[Female Narrator] Previously on
School Spirits.

What the fuck?

If there's anything

that you want to tell me
before he gets here,

you should say it now.

I actually have to go
into the school today

to clear out my desk.

Officially forfeit
my teacher's license.

When was the last time
that you left this room?

This might be a great day
to hijack

one of these sad skin suits
and finally bust out of here.

[beeping sound]

You staying?

[Sheriff] Your mom tells me

you don't want
to go back to school

because somebody hurt you
at that school.

Maddie.

It's Simon.

He's been texting all morning.

Mads, your friends miss you.

You know, when you were gone,
they were over here,

helping me in searching for you

and keeping me from losing hope.

You sure you don't wanna call
Simon?

Or let Nicole come by?

I'm not ready to see anyone.

Look, if friends
feel like too much right now,

maybe we could look
into you speaking with someone

who could give you a safe space.

You know,
someone at one of my meetings

gave me the name of a therapist.

You mean like a psychiatrist?

No, thank you.

-Maddie.
-I'm not crazy.

I'm not.

If you had a professional
that you trust,

someone who would only ask you
questions

that you were ready to answer...

You know, we could meet several

and you can pick the one
that you click with.

Let's have my friends
over for dinner.

Ask them to come over.

I want to see my friends.

I do.

[engine revs]

What are you doing?

I thought if I...

I mean, if I brought it out here
where the bus flipped over,

-I thought it--
-That big old horn

may not be your key.

Yeah.

For a second, I thought it was.

I saw red, but it's just
the brake lights on the bus.

Quinn,

be thankful
you can't get in there.

It's not a carnival ride.

[birds chirping]

What's that?

[suspense music]

Where'd you find this?

On the ground,
near the bus stop.

[Charley] Where's the rest
of him?

[Rhonda] I'm guessing
this is what's left.

So we think Mr. Martin
escaped here

in someone else's body?

Well,
I don't think he took it off

'cause he was worried
about a tan line.

[Maddie] Whose idea?

My mom's or Janet's?

[Simon] I don't know.

Can you go back
to the dead chem teacher?

He's in somebody's body, too.
Whose?

Who knows?

Can we just worry
about the ghost

who took my body first?

Deal.

I still can't believe my mom
doesn't know that's not me.

They look kind of comfy.

She was handing her this bowl
of popcorn.

I'm guessing they were having
a movie night.

On a Thursday?

Oh, great.

My mom's finally being
the perfect mother,

just not to me.

What?

There's more?

[quietly] I don't think Sandra

is gonna let her come back here
any time soon.

-How do we know this?
-[Simon] Xavier's dad.

He went there
for a statement last night.

Sandra said Maddie will come
back to school when she's ready,

which I'm thinking is
the 12th of Never.

Simon, we have to get
her back here.

Tell my mom you're coming.

You want me to sit through
a whole meal with this person?

Um, yes.

But we need a plan.

We need to put
our heads together.

You, me,

Xavier, Nicole, Claire,
Wally, Rhonda, Charley.

How many dead people
am I meeting with in one day?

[slams table]

Bring 'em on.

[music]

[Claire] This is weird.

Did you do this?

[Simon] I thought
it might be helpful.

-They here?
-In their chairs.

They're sitting on their chairs.

Okay.

[music]

How long has this person
been dead?

Excuse me?

Oh, no.

Okay.

Oh.

You are invading my space,
blue eyes.

He looks like someone I would be
friends with.

-[Charley] Okay, I love her.
-That's Nicole.

Xavier, Claire.

And you guys pretty much know
Simon.

Simon, this is Charley,
Wally, Rhonda.

Hi.

Um, nice to meet you...

formally.

Guys, this is Rhonda,
Wally, Charley.

-Hi.
-Hello.

Hello.

I can't wait to graduate
from this creepy school.

Must be nice.

You've been here like
four years, babe. Try 40.

Simon, remind them
we can see and hear you guys.

-They heard what you said.
-Sorry.

Guys, tonight's dinner

is the perfect chance
to get Janet back here.

Even if it's just for a minute.

Long enough for Maddie
and her friends to do this swap.

