Two weeks after surviving a death curse,

you'd think there'd be
nowhere to go but up.

And for some of us,
that's been the case.

(PHONE BUZZES)

You won't believe it,

- but I was just thinking about you, Ace.
- _

ACE: Bessita.

How's yacht life?

Oh, wonderful. I'll be home soon.

My chakras are aligning by the minute.

I've been thinking
about getting that done.

GEORGE: Oh, my God,
this is amazing, Millie.

Millie, seriously, this is so good.

Your mom's catfish recipe

is definitely going in The Claw menu.

Uh-huh. I don't know
whether to be alarmed

or relieved that you two
have gotten so close.

Uh, found your supplies for Hallowtime.

Um, Allhallowtide.

It's Horseshoe Bay's festival
for remembering the dead.

Kids make lanterns and
release them at the shore

to represent souls passing on.

Pagan holiday?

Wait, I don't know what
"pagan" means. It's...

- No, no, no, no. What?
- (MILLIE SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY OVER PHONE)

N-No, no. No, Mom, it's
not a pagan holiday.

- It's a children's party.
- (WHISPERS): What is "pagan"?

It's a children's party, okay?

It... George is leaving
her sister in charge

while the rest of us are at Nancy's.

Tell your mom it's gonna be
a nice, non-pagan game night.

Gonna be a nice, non-pagan
game night. No, it's... Mom.

NANCY: Some of us are moving
on full speed ahead.

And me? Where did I move on to?

A morgue.

I moved on to the morgue.

CONNOR: My God, you're still talking.

I'm reflecting on the irony.

There's nothing ironic about
burglarizing my morgue,

being arraigned for it, and
being assigned 500 hours

- of community service as punishment.
- Here.

That's the... that's the irony.

You should make different life choices.

Well, I have 446 hours to figure out

what I'm gonna do next.

- It's only November.
- Dad,

Charles wants a grown-up to play with.

CONNOR: Leo, I'm still working, buddy.

Mommy plays with me when I ask.

Well, Mommy would normally
be with you after school,

but Mommy had to take an
extra shift at her flower shop.

Can you please play with me and Charles?

CONNOR: Not right now. Drew.

- Hmm?
- Take a break from mopping.

Watch my kid for a minute.

Um, babysitting is not a part
of my community service.

Uh, you were sentenced to the morgue.

Kid's in the morgue.
You're watching Leo.

Hi, Leo.

What have you got?

Boris, Jagger,

and this is the new guy, Charles.

He's the coolest one.

He can catch bad guys,
and he talks for real.

- What? What does he say?
- It's a toy.

Don't indulge him.

Charles says the spinning berries
make the world go round.

- (DOOR OPENS)
- TAMURA: Hey, Doc.

Got a weird one for you.

What, are you playing with dolls, Drew?

Male, mid-20s.

Found buried in a backyard garden.

Neighbor's border collie
wouldn't stop barking

and clawing at this one patch of dirt.

Spinal column fully lacerated

and haphazardly stitched together.

Body looks several days old,
judging by the decomp.

Yeah, someone really
did a number on him.

- Cut him up and...
- NANCY: Sewed him back together like a doll.

Oh, don't mind me. I am just mopping.

- Sorry.
- Got the homeowner in custody,

but I can't file charges
without a cause of death.

- Can you handle it?
- CONNOR: Oh, of course.

- I'll take good care of Body 670.
- Thanks.

I'll check back with
you in a couple hours.

CONNOR: Well, it's gonna
take longer than that.

What? It's just me around here.

Sorry this isn't New York.

I know. I've tried your bagels.

Hey, Detective.

Who's the suspect?

You know I'm gonna find out anyway.

You missed a spot.

(DOOR OPENS)

(METAL CLANGS)

What do you mean, I didn't
read the schedule? I...

What forwarded e-mail?

Never mind. It's fine. I can take him.

Y-Yes. I got him. Okay.

All right, Leo.

Let's hit the restroom,

then I can take you to your thing, okay?

But Nancy didn't get
to play with Charles.

Well, next time, okay?

I'll punch your time card
when I get back.

Keep your hands to yourself.

You're on camera.

I would've convinced
myself that was nothing.

Hey.

CARSON: Nancy.

Listen, I'm not gonna be able
to meet you for lunch today.

I'm really sorry, but I promise
we can reschedule.

Oh.

- You're upset.
- No. No, it's okay.

I'm sure, whatever it
is, it's probably big.

