Light as a Feather (2018) s02e11 Episode Script

1 Previously, on Light as a Feather We found Margaret Abbot.
She has a new name, Sylvia Gallagher.
She told us how to beat this thing, but she said that we have to play the game again.
- You wanna move to New York? - We should move to New York.
I can't tell my friends that they played this game for nothing, at least not until you tell me what we did wrong.
- [ZZZZZTTTT.]
- [GROANS.]
Henry, please tell me you haven't been stuck in this crate the whole time.
Lena and I woke up in her attic.
We figured we wouldn't tell her about his death prediction or else she'd kill us.
I'm so sorry about Isaac.
I watched him get attacked by wasps, just like his prediction.
Played the game for nothing.
Are we all cursed again? [KNOCKING.]
MCKENNA: Hey.
Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.
No.
No, I just I thought you were the cops again.
Won't leave me alone.
Did you tell them anything? No, just-just that Lena and I got jumped by somebody and we never got a good look at their face when we were locked up.
They seemed to buy it.
They're just still trying to figure out why someone took us in the first place.
It's because I sent you to get Violet's prediction.
- If it wasn't for me - No, no.
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have made it out of that crate.
You found me and you kept my head together.
- I owe you.
- [TAP ON DOOR.]
- The hell is she doing here? - Odd sentiment coming from a person whose life I just saved.
Yeah, so what? We're all just supposed to move on and pretend like you didn't try to kill everybody.
Well, apparently people are dying just fine on their own.
They don't need my help.
So that crazy lady kidnapped you and that other girl to learn about Violet's prediction, right? Hi.
Sammi.
Newly cursed.
It's nice to meet you.
- Yeah, nice meeting you too.
- Wait, so if Sylvia wanted Violet's death prediction, why would she try to kill Henry? She didn't need him anymore.
So she tricked us into playing the game so that you could get Violet's death prediction? Then she followed us to the factory.
Where we never should have been in the first place.
- This isn't McKenna's fault.
- No.
Violet's right.
I mean, I can't expect any of you to trust me if I can't even trust myself or Jennie.
And now we've lost all of our time.
We have nothing.
[SCOFFS.]
So that's our grand plan just lay down and wait to die? No, it's not.
Look, maybe for the time being we should just watch each other's backs, make sure our predictions don't come true.
What, like a buddy system? [CHUCKLES.]
Okay, yeah, I'll I'll take Emory.
I guess Peri and I have each other.
What about you? She's got me.
And we'll figure something out.
We're not giving up.
Violet, you should really have someone too.
Look, this buddy system thing you guys have is really cute, but once you realize when we get down to the wire and there's no way out, it's every man for themselves.
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
[EERIE MUSIC.]
TREY: I'm sorry our New York trip might have to wait a while.
SAMMI: Does it? Well, yeah.
It's not like we can just leave.
Are you sure? Because I think now might be the perfect time.
You realize it could take a week to get to New York.
And who doesn't love a good road trip? Ha.
Look, when I get to New York, I'm gonna do everything that I've ever wanted.
I'm gonna buy a greasy dollar slice and and play an open mic at the Underground.
Maybe even have a conversation with my mom where we're not screaming at each other.
And if I don't make it all the way there, at least I won't be here.
Come with me.
- You're serious.
- I'm dead serious.
That's a poor choice of words.
But if this is how we have to go out, I-I'd rather not do it alone.
You won't be.
I'm coming with you.
[LAUGHING.]
You're right.
Let's leave tonight.
I walked you guys right into that trap.
This is all my fault.
No, absolutely not.
You were just trying to help us.
Yeah, but if I didn't introduce you guys to Sylvia She woulda found another way.
Sylvia, or whoever she really is, she'd been watching us and planning this trap for a long time.
She's probably the one who sent you that anonymous tip.
Hey, this is not your fault.
Okay.
So where do you wanna go? What are you talking about? I mean, there's some crazy lady trying to kill you.
We're sure as hell not gonna stay around here.
But what about McKenna? I can't just leave her.
Didn't you say McKenna has friends she can stay with? I mean, as much as I like McKenna, keeping you safe is my number one priority.
My family, they have a cabin up north.
I mean, maybe we can go there for a few days.
At least until we figure something else out.
Come on, I'm supposed to be your buddy remember? You have to do everything I say.
[CHUCKLING.]
I don't know what kinda buddy system you had at your school, but I can't take it if something happened to you.
So let me take care of you.
Please? [SOFT MUSIC.]
You have two minutes.
Hey, Lena.
- Your face is all smooth now.
- Yeah, yeah, it is.
Hey, how how are you? Are you okay? Hey, they told me you haven't said a word since you've been here.
