gonna pay, you bad girl.
- This isn't a game.
Just give me my fucking journals.
- Your journals? What are you talking about? - Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I can't believe I fell for it.
- And that I fell for you.
- What are you doing? Hey, stop.
- I let you into my life.
- Shauna, stop.
I let you into my house.
And the moment you had the chance [ADAM.]
What are you looking for? you broke into my safe.
And you just took what you wanted all along.
I broke into your safe? How could I do that? The code is the flight number.
It's so fucking dumb.
Any fanboy could figure that out.
You're acting crazy.
Who told you about them? Did someone put you up to this? Shauna, please, just slow down.
Would you just talk to me? I can't believe I was so stupid.
God, I was so Shauna, wait.
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
So, what are these? Okay, yes, I googled you, okay? And I saw that you were in that plane crash, and I was curious.
- Bullshit.
- No, it's not.
You obviously went through something really messed-up, and I wanted to understand.
Shauna, please Whoa.
Hey, hey.
Shauna, I don't know anything about blackmail.
I didn't even know you existed before our accident.
And I swear, I would never do anything to hurt you.
- [MUTTERS.]
- Whoa.
Hey.
Look, nothing has happened yet.
- We can still fix this.
- [SCREAMING.]
[ECHOING.]
Just need you to put down the knife.
And we can talk this through.

[SIZZLING.]
[PAN CLANGING SOFTLY.]
Jax, you have to eat.
Why? What does it matter, at this point? Okay, I-I can't do this anymore.
- What is that? - It was some berries I was trying to save, but I think it might've turned into booze? I don't know about the rest of you, but I could use a drink.
Do we think it's safe? Do we care? I have a few more.
If we have booze, let's have a party.
[TAISSA.]
Yeah.
'Cause we've got so much to celebrate.
[JACKIE.]
Do we need a reason? We're gonna be dead in a few weeks.
There's a full moon tomorrow night.
And it's almost homecoming.
We packed dresses, right? - For the awards dinner? - [JACKIE.]
There we go.
We have dresses, we have booze.
We can decorate.
Have a sort of moon homecoming.
More like a doom homecoming.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
- A doomcoming.
- [NATALIE CHUCKLES.]
Now that's a party idea.
Yeah.
All right.
Doomcoming.
Tomorrow night, we'll drink rotten berries and celebrate our impending death.
[BEEPING.]
[LOW, OMINOUS MUSIC.]
[JEFF.]
Hey, um Yeah, am I supposed to wear a, uh tie to this reunion thing? Huh? I don't know.
The king's kind of feeling the power option here.
- Wait.
- Honey.
What is this? Huh? Do you have any idea where this glitter came from? Huh? Glitter? Uh [EXHALES.]
Okay.
I can explain this.
Oh, my God, Jeff.
What did you do? - Okay, just-just - What did you do? - Just listen to me.
- What did you do?! You were never supposed to get involved in this.
It just It got out of control.
- Listen, the store.
The store.
- Oh, my Goddamn FurnitureFam.
com.
They are running me out of business.
They got virtually no overhead.
They mass-produce all their own inventory.
What the hell am I supposed to do? So you-you blackmailed us? Not you.
I thought I had to [SIGHS.]
I thought Taissa, you know, maybe Natalie had the cash.
- [EXHALES.]
- So I mean, I was gonna lose the store, Shauna.
First, I took out a loan.
I just I-I got a loan from these guys, all right? And it turns out that they were they were bad.
They were bad guys.
They were really bad, scary guys.
- [INHALES DEEPLY.]
- Like like loan sharks? Like fucking mobsters, Jeff? - Are they gonna kill us? - No.
No.
No! I paid 'em back.
It's all good.
No one is gonna die.
Okay? It's over.
I promise.
This is over.
We can just, you know, pretend [SIGHS.]
We can get past this.
We can forget it happened.
[SIGHS.]
No.
No, Jeff, we can't.
[SCOFFS.]
Why not? [EXHALES.]
[PERCUSSIVE, WHIMSICAL MUSIC.]
[TAISSA.]
Will you pass the knife? Oh.
Uh, what I know it's not a Sadie Hawkins, but will you go with me to the dance? [SIGHS.]