Yeah, well, I'd ask
for more than a minute.

Yeah, she's right.

It took us three days just
to learn shorthand.

If you're gonna get Janet back
here,

you're gonna need to know a lot
more about her.

If we're gonna get Janet back
here,

we're gonna need to know
a lot more about her.

[music]

Bottom line, this girl's
a total science geek,

and she still lives in fear
of this chemistry teacher.

-I got it.
-Wally has the floor.

-Wally's talking.
-[Wally] Okay.

I think we have to treat
this whole thing

like a hostage situation.

Janet is the terrorist.

Maddie's body is the hostage,
right?

It's like Arnold Schwarzenegger
in Commando.

[Rhonda] What?

I was lucky enough to see
it because of...

It's not important.

What's important is that we need
to answer this one question.

He's looking right at me.
There, look.

I need eyes up here.
Eyes up here.

He can't hear me.

Okay, we need
to answer this one question.

Where can we find a bazooka?

Wally, I would like
to keep this nonviolent.

-It is still in my body.
-That's a good point.

That's a bad idea.

Nonviolence is a top priority.

Yeah.

Okay, this might sound crazy,

but I read
that ghosts hate salt.

So maybe we can pour salt
on Janet and trap her.

-[Rhonda] Oh, no.
-[Charley] Yeah,

and then just use her
to do body shots.

Oh, my God. I miss those.

-Where did you hear that?
-Doesn't matter.

Never mind. Never mind.

What if we make her think

that this place
isn't scary anymore?

It would make her curious enough
to come back.

We don't mention
the dead chemistry teacher

until we get her away
from Sandra,

and then we gently let her know
that we know that she's a ghost.

I can't believe
I just said that.

-That's good. Keep talking.
-I like it.

Sis-boom-bah!
The cheerleader scores.

When you get her away
from my mom,

you need to let her know
that Dawn crossed over.

It's possible
for her to move on.

-She'll know how that works.
-I wish we knew how that worked.

I wish we had refreshments.

She needs to know she won't be
stuck here forever.

[Nicole] Hello? What's going on?

Which chair is talking?

Maddie says Janet has to know
there's another way out,

that it is possible to move on,

and she can give Maddie back
her life.

Mm-hmm.

Do we know why she took Maddie's
body in the first place?

Why was it Maddie and not,
I don't know, Nicole?

What? Why me?

Why would you say me?

Maddie wasn't really in a great
place when it happened.

-She's very devastated.
-What about now?

How's Maddie now?

She's great.

[music]

[music]

[indistinct chatter]

Why are people looking at us?

Can they tell we've been talking
to dead people?

Maybe they're hearing
Maddie's back

and they think
we know something.

[Claire] We do.

I still wanna try
the salt thing.

Guys, there's something I didn't
bring up at the meeting.

I found this in that yearbook.

This guy, Eugene, in the photo
is still alive.

He's in a nursing home nearby.
We should go see him.

Why would we do that?

If we're gonna get this girl
to come here without force,

we need to give her
a good reason.

Maybe he's got one.

Maybe he's got gout.

Nicole, I mean, we don't know
anything about this guy.

His memory may not be reliable.

But if we got him here,
couldn't that be bait?

How many of her friends
are still kicking?

But we have no idea
how she feels about this guy.

When she doesn't like people,
she backs trucks over them.

Let's just stick to our plan.

[music]

[bell ringing]

Dude, I'm not seeing anything

about soul-swapping here.

You gotta look
between the lines.

I'm reading
between all the lines.

I'm just seeing a bunch
of white,

as in paper.

I think we need to reverse
engineer what happened that day.

Recreate the circumstances.

You're saying that

this has to all happen
in the boiler room?

Good luck with that.

That place is a hellhole
for Janet.

It is for me, too.

But if we need
to know everything about her,

then don't we need
to know what really haunts her?

Okay, so what, you think that
if you take that watch with you,

-it will open up her--
-Maybe.

I mean, we all...

Me, Mr. Martin, Janet
all kind of died down there.

I mean, I'm not technically...

You know what I mean.

Do you want us to go with you?

-No.
-[quietly] Thank God.

[Maddie] She might be here soon.