I tried, but I couldn't.
I wanna go home.
My mom says it's safer here.
So they don't find me again.
Hey, that woman that took us, she's gone.
I'm gonna make sure she never comes near us again.
But what if they find us? Lena, why why do you keep saying "they"? You left some things on your nightstand.
Your prescription's in there too.
Time's up.
Look Lena, I'll come visit you again, okay? Be careful, Henry.
Thanks for letting me crash here.
Yeah, of course.
You can stay as long as you want.
No, no.
It'll probably just be tonight.
My parents will be back from Barcelona tomorrow.
Can't imagine how relieved they must feel.
Well, I'm gonna make us some dinner.
Is frozen pizza okay? - Yeah, that's my favorite.
- Wow, you're easy to please.
- DEB: Hey.
- Proud Camden Mom? - Really? - What? You're going to Camden.
I'm your mom.
I'm obviously proud.
Oh, is Henry here? Yeah, just in the living room.
Good, I'm gonna go say hi.
Oh my God, Henry? - What? - Henry, wake up.
- What happened? - He must have taken these.
Grab my Narcan spray, quick.
Henry, can you hear me? Henry? McKenna! Henry.
- [INHALES.]
- Hey [GASPING, WHEEZING.]
- Henry.
- Are you okay? Henry, listen to me.
I need to know I need to know how many of these you took.
Um, two two.
I took two, like it says on the bottle.
Hang on, this is Duprexitine.
This is at least five times stronger than what you were prescribed.
But I got it straight from the hospital.
The pharmacy must have mixed it up.
This is unbelievable.
I'm gonna make a call.
Henry, what is it? I think Sylvia might still be trying to kill me.
- What do you mean? - She switched the pills.
And I talked to Lena today about when we were taken she kept saying "them.
" And I-I didn't know what she meant, but then I realized Sylvia must have a helper.
And if they're that close that they can switch my pills, it could be anyone.
It could be the cops, it could be someone from the hospital, or even someone we know.
I'm sorry, I-I know I sound crazy.
No, you don't.
You don't sound crazy.
I can't be positive.
Violet was at the same hospital at the same time as me.
Henry, I'm sorry, but there's just no way.
Look, I I just I can't be sure, okay? So I've gotta find her.
Wait, no, Henry.
You can't go.
I'll be back in a little while.
Good news your wound is healing nicely.
Bad news you might have some scarring later.
I'll be back with your prescription.
[LINE RINGING.]
Are we moving there permanently? Look, so I have fashion needs Sue me.
[PHONE CHIMING.]
I'm about to head out, Violet.
Alex, you said that you would help me figure out who's after me.
I almost died.
I'm sorry.
Honestly, I don't know who it is, but I also don't want you to die either.
So watch out, okay? Have your Nana sit with you or something.
A gentle breeze could knock my Nana over, but thanks.
Where are you off to anyway? Peri is taking me to her family's cabin.
It's near where April is, so she's gonna cover for me with her parents.
Oh, family cabin.
Sounds nice.
Just some small place up north.
They got it after her brother Justin was going through some mental health stuff.
- Wait, Justin? - Yeah, ah, I gotta go.
Don't go all evil on us again, okay? - Alex, don't - [CLICK, DIAL TONE.]
Alex! [KNOCK ON DOOR.]
Trey, what are you doing here? Well, I was just stopping by to give you this.
It was supposed to be for Christmas.
And before you thank me, you might wanna look at it first.
Is this a potato chip? I know, I panicked.
But at least there's a story to it, right? Remember, Kindergarten? Oh my gosh, when I told you I loved potato chips.
And I went home, and I taped a bunch to a string for you.
I don't know if I ever told you this, but when my mom made me get rid of it, I just started eating them, like, sobbing.
Well, you won't have to eat this one.
In fact, I wouldn't recommend it.
Um, would you mind? Right, yes.
It's it's perfect.
Thank you.
Well, now that the holidays are over, let's just call it a going-away present.
Going away? Yeah.
Sammi and I are leaving for New York tonight.
Oh.
You mean like, for good? I mean, who knows what'll happen but, with everything going on right now, we're just trying to make the most of the time we have.
You know? Yeah.
Well, I'm, um, I'm happy for you.
- You mean that? - Yeah.
I mean, you should go live your own life.
I'm sorry about the way things ended between us, but I'm happy you and Sammi have each other.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC.]
Hey, even if I'm on the other side of the country, you know I'm always here for you, right? Yeah, of course.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Bye, McKenna.
- Good-bye, Trey.
[DOOR CLICKS CLOSED.]
[LINE RINGING.]
ALEX: This is Alex.
Leave a message and have a fantastic day.
