♪ ♪

- George?
- Hm?

[exclaims] Looking
very profresh.

Can't talk. Got to stick
to a very diligent schedule

Carson made me.

Um... you're-you're
sitting together?

But not too together.

Okay, no contact. Smart.

Word of our curse travels fast.

I went to Bess
for moral support.

Bess went to everyone
else for moral support.

I'm trying to process
this whole thing,

but I need more information.

You don't.

Temperance cursed us.

She got inside my head
and I made the decision

to kill her anyway.
And as a result,

we can't act on our
feelings for each other,

and that's all you need to know.

Define "got in your head."

What aren't you telling me?

It won't change anything.

So, there is something.

And if-if it doesn't
change anything,

then why not just tell me?

I want to know how you know

about the curse.

Are you looking for loopholes?

- Can you blame me?
- Yes.

The stakes are too
high. You will die.

Jade. Nonbinary.

[sighs] Exquisite.

- They slid into my DMs.
- [snorts]

- Did I use "DMs" right?
- Mm-hmm.

Huh. We're going to brunch.

Ooh, look at you,
getting back out there.

What? No. No, no, no,
no, no, no. No, no.

This is not getting
back out there.

Oh, please. I mean,
this is like your first

first date since high
school with someone that

you haven't already
hooked up with

and who isn't in
our friend group.

Wow.

- I'm getting back out there.
- Mm-hmm.

Hey, what do you think?

No hat.

- Hat.
- [clears throat]

Thank you.

My revised legal memo
and an egg sandwich

is the way to Judge
Abbott's heart.

I just want him to
know how grateful I am

for the opportunity
to be his clerk.

- Mm. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. - Oh, and Nick.

It's fine, we're cool.

- [Abbott grunts, groans]
- [clattering]

What the hell?

What's wrong? What
are you doing?

Oh, my God, Judge
Abbott, are you okay?

Stay away from Magpie Lake.

What?

♪ ♪

- Mmm.
- Mm-hmm.

Mmm! Oh, that's good.

Am I getting hints of,
uh... rose and mint?

Yes! Yes, I'm gonna be
serving that to your parents

with dessert tonight,
so it's a British flair

to follow my famous

lentil soup.

I'm gonna make the
best first impression.

Well, it doesn't
have to be lentils.

Uh, my parents aren't
big soup people.

You know, I wasn't
married to soup.

Okay, um...

This just means a lot to me.

You know, my parents
won't be coming to dinner

anytime soon. Or ever.

This is our one chance

to take this big
relationship step.

Right. Well, um...

My parents are...
they're particular.

But if you're up
for the challenge,

they like salmon.

Uh, like fish and chips?

Mm, maybe less fried
and more elevated.

Okay, um, some
salmon croquettes?

Mm, that's still
kinda fried, though.

- Oh, yeah.
- Think salmon

that you would eat
with a fork and knife.

- Maybe we need more time.
- Hey. No, no, no, no, no.

I can do fork and knife salmon.

It's gonna be perfect.

Since when do you
give up so easily?

We defeated Temperance
before, we can do it again.

- You weren't there.
- Wasn't where?

I'm in this curse too.

Please just stop pushing
me away and tell me.

I'm trying to be strong,
okay? I can't go there.

I can't let those
feelings in right now.

[door opens]

Tristan, uh, Ace.

Ace, Tristan Glass.

- New lobster guy.
- Oh.

He started after...

you left to work at the morgue.

Nancy, guess you're not
running away from me this time.

I was following a lead,

- and you weren't the lead.
- TRISTAN: Ah.

Never the lead. This is
just like high school.

[weak chuckle]

Got a lobster delivery.

In that tiny cooler?

Yeah, I had to barter
these from a competitor.

My boat got a little impounded.

Turns out the harbor
security guard

didn't make empty threats.
But as soon as I get

the Joleneback, you'll
be knee-deep in snappers.