It's a case. One that can
help repair my reputation.

And this particular client
will pay very well if I win.

Well, I have total faith that you will.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) Thanks,
but this one won't be easy.

(CHUCKLES): Why? Did they find a body

in her backyard or something?

Oh, you got that case.

Where are you right now?

Nowhere in particular.

You're doing your community service

at the morgue, aren't you?

Okay. I'm gonna hang up now.
I'll call you back later. Bye.

I didn't have time to cook.

How much food is George letting us

take from The Claw for game night?

Enough for five people.

Ah, so five cans of tuna?

Let's order from Lu Chow's.

I can pick it up on the way.

- (THUD)
- Yeah.

(THUD)

We can make Nick pick it up.

Maybe pizza. That's always easy.

Plus, we made Nick get food last time

My mom's catfish is outstanding.

Um, why do you shake

Yeah, hasn't that poor fish
suffered enough indignity?

Millie said every step is crucial,

Now, where is that corn oil?

not to use olive oil

NICK: No, it was just
an oil mishap. Is it time?

I'm gonna destroy all of you.

Game night Ace crushes.

NICK: Please...

please tell me that's a
decoration for game night.

Nancy, did you... kill someone?

What? No, Bess!

This body was brought
to the morgue today.

And the next thing I know,
it fell out of my cabinet.

He follow you home?

GEORGE: How?

I don't know, I don't know.

Okay, and we-we're sure
he's actually dead?

No, no, no, don't,
don't, don't touch him!

- Oh, he smells.
- Right, okay.

So I'm calling the cops.

No, you're not. If you call
the cops, we all get arrested.

ACE: She's got a really good
point... Detective Tamura

already thinks we got a thing
for dead bodies, so I...

Yeah, Tamura is not
woke to the supernatural.

So I think that this body wants me

- to solve his murder.
- GEORGE: Are you sure this isn't you just

feeling aimless and grasping
for a sense of identity

- during your gap year?
- This body is clearly haunted.

Something was done to it and I found...

... this in its mouth

at the morgue.

Yeah, that's probably
why he followed you home.

My mom says never steal from the dead.

Yeah, I think it's from
a ritualistic practice,

or a calling card from a serial killer.

- Ooh.
- ACE: Yeah, you know,

I don't think that a, a normal coroner

is gonna be able to wrap
his head around this.

BESS: No, even worse.

They could get hurt, you know?

We have no idea what this
haunted corpse is capable of.

I hate to say this,

but we do have more practical experience

with the supernatural than
Connor the Surly Coroner.

NANCY: Exactly, which is why we need

to be the ones to figure
out what happened.

So if you could just hang tight
and keep an eye on him,

maybe figure out what that thing is?

- And... ?
- And...

examine the body for a
potential cause of death.

NICK: No, we are not
performing an autopsy

- in your kitchen.
- No, you're absolutely right, Nick.

We should do it in the living
room... there's more space.

NANCY: I'm not proposing
anything formal.

I just think

that it's an opportunity

for observation and conjecture.

ACE: I concur.

It's not every day that...

you get the opportunity to
look at a haunted corpse.

Precisely, take your opportunities
when they come.

So, I won't be gone long...

with plenty of time to return
the body to the morgue

before anyone realizes that he was gone.

What? And-and you'll be where, exactly?

I will be talking to the one person

who may know more about this
victim than she's letting on.

Bye.

So what were you doing

when the police found the body
in your backyard?

Sewing.

Sewing what?

The hem in a men's pair of trousers.

I'm a seamstress.

It's my passion.

- Huh.
- (DOOR OPENS)

Carson, hello, uh,

you were running late,
so I let Darlene in.

I was just telling Nancy I
heard a ruckus out back.

I didn't pay it any mind.

Then the cops dug the body
up under the maple tree.

NANCY: And you weren't
curious about that at all?

I stay away from that tree.

Family superstition.

Nancy?

Hmm?

A moment?

The stitching on the body
at the morgue looked rushed.

Amateur.

Darlene sews professionally.
I don't think she did it.

Needlework isn't a defense.

And you're not my investigator.

You just being here compromises
attorney-client privilege.

I'm trying to help you.

You told me that you
had to win this case

to rebuild your reputation
and your finances...

It's not your job to worry
about my finances.

- Oh, my God, how bad is it?
- _

I-I can handle it.

Some things kids
shouldn't have to handle.

If you want to help,

please go bank a bunch of hours

of community service at
that nice, quiet morgue

where you can stay out of trouble.

