and then she decided our son was dangerous.

Either way, he's been lonely long before that.

I mean, Oliver's been staring

at his screens for years, and that...

that thing has been staring right back.

And how come we can't see it, huh?

I-I don't know.

MARTY: Doesn't make any sense.

How-how can he be here and not here at the same time?

SARAH: What have you got, honey?

- MARTY: That's very nice. - (Oliver sighs)

(Sarah gasps softly)

(Marty chuckles)

We got some kid.

Larry's in his world, and we're in ours, but...

- But we're also together. - (Sarah sighs)

Larry can interact with us, but he can't reach us.

He can't get to Oliver yet.

That's why he wants to get into our world.

If that's his window...

Then we have to destroy it before it becomes his door.

DR. ROBYN: We have the cookie, we have the blue car,

and you get to choose... whichever one you want.

What's it gonna be?

(chuckling): Yeah. Good.

SARAH: Marty and I both experienced it.

It's not just in Oliver's imagination.

I'll be right back, kiddo.

Sarah, do you know what a physical empath is?

No.

It's when you love someone so much

that you feel or experience their pain.

It's a good sign.

It shows just how much you care about Oliver.

And it's very common in parents.

So, you're saying that we could be seeing his imagination

because we love him?

That doesn't make any sense.

But an invisible monster

that travels through electricity does?

Well, we're hoping that that's over now

because we destroyed that thing.

So, does he have a way to communicate?

I'll...

let him take my phone with him to school

until we can afford a new one.

Unless you could get him talking first.

Sarah.

Come on, it's...

it's extremely rare for kids his age

to start verbalizing in the way I fear you're imagining.

(sighs) I know. I know.

I just... I just want to make sure

that you still have the right expectations.

If he can say a few words...

maybe a sentence here or there...

that would be a big win.

We have to keep remembering his strengths.

♪ ♪

Have you seen him again?

What's this?

AUTOMATED VOICE: He. Gave.

It. To. Me.

Seriously?

Yes.

Then Mom and Dad broke him.

Broke him?

S-So, like, he's gone, then?

Yes.

Can I ask you something?

Yes.

Why'd you stop being my friend?

We used to hang out all the time.

I. Did.

Bad. Thing.

You did?

Punch. Face.

Your. Mom. Mad.

I barely even had a bruise.

The next day, I was asking my mom

when we could have another sleepover.

But she played me a message from your mom.

Your mom said you didn't want to be my friend anymore.

That is lie.

Wait.

So, you never said that?

Lie.

Wrong.

I never.

BYRON: Lie.

(laughs): Moms are so weird.

What are you watching over there?

Wait.