Oh, it's okay.
I get it.
I I've just never been asked to one before, and I just I thought that this could be my one chance.
I'm sorry.
It was dumb.
Uh I know I'm not pretty.
Misty, stop.
[SIGHS.]
I would be happy to go to the dance with you.
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
Really? Yes.
But I need us to be very clear.
Our boundaries are still our boundaries.
Anything else just wouldn't be right.
Okay? I understand.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
Thanks.
[EXHALES.]
[SIGHS SOFTLY.]
[SIGHS.]
You know, it's probably rush week at Rutgers right now.
You ever think about what we'd be doing if we hadn't crashed? Like, we'd be going to so many parties.
Yeah, I-I guess.
I don't really think about it.
Right.
Well, it's all I think about.
What if this is it, Shauna? Everything we did Uh, everything we didn't do.
All the mistakes that we made, it's, like, permanent.
[SCOFFS SOFTLY.]
What mistakes did you make? Everybody loved you.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
[CHOPPING SOUNDS.]
Well, I was naive.
I realize that now.
So I've decided I'm not gonna die a virgin.
What? - With who? - [CHOPPING CONTINUES.]
Jackie, no.
- What about Nat? - He and Nat broke up weeks ago.
They're hardly speaking.
- Yeah, but - What? Do do you like him? 'Cause, I mean, God knows I would never want us competing for the same guy.
Coming up on the end of the world, Shipman.
Time to pull out all the stops.
[LOW, SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
What do you mean, you killed someone? Like you murdered someone? I stabbed him, and now he's dead.
Yeah.
Oh, my God, Shauna.
Who? Who who? The guy I thought was blackmailing us.
[SHAUNA CHUCKLES RUEFULLY.]
What? How? Who was he? - Who was he? - Just a guy.
Uh, uh, Adam.
Um [SIGHS.]
It was the guy who I got into the car accident with.
Why would you think he was the one blackmailing you, Shauna? I don't know.
The more I got to know him, - I I just started - Wait, wait, y you kept You stayed in touch with the guy you rear-ended? That's weird.
Yeah.
We d I mean, I I ran into him at the at the Jolly Hitcher and we had a drink and Wait, what were you doing at the hotel? I was following you, Jeff.
[CHUCKLES.]
Can can we just stop? Can we not pretend that [SCOFFS.]
We both know that you were having an affair, too.
I saw you there with Bianca.
How did Bianca? No, Shauna, I was not having Bianca scares the shit out of me.
She's with the bad loan people! [SCOFFS.]
S You said I was having an affair, too.
So that means that Yeah.
Jesus Christ.
Oh, God.
I can't believe it.
I can't believe you thought I was going to book club this whole time.
What? There's no book club?! Can I ask you something? About boys? Uh sure.
Well, actually, it's about Coach Scott.
You see, we have this really deep connection, and he's been holding back.
I think he's just afraid because of society and its rules.
How do I get him to let go? Well, uh [CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
my mom always says that when a girl sets her mind to it, there's nothing she can't get from a man.
My mother always said the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
Well, my mom's also on, like, ten different kinds of downers, so I wouldn't necessarily take her advice.
You deserve to be with somebody who really wants to be with you.
Look.
You're beautiful.
[EXHALES.]
Thank you.
[CHUCKLING.]
[SIGHS.]
We're out of Xanax.
Um This is, uh, Larry's number at East Credit.
Okay? Now, he handles all the financials for the store, and he can help you sell off any inventory for any money you might need.
Or all of it, if that's what you want to do, okay? What? - Why? - Shauna.
You and I used to watch Dateline every week.
We know how this is gonna turn out.
We're-we're not gonna get away with this.
I'm gonna go to the cops, and I'm gonna tell 'em that I found out about my wife's lover and I went over to confront him and it just got out of hand.
You know? It got out of hand and I [SHUDDERS.]
And it was an accident.
You can't do that.
Listen, we got a lot of stuff to sort through.
But I'm not gonna let you go down for some stupid shit that I did! Oh, Jeff.
Listen.
You listen, okay? You wanting to take the fall for me is That's really sweet.
But if you go down there's a pretty great chance that the cops are gonna find out what else you've been up to.
