(birds squawking)

AVERY: Hey, Jesse and Birdie,

wannabe Harriet Potters.

You two fake witches
want to explain

why you dragged me out here?

We're doing a ritual to
make a doll come to life,

so you stop calling us
fake witches and apologize.

Yeah, this is even
better than Birdie

talking about the "fire souls"

and her "haunted shipwreck"
on Moonstone Island.

I can't wait for everyone

to see you make complete
fools of yourselves.

Or for us to prove on video

that the supernatural exists.

Right. (snickers)

Found it. (clears throat)

(speaking arcane language)

(laughing)

- (thunder booming)
- (birds shrieking)

(continues speaking
arcane language)

Hey.

Hey, are you okay?

Yeah.

JESSE: Avery?

Hey, jerk. You okay?

(bones cracking)

- (growls)
- (gasping)

(demonic voice):
Your souls are mine!

(screaming)

(roaring)

NANCY: Nancy Drew
Investigations.

Nancy! We need help!

? ?

NANCY: Last step...

If Temperance's curse
has been lifted,

then the wax should
form a hexagram.

I got nothing-gram.

Trial 36, fail.

Heard anything from Bess yet?

No, nothing yet.

I know it seems impossible,

but has the impossible
ever stopped us?

It's a good point.

I still remember seeing you

in high school,

working on that lycopodium
powder, the volcano.

I was a senior, you
were a sophomore.

And you refused to quit

until that thing erupted
in actual flames.

I didn't realize I was on
your radar in high school.

You stood out.

Are you still scared?

Yeah.

Having you here
helps. You scared?

I should be. I'm cursed.

But of all the times
we have faced death,

I have never...

been more excited

to keep living.

(computer beeps)

Okay, my algorithm
found something.

You ever heard of
a Plagonnia doll?

No, but I've seen a
doll just like that one

in Darlene Fowler's house.

Mm.

Fun way to start the day.

(sighs) The upside

of being an empty-nester.

- No one to walk in on us.
- Oh.

(chuckles)

- Mm.
- (machine beeping)

Coffee's ready. Just in time.

(chuckles)

Don't use those.

These are the only
cups that are in there,

and in fact, this one's
actually chipped a little bit.

- Just... needs some glue.
- Yeah, no. No, no, no.

No, it doesn't need to be fixed.

These cups are antiques
from Kate's tea set.

Oh, uh...

I'm sorry.

I-I didn't know.

No need to apologize.

You never really
talk about Kate.

(sighs) Well, we just did.

We good?

Yeah. Yeah.

I think I'm gonna head out.

I'll grab a coffee on
the way to the office.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Nice of Darlene to
text us from the beach.

Here is her spare key.

According to Darlene, the
demon housed inside the doll

is strong enough to act as
a supernatural battery pack,

able to power a ritual
with extra force.

Unfortunately, she does not
know which ritual that would be.

Well, we defeated a
kitchen demon before.

I mean, I think we
can figure this out.

Oh! One more thing.

The box acts as a
stabilizing force.

Uh, it protects the
doll's demonic energy

from seeping out, so we
need to keep the doll

inside the box until
we're ready to use it.

Did Darlene say anything
about what happens

to the demon if...

when we are successful?

Demon stays inside the doll,

unless we intentionally
raise it out, which...

we won't.

Rock and roll.

Hi, welcome to the
Historical Society.

My name is Bess Marvin. I'll
be your tour guide today.

First, um, I would like to
start off with a short video

about the historical
importance of the lighthouse.

NARRATOR: Maine's lighthouses
have been a beacon

to weary sea travelers
for centuries...

What's with the school group?

My funding is on
the chopping block,

so I decided to
start giving tours.

But, see that dad
over there? Aaron?

He just took over the
PTA, he's a history buff

and a huge town booster.

He's already emailed
me about donating.

Anyway. Um...

So, I got a ping from the
Athens G.O.S.H. chapter.

My contact knows of
a complicated ritual

that the Ancient
Greeks once practiced

to break a love curse.