Joleneis a solid boat name.

I, uh, can ask George to
give you a pay advance.

I appreciate that,
but don't feel bad.

I made my own bed.

And I'd save you
again in a heartbeat.

Man, I made my bed too.
I make it every day.

- I made it this morning.
- [phone vibrates]

Hey, George.

[George speaking indistinctly]

What happened?

GEORGE: I told the
paramedics this was

not a normal heart attack, but
they didn't take me seriously.

And look, Nancy, I'm
wearing a blazer.

I am not a doctor,
but veins don't just

turn black like
that. I'm not saying

it was supernatural, but
maybe supernatural-adjacent?

- We have to help him.
- We're gonna figure it out.

That's what we do, right?

- Yeah.
- NANCY: I'll get some pictures for evidence.

So, why did Abbott suddenly
want to destroy that file?

And why did he tell you
not to go to Magpie Lake?

I have no idea what
Magpie Lake is.

But I'll take a look
at the file right now.

I checked Abbott's texts,

emails, call-logs to see
if he received any threats.

But I can't find anything.

Well, what caused his sudden
change of behavior, his panic?

When you left Abbott,
he was drinking water?

Yeah. I filled up his cup

with the pitcher
from the fridge.

- Could he have been poisoned?
- Can I see it?

Does this look cloudy to you?

- [gasping]
- Oh...

Tell me the potentially
poisoned water

didn't just get into your mouth.

Yeah, well...

- She seems okay.
- Yeah,

so did Abbott, at first.

I mean, I think I'm fine.

We should get the...
we should get the water

in the-in the pitcher
tested, just in case.

Any hits on Magpie Lake?

Nope.

Saved by the case, huh?

Great way to avoid
what's going on with us.

That's not fair.

Not a chance, lady.

[car honks]

You know, she was to your right.

Yeah, and I got there first.

You can be the windshield

or you can be the bug.

So, how's it feel
to be trending?

- I'm-I'm trendy?
- Trending. Uh,

- your video is trending.
- Oh.

How is it possible
you didn't know?

Um, I just got on social media.

Okay, now, how is that possible?

Wow, this is
embarrassing for you

and probably your loved ones.

It's a good thing you met me.

- Hm.
- You're a small business owner, right?

Oh. Oh, you...
you looked me up.

I work in PR.

I could help you capitalize

on the popularity
of your last video.

I did a bunch of work
for Harbor Joe's.

Think you should check
out their socials.

Could help you build
a cross-promotion...

I'm sorry, should I be
taking notes here or...

[phone vibrates]

Um, sorry, excuse me.

Uh, Ace. [clears throat]

what's going on? I'm kinda...

in the middle of something.

Oh. Sorry to interrupt.

We have an emergency.

- [clatters]
- Swish.

Abbott's tox screen
came back negative.

But who knows what they
were even screening for?

It's not like the
paramedics passed along

- my useful information.
- Yeah, they were douches.

Were they hot? The
least they could do

is be hot douches,
am I right? Up high.

BESS: Okay, could
someone pass me a lemon?

A lemon-miso glaze
is elevated, right?

Even for Addy's
particular parents?

[imitates whip crack]

- Did you just wh...
- Call me whipped?

NANCY: Hey-o!

Just the guys I was missing.

Party starts now.

The game is: who can be
the first to figure out why

Abbott wanted to
destroy this file

and what happened at
Magpie Lake. Here we go!

Not sure why it's a competition,
but I did just finish

- looking through the...
- Yeah, me too, 20 minutes ago.

It's a case summary of a trial

Judge Abbott presided
over in 1996. A teenager,

Logan Rhodes, was charged with

breaking into his
classmate's house.

The classmate was a minor
so their name was redacted.

Abbott dismissed the charges
on insufficient evidence.

- Nothing too damaging in there.
- GEORGE: Wait, and there was

- no mention of the lake?
- ACE: Nick and I have been doing

an extensive search.