Right? And if it gets out that the Yellowjackets are being blackmailed because of what we did out there our lives Callie's life would be over.
So we just have to, um, think.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
- There must be other options.
- [SNIFFS.]
- Yeah.
- There's [STAMMERS.]
Nobody else knows about the blackmail.
Right? No.
I mean Randy.
Randy Walsh? Are you serious? He's my best friend, Shauna.
I had to turn to somebody, for help.
Why would you not just tell me that the store was in trouble? Are you kidding? You got a whole safe full of secrets in there you never told me about.
[SIGHS.]
When did we become these people who lie and cheat and do awful things and just stay together because - 'Cause why? - Shauna, we've always been these people.
Secrets have always been a part of us.
Well, what do we do? [EXHALES.]
You thought that this dead guy was blackmailing you, right? So why can't the other girls believe that, too? ["THE WORLD I KNOW" BY COLLECTIVE SOUL.]
Has our conscience shown? Has the sweet breeze blown? Has all kindness gone? Hope still lingers on I drink myself of newfound pity Sittin' alone in New York City And I don't know why I'm not going to the stupid party.
I know you're self-conscious.
So I made us these.
Are we listening? Hymns of offering Have we eyes to see? Love is gathering All the words that I've been reading Have now started the act of bleeding Into one Into one So I walk up on high Hey, can someone help me zip my dress up? Misty, can you go help her? To see my world below Sure.
Yeah.
And I laughed at myself While the tears rolled down 'Cause it's the world I know Oh, it's the world I know Wait.
That's not how you do it.
Here.
Uh, someone seen the mushrooms in Uh, yeah.
You were holding out on us.
They're in the stew.
Yeah.
I, um I was saving them for a special occasion.
[JESSICA.]
Oh, a little free advice: maybe don't use the in-vehicle navigation for your trans-European drug run.
- [LAUGHS.]
- This guy was just asking to get caught.
Really? What a dummy.
- [CHUCKLES.]
- [ALARM BEEPING.]
- Time to feed Caligula? - [SIGHS.]
It sure is.
[SCOFFS.]
God, I had no idea that it was getting so late.
Your stories are [CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
fascinating.
Well, hey, it's just nice to be able to share them with someone who really appreciates 'em.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
I bet you have lots of very exciting stories yourself.
Oh, come on.
You survived a plane crash.
Then spent a year and a half in the wilderness with a bunch of fucking teenage girls.
[INHALES DEEPLY.]
[EXHALES.]
I honestly don't know what sounds scarier.
Aw.
It wasn't so bad.
I mean, we were all friends.
So Misty, they've been in touch with each other for the last 25 years.
Did they ever reach out to you? Ask you how you're doing? Hey, I wasn't there.
I don't know.
But if it were me I'd feel left out.
[LOW, TENSE MUSIC.]
[BEEP.]
[PHONE BUZZES.]
[MACHINE WHIRRING.]

[EXTINGUISHER CLANKS.]
[CAMPAIGN MANAGER.]
Yeah, three out of five of those people are voting for you, you know? This zip code is Team Turner.
What am I even doing here? Smiling for the cameras as you participate in the democratic process.
My wife moved out of our house.
She took our son with her.
I took a 15-year marriage and set it on fire, for what? Zoning reform? Campaigns are hell on even the best marriages.
Simone'll come around.
You don't know that.
You don't know anything about me.
["GEPETTO" BY BELLY.]
Let the doomcoming begin.
So, he's lying - On top again - [CLANGING.]
Just like Gepetto with his doll And he's running around again And I can't get him out of this house And if you bore him - Are they ? - Duh.

[BEN.]
In my official capacity as your coach, - I most certainly cannot condone underage drinking.
- [CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
But, uh, that said, cheers.
I really admire what you two did tonight.
Stop.
What's wrong? We should have a moment of silence for Laura Lee.
Yeah.
To Laura Lee.
- Hear, hear.
- [OTHERS.]
Laura Lee.
So, what now? Oh, now we just need a DJ to pump up the volume.
What we need is a slow dance.
[BEN CLEARS THROAT.]