How did they get the magical
battery power to do it?

The Plagonnia doll.

We've got the doll, so how
complicated could it be?

Well, it's a multi-step process.

First, you have to inoculate
the member of the couple

who is cursed to die, so that
they can survive the ritual.

You'd have to, you know,
get a Nancy antigen.

A Nantigen. (laughing)

Yeah, don't mind me, just
spitting gold over here.

Once he's inoculated, then what?

Then, you drink a herbal elixir

made of plants and
herbs that are extinct.

Could there be
modern substitutes?

I'll look into it.

After drinking the elixir,

then you'd have to
trigger the curse

by acting on your feelings.

Well, she's right.

I mean, that made the
curse manifest before.

Think about my barometer.

- Strong feelings.
- Mm-hmm.

So, while you're looking
into herbal substitutions,

how do we find an inoculation?

(clicks tongue)

Inoculation supplies, I have.

I remember reading it
in Hannah's ledger.

An ancient inoculation kit

used for mystical
rituals of protection.

Nancy will make a
paste with these

and paint a sigil on you.

Use this paintbrush
to avoid touching.

Okay, there is only enough
to make one Nantigen.

It has to be done at dusk,
and its protection power

only lasts 24 hours.

Okay?

- Okay.
- Okay, well, we'll trade

one ancient inoculation kit
for one ancient demon doll.

I'm gonna take that, too.

Are you leaving me here
with the demon doll?

It's the archive room. Safer
than lugging it around.

NANCY: Darlene said it's safe
as long as it's inside the box.

Hide it in here while
we make the Nantigen.

(chuckles)

Rolls off the
tongue, doesn't it?

- Hey, Bess?
- Yeah?

Um... can I talk to you
about Moonstone Island?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
What do you want to talk about?

Everything.

When I mention the fire
souls to my grandma,

she shuts me down.

And my class thinks that I
invented the whole thing.

The only one who
believes me is Jesse.

I am so sorry you're
going through that.

- How can I help?
- You saw the fire souls.

Can you tell everyone
they're real?

(door opens)

Mm, what are you doing here

with your beach
curls and blazer?

We haven't hung out much lately,

and you said you
needed a chaperone.

Be real.

You're here because
you've hit peak anxiety

waiting to hear about clerkships

now that you stopped
working for Judge Abbott.

Okay, I wouldn't say "peak,"
but when do you think

is a good time to follow up?

- Hey.
- Aw!

You two are in the
holding-hands-in-public stage?

That is so cute!

(chuckles) She is not cute.

She's a psycho.
She was begging

the tour guide to
talk about ghosts.

Stop trying to make the
supernatural happen.

- (laughing): Freak.
- I'm sorry.

What did you say about
my sister's girlfriend?

- You want to repeat that?
- Do we have a problem here?

They're talking about the
supernatural again, Dad.

It's making me uncomfortable.

You can just ignore it,
they're doing it for attention.

No, we're not. The
supernatural exists.

We do the blood bucket ritual
at the Seawater Festival.

Kids make dreamcatchers
with sand from Piper Beach

at the town carnival
to ward off spirits.

And Santa Claus is real,

and the tooth fairy
married the bogeyman.

Those are silly gimmicks
to drum up tourism.

Ms. Marvin knows I'm right.

Um... those rituals

are rooted in...

superstition.

And town tradition.

And that's it.

Way to defend us.

Wait, Jesse...

Hey.

Look, Avery sucks.

You're, like, a million
times stronger than him.

Thanks.

(chuckles)

So, what are they
doing here anyway?

Well, this is where they
keep the good stuff.

(chuckles)

- Ooh...
- (laughing)

Boo.

If Avery could actually
witness the supernatural,

maybe he'd stop
being such a bully,

and see that we're not just
doing it for attention.

Let's show him it's real, then.

I've seen George
do rituals before.

Maybe there's an
easy recipe in here.

- Whoa.
- Weird.

Um, this section is
about raising an object

off the ground.