Closest Magpie Lake...
3,000 miles away.

NANCY: Let me see that.

Hey, we should talk
to Logan Rhodes.

He lives in Eastville.

Wait, if Logan is in
Eastville, that's only

- ten minutes away from here.
- NANCY: Right.

We should talk to Logan.
Good thinking, George.

Thanks, that was my thinking.

- But...
- You know, you should smile.

Guys are easily 25%
hotter with teeth visible.

You're all hearing this, right?

Yeah, something is
definitely wrong.

Yeah, it's like she's
mentally turned into a dude.

And now she's Nan-spreading.

Yeah, but do all
dudes act like that?

Nick and I don't act
like that, right?

Oh, you're not
capable of achieving

this level of awesome. It's
not your fault. It's biology.

BESS: Right, yeah,
I know this guy.

She's acting like a
straight cis-female

gender-swapped version
of a bro-y guy.

Oh, completely clear, thanks.

ACE: This must've
all started when

she got splashed
with Abbott's water.

Must have done
something to Nancy.

I'm fine. Chill.

I'll get that.

Okay. So, what was
in that water...

Some mystical
bro-licious poison?

Can one poison give Abbott
a heart attack and also

turn Nancy into the type of
guy that I will never date?

If the poison affected
Abbott's behavior,

maybe it sent him into distress,
causing the heart attack.

I'll, uh, look it up and see
if I can find an antidote.

All while perfectly
searing this salmon.

At least Bro-Nancy
is, you know, harmless

and somewhat entertaining.

Yeah, we're all amused.
We need to figure out

who poisoned Judge Abbott.
Solve Abbott, solve Bro-Nancy.

Well, I loosened it for you.

You and me... We're
going to Logan's house.

Great. George and I'll check
on Abbott, see if he's talking.

NANCY: And, hey, Bess, you're gonna
cook the hell out of this meal.

- You got this.
- Mm.

Hey.

You got the EMTs there quickly.

He's lucky you were with him.

Yeah, I just...

I just want him to be okay.

You know, I know Judge
Abbott was hard on me...

Probably on everyone...
But he really cares.

I mean, I don't... I...

He gave me a clerkship and
I'm not even in law school.

This whole lawyer dream
feels doable because of him.

I never got to tell him how
much I appreciate everything.

You will.

Okay, talk to me
about something else.

How was your date with Jade?

Oh, no, we don't need to...

Did you spark with her?

Their pronouns are they/them.

I-I don't even know if
it counts as a date.

It felt like...

PR coaching.

Mm-hmm. Were you disappointed?

Disappointed I lost my hat.

I left it at the café.

Not sure I'd call that a loss.

I'm sorry, Judge Abbott was
just admitted to surgery.

He can't see you now,
but here's the number

for the nurse's station.

- NANCY: Logan Rhodes.
- ACE: Do you drink

- all that in one day?
- Three times.

Yeah, the motivational
markers help.

I got a whole selection
of 'em in my gym.

You lift?
- I can get you a guest pass. - Okay,

back to Judge Abbott.

We think someone caused
his heart attack.

Think someone came after him.

- Oh, that's awful.
- Before Abbott lost

consciousness, he tried to
rip up a file containing

a summary of your trial.

Wait, you don't think I did it.

That was over 20 years
ago. And it was nothing.

I broke into a house
on a dare. Judge Abbott

knew I came from a
hardworking family,

he could tell I was a good kid,
and he dismissed the charges.

I was so grateful I even
brought him a thank-you gift.

Okay, we get it.

You're, like, in
love with Abbott.

But judges aren't
allowed to accept gifts.

Well, it wasn't expensive.

And you never
crossed paths again?

Not even at Magpie Lake?

Uh, Magpie Lake isn't a lake.

She's a girl. The one
whose house I broke into.

Margaret Pyne Lake.
She went by Maggie,

so we called her
Magpie. Magpie Lake.