Ba-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da Ba-da-da Ba-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da Ba-da-da There used to be a graying tower - [LAUGHTER, ALL SING ALONG.]
- alone on the sea You became the light On the dark side of me Love remained May I have this dance? Oh.
Uh [CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
You know what? I I think my dancing days might be behind me.
Go ahead.
Have fun.
It looks like Javi needs a partner.
Be seen Baby, I compare you to a kiss - Come on.
- From a rose on the gray Ooh, the more I get of you The stranger it feels, yeah And now that your rose is in bloom A light hits the gloom on the gray Ba-da-da, da-da-da-da-da You want to get out of here? I have real booze.
Oh, my God, yes.
So, is this what a high school dance feels like? It's weirdly not that far off.
Why, you've never been to one? Never seemed like it would be much fun.
Mm.
And is this making you rethink that stance? - Mm, not exactly.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Isn't this, like, every guy's dream? Being stranded with a bunch of babes? You ever feel like your humility holds you back? What? I said babes [CHUCKLES.]
been kissed by a rose on the gray You want to, uh, go for a walk? Um sure.
And now that your rose is in bloom A light hits the gloom on the gray You really read them years ago? What happened out there, you know, after that crash [SIGHS.]
That was Yeah.
I know.
You could've talked to me about that, you know.
For a long time, I thought maybe you might, but It's not exactly an easy topic to bring up.
You guys were so young.
You were traumatized.
All this time you knew everything? And even now, after what just happened.
And I You Shauna.
Of course I still love you.
Okay.
[SIGHS.]
I'll be home soon.
[PHONE RINGING.]
Shauna? Uh, wait, wait, wait.
What do you mean you have him? Where are you? [PHONE CHIMING.]
Finally.
Shauna needs us to meet her.
She found him, Nat.
[GRUNTS.]
I found it under the porch a few weeks ago.
Here.
- Oh, wow.
- [BOTH CHUCKLE.]
- Oh - [CHUCKLES.]
[SIGHS.]
This is gonna sound weird, but I haven't really wanted it.
Well, in that case [CHUCKLES.]
How much longer are you gonna keep up this secret boyfriend act? [CHUCKLES.]
Oh, God.
Speaking of boyfriends, what is going on with you and Travis? It's pretty obvious that he wanted me to be a completely different kind of girl.
You know what? It [CLEARS THROAT.]
[EXHALES SHARPLY.]
Fuck.
I think Misty poisoned me again.
I think she poisoned all of us.
But at least I don't think you can die from shrooms.
You mean, like, shrooms shrooms? Buckle in.
[GIRLS GIGGLING.]
[LAUGHTER.]
[TAISSA.]
Oh, my God.
What? [VAN.]
[LAUGHING.]
No, no.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
You look like a tree.
- [HAUNTING MUSIC.]
- [LAUGHS.]
[VAN.]
Like a really hot tree.
Guys, doesn't Tai look like a tree right now? [LAUGHTER.]
She kind of does.
Or do the trees look like Taissa? [LAUGHING.]
I feel weird.
Ben.
[GRUNTING.]
Shh.
Do you feel that? I think I do.
Like energy Coming up from the ground.
[LOTTIE.]
Something's coming.
[GASPING.]
What's wrong? It it moved.
You guys something's happening.
No.
Something's coming.
We won't be hungry much longer.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
Still kind of creepy up here.
[CHUCKLES.]
I was gonna say romantic.
Wait.
What are you doing? [CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
What do you think we're doing? You don't want to? Want to, uh ? [SCOFFS.]
Make a pillow fort.
What else? - But I'm - What? What about Natalie? What about her? I think, um I think I'm in love with her.
[LAUGHS.]
Oh, my God.
You are so sweet.
You are so sweet and naive and dumb.
Um I-I Yeah, Travis, dumb.
It-it's fine.
I used to be dumb, too.
I used to actually think it mattered who your first was.
I used to think a lot of shit mattered.
I barely slept the night before we left because I cared that much about a fucking soccer game.
[CHUCKLES.]
Shauna was fucking Jeff.
My best friend was having sex with my boyfriend behind my back.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
It's funny, I used to pretend I didn't know if I loved Jeff, when the truth is, I didn't even like him that much.
