You've been at this forever, Dorothy.
It's pointless.
How can you say that, Ada?
[eerie rumble]
Can't you feel him?
He's close now.
You keep on doing the same thing,
but nothing ever happens.
Perhaps if I had some assistance.
[grunting]
- On three, two, one.
- [panting]
[both grunt]
- [thudding]
- [rumbling]
[clattering]
[switch clicks]
[curious music playing]
[panting]
I told you it would work.
[music swells, ends]
[lively instrumental music playing]
- [cheery orchestral music playing]
- [birds twittering]
[Nina] Kinsey! Bode!
Time for lunch!
[music continues]
[fluttering]
[whooshing]
[Kinsey] Ha!
[Bode exhales]
- Beat you again.
- This game is rigged!
It's not like I chose to be a sparrow.
- Although, it does have some advantages.
- [key clicks]
I can always get my bird friends
to poop on your car.
You don't have any bird friends.
- Not yet.
- [chuckles]
So, I think almost all the prep work
for the wedding's finally done, and
Oh, I wanted to show you guys something.
I never noticed this before.
It fell off the bookshelf
in the winter study.
Isn't it cool?
I think there might be
something magical about it.
You also thought that
about the record player.
And the weird old squirrel figurine.
Okay, okay, fair, but look.
Keyhouse is in it.
Why would someone make a snow globe
with their house in it if it wasn't?
But it doesn't have a keyhole.
Maybe, and just hear me out,
maybe it's just
a very cool antique snow globe.
[utensils clinking on plates]
You hear anything from Tyler?
Well, yesterday, he liked one of my texts,
so we can assume he's still alive.
Well, good.
That's good?
Ah. I guess the bar
is even lower than I thought.
He wanted time on his own.
We have to respect that.
When he's ready,
I'm sure he'll start communicating more.
In the meantime, we just need
to carry on with our own thing.
It's been two months since he left.
I kind of figured he'd be back already.
Yeah, but we've been having
a lot of fun of our own, right?
Well, yeah.
And I'd say we're doing pretty great.
I mean, Dodge is gone.
We haven't heard anything from Eden.
Things are finally kind of normal.
Well, except for you.
You're the weirdo.
[chuckles]
[waves crashing]
[foreboding music playing]
[music intensifies]
[dramatic music playing]
[rumbling]
[music stops]
[gasps]
Where is it?
[suspenseful music playing]
[music intensifies]
[roaring]
Oh, so, um, Duncan said Brian's mother
can't be seated within 50 feet
of his great aunt Sharon.
He didn't explain.
Okay, I'll switch her out with one
of Duncan's Fish-Head College friends.
Great.
I think everything else looks good
unless you spot any other powder kegs.
[Kinsey] The wedding's Saturday.
I think it's safe
to give his seat to someone else.
What about Cousin Frank from Phoenix?
I don't think I can handle that many
knock-knock jokes in one evening.
- They're a family tradition.
- Your dad's side of the family.
Maybe you could ask someone.
Me? No.
You're entitled to a plus-one.
Why don't you ask Josh?
Oh. Um
I I don't think I'm ready.
Jamie's already gonna be there
hanging out with Bode.
I think it would actually be nice
if you asked him.
[chuckles softly] I'll think about it.
[camera clicking]
[pleasant music playing]
[adventurous music playing]
[seagulls cawing]
Feel good to be back?
Nebraska's nice, but what can I say?
I'm a man of the sea.
[music continues]
[doorbell rings]
[door opens]
[sighs] Ellie!
- [chuckles]
- [Ellie sighs]
You're probably wondering where I've been.
Oh, you don't have to explain.
Do you feel any different?
Not knowing about magic,
having that separate me from my kids
was hard.
Now we can connect.
I know what they've been through
and what you and Rendell
and your friends went through.
So then, you know my part.
Bringing back Lucas
is what started it all.
Oh, you had no way of knowing
what would happen.
Besides, I think the keys
work on you unconsciously.
They wanna be used.
Good, bad, they don't care.
I'm incredibly sorry
about what happened to you.
I know the kids feel horrible.
It's not on them.
It was all Dodge. It's not their fault.
Have you heard from Lucas?
I don't expect to.
He needed to get out of here.
Start fresh someplace else.
Can't say I blame him.
Honestly, I wanted
to start someplace else too.
But Rufus, he had his heart set
on coming back here, so
[inhales sharply]we're renting
a little place down by the water.
I couldn't bring myself
to move back into the old house.
Sure, that makes sense.
I'm expecting
a lot of looks and questions.