Margaret Pyne...

is this the same
Margaret Pyne Lake

who, um, fell and
almost died in '96?

Uh, yeah. A few weeks
after my trial ended,

she hit her head. It
was a freak accident.

Was it? An accident?

- What are you implying?
- She's the reason you almost

went to jail. You must've
been pretty upset.

Why? I didn't go to jail.

- It all went away.
- Because Abbott thought

you were a really good kid.

Did you prove him wrong?

We should go. We'll go.

- I'm not done here.
- Go.

But you can wait in the car.

We are done. My daughters

will be home soon, so...

Have a good one.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Me? Look, do you want
to solve the case

or do you just want to
antagonize that guy?

I need to know what
happened in 1996

so I can figure out who
would come after Abbott now.

That is how you conduct
an investigation.

You just accused Logan
without evidence.

You're not yourself right now.

- I'm trying...
- To control me?

You cannot take it if I
don't want to do things

the way that you want to do
things, so you keep pushing.

- You never leave anything alone.
- Is this you talking?

- Is it the poisoned water?
- Find your own ride home.

Ace sent you to babysit me?

Dude's been so dramatic all day.

You abandoned him at Logan's.

Abandoned? He was
slowing me down.

Do you really think
Logan hurt Maggie?

I think we need to figure out

if Maggie's fall was
really an accident.

WOMAN: Logan asked me out

a few times in high school.

But he wasn't my type.

A few times? Sounds needy.

My friends told me
to be flattered.

He broke into your house.

That's not flattering,
it's creepy, right?

It was a goof.

My accident put everything
into perspective.

Okay, do you mind telling
us about that, please?

I'd had a few drinks at a party

and decided to walk home alone.

Not the smartest move.

I tripped and hit
my head on the curb.

I changed my life with one
misstep, and I did it to myself.

What I put my parents through...
They still help support me.

I get such terrible migraines
I can only teach part-time.

NANCY: There was one of
these in Abbott's office.

You collect horse statuettes?

[chuckles] Since I
was a little kid.

I was so grateful I even
brought him a thank-you gift.

Did any of them disappear

the night Logan
broke into your home?

Where did you find that?

Sorry, what was that?

Just trying to have it
all and... succeeding.

NANCY: George and I
went to Abbott's office

and liberated that bad boy. We
think Logan stole it from Maggie

when he broke into her house
and then gave it to Abbott

- as a thank-you gift.
- Maybe some kind of power play?

Logan seems sus.

But he has no motive
to poison Abbott.

Abbott gave him a free pass.

Exactly, so, if
Logan hurt Maggie,

as I suspect, Abbott could've
prevented the attack.

But Abbott let Logan walk.

This is what
happens when men let

their emotions make
their decisions for them.

But Judge Abbott? I
really thought that

he was above all this
old boys' club crap.

Do you think Maggie or someone
close to her came after Abbott?

But Maggie said that she
was alone when she fell.

- That it was an accident.
- NANCY: Well, she's

wrong. Abbott was poisoned,

and it has something
to do with this trial.

Otherwise he wouldn't
try and destroy the file.

We need Maggie's medical records

to figure out what
actually happened to her.

Ace, hey, you're up.

Go to the records room,
get us what we need.

- Physically?
- I'm a hacker. I get it done with my fingers.

Don't tempt me.

Look, it has to be you,

you've got the
morgue credentials,

which you still have because

- I got you out of jail.
- Yeah, for something

- that I didn't do.
- Come on.

Be a team player.

Show us you're more
than just eye candy.

Wow.

Hey. Um, yes, actually,
I was just wondering...

Is he flirting with her?

Are you... being possessive?

[Ace clears throat]

These all validate
Maggie's story.

See, the shape of
her head wound is

consistent with hitting a curb.

This can't be right. Did
you get all her files?

Yes. X-rays,
photos, blood tests.

They even sent her records

to a head trauma
specialist in Bangor.

