DAIMON: [on phone] What the hell did you do?

‐ Excuse me?

ANA: Slow down.

What do you mean she's back?

‐ She's back.

I‐I‐I don't know what you did, and frankly, I don't want to know,

but Mom hasn't been this lucid in years.

Are you still there?

‐ Yeah, yeah, I'm here.

I wish I could share your enthusiasm.

‐ Well, you should. She's been asking about you.

‐ Yeah? What has she been saying?

‐ Um, well, I'm gonna be honest, a lot of it's rambling,

but she's talking a lot about

memories from when we were kids.

It's, um, it's progress.

‐ That's great.

I'm happy for you.

Thanks for the update.

Keep me posted. ‐ Really?

Ana, your Pilates class can wait.

‐ What do you want, Daimon?

‐ You had some kind of positive effect on her,

or a negative effect

against the thing that's possessing her.

Either way, something is happening, and I need you here.

Like... now.

‐ Daimon, I've already said everything I have to say to our mother.

I don't know what more I could.

‐ Yeah, but this isn't about you, this is about her.

If we work together, then maybe we can

bring Mom one step closer to being, to being free.

Permanently.

‐ God, I can feel the earnestness coming through the phone.

‐ Ana.

[groans]

I'm sorry, are you in pain or is that a yes?

‐ You owe me.

Are you following me?

‐ That depends.

Are you avoiding me?

Hmm?

You skipped town.

And I don't like being left in the dark, so I decided to take a little trip.

Great hotel.

And the, uh, pancakes are sublime, seriously.

I mean, flax seed.

Have a bite.

‐ I'm not hungry.

‐ Oh, okay.

I'm not even sure I know what a flax seed is.

[exhales heavily]

‐ What are you doing here?

‐ Take a wild guess.

‐ You want to know what I found out.

‐ It's like you're reading my mind.

‐ It's my father.

‐ You sure?

‐ Yeah. Mother confirmed it.

‐ Victoria or the other? ‐ The other.

Victoria is gone.

‐ Okay.

So, uh... what now?

‐ I track him down and kill him. It's not rocket science.

‐ Nope.

It's harder.

He's powerful, Ana.

One of the worst ever. You don't know what you're up against.

‐ Don't I?

‐ I'm just saying, it's too dangerous.

‐ 'Taker, I'm sure this is coming from a good place,

but no.

This is my fight.

Mine. And I don't need your help,

and I don't need a chaperone.

‐ Does Daimon know?

No.

And I'm not about to tell him.

‐ You know, you're the closest thing to family I have.

So I'm gonna tell you something my mother told me.

Don't ever let pride get in your way.

Not here.

‐ It's not pride.

It's rage.

There's a difference.

DAIMON: So, I think it's best if you just follow my lead.

‐ All right. Whatever.

[buzzer sounds]

‐ Hey, Mom, guess who's here?

VICTORIA: Button?

Bless your heart,

you brought her.

All my children are safe now.

Did you close the door?

‐ Yeah, it's closed.

‐ I don't want the storm to come inside.

The rain, snow.

It's coming down hard, isn't it, Button?

‐ Yeah. There's so much snow.

‐ Did you have fun playing in it?

‐ Sure.

‐ Maybe we could build a snowman later? VICTORIA: No.

There isn't time.

‐ Why not? It could be fun. The three of us could build one together.

‐ You mean the four of us.

There isn't enough time.

Your father will be... home soon.

‐ What are you talking about?

VICTORIA: If he sees us outside,

he will be very angry!

Very angry.

‐ We need to get her to focus on something else.

[Victoria whimpering]

‐ Victoria. VICTORIA: Angry.

Very angry. ‐ Victoria!

VICTORIA: Very, very.

Very angry.

‐ You know, no, I can't do this.

‐ You're bailing already?

‐ She's not back, Daimon.

I don't know what this is.

VICTORIA: Very angry. ‐ I'm out.

MOTHER: She's not back, he is.

Back for the rat, the only one to escape his trap.

Oh, but he'll catch it.

He always catches them in the end.

You know that, don't you, girl.

No stone unturned.

[Ana groans]

[Mother laughs menacingly]

I have to admit,

I do admire Vicky's stamina.

What a fighter.

Nothing was gonna stop her getting her warning out.

‐ What warning?

‐ You didn't tell him?

‐ Tell me what?

‐ It's Dad.

He's back.

‐ Dad's dead. His body was found and cremated.

‐ No, he co‐‐

Yeah, I'm not doing this.

‐ It's amazing what a little determination can overcome

when there's unfinished business to be dealt with.

‐ Unfinished business?

‐ No stone unturned.

GABRIELLA: If there's a bright side, it sounds like

Victoria's still in there fighting for survival.

Well, that's something.

HASTINGS: Gabby was looking through some articles in your mother's things.

Researching a victim who might have gotten away.

ANA: I'm the one who got away.

Dad is back! DAIMON: Demons lie,

all the time, and this is exactly what they want.

Causing conflict between us.

We're playing right into it.

‐ Sorry, maybe I'm misunderstanding something

but if your dad died, how could he possibly be back?

‐ I don't care what evidence there is.