Apparently, everyone thinks I was found
wandering outside of Pittsburgh
and that I couldn't even
remember my own name.
Better than the truth.
Ellie.
What was it like?
That other place.
[solemn music playing]
It was
like time and space
didn't even exist over there.
And I was just
drifting in
It's kind of like
trying to remember a bad dream where
all that's left of it after
is that feeling.
And it's, um
it's a feeling
that I hope I never have again.
[music continues]
[indistinct chatter]
[Gordie] This film,
it's exactly what I was hoping for.
It's gonna be just what Matheson needs
to get our tourism revenue back on track
after the effect of recent tragedies.
[Zadie] I hope so, Mr. Shaw.
We are just so happy
that you hired us to do it.
I can hear the plummy voice
of the narrator.
"Matheson Massachusetts,
home of revolutionary history,
stunning cliffs,
rich New England clam chowder"
And the occasional mass fatality.
Doug.
[mouthing] No.
Seriously. I mean,
maybe we should lean into that.
We We could use this film to
to really target the dark tourism crowd.
And how about this.
Matheson Massachusetts.
Home of unexplained massacres.
You should check out
the tourism numbers at Chernobyl.
- He's joking.
- [Gordie] Oh.
[laughs] Chernobyl, yeah. That
- Funny. Yeah.
- is funny.
Ooh. I better run.
- [grunts]
- Oh.
Keep up the good work here.
Got it. Will do. Thank you.
Yeah. Are you trying to torpedo our one
good source of funding and equipment?
I'm just trying to make this balancing act
a little bit easier.
[Zadie] And action.
And Abby.
Great. Great.
Keep it coming.
Perfect.
Okay. Now you sense him.
- And turn!
- [gasps]
[Zadie] And cut!
Ahh! [laughs]
Guys, that was beautiful.
We just got B-roll for the tourism film
and a Splattering pick-up
all on the same day.
- Boom.
- [Zadie] Boom.
And Bode found this new key
that turns you into an animal.
- Did you and your friends use that one?
- A couple times, yeah.
You did? What animal were you?
Uh, I think I was an owl.
That's so cool.
So, did you just fly around Keyhouse and
Um, sorry, Ruf.
I'd just rather not talk about it,
if that's okay?
That's fine.
So, what do you say we split the meatloaf?
[sighing loudly] Can I get you something?
Oh my goodness.
- Ellie Whedon?
- Hi, Margie.
Oh. [chuckles]
I'm so happy that you're back!
We were all so relieved when we heard
the news that you'd been found.
That's very kind. Thank you. [chuckles]
So we will start
with two vanilla milkshakes, please.
Yeah. Yeah. I'll be right back with those.
[sighs]
I know this isn't easy for you, Mom,
but I think it's good we came back.
I want you to be happy.
You can be happy here too.
If you try. I think.
Will you try?
Yeah.
Okay.
[crickets chirping]
I've got to remember
to call the caterers tomorrow
and update the number of vegetarian meals.
[indistinct whispering]
[suspenseful music playing]
[whispering continues]
[Nina] What do you need, bud?
[whispering continues]
[whispering continues]
Oh, hey, no, no snacks right now.
We're in the dinner zone.
- I just need to
- Shh!
- I'm listening.
- [whispering continues]
[gasps] Wait. Are you
Do you hear something whispering?
[whispering gets louder]
[Bode] I think it's in here.
Okay, uh, let's Uh, let's
let's just keep things
somewhat orderly while we
I think it's hidden in here somewhere.
[clattering]
[whispering intensifies]
[whispering stops]
A snowflake.
Where else is there a snowflake?
[chuckles softly]
I think I know where it goes.
Here, come with me.
[adventurous music playing]
[clicks]
I told you it was magic.
Should we try it?
We should probably wait for Kinsey.
Yeah, okay.
[inhales] You're right. Though she did say
she might not be back until late.
All right, I guess we could try.
But only for a second.
[music continues]
[sighs]
[cranks, dings]
[wind whistling]
Whoa! Mom, look!
[epic music playing]
[gasps]
[chuckles]
[door opens]
- [joyful music playing]
- [panting]
[grunts]
[grunting]
[grunts]
[foreboding music playing]
Can I help you?
Hey, hey, what are you doing?
Wait a minute. Get your hands off me.
You can't just [grunts]
- Where is it?
- We know you have it. We saw you.
- What What are you
- The snow globe.
[gasps]
- [gasps]
- [key cranks, dings]
- [eerie music playing]
- [windows slamming shut]
[Bode] Mom?
- Did you think we'd go away too?
- [gasps]
[grunting, panting]
- Ahh!