There's no medical reason to
believe that Logan hurt Maggie.

What, you flirt with one
nurse, and then all of a sudden

you're a medical
expert? [chuckles]

I'm kidding.

As if I care who you flirt
with. Also, you had no shot.

What, you can't
take a joke now?!

Okay, no.

N-No, no, no, n...
That's it, enough.

No more sad truffle shaving.

Talk to me, please, now.

Okay.

For weeks, Nancy's been
pushing me away. She said

it's because she cared about me.

That she had to. She was
protecting me from a curse.

But today, she's
treating me like I'm...

Yeah, like an object.
A piece of meat.

A big old flank steak.

And I know it's not
her fault she's, like,

she's not herself.
She's been poisoned.

She can't even see
that she's being awful.

- But it still...
- Hurts.

She's hurting you.

You know, you don't
need to make excuses.

Your feelings are valid.

Whatever toxic bro-ness
is affecting Nancy,

we will solve the case,

find an antidote, and
get her back to normal.

Well, we're already keeping
our distance from each other.

I'll just make it more distance.

Just put on the armor.
Hope I don't run into her.

Okay.

Keep an eye on dinner.

I am gonna back to
the historical society

and research a way to
alleviate the poison.

There must be something
that we can do.

Okay, hold tight,

stir the sauce, please.

And I'll be back soon.

- Okay.
- Okay? I appreciate you.

Appreciate you.

But keep an eye out for lumps.

- No lumps.
- No lumps.

Ace.

I'm sorry.

I've been horrible.

You're a great
guy. The best guy.

I need you in my life.

How can I make us okay?

Let's not do this
right now, okay?

You were right earlier.

I haven't told you everything.

But I will.

I'll tell you all about the time

we did get together.

No. I'm done.

Are you rejecting me?

I'm not rejecting
you. I mean...

- Hey!
- [grunting]

Hey.

[grunts, groans]

- Hey!
- [thudding]

Dial Bess, please.
Bess, please.

Clear-i-tea. A mild,

mystical sedative.

It won't undo the
poison but it should

give you some, well, clarity.

- Temporarily, at least.
- What, like I'm a lightweight?

There she goes.

Did it work? Is she all right?

[gasps]

Ace, I'm so sorry
that I attacked you.

I should be feeling remorse.

And I want to...

but it is not there.

The tea is working. It's
allowing her to have

a removed perspective on
what she's going through.

What are you going through?

For weeks, I've had
all these complicated,

painful th... things
that I feel for you.

That anguish of not
getting to be with you.

Fear that I'll get you killed.

The guilt that follows. And
then I got hit with this...

water, and it's like all those
feelings are locked away.

I can't get to
them, and all I feel

is this anger.

Shuts down everything else.

GEORGE: So, basically,
it's like what could happen

if you'd been raised
to be masculine

- with a capital M.
- Hence dealing with pain

by acting tough and aggressive.

Responding to a "no" by trying

to assert your
dominance over Ace.

- That's how it felt.
- [phone vibrates]

[Bess chuckles]

- You are never gonna guess.
- Hmm?

Ryan found a supernatural
stomach pump.

- Oh...
- Yup, never would've guessed that.

BESS: Wow, yeah, he's been
doing relic recon on the Glasses

since they stole my
shipment of artifacts,

and they have an occult
purification device.

We can use it to
remove the effects

of the tainted water from Nancy.

Well, uncuff me.

Got to go get my hands on that
hot lobster guy's family relic.

Sorry. The tea is wearing off.

Nancy. George. Handcuffs.

I caught a case of toxic
gender-swapped masculinity.

Long story. I'll try not
to say anything degrading,

like how good your arms
look in that shirt.

- Hey.
- Sorry.

But you should be flattered.

Anyway, the only way to
get this toxicity out of me

is with a supernatural stomach
pump your parents have.

I don't mess with their relics.
I prefer the simple sea life.