Dad didn't die, fire wouldn't kill him.

He's still out there.

‐ Even if I believed that,

which I‐I don't,

still doesn't mean it's all about you.

GABRIELLA: That's the article on Zoe Richards.

The one Dr. Hastings mentioned.

DAIMON: Mm‐hmm. ‐ Who is that?

‐ From the clippings in Victoria's files.

I know it was 20 years ago, but I assumed you'd read it.

‐ Yeah, I try to avoid being triggered by my mother's insanity when I can.

Who is she? HASTINGS: According to police,

Zoe Richards claimed she was abducted, tortured, and nearly killed

around the time your father left home.

Most of the details were withheld at the family's request.

They wanted their privacy.

But... it was the last possible attack before your father died.

‐ You should read the article. ‐ Don't need to. No one got away.

‐ What if she did?

‐ So you believe me, you just don't believe me believe me.

‐ I'm keeping an open mind.

HASTINGS: Your father was still out there.

The timing fits. The methodology.

‐ Well, I don't believe in picking at old scars,

especially when it comes to Dad, but‐‐

‐ It could be worth looking into.

‐ If she's the one that got away, then we have to warn her.

ANA: [sighs] Sure.

Or use her as bait.

[exhales]

‐ We've got a problem.

‐ It's lovely to see you too, Henry.

And what, pray tell, is our problem?

‐ Number one‐‐ ‐ Oh, number one? There's a list?

‐ Well, no, there's not a list.

‐ Well, that's a shame.

‐ Saves paper.

One:

Why do I feel like you're hiding something from me?

‐ Paranoia is a common side effect of bad weed, you know that.

‐ You don't return my calls.

I don't hear from you for months‐‐

‐ Want me to call you, I'll call you. Done. What else?

‐ Is this a bad time?

‐ I need to check in on my favorite patient.

‐ Oh.

I wouldn't mind checking in on her myself.

[bell ringing]

GABRIELLA: What's the plan?

We can't just tell Ms. Richards the man who attacked her could be back.

We need a plan.

‐ She's right. We do need a plan.

‐ I'll figure it out.

‐ What?

‐ Nothing.

I just can't believe you're really a nun.

Or fledgling nun or whatever.

‐ Nuns have a look?

ANA: They kinda do. ‐ Which is what?

‐ Certainly not you.

I mean, I'm curious.

You're pretty.

You're like way too pretty to be a legit nun.

Maybe an internet‐spank‐me I've‐been‐a‐bad‐boy kind of nun.

But that's kind of it.

‐ Uh,

thank you? ANA: Take the compliment.

Nothing wrong with being pretty.

So what are you into,

guys, girls, the whole pantheon?

‐ I'm so sorry, is she bothering you?

‐ Am I? GABRIELLA: No.

It's fine.

‐ Ana's not a big believer in boundaries or propriety.

‐ Or bullshit. Don't let him fool you.

He's got a wild streak. He just hides it better than I do.

GABRIELLA: I get it.

Most people think of nuns as goody‐two‐shoes.

There's some of that, but most of the ones I know are more like

refugees from the world.

Looking to belong. ‐ But you partied.

‐ Sure... I partied.

But none of it was ever fulfilling for me.

I found that in my faith.

‐ Mmm.

So how celibate is celibate?

CARETAKER: Victoria's getting weaker,

but Mother's only getting stronger.

The longer we wait, the more uncertain things become.

Let me take care of Victoria.

It will solve all our problems.

‐ Daimon has conservatorship over her

and power of attorney so that's a non‐starter.

Even if it weren't,

we, Daimon and I, continue to believe

the best approach is a holistic one,

treating Victoria's situation in a pragmatic way.

‐ This is me you're talking to.

You and I both know you're just putting off the inevitable.

[scoffs]

[buzzer sounds]

‐ Look, I'd be lying if I said I didn't share your concern.

I do, believe me.

And I take it to heart. But I'm handling it.

‐ Look, ever since the day I brought Ana in,

it's been an issue for all parties involved.

The risk of them being together, it just scares people.

‐ For good reason.

‐ If word gets out

that the Daimon and Ana show is the new status quo,

there will be blow back.

‐ With all due respect, we're not there yet.

You wanted a look.

[thuds] [gasps]

DAIMON: So, maybe I should do the talking.

ANA: Yeah, great optics.

‐ I don't know if you know this, you don't exactly exude warmth.

‐ At least I can approximate it.

ZOE: Yes?

‐ Zoe Richards?

‐ Yes.

GABRIELLA: My name is Sister Gabriella Rosetti.

I'm with St. Teresa's Center for Mental Health?

We're researching survivors of violent crime,

focusing on resulting psychological trauma.

Particularly people who have survived

wha‐what you endured.

‐ Okay. What do you want?

‐ Would you mind if we asked you some questions?

It would be a tremendous help.

‐ You show up unannounced

and expect me to talk to you about the worst day of my life?

Is this some kind of a joke?

‐ You're right.

So sorry to take up your time, Ms. Richards.

We just thought we could help. My research assistants, Daimon and Ana,

are similar‐type survivors.

So if you ever want to talk, feel free to call.