Hi Alex, it's Violet.
Earlier, on the phone, you mentioned something about Peri's brother, Justin, and how he went through some mental health issues.
I have some questions, so give me a call when you get this.
It's really important.
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
Hey.
Sorry, your mom just let me in.
Um, what wow, what what is all this? Oh, I was about to pick up Trey and I can only fit so much in the van, so I thought you might want a upgrade from your Spotify playlist.
I don't know any of these bands.
- This is awesome, thank you.
- Yeah.
I figured they were more Jennie's speed, but hey, maybe you can give them to her if she ever shows up again.
Look, I know I can't make up for what Jennie did, but Yeah, well, she's not really here for me to yell at anyway.
But you and me, we're we're good.
Um, you have interesting taste.
Oh, yeah.
This is hideous.
Um, Trey dropped it off earlier.
- Oh.
He did? - Yeah.
No, it's just it's an inside joke.
He he made me this potato chip necklace when we were kids and I kept wearing it until my mom yelled at me from all of the grease stains.
And I was sobbing and eating it and it was Yeah, that's really funny.
Um, you know, I-I, um, I should probably be heading out, so but, uh, watch out for yourself, okay? Yeah, you too.
Sammi? Please take care of him.
Yeah, I will.
Promise.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Don't think about trying anything or else you'll find out what happens when someone pours pool cleaner down your throat.
Sorry, my mom wouldn't stop crying.
Want me to take the first shift? I made a driving playlist.
Um, I'll be taking all the shifts.
What are you talking about? You're not coming with me, Emory.
I'm riding solo on this one.
Sammi, I thought the whole point was to go together.
I don't want you to go through this alone.
And I love you for saying that, but even if you come with me, there will always be a part of you here with McKenna.
And if I only have a few days to live, I don't wanna spend them with someone who's just wishing they were somewhere else.
I deserve better than that.
Sammi, I want you to know I care about you so much.
- I just wish I - Yeah.
You and me both.
I'm sorry.
I'll miss you, Emory.
Why did you follow me here? What do you want? Are you kidding me? I want my sister back.
And Candace and the last two months of my life.
Well, I hate to tell you, but killing me isn't going to fix that.
Yeah, but it might make me feel a hell of a lot better.
You're not a killer, Henry.
Trust me, if you were, you would've given Sylvia my death prediction months ago.
Maybe I should've.
I have spent the last two months of my life locked in an attic 'cause of you.
So if you know who's causing all this, you're gonna tell me right now.
I know you have no reason to believe me, I get that, but I'm telling you we're after the same person.
And if it's who I think it is, our friends are in danger.
They're not your friends, Violet.
Do you wanna know who ruined both of our lives? 'Cause I can prove it to you if you just let me look in the file.
Hey.
Trey? Wait, what're you what're you doing here? Sammi said you guys were heading out.
Yeah.
And she did.
Well, why are you still here? Because it's where I should be.
I thought you were gone forever.
You won't get rid of me that easy.
It looks like you were heading somewhere yourself.
Oh, um, I didn't really have a plan.
It's just, if we run out of time and this thing on my back kills me, I just can't be here.
I can't be around all of you.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
Whatever happens, we'll face it together like we always have.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Well, I guess I'll see you in the morning.
But if you try to run away again, I-I know someone who can track your phone.
- You wouldn't.
- Try me.
[POUNDING ON DOOR.]
Sorry, we saw the light in the window.
Why is no one answering their phone? I don't know, my phone's upstairs.
Why, what's up? - Please tell me Alex is here.
- No.
She left awhile ago with Peri, why? Oh, my God.
Can someone tell me what's going on? When I was at Daybridge, there was this guy in group therapy; he said that he spent a lot of time at a cabin that his family bought for him to help him recover.
His name was Justin.
This is Justin, Peri's brother.
I played the game with him.
He's the body in the trunk.
[DRAMATIC MUSICAL STING.]
Wait, that that's Justin? Well, does Peri know? Why hasn't she ever said anything? Look, I-I've been trying to jog my memory ever since I talked to Lena, and there was someone helping Sylvia.
After I got knocked out at Lena's house, I woke up in someone's car and Sylvia was there, but there was another woman driving.
It was her.
Peri.
Oh my God, Alex.
Hey.
Hey, we're here.
Let's go.
SINGER: I got the devil hanging on I've got tonight Hey, so um, if you're still worried about McKenna, then we can at least crash here for the night.
And if you still wanna go back in the morning, we can go back.
- Deal? - No I'm glad I'm here with you.
My knight in shining armor.
So you go unlock the doors, and I'll get the bags.
Got it.
[ELIA EX'S TROUBLE.]