NANCY: Which is why
you need your boat.

The one that got
impounded because of me.

I get why you don't
want to help me again.

And I'm gonna get your
boat back. Either way.

You're asking me to break
into my parents' stash.

If I do that, I need assurance

to make sure I get this
stomach thing back.

- So they don't notice it.
- We've learned our lesson

offering collateral
to the Glasses.

What did my parents
do? Don't answer.

But I'm not like them.

I believe you. And
that's not just

because you're the
only option here.

You want some assurance?

Here, take this.

It's very important to me.

We good?

You ready to say
goodbye to toxicity?

- Um, don't really feel like I'm that tox...
- Shush.

[grunting]

GEORGE: Okay. Just
a moment. Good?

- Yeah.
- There you go.

[pump hissing]

[grunting]

Hey, you got this, Nancy.
It's gonna be okay.

BESS: Okay...

Are you okay?

- Oh!
- Whoa!

Oh, my God!

NICK: What did you eat?

Yeah.

Just an overwhelming
amount of emotion

flooding back at once.

Everything that was being
suppressed by Abbott's water.

I'm so sorry.

It's fine.

Probably just come out
with seltzer water.

[scoffs] My dinner is doomed.

We've seen this before.

NICK: It's the same
sludge that came out of

the eight reanimated
corpses before they...

- crumbled into a heap.
- Wait, what does this have to do

with Judge Abbott
being poisoned?

There's more going on
here than we realize.

[scoffs]

Things weren't adding up,

so I hacked into Maggie's
medical records from 1996,

ones that were sent to
a head trauma specialist

in Bangor for a
phone consultation.

I compared the photos
in the Bangor files

with the ones from Palley
General right here in town.

Now, these photos
should be identical.

They have the same timestamp.

But the wounds look different.

This has two gashes.

A curb wouldn't
leave these marks.

Based on those lacerations,

it looks like Maggie
was hit with an object.

GEORGE: I'm still not a
doctor, but those lacerations

fit the shape of that horse.

Which would confirm
Nancy's theory

that Logan attacked Maggie.

If that's the case,
someone not only altered

Maggie's medical records
in Horseshoe Bay,

they changed her actual memory.

We've seen memory
erasing before.

Logan was so forthcoming
about Maggie's accident.

It's like he didn't even
know he had anything to hide.

You think his memories
were altered, too?

Wait, but what about Abbott?
He suddenly cares about

something that
happened 20 years ago?

After drinking
supernaturally tainted water.

If Abbott's memories of
the attack were altered,

then drinking the water
must have restored them.

A memory so upsetting it
triggered a heart attack.

Okay, say the water
did that to Abbott.

Why did it turn Nancy into
a ticking toxic rage bomb?

NANCY: When I attacked Ace,

I wasn't just
trying to hurt him,

I was compelled to
hit him in the head.

And I used that horse. That
can't be a coincidence.

Something in the water
made you want to relive

- Logan's attack on Maggie?
- More like Logan's mindset

and emotions of the crime
mystically latched onto me.

Like when I absorbed the
lust from the wedding dress.

[short chuckle]
Yeah, but less fun.

Did someone want Abbott
to remember what happened?

Spiked his water?

NANCY: If you're gonna
spike anybody's water,

why not spike Logan's?

All Abbott did was make
a horrible judgment call

on the case of a teenage boy

breaking into his crush's
house. That's a small case.

Could be it wasn't
so small for Abbott.

He was up for reappointment
at the time he gave Logan

his "boys will be boys"
pass for the break-in.

That is all kinds
of disappointing.

ACE: So, because
Logan wasn't in jail

he was able to go
assault Maggie.

NICK: If that's true,
Logan could have gone back

to Abbott to ask for help.
Stay out of jail again.

Did Abbott try to
make all this go away

to protect his
reputation and his job?

BESS: Could Abbott and
Logan have pulled off

some kind of massive
supernatural coverup?