You recite this chant
while being surrounded

by ambers and arbor.

We can make a fire in the woods

and use this doll as a test.

Okay.

Let's prove we're
right once and for all.

Easy, just tell 'em the water's
supernaturally contaminated.

With this group?

No, it needs more
finesse than that.

Okay, fine, tell them you
need to test the water

because of the tsunami.

We don't want people to panic.

We don't even know if the
sludge in Abbott's water

will show up in water tests,
and so far, town council,

not very interested in
what the town has to say.

Okay, anyone else with concerns

about the elementary
school repairs?

Uh, I have a broader concern.

It affects the schools,
but, but also...

all of us.

Uh, studies have shown that
in the aftermath of tsunamis,

local water supply can be
compromised for months,

- sometimes even years.
- He's right!

And we all know that was
not a normal tsunami.

The whole thing's unnatural.

You know why?

There's people amongst us
who made that tsunami happen.

Purposefully!

People practicing the occult.

Yeah, and then they're stealing
bodies from the graves.

Uh, let's just
stay on topic here.

Oh, no, no, no. No, they
need them for their rituals.

They're gonna kill us all.

- (audience clamoring)
- Look, look, look, look, look.

Look, I'm just as
worried as you are.

But... conspiracy
theories won't help us.

It's logical to look for someone

or something to blame.

But... (sighs) In our
attempt to find answers,

let's not do more damage.

Let's-let's work together
to find solutions

and take action...
real action...

To keep us all safe.

(people murmuring agreement)

This guy's good.

I think he should be up
there representing us.

He's the real deal.

Hear, hear!

- Great idea, Fred.
- FRED: Yeah.

Nick, if you're so inclined,
we'd love to have you sit in

on one of our private
council meetings

as a representative of
Horseshoe Bay small businesses.

- Oh, no, I don't...
- He's in!

- (Nick clears throat)
- He'd be happy to do it.

BRIE: Excellent.

You still nervous?

I am. Are you?

Yeah.

We need a vibe change.

Where's the first
place you want to go

when we break the curse?

My parents honeymooned in Paris.

There's this beautiful sketch
of them watching the sunset

on the Pont des Artes Bridge.

I always wanted to
recreate that with someone.

What about you?

I would watch the
sunrise with you...

from a hot air balloon
over Cappadocia.

I always thought that
sounded like a fun adventure.

(phone buzzing)

- Nancy Drew Investigations.
- BIRDIE: Nancy!

- We need help.
- NANCY: Whoa.

Slow down.

I didn't even get to finish
reading the incantation

before things got crazy.

Maybe that's why Avery
got messed up and ran off.

Babe, he was messed up long
before we did anything.

Jesse, you could have
killed yourselves.

And now, Avery's possessed
by a demonic doll spirit.

He's a jerk anyway.

We have to find Avery
before he hurts someone.

BESS: 'Kay, it sounds
like we're dealing

with a Thenellis demon,

an extremely powerful entity

that can only be contained
inside inanimate objects,

like our Plagonnia doll.

If this demon is released,

it will possess its
nearest human host...

In this case, Avery.

But it's only a matter
of time before the demon

kills its host or hosts.

Uh, the Thenellis has been known

to jump to multiple hosts

at one time.

Oh, no, you would know if
the girls were possessed.

This, uh, demon isn't subtle
in its manifestations.

Okay, so we need to exorcise
the demon out of Avery,

put it back into the doll in
order to break our love curse.

I did read about this potion

that can attract the
demonically possessed.

I can just figure out how to
make it and then lure Avery

to the Historical
Society for an exorcism.

You do still have
the doll, right?

Yeah, I can bring it to
the Historical Society.

I'm really sorry.

It's okay. We're gonna fix it.

We just don't have
a lot of time.

- Can I ask you something?
- Yeah.

You obviously know the
supernatural exists.

Why did you lie earlier?

- Um...
- (alarm sounding)

Okay, go, go.

Go do the Nantigen ritual now.