You know, we need to divide
and conquer.

-Are you sure?
-[Maddie] Yeah.

You guys just stay here
and focus on the body swap.

There's gotta be something
in there

that tells us how it's done.

[guitar music]

[Rhonda] Hey.

We need your help decoding.

Sure.

Happy to help.

So how'd the meeting go?

It was...different.

Talking to people who can't see
or hear you

but nod their heads
like they do.

Kind of like having parents
all over again.

You didn't wanna come?

Um, I wasn't invited.

No one sent out formal
invitations, hon.

-You're part of the group.
-Not really.

You guys are tight.

You finish each other's
sentences,

you're, like, joined at the hip.

Yeah, that kinda happens

when you're stuck
in eternal detention.

Could you pack up
a little faster?

-I hate being in this room.
-Really?

This is my favorite room
in the whole school.

I worshipped this room.
I never wanted to leave.

Yeah, well, it's not the room
so much as that cabinet,

and the crap inside it.

You're upset the Madrigals won
regionals in '78?

[Rhonda] I used to spend
a lot of time in here too.

My best friend Marjorie was
a musician.

So we'd hang out
and write songs.

Wait, that Marjorie?

You knew her
before she was famous?

I don't think one quasi-hit

from an LP full
of duds makes you "famous."

Did you guys write songs
together?

Were you music or lyrics?

Does it matter?

There's only one face
in that cabinet.

Oh, God,
this is driving me insane.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I need Brainy Baker.

[Charley] What is
a Brainy Baker?

He was this kid

who always let me cheat off
his tests.

He started college
in 10th grade.

I think he invented Gorilla Glue

because
his glasses kept breaking, so...

Yuri.

Uh, you left the pottery studio.

Yeah, well, um,

you told me I needed to step out
of my comfort zone,

so I'm here to help.

And return a library book
that's 47 years overdue.

Zen and the Art
of Motorcycle Maintenance.

You should check it out.

I would give you this copy,
but I smoked the last chapter.

That's a joke, obviously.

-It resets.
-[laughing] It resets.

Okay, uh, why don't you join us,
hmm?

What do you know
about chemistry?

Besides baking pot brownies.

Oh, I actually know
a lot about chemistry.

[Maddie coughing]

[1950s slow dance music

[Maddie coughing]

Shut up...

[Mr. Martin] It's incredible
to see someone so young...

[Woman] Winner of
the National Science Fair,

Janet Hamilton,

whose brilliance once again
knows no bounds.

[Man] The scientific
community...

[overlapping voices]

[Man] ...MIT class of 1962.

[Woman] Janet Hamilton,
a bright, shiny new star...

[Man] Scientist Janet Hamilton
has won the Nobel Prize for...

[Man] [indistinct]

[Man] See, the work that
young scientist Janet Hamilton

has done has really propelled
the field forward

in so many ways...

[whispers] I was robbed.

[dramatic stinger]

[door closes]

[breathing heavily]

[music]

I'm gonna grab
a physiology book.

Hey, tell me something.

I have no idea
what physiology is.

Is it just me,
or do you get the vibe

that he only came out
because of me?

Are we talking the closet
or the pottery room?

[Charley] Both.

I mean, I get the feeling
that he wants to help, right?

But if he's only helping
to get closer to me, then--

Bingo, what do you mean?
That's a double win.

-Dude, relax.
-What if I'm wrong, right?

I wasn't around in 1977.
It was different back then.

You know, people met in hot tubs
and wore mood rings,

and really flirted

with anything
that had a heartbeat. So--

Charley, Charley.

Breathe with me, okay?

Breathe with me. Let's go.

[both inhale]

And exhale.

Relax, okay? Oh, he's coming.

You're gonna love me.

Well, that was fast.

I had a hunch, and I was right.

The formulas Mr. Martin's
writing about

are connected
to serotonin and dopamine.

Okay, who are they?

Neurotransmitters that give you
the lows and the highs,

blues, nirvana.
Feelings are powerful.

If he manipulated that shit,

he could carve out open access
points and--

How do you know all this?

You were gone for less
than a minute.

I started reading medical books
in eighth grade.

Diagnosed myself every week.