Yes, sir.

Okay, so we've got a pizza cutter,

a paring knife and some scissors.

Before we open up a haunted
corpse with a pair of scissors,

it might be worth

asking if any of us are
really ready to invite

all of this... back into our lives?

Everything we've done with
Nancy the last few months

gave me a sense of purpose.

Does anybody else miss that feeling?

Yeah, I wasn't excited about
game night anyway, so...

I'm gonna text Jesse.
If anyone can identify

weird creepy bugs, it's her.

- BESS: Okay, so I'm thinking
- _

we use the pizza cutter
for the outside layers,

and then the paring knife once

- we're inside, okay?
- (SIGHS)

What, you thinking the other way around?

- No, I was not.
- (PHONE CHIMES)

See, it pays to be related
to the president

of the Audubon Club.

"Trigonoscuta yorbalindae"?

And she sent a, sent a website.

Let me see that.

Okay, um, uh...

it says these beetles

have been extinct for 100 years.

But they were inside a man
who only died a few days ago?

(HUMMING)

George, you want to call Jesse and... ?

♪ Écoutez la vérité ♪

♪ Je n'étais point femme mariée. ♪

George? George?

Were you singing in French?

No.

I don't speak French.

You okay?

Yeah, just a head rush.

ACE: Then you might not
want to look at this.

But also you should come look at this.

(ALL GASPING)

GEORGE: Are those animal bones?

- BESS: And flowers?
- NICK: What kind of killer did this?

_

You are no longer welcome here.

- Hannah, I know you're angry...
- Goodbye!

Remove your foot and walk away.

There is a body in my kitchen.

A haunted one.

And I need your help.

And I know that you are upset

about what transpired two weeks ago...

"What transpired"?

You stole from me.

And destroyed my property.

Your actions could have
compromised two centuries'

worth of incredibly haunted
objects and exposed

- the town to unspeakable danger.
- I only took one thing.

But you opened all the boxes.

You exposed their
contents to the living.

It could've reawakened
whatever was inside.

That's why I begged you not to do it.

Even now the security
system is still glitching.

I've tried to fix it,

but I don't know if the
archive boxes will stay closed.

Well, I have a friend who
can help with that, Nick.

He can fix anything mechanical,

even if it has a supernatural component.

I am sorry about the archive boxes.

But if this haunted body in my kitchen

has anything to do

with what accidentally...

occurred...

then I have to fix it.

This victim's corpse, it's
filled with occult symbols

and items... animal bones, wildflowers,

insects... I have no idea
what any of that means.

Get inside. Don't touch anything!

I just knew Carson would have
a Nature in Maine book.

That's classic dad.

Oh, hey, look at this,
it's called nightshade.

Highly poisonous to humans.

Do you think that's how he died?

Bess, if he were poisoned,
the flowers would've been

in his stomach, not his lungs.

God, remember when we didn't
have to know this kind of stuff?

ACE: So how's George?

Is she all right with everything?

What, like that time she literally died?

Yeah, she won't...

she won't talk about it.

And I don't want to push
her before she's ready.

You know, I learned that lesson.

George isn't Nancy.

Yeah, but she is George.

And she doesn't get pushed.

That's true enough.

You know, I have some...

experience in the basically
dead department.

I could have that conversation.

Common ground.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... I-I appreciate that.

I got you.

Where'd that come from?

- (BESS SCREAMS)
- Okay, yeah,

Nancy needs to call an exterminator.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Hey.

Look.

Colic root... it's been
extinct since 1879.

So this guy has a bunch
of animal bones in his gut,

extinct beetles in his mouth,
and flowers that have been MIA

since the 19th century in his lungs?

GEORGE: Hold on.

Guys, this place is infested with bugs.

(GASPS) Ew!

ACE: Okay, very dead
body suddenly bleeding.

We should call Nancy
with another update.

- I can't find anything about a corpse
- (PHONE CHIMES)

strewn with deathwatch
beetles and unicorn root.

Try one that leaks blood.

I know some clergy who consult

on post-mortem curses.
I'll put the word out.

They're in Greece and it's
already nighttime there,

so I will call you as soon
as I hear anything.

Go home.

Keep an eye on that body.

(KNOCKING)

Oh.

Maybe they'll go away.

- (KNOCKING)
- Oh.

- Shh.
- Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Where is she?

Where's who? Oh, is that your son?

He looks just like you.

Yeah, my wife was supposed to take him,

but then she had a... floral emergency.