I just feel kinda weird leaving

when there's a
demonically possessed kid

on his way over here.

No, no, no, we're in
the hour of Hesperis.

- It won't work after Dysis.
- Come again?

Hesperis... ancient Greek
term for start of the evening.

Dysis... ancient
Greek term for sunset.

Translation... go get your
seven minutes in heaven on,

- you crazy kids.
- Thank you.

When did you first know
you had feelings for me?

Was it that day
in the warehouse?

Before DetectiveCon?

Earlier.

Uh, after we
defeated the Wraith.

You had been there
for me so many times,

but that one was...

(chuckles) You know,
I went to your house

that day.

I had this whole
awkward speech prepared.

But when I got there,
you'd already...

you'd left to go on that
road trip with Amanda.

God, I was jealous of Amanda.

I was jealous of Gil.

And Park.

How about you?
When did you know?

Was it after you drank
Karen's fake poison for me?

Earlier.

The day you made
the volcano erupt.

- That long?
- That long.

Take your shirt off.

I have to paint
the sigil on you.

Okay.

(sizzling)

I think that means it's working.

Is it hurting you?

I can manage.

It's like a Nancy scar.

BESS: Ace, Nancy, come quick!

(growling)

Look at his eyes.

They're red like
when he attacked us.

(laughs)

- I'll protect the doll!
- I'll start the exorcism.

Hurry!

- Nick?
- I can't see anything!

- I can't read!
- (coughing)

ACE: Where'd Avery go?

Is everyone okay?

(gasping)

Where are Jesse and Birdie?

- Birdie?
- Jesse?

Okay, if the
Thenellis has jumped

to Birdie and Jesse,
we only have minutes.

All accounts of the Thenellis
entering multiple hosts

do not have favorable outcomes.

So, you're telling
me we have minutes

to find and exorcise my sister
before we lose her forever?

- George, we'll find her.
- This was all my fault.

I was with them at the
Historical Society.

No, this is all my fault.

I was with them, too. I
should have been honest

with Birdie about
the supernatural.

I could have... I
could have taught her,

warned her about the dangers.

Bess, we're the ones

who brought a demon doll
to the school field trip.

Hey, nobody loves blaming
themself more than I do,

but we have minutes.

There.

- Jesse!
- George, no!

- Wait!
- No, we're gonna lose them.

We have to start
the exorcism now.

We besiege this dark energy
to be rendered inert.

Banish all diabolic
power and machination.

Keep going, keep
going, it's working.

Uh, Nancy, the doll.

What about the doll?
What's happening to it?

The doll can't handle the demon
being forced back inside it.

It's going to explode
if we carry on.

You're not gonna
be able to use it.

There's no decision to be made.

There is not.

Halt to all evil influence,
malefice, or evil eye,

and all evil actions aimed
against Birdie, Avery,

and Jesse, and send it
back into the Plagonnia.

Run.

(thud)

BESS: Oh, my God!

Oh, my God, Jesse.

Hey. You okay?

Come here, come here.

The demon, where is it?

The exorcism vanquished
it. It's gone.

So is the doll that was
gonna break our curse.

So, you two have
destroyed doll ashes,

no battery, and eight-ish hours

until Ace's Nantigen
protection expires.

And there aren't enough supplies
to make another Nantigen.

Plagonnia doll survived natural
disasters for centuries,

but it couldn't make it through
one five-minute exorcism?

Everything dies eventually.

Plagonnia. Plagonnia.

- Yeah, you said that.
- It's plural.

Do you speak Greek, or...?

NANCY: I read a fundamentals
book in middle school.

"Plagonnia" is plural
for "Plagonnos."

So, that means there
must be others?

The demon doll was
a Plagonnos doll,

one in a set of two.

Its twin doll would have
been made at the same time

as the demonic Plagonnos

to store the light energy
left over from its creation.

The ancient Greeks had no idea

what to do with
the light energy.

They thought it
was just a waste.

But what if...

what if love and positive energy

are just as powerful
as dark energy?