With what?

Different stuff.

Uh, mostly anxiety.

So you used the weed
to self-medicate?

-More the wheel than the weed.
-Huh.

Which one killed you?

Neither.

I had a panic attack

in the greenhouse
that triggered my asthma.

I snuck in after school to water
and fertilize my college fund,

and I got locked in.

The greenhouse?

I know, right?

You think a night
in the jungle would be rad.

All that oxygen,

but I couldn't get
a lick of it into my lungs.

Why didn't you just, like,
break the glass?

My asthma attack
was out of control.

I couldn't feel my hands,
my arms, or my legs.

No need to explain.

Been there. Trust me.

I'm having a pretty crazy day.

I'm starting to feel

I'm just frustrated.

We're here.

And we're seeingThe Empty Man,
The Empty Man, The Empty Man!

I'm so geeked for it.

It's supposed
to be really scary.

And Nicole
is really excited, too.

-Right, Nicole?
-Yeah, I'm excited...

[Maddie and Simon laughing]

[imitating Maddie's laugh]

[Nicole] Excited.

[Maddie laughing]

[imitating laugh]

[Eugene] Who did you say
this was for?

A school newspaper.

We're writing an article

on female students
who had an interest in science.

[chuckles]
Must be a short article.

Back in my day,
there weren't many of those.

[Nicole] Right.

Um, what about Janet Hamilton?

You knew her, right?

Yes, of course I knew her.
She was a close friend.

What can you tell me about her?

That she should be sitting
right here with me now.

But she died
in that accidental fire

at the school, didn't she?

Why are you asking me
about Janet?

You want me
to say something I shouldn't?

No. No, I'm sorry if--

I said everything I needed to.

Nobody wanted to hear
it back then,

and they don't want to hear
it now.

What didn't they want to hear?

Mr. Bergstrom?

[soft music]

[soft music]

Where were we?

Is Principal O'Connor not happy
we asked to meet twice a week?

Because French Club's meeting
twice a week, right, Janet?

It's not about Science Club,
Eugene.

Let's get back
to covalent bonding.

Mr. Martin, maybe
we should just end early today.

I don't know
if I'll be able to finish

this experiment with you.

Um, Mr. Rollins will be...

taking over as your new sponsor
starting next month.

-Where are you gonna be?
-Gone.

What does that mean?

I have been asked to leave
in two weeks' time.

What?

They can't do that.

No, can. Can and done.

But it's okay. It's okay.

Hey, this is the best thing
that could have happened.

You know?

I'll finally be able to realize
my potential.

Use my knowledge of noble gases

to discover innovative
compounds.

Work in a professional lab
with state-of-the-art equipment.

Be able to bounce ideas off
brilliant minds

who can elucidate
a protein structure.

Open new doors in microbiology.

Mr. Martin--

And I can be somewhere
where my passion for what I do

won't be disparaged or punished!

Mr. Martin,

we can continue our experiment--

I said we'll continue them now!

[door shuts]

Following Monday, he was there,
but he really wasn't.

Barely spoke to Janet.

Why?

I can't talk about this anymore.

Mr. Bergstrom--

I put away everything
that had to do with that fire

and locked it up
in my storage locker here.

I can't live with it anymore.

[Nicole] How angry was he,
Mr. Martin?

Do you think
your teacher started that fire?

Janet and Mr. Martin
were very meticulous.

Neither one of them would
have made that kind of mistake.

What are you doing?

Oh... I was just...

-It was right there and I--
-Just curious?

Learning the tune
so you can sing me to sleep?

It's not a terrible song.

I'm glad you like it.

I've never made it past
the second verse.

Why not?

Rhonda,
can you just tell me why?

Because it's about me.

My best friend forever,
pinky swear, true blue,

wrote that song mocking me
for trusting that teacher.

Why would she do that?

Because she jumped
on the bandwagon

and blamed me for my own murder.

So that's how
my classmates remember me.

As the sap who asked
to be strangled.

-Rhonda, I'm sorry.
-You want a hit?

There's your hit.

Enjoy.

[soft music]

[Simon] Okay,
I hope you can hear me.

I'm keeping you
in my right pocket.