How? And what
does it have to do

with the eight
re-animated bodies

and the sludge they released?

Uh, and why is this
coverup coming undone now?

Hey, it's-it's just a little bit

- of a mishap.
- You know, usually

I love British
understatement, but,

wow, I knew I should
have called off dinner.

You were gonna call off
dinner before all of this?

You never wanted me to
meet your parents, did you?

Fine. You're
right. You got me.

Why? 'Cause I'm the
soup? And you just

- knew... you knew that they were gonna hate me.
- No, no!

It's because I didn't want
them to ruin what we have.

My parents are not
just particular.

They're involved.
In everything I do

and-and everyone I date.

It... Look, they will call you

and they will text
you and they will

judge you.

Look, the problem is I...

I really like you, Bess.

And I'm terrified

that they're gonna
scare you off.

[chuckling, sniffling]
Have you seen me?

I don't scare.

Easily. Okay?

I say bring them on.

They're gonna love me.

And if they don't?

Well, I'm not going anywhere.

Okay? This dinner
is happening.

Okay?

We're here to apologize.

Brought a little
something for the girls.

Yeah, come in.

I'm still trying to figure
out why you let Logan walk

after he broke into
Maggie's house.

I thought he was just a
boy with a crush. Harmless.

Even if you believed that at
the time, a few weeks later

you found out that wasn't true.

GEORGE: You told me to stay
away from Maggie because

you didn't want me to
figure out what you did.

But we know
everything. We know...

NANCY: You followed
Maggie home

with the horse you
stole from her.

Maggie, s-stop.

Enough. Leave me alone.

NANCY: When she
turned you down again,

you snapped and
nearly killed her.

This isn't an apology. This
is an absurd accusation.

- You need to go.
- You don't remember

attacking her, but you
know you're capable of it.

Oh, I know what this is.

Yeah, you're trying
to cancel me.

You're one of those people
that manufactures reasons

to destroy innocent men.

You know how it felt
when Maggie rejected you.

- It was humiliating.
- I have daughters.

- I...
- NANCY: You want to protect them?

From whom... men like you?

Is that why you lift? So
you can beat up any guy

who won't take no for an answer?

Hey, I-I'm sorry,

I really thought that
she was gonna apologize.

She brought these stickers
and everything. I'll get her

out of your hair.
Let's go, come on.

NICK: There must have been

some other reason
that you helped him.

Please, tell me there
was a gun to your head

or-or that your
family was threatened.

I... I-I've made some mistakes

in my career that
I'm not proud of.

Mistake?

This was more than a mistake.

Logan came to you with
the weapon from the crime

and asked for your help.

Wait here.

You covered up an
attempted murder

- to ensure that you'd get reappointed.
- You don't know

what it's like to have
to decide between...

My prospects and
doing the right thing?

Judge Abbott, you

were my prospect of
becoming a lawyer,

but I am giving all
of that up right now

to get justice for Maggie,
because that is what matters.

You're a judge. How-how
do you not know that?

Maggie spent the last 20 years

suffering from what
Logan did to her

and blaming herself
for what happened,

while you and Logan lived
normal, healthy lives.

You remember now?

What you did to
Maggie that night?

You'll never be
able to prove that.

Nobody will believe you.

Tell us how you changed
the hospital photo.

No, I didn't. It
was all Abbott.

Abbott knew how to do it.

I didn't remember what the
horse statue really was.

- I-I thought it was a gift.
- Until today, when you drank the water

- and the memories came back.
- How did you cover it all up

- in the first place, hmm?
- Leave this alone, George.

I am no longer interested
in your advice.

I will figure out
how you did this

- and I will expose you.
- I'm warning you.

If you pull this thread,

everything will fall apart.

GEORGE: Logan's behavior should've
been stopped before it escalated.

This was not your fault.

You deserve to know the truth.