- [in demonic voice] Now give us the key.
No, don't try and take it. It'll
burn you?
I knew it.
I could tell she's not a Locke by blood.
She must have married in.
- [Nina grunts]
- [Ada grunts]
[Dorothy yelps]
[grunts]
- [Dorothy panting]
- [groans]
- [grunts]
- [Nina grunts]
[eerie rumble]
Can you feel him now?
[Ada] Yeah.
He'll be waiting for us.
[dramatic music playing]
[door opens]
[somber music playing]
Bode.
[exhales sharply]
[Bode panting]
[doorknob rattling]
[grunting]
Bode!
Hello?
[banging on door]
Bode!
Where are you?
Mom! I'm right here! Mom!
[inhales sharply]
[exhales]
Mom!
[wind whistling]
Mom!
Bode!
[somber music playing]
[exhales]
Bode?
[gasps]
[straining]
[shivering]
[breathes deeply]
Okay, so next week
we're profiling the aquarium,
which will also double
as Nephropidae's new lair.
[phone vibrating]
Hey, Mom.
[Nina on phone] Kins,
you need to come home now.
[exhales]
[foreboding music playing]
[banging]
[grunting]
[Nina] Oh, I can't believe I did this.
This is all my fault. [sobs]
No, Mom, you can't blame yourself.
He's my little boy.
He could be freezing to death in there.
We're gonna find those women
and get back that key.
Do you think they were demons?
They talked about how they'd get burned
if they took a key from a Locke?
They were unnaturally strong.
We're gonna need to arm ourselves.
Come on.
[tense music playing]
What if we can't find them?
We'll find them.
[music continues]
[music swells, ends]
[owl hooting]
[suspenseful music playing]
[eerie whoosh]
[eerie rumble]
[Dorothy] We're here, master.
What names do you go by here?
Raiments of flesh.
She's Dorothy, and I'm Ada.
Dorothy and Ada Wheeler.
Dorothy and Ada.
You are dearly needed.
[tense music playing]
Kinsey, look.
[brakes screeching]
[music swells, ends]

[grunting]
[screams]
[breathing heavily]
[grunting]
[thrilling music playing]
[grunts]
[breathing heavily]
[banging]
Let me in!
Let me in! I'm freezing!
[gasping]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Captain] You can enter. I cannot.
What I want is at the bottom.
[music intensifies]
[both grunting]
[pulley squeaking]
[tense music playing]
[music swells]
[Captain] What do you see down there?
[Ada] Just a dead girl!
Check her pockets.
- And there are more of these?
- [Ada] More keys?
- Oh, yes.
- Many.
There's one
that can turn you into a ghost,
and one that gives you power
over any sort of plant,
and another one that can bring
a simple drawing to wicked life.
Go get them.
All of them.
Well, being what we are,
we can't just take them from the Lockes.
I don't care how you do it.
Just bring me the keys.
You should go in and rest.
I'm gonna keep on looking.
Mom.
- [Nina] I'm not giving up.
- No one's giving up.
Let's just go inside, make a plan.
Maybe Chamberlin saw where
the sisters went. We can ask him.
- [switch clicks]
- [Dorothy] Good evening to you.
Who's this one? A daughter?
Yeah, this one's a blood Locke.
You can see it in her face.
Just give us the key.
We'll give you your Snow Globe Key
so you can rescue your boy,
but you must give us all the other keys.
[tense music playing]
Nice try, sweetheart,
but to use this,
you'd need to know our names,
wouldn't you?
We're not giving you our keys.
We tried to be civilized,
but you leave us no choice.
I'll try and hold them off. Go!

- [yells]
- [Dorothy yelps]
[sighs]
Yeah, I'm not falling for that again.
[Dorothy, echoing] What the hell is this?
Get me out of here,
you skinny, little redhead!
[grunting]
[panting]
[grunting, yelling]
[panting]
- [grunting]
- [yells]
[yells]
[Kinsey panting]
[screaming] Mom! She's coming for you!
[frantic music playing]
What did you do to my sister?
You can have her back
if you give us the Snow Globe Key.
Keep her.
- [grunts]
- [Ada groans]
- [demonic roar]
- [Kinsey grunting]
Bring her in here.
[cranking and clicking]
[Kinsey grunts, pants]
[Ada grunting]
[snarling]
[yells]
[dramatic music plays]
[echoing] Ada? Are you in here too?
[Ada, echoing] Dorothy!
Where are you? I can't see you.
- [Dorothy] You useless imbecile.