I'm gonna try not
to move too much.

I'll only eat with my left hand.

What's going on?

Is this a podcast?

Simon.

He called this line
before he left

and then he took it off the hook

so we could listen
to the dinner.

Hey, they're pulling up
to your house right now.

[Simon] All right,
we're parking.

Something I do not miss.

This is weird.

I'm about to have dinner
with my ex-girlfriend

and the girl who ran me over,

and they're the same person.

Yeah. Ready?

[Sandra] Hey, um, she's really
excited to see you all.

Uh, I just wanted to say
if Maddie seems a little off,

or, uh, not quite herself,

just go with it.

Oh, and please, no questions

about what's happened
the last month.

Okay? Just keep it light.

[suspense music]

[suspense music]

Maddie.

We're so glad that you're home.

You were right.
My mom missed me.

Okay, uh, let's take a photo

before we
all have spinach in our teeth.

Okay, uh, move in, guys.

Closer.

Uh, closer, please.

My mom got the chain fixed.

Great.
I know it means a lot to you.

Still don't know how to use
the zoom on this phone.

We should make faces like we did
on the Thunderbolt.

[forced laugh]

And what do we say in Wisconsin?

[All] Cheese!

Here we are.

The lasagna smells incredible.

[Sandra] Oh, don't look at me.

I just took a number
at the deli counter.

Could you put that on my plate
for me?

Thanks.

Oh, uh, hold on.

Um,

before we eat,

I'd like to just say

it's incredible to see
all of you around this table.

Especially you.

Can I say something?

Yes.

I would just like
to apologize to everyone

at this table
for what I put you all through.

That I scared everyone,

and made them think the worst.

Especially you, Mom.

Would anyone else like
to say anything?

Could someone pass the salt?

-Is this as loud as it gets?
-Shh!

Why are you shushing?

The only thing we can hear
is the lint in Simon's pocket.

[Rhonda] He's right.
If this is how Kennedy

spied on Castro, no wonder
there was a Bay of Pigs.

Pigs? What?

Like, oink, oink?

It was a Cold War hunt,
not a barbecue.

Guys, Maddie needs to hear this.

[Maddie] He said
that senior year

is different than other years.

Lots of seniors take three weeks

just to do senior trips
and stuff.

Okay, this landline
is a piece of crap.

It's better to have
old technology

than no technology.

[Yuri] It does make you wonder,
though.

They say we're the top
of the food chain,

but there's a spider
under that table

who just built
a whole house with its butthole.

[laughs]

Maddie, let's see if this
stretches into the stacks.

I don't need to hear any more.

Wally.

I'd give her a moment.

I don't think
this is about us.

Apparently,

there's, like, this alumni
at Split River.

-I forgot his name.
-Mm.

Bob something.

Bob something donated all this
money to the Science Department,

and they bought
this awesome telescope.

Yeah. That's why they're
offering AP Astronomy.

[Simon] And they mounted
the telescope on the roof.

There's, like,
this electronic database

that's preloaded
with 40,000 celestial objects.

[Claire] The images
are so crisp. Shocking.

You can see Saturn's rings
and Jupiter's cloud bands.

And it's not even that big.

It operates like this classic
Dobsonian model

that's been around
since, like, the 50s.

1965.

What?

Dobson didn't invent
his variation until '65.

The standard light bucket
is Newtonian.

Mads, I didn't know
that you were into astronomy.

Yeah, it was from a book report
in seventh grade.

Well, you should let us
sneak you into the school,

and we can go up to the roof.

We could do it tonight.

I don't know about that.

[Simon] Or you could just take
the class.

Maddie is finishing
senior year online.

-What?
-[Sandra] Yeah.

We both feel that going
to school in person

is probably not
a good thing right now.

[soft music]

[soft music]

Hey.

Are you okay with me being here?

Maybe she deserves it.

Who?

Janet.

Maybe she'd do more with my life
than I ever would.

Uh,

what are we talking about?

I got into her scar.

How?

Probably because it's mine, too.

We both lost ourselves
in that space.

-And her room was--
-Hell.

Pretty close.

But also filled with awards
and notable mentions.