I don't have time to explain myself.

- Where's Nancy?!
- Oh. Oh, excuse you! (SCOFFS)

What the hell?

Leo, stay where you are.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Nancy, is there a bad
guy in your kitchen?

Leo, what are you doing here?

CONNOR: Are you all out of your minds?

What made any of you
think this was okay?

Hey.

I leave you alone in the
morgue for two minutes.

I check on Body 670
an hour later, it's gone.

Last thing on the
security camera was you

pushing boxes in front of the lens.

You have a serious problem.

I'm calling the police.

Uh, to tell them what?

That you left a proven burglar alone

doing her community service
in a morgue, against protocol?

Giving her, clearly, plenty of time

to take a murder victim home?

I mean, that couldn't possibly

- be good for your career.
- Ugh...

(SIGHS)

You stay out of my way.

I'm getting the gurney.

Now what?

(GRUNTS)

Leo, get in.

So...

If you say "Is game night back on?"

I'm gonna propel myself
through a window.

Okay. But is game night back on?

ACE: I owe you a new sponge.

That blood looks fresh.

But Body 670 was in the ground for days.

What kind of... corpse bleeds like that?

One that isn't dead anymore.

I know what you're gonna say,
sweetie, and I know the answer.

The answer is "No". Technically, no.

A child is not supposed to be riding

in the front seat. Yes, I'm aware.

I didn't ask.

Oh, your mother will, though.

Even if she doesn't say those words,

she'll ask with her eyes.

"The coroner's van only has two seats.

How'd you get him home,
honey?" Well, guess what?

I was not supposed to be picking
up a kidnapped cadaver today.

It is not my job to provide
half-baked community service

for teenage felons.

None of this is my fault.

No. You know whose fault it is?

(PHONE BUZZING)

- I can't. No. I mean, what is she?
- _

Hmm?

An omnipresent... wizard.

Yeah.

That's what she is.

Hey, it's Connor. Please leave
a message after the beep.

Connor's still not answering.

Dad, stop!

Charles lost his arm!

- Leo, I've got a body in the back.
- Charles lost his arm!

Oh, for the ever loving love of...

(TIRES SQUEAK)

Stay here. I'll find it.

(SIGHS)

(VAN DOOR CLOSES)

Don't worry, Charles.

Dad's gonna find your arm.

(PLAYFUL WHOOSHING)

(PLAYFUL WHOOSHING)

What now? Are you following me?

Hey!

- (ROARING)
- (YELLING)

Hey, buddy. You okay?

(PANTING)

NANCY: Thanks, Hannah.

Okay, no sign of Body 670.

Ace, can you get your hands

on your dad's police scanner, maybe?

- Already fired it up.
- CONNOR: He was alive.

That man was alive.

Okay, so according to Hannah,
that thing is not even a human.

It's an evil entity masquerading as one.

What kind of entity can even do that?

So, Hannah said that
it most likely belongs

to a class of malevolent
spirits called "therion",

who are capable of
growing humanlike bodies.

Her contact in Athens sent me a chart.

NICK: So, we thought it was the victim

- when it's actually the monster?
- Right.

ACE: How do we know which
one it is, or what it even wants?

I don't know. That's what
we have to figure out.

Um, can somebody drive Leo and Connor

back to my house in the van?

- Yes, I will do it. Yeah.
- Great.

Come on, buddy. Off we go.

- Mm-hmm. It was alive.
- Come on, let's go.

(CONNOR MUTTERS)

Charles wants to stay with you
in case the bad guy comes back.

Oh, I know, but we're gonna

send you somewhere super, super safe.

Okay?

GEORGE: Um, Ace and I are going

- to keep looking for the not-dead monster.
- Come on.

Nice. Uh, let's head to Darlene's house

since that's where the body was buried.

Well, this is where
they dug up the body.

(CLINK)

Well, it looks like superstition's

not the only thing Darlene
kept from past generations.

Yikes.

- Hey.
- Hmm?

It's from the Historical Society.

(GASPS SOFTLY)

(LINE RINGING)

This is it.

In 1847, an Edith Yates
signed for Box 12,

which contains the vapor
of a lamia, its soul.

NANCY: Five bucks, Edith's
married name is "Fowler".

Um, what's a lamia?

One of the therion that
preys on human victims.

NICK: And how did Edith Yates
wind up with its soul in 1847?

She was one of the Women in White.

Not much is written
about them, except...

They were the first people
to call to the Aglaeca.