Typical... no one cares
about the good energy doll

because it can't be used
for chaos and destruction.

So now we just got to figure out

where the good
Plagonnia doll is.

And then use it to break
Temperance's love curse.

I'm on it. Scanning
the dark web

and Shodan for other
light energy dolls.

Several in the U.S.

Nearest one's Madbury,
New Hampshire.

It's at an antique store
called Wolovnick's Curiosities.

That's a couple hours' drive.

And I have also been working
on the extinct plants and herbs

for the second
part of the ritual.

Due to cross-pollination,
the descendants

are alive and thriving.

These plants
evolved into species

- I can find fairly easily.
- Send me a shopping list.

I'll see if I can
track 'em down as well.

You two go find that doll and
we'll hold down the fort here.

And we'll have everything
ready by the time you get back.

(door opens, entry bell jingles)

Oh, hi, Dad! Bye, Dad.

I thought you were
working today.

I can't talk, I'm
late for a... a thing.

Just really... Just
really important.

(door opens, entry bell jingles)

- (both laugh)
- (door closes)

I want to apologize to you.

I'm really sorry.

I totally overreacted
to that teacup.

I appreciate the apology.

Okay, good.

But are you sure that
you're ready for this?

- For us?
- Of course.

You're going through a
process... A grieving process.

I don't know that that's true.

Were you not upset that the
teacup I used was Kate's?

- Yes, but...
- And it's been about a year

since Kate's death.

- Almost.
- Is it not possible

that you are dealing
with unprocessed grief?

- I...
- WAITRESS: Here you go.

- Thank you.
- Thanks.

Look, I don't think this is
the most appropriate place

to be having this conversation,

and I don't like being
questioned like I'm on trial.

All I'm saying is that you're
going to have to process

this grief now... or later.

(phone buzzing)

- Sorry.
- Mm-hmm.

I'm getting 911 texts
from the office.

Some guy is accusing
the Historical Society

of child endangerment.

I have to go.

- We'll talk later.
- Yeah.

- Yeah. Bye.
- Okay.

(door opens, entry bell jingles)

(sighs)

Okay, I think we have everything
but the Franklin tea flowers,

which Lily is working on
finding in her extensive garden.

How's Jesse doing?

She's fine, physically.

She still doesn't seem to get
how dangerous what she did was.

I need her to understand

that using the
supernatural is serious.

You can't just use a ritual
to get back at a bully.

I'm really worried
she might do it again.

Could you talk to her?

- She listens to you.
- Of course.

Thanks.

Speaking of Jesse,
she actually told me

that you're blowing up
on social media again.

In our attempt to find answers,
let's not do more damage.

Huh, kind of rude of them

to not even ask me if
they could put it up.

Hey, you're a local celebrity.

Really, you're inspiring people.

That's why Brie asked you to
sit on their private meetings.

I forgot!

Oh, that council meeting
starts in ten minutes.

- (phone buzzing) - Oh, I...
I don't want to leave you

- with all the work.
- You're good.

Oh! Lily has the Franklin
tea flowers on hand.

Great. I'll pick
up the flowers

from Lily's shop
on the way back.

- Cool.
- Right? Cool.

Yeah.

Ace, is the coast
still clear back there?

Keep watching. This
lock's really making me

work for it.

Ace? Ace, where are you?

ACE: Let's get out of here.

What? No. No, I'm
not gonna give up.

You don't have to.

Back door was
unlocked, wide open.

I don't know, maybe this love
energy doll is helping us.

Or the owner forgot
to lock the door.

But either way, I
think the universe

wants this to happen,
wouldn't you say?

Mm-hmm. Who are we
to deny the universe?

Let's go break a curse.

I'm sorry, you want to do what?

Shut down the water
supply for a day

so it can be sampled and tested.

There could be residual
contamination from the tsunami.

Do you have proof
of contamination,

or you just going off of vibes?

No hard proof.

But here are studies
about the effects

of catastrophic events
on water supplies.