But if Logan attacked
me, why do I have

a distinctly different memory?

And why were my medical records

changed in Horseshoe
Bay but not Bangor?

I really wish we could
answer that right now.

We're getting closer
to figuring out

how Abbott and Logan did
this, and I promise we will.

This is a lot to take in.

But you were right to tell me.

Thank you.

Should we load the
trays by courses?

They're here.

[whimpers]

- We've got this.
- Yeah.

- Okay.
- [knocking]

Come in.

Mr. and Mrs. Soctomah,

it is such a pleasure
to meet you guys.

[weak chuckle]

Hey.

I made some calls.

The Jolenehas been sprung.

Pleasure doing
business with you.

Mm.

It's a beautiful necklace.

Oh, thanks.

The locket was my mom's.

I've worn it every
day since she passed.

And the compass was
my birth mother's.

It's all I have of her.

I was adopted, too.

So, thanks for
trusting me with these.

Can I help? My arms don't
just look good in a shirt,

they actually have
excellent fine motor skills.

Mm.

Thanks.

You and your arms

have a great night.

[chuckles]

GEORGE: Thanks for
being there today.

I just wish I could
have done more.

People like Abbott have enabled
the Logans of this world

to go unchecked forever.

Today, you checked him.

And the best part is

it is so clear you're
gonna keep doing it.

That means more than you know.

So... [short chuckle]

can I help you with Jade?

Oh...

What are you actually
looking for here?

Be honest. PR coaching?
A date? A hook-up?

[sighs]

A conversation.

I want to get to know them.

In a real way.

[bell jingles]

Here's your chance.

[chuckles]

My hat found a publicist.

Oh. Is it trending now, or...

I was heavy on the
shop talk, huh?

Talking about work is my crutch.

I lean on it when I get nervous.

Hmm.

Do all your networking meetings

make you nervous, or...

Wow, was I that bad

that you couldn't even
tell it was a date?

Okay, that's... good feedback.

No, no, I-I... I
obviously knew it was a...

[clears throat] ...a date, uh,
not-not even a question, so...

Hm, bad at lying.

That's the opposite
of a red flag.

[chuckles]

So, um, what are
you doing right now?

Going on a...

date-date.

I hope.

Okay.

[knocking]

Apology bagels?

With a side of pickles.

Tough crowd.

Here's what it is:

I was afraid of my
feelings for you.

And then I experienced
what it was like

to have those feelings

locked up, out of my reach.

I became so
frustrated and angry.

I couldn't be myself. I
turned into a monster.

And I never want to
feel like that again.

And no one should ever
have to feel like that.

So...

I'm ready to tell you how
I know about the curse.

We spent

days together.

The most amazing days.

And then it was all taken away.

And you died in my arms.

That's a terrible,

terrible hallucination.

It didn't feel like
a hallucination.

It felt so real.

I'm sorry.

I was only thinking about
this from my perspective.

- I know.
- I got frustrated,

I even got... I got angry

when you wouldn't tell
me what I wanted to hear.

Well, I tried to
kill you earlier

for rejecting me, so...

let's call it even.

I'm still terrified
of losing you.

But I think that we
owe it to ourselves

to at least try

to find a way to be together.

Yeah.

Yes, that's all I want.

Can you tell me,
like, some good things

- from this hallucination?
- Mm...

So that I m-I might know what
I have to look forward to.

What do you want to know?

Well, everything.

We went for a walk.

That's how it started.

♪ ♪

[bell jingles]

Hey, George. Got your text.

- What's going on?
- I just can't stop

thinking about what Abbott said.

What thread are we pulling?

What is going to fall
apart? It doesn't feel like

the coverup ends with him.

It feels much bigger than that.

And then I remember
how it started.

How Abbott took one drink.

And then how the eight
corpses released the sludge

not far from the town
reservoir, and...

WAITRESS: Can I get
you some more water?

Um... Nick,

I think there's
something in the water.