Um, I think that's her.

HANNAH: They could have
performed a vanquishing ritual

to separate the lamia's
vapor from its body.

Okay, great. Well,
we'll do the same thing.

We can't. As you've mentioned,

it involved a number
of extinct creatures.

I'm guessing the process
must have been very difficult.

That's why the vapor
was sealed in Box 12,

never to be opened again.

Until I broke into them two weeks ago.

That's when the lamia's vapor must have

reunited with its body
and begun to reanimate.

Hey, you can still fix this.

No one's gotten hurt yet.

NANCY: Thanks, Hannah.

- How did the Women in White get involved?
- _

What happened in 1847?

Okay, Midsummer's Eve,

12 people were murdered on the same day.

And the murderer was never found.

Victims included Harriet Barnes,
John Grover, Susan Manning.

- Hey, look how long they were alive.
- _

All the victims were children.

What if the lamia doesn't...

it doesn't just go for humans,

it-it targets human children?

Hey, Charles Fowler...
was a victim on this list.

Charles was Edith's son.

Hey, hang on. Hang on.

I saw something outside.

NICK: Charles has been
standing watch over

the lamia's grave all this time.

Charles says the spinning berries
make the world go round.

Spinning berries.

Can I see that?

I think this belonged to Charles Fowler.

And that's who Leo has been
talking to this entire time.

We have to get to him.

(INDISTINCT VOICE OF WOMAN
ON POLICE SCANNER)

There's no word on the lamia.

You didn't miss anything.

I wasn't sleeping.

I used to space out...

a lot after my coma.

Kept going over all these
weird memories in my head.

Being in the snow...

in my pajamas.

What do you remember...

from after you got hit by the harpoon?

At first, it hurt like hell.

And then it all went numb,

and I saw the sky.

The sunlight... water.

And then, the water got darker.

And Nancy woke me up.

Is that where you go when you drift off?

No.

I don't know where I go.

What if I never feel normal again?

You're still you.

But you got to keep
reminding yourself that.

I am glad you're back.

Um, he's not doing well.

It got up and ran away.

It got up and...

- ran away.
- (WHISPERS): Yeah, he just keeps saying that.

It ran away. Got up and ran away.

Hey, Leo.

So, earlier, when you were saying

that Charles talked to you,

he was really talking to you.

Well, you know what,

I should have listened to you earlier.

- We all should have.
- It's okay.

BESS: How-how long has
Charles been talking to you?

Ever since the bad guy
showed up at Daddy's office.

Charles followed him there.

That's when Charles
started protecting me.

NANCY: You said that the
bad guy was in my kitchen

and that Charles was-was
protecting you from...

from the bad guy.

(DISTORTED YELL)

So that is why the lamia ran away.

Because it was being warded
off by the ghost of its victim.

Is that its weakness?

What, you want to use the
ghost toy to destroy the lamia?

The toy only repelled it, but...

if we had multiple
ghosts to work with...

The lamia's past victims.

(TAKES DEEP BREATH)

Leo, what else has Charles told you

about the bad guy?

I don't want to talk about that anymore.

It's scary.

(QUIETLY): Okay, um, let
me try some au pair magic.

(CLEARS THROAT)

(AS BOXY): All right, all right,

- I'm Boxy.
- (GIGGLES)

Oh, my God.

Hey, just see... see where it goes.

BESS: Do you think
Charles will talk to me?

He's been trying.

Can you hear him?

NICK (BRITISH ACCENT):
Oh, well, well, I'm guessing

only other kids like you
can hear him, Leo.

NANCY: Why did Charles say

that "spinning berries
make the world go round"?

It was his favorite toy.

His friends liked it, too.

BESS: And what did Charles say
the other, uh, kids liked?

Caramel apples and peppermint sticks.

Charles says take the purple flowers

from where he stood watch.

That must be the...

the lavender by the angel statue.

And he says, "Remember our names,

all 12 of us".

(PHONE BUZZING)

Ace?

We just heard over the scanner,
there's a nude man

making his way eastbound
on Bayside Drive.

Oh, wait, but the only place
on Bayside Drive is The Claw.

NICK: Which was just full
of kids. George, your sisters.

- (CHAINS SQUEAKING)
- _

Bye, Penny. Thanks for coming.

Bye. Thanks.

All right, guys,

I am gonna get more tissue paper

so you guys can finish this whole thing.

Okay. Can you get more yellow?

Yeah. Yeah.

- Thank you.
- Let me see this.