And I was so mad at Shauna, but now I realize she's right.
Friendship doesn't matter.
Love doesn't matter.
They're just things that we use to pretend we aren't gonna end up like dead cabin guy; like rotted-out husks in some bullshit attic.
But of course that's how it ends.
That's all we are the whole time.
It doesn't matter.
We're just shells with nothing inside.
I'm not asking again.
The choice is yours.
- [HYPNOTIC MUSIC.]
- Ben? Ben?! Where is everyone? Nat and Coach are friends? Misty won't like that.
But she's gone.
And what about Jackie? Or Travis? They left.
[TAISSA.]
Together? That's so Jackie.
That's very Jackie.
She's not doing anything wrong.
But what are they doing? We should find them.
Wait, why? He doesn't belong to her.
- [VAN.]
Wait.

Why would you do this to Natalie? - We didn't.
I, um - They did.

Look.

Lottie, stop.
- What did you do? - Stop that! Travis, do something! None of us are here, though, are we? What the fuck is wrong with you? [INTRIGUING MUSIC.]
What, you're just gonna stand there? [CHUCKLES.]
Shauna.
Hey! Stop! Stop it! Stop! - What - [PANTING.]
You took something that doesn't belong to you.
Oh, what, like the fucking spirits give a shit that Nat called dibs on Travis? This has nothing to do with her.
Okay.
Hey, get off! You fucking psycho! Don't you understand? You don't matter anymore.
What? Hey! No.
Lottie! Fuck! Fuck! [DISORIENTING MUSIC.]

[BREATHING HEAVILY, MOANING.]
Please.
I need to see you.
Okay.
[PANTING.]
[TAISSA EXHALES.]
You are so fucking beautiful.
[LAUGHS.]
We're about to starve to death in the wilderness, and I'm sitting here crying about a boy.
[CRYING.]
That's so fucking stupid.
No.
It's not.
It's not stupid, it's-it's true.
It's love.
It's Holy shit.
It's everything.
Natalie, love is everything.
It's it's the whole reason that we're here.
You have to go.
You have to go and find Travis.
Find Travis and tell him how you feel.
It can save us all.
- Go.
- [SOFT LAUGH.]
I heard everything, and you're right.
- Jesus.
- You're so right.
Misty, what are you doing? [MISTY.]
Don't fight it.
There is nothing to be ashamed of.
Love is the reason that we're here.
Mm.
Oh, Misty, just stop! I don't love you.
I love Paul! What? Who's Paul? He's my boyfriend, Misty.
I'm gay.
Yeah, that's right, you heard me.
Gay.
I'm gay, gay, gay.
[LAUGHS SOFTLY.]
Did you hear that, Mom? Dad? God? All my furry forest friends? I'm gay.

Lottie? - Shh.

You know what to do.
[MUFFLED GRUNTING.]
It's okay.
It wants us to.
What the fuck?! Stop! - Move.
- [GRUNTING, COUGHING.]
J-Jackie, I [JACKIE.]
Nat! The knife! [BREATHING HEAVILY.]
Oh.
Are you okay? I'm fine.
- [GASPS.]
- It's in all of us, you know.
Even him.
Even you.
That's enough of your weird - fucking bullshit, Lottie.
- [LOTTIE GIGGLING.]
Haven't you done enough? [LAUGHING.]
[LOTTIE CONTINUES LAUGHING.]
[WHISPERS.]
Shh.
Come in.
[TAISSA.]
Is this his apartment? [GASPS.]
[TAISSA.]
Oh, my God, Shauna.
You killed him.
Who is he? I met him a few months ago.
We got into a car accident, and then we started sleeping with each other.
Oh, my God.
This is your boyfriend? You were seeing somebody around the time that all of us were getting blackmailed, and you didn't think to mention it? I'm telling you now.
W when he's dead.
When he can't fucking mumble a word to us.
What the fuck, Shauna? Jesus Christ, are you even sure he did it? Well, um he went out to get us coffee this morning, and when he was gone, I found this in his closet.
He came back and he saw me with it, and, you know, he realized that I must know what he did, so he attacked me.
And I, um, you know, I had no choice.