And an embroidered lab coat.

And for fuck's sake,
Wally, she wasn't even 17.

This person I never even met.

I feel like I saw her.

And she wanted
to make a difference.

She wasn't just taking up space.

Neither are you.

Yeah, right.

I struggled to answer
two essay prompts

on my college applications.

This girl,
she knew what she wanted to do.

She was brilliant.

Maddie--

She'll live a bigger life
than me, Wally.

Maybe.

Maybe she will.

Some people are destined
to do big things.

That's great.

But the rest of us...

We carry the small gifts.

That's just as important

to the people whose lives we
touch.

Believe me, Maddie.

I wish you would be stuck
with me here forever.

But...

[music]

A lot of colleges place a huge
emphasis on extracurriculars.

We finally
have some cool equipment.

I mean, you can watch the stars
from any roof,

-but right now nothing competes.
-[Claire] Yeah.

And when we had to do the online
classes during lockdown,

there were, like,
a zillion distractions.

Would anybody like
some more salad?

Oh, I'll take some. Yeah.

Oh, I got...

-Oh, I'm so, so sorry.
-[Maddie] It's all right.

I'm so sorry about that.

Making a mess.

Sorry.

Sandra, there's definitely pros
and cons to this online thing.

I actually think we've landed
on the best option.

Eugene Bergstrom misses you.

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music]

Is everything okay?

I just need to reheat
my lasagna.

[music]

[plates clank]

[breathing heavily]

Maddie.

Don't you just wanna nuke that?

Nuke?

It'll just take 30 seconds
in the microwave.

I'm not in a rush.

Who is Eugene Bergstrom?

I never heard you
mention him before.

Is he a boy at school?

Did something happen
with him before you left?

No.

You just seemed shaky
when Nicole mentioned his name.

I'm just tired, Mom.

I didn't really get
much sleep last night.

Can we just slice the pie

and let everyone
take dessert home?

Sure, uh,

let me help you.

[whispers] That was not helpful.

It's not like your
gaze-at-the-stars plan

was working.

We just needed to move
the needle with Sandra.

-We were almost there.
-[Nicole] No, you weren't.

Sandra believes this is her kid.

Can you blame her?
She even laughs like Maddie.

-It's not Maddie.
-Why are you busting my chops?

You're the one who went renegade
and freaked her out.

And you're the one making
salt walls

and staring
at her like she's a cyclops.

She's right, man.
You gotta blink now and then.

Guys, if we want to get
her back...

She's not going back there,
Claire.

Her dead teacher may have set
the fire that killed them both.

What?

How do you know this?

You went to see
that Eugene person.

Yeah, I did.

[Simon] And now we're
trusting an 80-year-old dude

who probably can't remember
what he had for lunch?

[Nicole] His memory of Janet
was pretty freaking pure.

If I were her,
you'd have to kill me again

before you take me
back to Split River High.

-Hi!
-Hi.

Hi.

Uh, Maddie's not feeling great,

so I think we need
to end this early.

-Can we at least say goodbye?
-Yeah, you can try.

[Simon] Hey.

Nicole had no right
to blurt that.

We didn't come here
to blow your cover.

We're just trying
to help our friend.

Mr. Martin's no longer
at the school.

You're safe.

He's gone.
You can go back now.

Dawn crossed over.

You can, too.

If that is...

what you...

really want.

Right?

Here.

Enjoy your pie.

[vacuum cleaner whirring]

Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

[whispers] Janet,
you can trust me.

It's okay.

[ominous music]

[static]

[ominous music]

It's time for you to go.

Now.

Yeah, the line is definitely
dead.

They cut us off.

I think "they" was Janet.

The last thing I heard
was gurgling.

So what now?

We sit and wait for them
to call back?

We can't even answer.

We could hang in the band room.

And why would we do that?

Because I have something
I need to share with you.

I think we've done
enough sharing for one day.

It won't take
more than three minutes tops.

You can time me.

Uh, sorry.
Yeah. What's in the band room?

I'm a sucker
for a free ukulele lesson.

Uh,

hey, maybe we should go look
for Maddie and Wally?

They can't have gone far.