There could be contamination
from livestock waste,

chemicals, sewage.

And where are we supposed to
get our water in the meantime?

I already talked to a friend

in the mayor's
office in Ellsworth.

They're open to
sharing their water

while ours gets tested.

Hmm. You move fast.

Send us your contact's
info. We'll get into it.

I appreciate your
action on this.

We care about the health
and safety of this town

as much as you do.

(door opens)

(door closes)

Franklin tea flowers from Lily.

She said they're
usually super rare.

Luckily, she had one plant.

The meeting went great, too.

Council's on board with
the Ellsworth plan.

Oh, success. I told
you they'd listen.

Everything's coming
up Nickerson.

Success here, too.

Guess who's breaking
a death curse today.

? ?

? It's never too late ?

? Oh ?

? The fire never fades ?

? My garden remains ?

? Oh ?

? It's never too late ?

This is for Ace, the one
who is cursed to die.

This is for Nancy,
the one who is cursed

to lose that love.

(lighter clicks)

Entwine your arms.

Extinguish each other's flames.

Now drink your elixirs.

Apologies in advance
for the taste.

? Close like a shadow... ?

Okay. Are you ready?

? I'm gonna find you... ?

I know you've done
this before, but, um...

for me this is our first kiss.

? ?

? It's never too late ?

? Oh ?

It's okay, the sigil
is protecting you.

It's buying us more time
to draw out the curse.

GEORGE: Look, the
curse is lifting.

BESS: It's actually working.

? Oh ?

? It's never too late. ?

NICK: Wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.

What-What's happening?

Hey, listen. Nancy. You okay?

Those aren't flowers, those
are Temperance's moths.

I don't understand.

I got these flowers
directly from Lily.

Temperance must have poisoned
them before she died.

- How did she know?
- She predicted every way

that we were gonna try
and break the curse.

- (coughing)
- Would you get her some water?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Temperance found a way
to sabotage the ritual.

Nancy, Nancy.

Hey... Would you...
somebody call 911!

Nancy?

(monitor beeping steadily)

Oh, my God.

Oh, thank God. You scared me.

Where's Ace? Is he okay?

He's fine. You are not.

It was touch and go for
a while there, Nancy.

They couldn't get your
heart rate to stabilize.

What were you doing?

We were trying to
break the curse.

You and Ace tried to break
Temperance's death curse?

The curse that you
said would kill him?

Yeah, but it didn't.

And I'm fine.

Temperance may have found a
way to poison my part of...

Of the ritual, but when
we try again, it's...

Try again? You
can't be serious.

Well, I'm not gonna give up.

Ace is my person. I...
you don't understand.

What, oh, I don't
understand what? love?

I don't understand wanting
to be with someone so badly

that I would do
whatever it took?

I watched my wife die.

I understand everything.

Sometimes...

no matter how much
you want something...

it's not meant to be.

And you have to give
up and accept that

and move on.

I'm so sorry, Nancy.

I lost your mom. I
can't lose you, too.

(sighs) Okay.

Ryan is outside in
the waiting room.

I'm gonna let him
know you're awake.

(sighs)

Two days is the right time for
a clerkship follow-up email.

Hmm. Glad I waited.

Look, I don't want to fight.

I just hope you know how
serious the supernatural is.

I do. Next time I'll call you

before releasing an ancient
demon into the world.

And next time I'll stay and
I'll help you fix things.

I'm gonna make more mistakes,
and you can't always fix me.

Like Nick said, you
need to draw boundaries.

Nick?

Nick said that?

Yeah, when he was
giving me advice.

Nice.

Carry on.

Hey, why'd I get a call
from my contact at Ellsworth

saying no deal on
sharing the water?

Because there is no deal.
Their terms were unfavorable.

Horseshoe Bay will just stick
to its own water for now.

It seems just fine
to me, by the way.

Please go back and
negotiate with Ellsworth.

Please, I am begging you
to take this seriously.

I don't tell you how
to run your restaurant.

Don't tell me how
to run the council.