- [Ada] Don't you dare blame
[breathes deeply]
[cranks, dings]
[wind whistling]
- [door opens]
- [Nina] Bode.
[Nina panting]
[Kinsey] Here. Come on. [grunts]
[sweeping orchestral music playing]
I don't think I'm gonna want
to play in the snow ever again.
Oh, just give it some time.
I'm just grateful
you were there to help me through.
Mom. You were a badass.
I kind of was.
Oh, your hair is still wet.
[ominous music playing]
[rustling]
[fluttering, squeaks]
[music swells, ends]
- You guys found a tent out in the woods?
- [Kinsey] Yeah.
It looked like someone
had been staying there for a while.
Do you think it had anything to do
with those demon sisters?
I don't know.
- Maybe it was Eden's tent.
- [eerie whoosh]
Eden's not really a camper.
Plus, we haven't seen her in months.
I heard her parents think she ran away.
They've got people searching for her.
And what do you think?
I think if she were still in Matheson,
we'd know it.
I thought everything
was getting back to normal again.
I know.
We just have to keep looking out
for each other. Okay?
I wish that we could
talk to Tyler about all this.
Me too, but there would be no point.
He wouldn't understand it.
I know, but I still wanna talk to him.
I wonder where he is.
[disc jockey] We're coming up
on quittin' time at Cascade County,
Montana's best radio station.
- Here's another oldie, but goodie.
- [hammering]
[country music playing softly]
- [sighs, sniffles]
- You're getting pretty good at that.
Been learning from the best.
Yeah, I used to think
my superpower might be
flying, or turning invisible,
or something.
Turns out it's hammering nails.
And you just distracted me
from working 30 seconds for free.
[sighing] Ah. I guess I owe you, uh,
a dime?
How about a beer?
- Not too sure about your math on that one.
- Mmm. I got cheap taste.
Seriously, me and the guys are gonna
get a drink. Wanna come?
- Uh
- [woman] It's Lutz's.
They're very, shall we say,
chill about checking ID.
I I just wanted to finish this last
Stop already! It's yabba-dabba-doo time.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll meet you there.
[rain pattering]
[turns off engine]
[locks door]
[country music playing]
[indistinct chatter and laughter]
Where are the guys?
Jeremy's girlfriend
is having one of her freak-outs,
and Terrence forgot
it was his poker night.
So, I guess it's just you and me.
[drink pouring]
Thanks. Yeah, I'm
I'm just gonna have one. I'm driving.
- [glasses clink]
- [phone dings]
What you got there? Something serious?
[sighing] Uh
No, it's just, uh, my uncle's wedding.
- You gonna go?
- No, I don't think so.
It's too soon. Too far. I
feel like I just left that place.
Okay. Well, I'm sure
the show will go on without you.
[chuckles] Yeah.
Unless you have to sing "Ave Maria"
or something.
- No voice.
- Mmm. [chuckles]
Hey, no pressure.
You gotta listen to your gut.
I think our guts are very wise.
Mine told me to leave home at 17
and never look back.
It also told me to stop eating
extra spicy buffalo wings.
Both decisions
I've never once come to regret.
All that's to say, you must have left home
for a reason, though, right?
["Dreamer" by Aisha Badru playing]
[crickets chirping]
[phone vibrating]
- Hey there.
- [Nina on phone] Hey.
- How's it going?
- [Nina] Good.
I'm I'm really good. You?
Yeah, good. Same. Same.
It's been a whole season
of personal growth over here.
Jamie has finally realized
the chicken nuggets taste the same,
whether they're shaped like dinosaurs
or not, so that's huge.
[laughs]
Um, I'm actually calling because
Uh, well [clears throat]
As you know, my brother-in-law's wedding
is coming up, and
I was wondering if you might
wanna come as my plus-one.
Your plus-one?
[Nina] It's Saturday,
so it's ridiculously last minute.
And if it's at all
Yeah, no, I would love to.
Yeah, I would love to.
You would?
[Josh] If there's an empty seat
next to you,
then I'm in.
[song continues]
What do you think?
[smacks lips] It really pulls
the whole room together.
We've been blinded by a veil ♪
Now we just have to
put this somewhere safe.
Hey, wait a second.
[Bode] What?
The grim reaper as our leader ♪
[camera clicks]
We forgot this place is magic ♪
[woman] Well, that was fun.
It was. Yeah. Thanks for inviting me.
Hey, do you wanna keep hanging out?
We could go back to my place
and watch a dumb movie or something.
I live, like, over there.
I think I should, um
I think I should
just go home and go to bed.
Okay.
Just know I'm gonna keep asking.
See you in the morning!
Good night.