Yeah, but, I mean, we should
at least let them know

that we lost contact
with the living.

Maybe they don't wanna be found.

I didn't.

Until I... did.

Thank you for that...

by the way.

[music]

-This isn't easy.
-Which part?

This is the first time
since I got here

that I haven't been thinking
about how quickly I can get out.

You know, me, too.

For a second there, I seriously
thought I crossed over.

This is how you imagine it?

The great beyond?

-Or whatever you wanna call it?
-[Wally] I don't know.

Maybe. A little bit.

I'll tell you what, though.

Wherever I'm going,

I seriously doubt
it gets better than this.

Oh, Maddie Nears.

Come on!
You don't want to mess with me.

You don't want to mess with me.

[upbeat music]

Did she at least admit
that she is who she is?

She can't take that chance
with Sandra in the next room.

She had a knife in her hand.
Did I already say that?

Are you just gonna leave
your phone?

Oh, it's already trashed.
It's definitely junk now.

There's not enough rice
in the world

to say that thing.

-Hey, Sandra.
-Hmm?

That picture in there,
the framed photo

of you and Maddie and the guy
in the fisherman's vest?

Yeah, that's Maddie's dad.

Taken during one
of the many fishing trips

where she insisted he throw back
everything he caught.

It was a thing between them.

-Good night, Xavier.
-Good night.

Thanks for being here.

Okay, what now?

What, we bribe Eugene Bergstrom
to sit in the chem lab

and pray that Janet
wants a Science Club reunion?

[Simon] What do we say when
an 18-year-old blonde walks in?

I think we're going to need
a more solid plan.

[message notification]

[message notification]

[Claire] So where do we go
from here?

[Simon] We'll sit here for
a minute and figure it out.

♪ Foolish girl♪

♪ So I watched it
all so carelessly♪

wide open♪

who was the foolish girl♪

right through my fingers♪

She didn't think
you were the fool, Rhonda.

She thought she was.

"Didn't know your place.

You didn't know
the place you held in my heart."

See?

She blamed herself

for not helping you
when she could.

Maybe we've all been looping
on the wrong things.

Some of us longer than others.

Do you mind
if I hold on to this?

Yeah, of course.
I mean, I don't mind.

It's yours.

Thank you.

Are we wasting our time here?

I mean, that girl
we heard at that dinner

is not giving up anything,
especially Maddie's body.

You never know.

Things can change.

Might seem like she is keeping
a lid on it, but...

I bet she's bugging out when
she closes her bedroom door.

Big emotions stir up
biochemical reactions.

Suddenly the ground shifts,

planets align,

people feel the need to be real.

Um, so Wally's class of '84

is having a reunion thing
tomorrow night.

It's just gonna be a bunch
of old people dancing

to Talking Heads
and Tears for Fears,

but still, it could be fun.

Would you wanna go with me?

It's just a party to go to.

It's not like
it's a date or anything.

Why can't it be?

[Mr. Anderson] What the fuck?

What is happening?

[Maddie] Mr. Anderson?

Maddie?

You're back.

You're alive.

Um, not really.

Oh, hello.

Who are you?

Wally Clark, class of '84.

Mr. Anderson,
how long have you been in here?

I don't know.

It feels like an eternity

because I took one box down,

and I put it in the car,
and I came back up to pack...

this box.

But this box,
it just won't pack.

[Maddie] Wally...

If he's in here,
and Mr. Martin's not...

Holy shit.

Yo.

Is that Mr. Anderson?

[Claire] What is he doing here?

I thought he would be locked
up by now.

Maybe he broke out
for cherry pie.

[Mr. Martin as Mr. Anderson]
Hello!

I heard Maddie's back.
Here.

That's very sweet of you.
What's this?

It's a novel that Maddie and I
had talked about.

Just thought she might need
a little escape.

And I know how much she likes
her twisted characters.

Thanks.

I'd invite you in,
but she's had a rough night.

Maybe too much too soon.

She's just not herself
at the moment.

I got it.

Don't give up.

She's in there somewhere.

I'll come by tomorrow.

Good night.

[Xavier] Oh, he's coming back.

[dramatic music]

What is he doing?

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music]

Oh!