That doesn't even look like a cat.

That's because she's
in her astronaut suit.

(GIGGLES): There's no way.

(DEEP GROWLING)

All right, so, who wants what color?

(ENTRY BELL JINGLING)

Ted?

Charlie!

Ted! Charlie!

JESSE: It has them!

(LAMIA SNARLING, HISSING)

NANCY: They're under its spell.

(SNARLING, HISSING CONTINUE)

Nancy, hurry.

- We have to do it right, George.
- GEORGE: Please! Hurry!

Come on, come on!

Please, please, please!

Hurry! Please!

Come on, Nancy.

We call upon the souls
of Elizabeth Roberts,

- Nancy, no!
- Caroline Ellis, Thomas Penwate,

Henry Carter...

- Hey, no, no!
- George!

- George! George!
- GEORGE: Get off me, Nick!

(OVERLAPPING SHOUTING)

Ryan Dorne,

- William Baker, Benjamin Romero,
- No!

Catherine Lambert, Harriet Barnes,

John Grover, Susan Manning,

Charles Fowler.

(LAMIA CONTINUES HISSING, SNARLING)

(DISTORTED, AMPLIFIED THUDDING)

(SCREECHING)

(LOUD RUMBLING)

(DISTORTED SCREAMS)

(SCREECHING)

(SCREECHING STOPS)

(GASPS)

Charlie.

(WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY)

Charlie.

(PANTING): George?

They're sleeping.

(CRYING): They're asleep, I think.

It's okay.

(EXHALES)

Those ghost kids were awesome.

Yeah.

Glad they can rest now.

(SNIFFLES)

TAMURA: So you believe this was a prank?

Some med school students in Orono

thought it would be hilarious

to steal a cadaver and make it look

- like a serial killer did it.
- Hilarious.

They don't know who the students
were, but they're investigating.

The body's back at the med school.

So they're investigating.

(SMACKS LIPS, TAKES DEEP BREATH)

Okay, so I'm just supposed
to take your word for it?

Oh. No, I wouldn't if I were you.

I mean, Connor's only
lived here his entire life.

Knows the county, knows the people,

knows the pranks they play.

I mean, can't a little mischief
be forgiven on Allhallowtide?

That's not a real holiday.

Not a real necktie.

Both of you get out of my office.

CONNOR: Thank you for
listening to my son.

I underestimated him.

That's okay. I did the same thing.

I mean, you forget how much
kids can really handle.

And this lamia,

can I tell Leo it's gone for good?

Oh, absolutely.

It wasn't even a person.

Never alive.

It's, like, malevolence in human form.

I dated a girl like that once.

- Huh.
- Yeah. Thanks.

See you tomorrow. 443 hours to go.

(ENTRY BELL JINGLES)

Thank God Ted and
Charlie don't remember.

I promised Jesse I would explain later.

(SIGHS)

George.

Are you okay?

The real answer is no.

I don't think that
everything is okay with me.

Then we have to figure it out.

I got to figure this out by myself.

(SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE)

Funny thing happened.

Tamura says he's not filing
charges against Darlene.

He's dropping the investigation...

something about a... a med school prank.

Ah, an Allhallowtide miracle.

- (CHUCKLES)
- I told you your client was innocent.

That's the good news.

Bad news is, without a trial,

I need to give Darlene
a refund on her retainer.

Which means we are back
to square one, financially.

- Nancy, that's my problem, not yours.
- I know, Dad,

because kids aren't supposed
to worry about these things.

And I get why people think that way,

- but I am not a kid anymore, and...
- I know, I know.

And whatever hijinks you got into

that helped my client today...

I'm glad you investigated.

I've always wanted to protect you,

but there's no use in trying to
stop you from doing what you do.

Frankly...

you're great at it.

And you should be compensated.

As it happens...

I'm hiring.

- You're serious?
- I am.

I need clients,

which means I need
to keep winning cases,

which means I could use a secret weapon.

Hmm.

I... will work for you, part-time,

so I can keep my job at The Claw.

George would be lost without me.

And I expect a paycheck,

not an allowance,

and only for the cases we win.

Lunches are included.

(BREATH TREMBLING)

Were you singing in French?

I'm still me.

No, you got olive oil.

(WHISPERS): I'm here.

(TAKING DEEP BREATHS)

(CRACKLING, BUZZING)

WOMAN (FRENCH ACCENT): I'm here, too.

(WHISPERS): Odette.

Enchantée.