Now, pic for the official Insta.

Councilwoman getting takeout

from her favorite
small business owner.

Seriously?

Publicity is publicity.

I'm not some prop you can use
to curry favor with the town.

You have a lot to learn, Nick.

Next town council
meeting's Tuesday.

What was that all about?

Council nixed our plan.

They're not gonna shut
down the water or test it.

What are you gonna do about it?

I'm trying to figure it out.

Like how you tried with Jesse?

I asked you to talk
some sense into her,

and you said I had
boundary issues.

You do.

So, that makes me a
bad parental figure?

I didn't say that.
(clears throat)

I don't even know why I got
involved in the first place.

Because Jesse depends on you.

You depend on me.

What, so now you're just gonna
ice me and my sisters out?

Nick, I thought
that we were good.

After a breakup,
people get space.

They don't immediately
have to co-parent

and co-run a business.

I need space.

O-Okay.

How can I help you?

I want to talk to you
about my son Avery.

I checked his search
history on his laptop.

He was looking up
demonic possessions

and occult rituals.

Okay, uh, it sounds like
he has some questions.

And maybe you do, too.

I have some artifacts
and ritual books

I can show you if
you're interested.

I'm not. Neither is Avery.

Okay.

The supernatural is real.

And if he's curious, we
might as well talk about it.

Isn't that our job?

What my son learns is my job.

Chief Lovett's gonna
hear about this.

You can kiss my
donation goodbye.

(door opens)

- (sighs)
- (door closes)

Hey.

Do we have to leave?

No. No, you are
welcome to stay.

You have a right to
learn all of this.

I just might not have as
much time to teach you

as I thought.

Now, where were we?

So, the sigil of great danger...

(line ringing)

This is Jean Rosario.
Please leave a message.

(beep)

Hey, Jean.

You were right.

I think I am still working
through Kate's death,

even when I tell myself I'm not.

(sighs)

I've decided to join a
widowers' support group.

I want to be with you,

and I want to be the best
version of myself for you.

Call me when you
come up for air.

(sighs)

Hey, I'm glad you're here.

I was just looking
at this concoction

that the Incan people believe
can dissolve a love curse.

Shouldn't you be resting?

Well, there's no time to
rest. I'm still all in.

I was thinking maybe
we slow down a sec,

and we can talk
this thing through.

What is there to talk about?

I don't know, um...

If there is a death curse on us,

maybe it would be
better to not fight it,

and exist in the world together.

As friends.

Did you not feel what I felt?

Of course I did.

But then you weren't breathing,

and I was holding you in my arms

and going through everything
that you went through

in Temperance's hallucination,
and it was awful.

- Yeah.
- And I-I get... I totally get

why you were hesitant
to tell me the truth.

Right, but I'm not
scared anymore.

I let fear keep me away
from you for too long.

Temperance was a hundred
steps ahead of us.

This time she got
to the flowers.

Next time it could
be something else.

No matter what we try, she
could have sabotaged it.

She said you were gonna
die, and you didn't!

No.

But watching you collapse
almost killed me.

Say we do try again.

Maybe we think we
broke the curse.

How will we ever know that
she didn't plan another twist?

We will always be looking
over our shoulder.

What kind of future is that?

I am in this because of you.

You said this is
what you wanted.

I still do.

I want to be with you
more than anything.

But it is not worth the risk.

We were friends before
for a long time.

Even when we had secret
feelings for each other,

we shoved them down, and...

we'd still be in
each other's lives.

We manage.

I know what it's
like to kiss you now,

and for that to be real

and not some hallucination.

And I can't... (sighs)

I can't pretend
that never happened.

- I can't go back.
- I can't go forward.

Not like this.

But what about the
sunset in Paris?

And the hot air balloon ride?

It would have been perfect.

You're not just leaving.

Oh, it hurts too
much to be here.

(shudders)

? You're going home. ?

(thunder rumbling)

Hey, it's Brie. I took
care of the water thing.

See you Tuesday at
the council meeting.

(screams)