Where's my money? Where's your money, Natalie? I'm not sure.
Maybe he booked a cruise with it.
Uh, it's not here.
But the burner phone with the texts from you guys, it's How did he know anything about the symbol? Well, um [CLEARS THROAT.]
he also had these.
What the fuck is that? [SIGHS.]
They're my journals from the wilderness.
I-I couldn't get rid of them.
I-I've been really careful.
They were in a safe in my closet.
But he must have broken into it sometime pretty soon after we started seeing each other.
Holy shit, Shauna.
You let this guy in your house? Can you try to be a little less judgmental? I already feel stupid enough as it is.
You really think this is the guy who killed Travis? I-I don't know.
[TAISSA.]
Oh, my God.
Don't touch a dead body.
- Oh, Natalie.
Ew.
- Natalie, don't do that.
I can't believe you killed him, Shauna.
Now we're not gonna know anything.
Well, you were gonna shoot him at the warehouse.
Okay, which, recall, we told her not to do.
I wouldn't have fucking killed him.
I would've just hit his knees.
He was lying to me.
He was going to hurt me.
I thought that he loved me.
I trusted him.
[INHALES SHARPLY.]
Well, I needed answers! So, fuck, Shauna! So, now what? Well, obviously, we can't leave him here.
Well, we can't exactly Weekend at Bernie's him out the door, either.
Getting rid of the body isn't our only problem, Shauna.
Your fucking DNA is all over this place.
Your fucking texts are in his cloud.
God.
The police are not gonna have to dig deep to find you.
- Yeah, no shit.
- [TAISSA.]
Oh You're a lawyer.
What-what do we do? I practiced land use, not murder clean-up.
Hey.
You're all silent over there.
That's unusual.
You got any ideas? [SIGHS.]
Yeah.
One.
Okay, you can look now.
- Wow.
- [CHUCKLES.]
You know, my whole life I thought I was a spring, but maybe I'm a winter.
You look amazing.
But there's gonna be a lot of cameras there.
It's not too soon to start crafting your image.
Do you think you have a lipstick color that's a little more innocent librarian? [EXHALES.]
Gosh.
That's really smart.
[CHUCKLES.]
I'm so glad I kidnapped you before the reunion.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
When do you think I can meet with the ghostwriter? I can make some calls.
You're gonna need a PR team.
I know the folks who worked on that sex slave pyramid scheme.
Compared to that, this is gonna be a piece of cake.
- You really think so? - 'Course.
I mean so you guys ate each other.
I mean, that is what happened, right? My point is that they're not gonna blame you.
They're gonna feel sorry for you, just like they did with those guys who crashed in the Andes.
You were just trying to survive.
And you know who they're gonna sympathize with the most? The first person to break the 25-year silence.
[SIGHS.]
"I just couldn't live with it a minute longer.
" You needed to unburden your soul.
"No one should have to go through what we went through, and [SIGHS.]
and we were just kids.
I mean, innocents.
And, of course, when we came back, we couldn't get help.
We couldn't betray the team.
But it's time to face the truth, no matter how much it hurts, so that everyone can begin to heal.
" Wow.
- You are gonna be so good.
- [LAUGHING.]
- [DOORBELL RINGS.]
- Oh.
Would you excuse me for a minute? - I'll be right back.
- Okay.
[TENSE VOCALIZING.]
Wow.
You look pretty.
You can save the flattery.
I have nothing to say to you.
Why did you open the door, then? Because I just had to say that.
Okay.
Well I'm sorry.
Are you making fun of me? - No.
- But you never say you're sorry.
I know.
So why are you apologizing? Because I need you.
You need me? Like you need a ride home? Or you need me to get a hacker to help you No.
Well, yeah, kind of.
No.
I mean, that's not the only reason I would come here.
- Okay.
- I've been an asshole.
I've been mean, and you don't deserve that.
You've been here for me in a way that, uh, no one has.
You've been a real friend.
So I I'm sorry, and you're just really good at things.
That's kind of you to say.
What did you need my help with? Well, Citizen Detective, we need you to get rid of a body.
[SOFT CHUCKLE.]
[ENERGETIC MUSIC, VOCALIZING.]
