ZOE: Previously on "Freakish"...

I would like to make a toast
to everybody we've lost.

VIOLET: We will remember them.

NATALIE: Did you move this yourself?

That's really sweet. Thank you.

Look, I don't think you realize

the kind of person I am.

None of it matters. I know you now.

ZANE: Hey, you guys
can come out. It's safe.

So all of you guys have been
here since the expl*si*n?

- Where have you been staying?
- The high school.

- We have nowhere else to go.
- Look. We have a problem.

There are freaks at all the doors.

There's something wrong with LASHAWN.

I think it's gangrene.

The smell's drawing the freaks.

ALL: [GROWLING]

- We need to do something.
- VOILET: Surgery would k*ll him.

- What about the rest of us?
- You said it yourself;

- those doors aren't gonna hold.
- k*ll me.

Save Zoe.

LaShawn's name should be up there.

It just happened so fast.

I went to the cafeteria
for, like, five minutes.

Just, like, five minutes,

- and he was...
- Zoe.

I just can't stop thinking
that I should have been there.

Maybe if I had been with him there was

something I could have done, something

I could have said.

There was nothing.

LaShawn's infection wasn't something

we were equipped to handle.

If I'd thought of the antibiotic sooner.

LASHAWN was dying no
matter what you did.

Be grateful he went fast and

didn't suffer that long.

Guys!

It's me.

I got 'em.

I wasn't even rushing.

LASHAWN was dying,
and I was taking my time

loading up boxes of candy.

LASHAWN needed a hospital.

Even if you'd came back an hour earlier,

the results would've been the same.

The pressing concern is
the six people standing

in our teachers' lounge.

You mean the survivors I came across.

They needed a place to stay.

So you thought you'd bring them here.

I wasn't gonna leave
them in the drugstore.

We have limited resources,
and we don't know them.

So you've been here at
the school this whole time?

Since the expl*si*n?

Where have you guys been?

I was at the hardware
store when it happened.

I warned people to stay inside,

but people don't think
straight sometimes.

Wasn't exactly a situation

conducive to a calm reaction.

It was like living in
your worst nightmare.

My nightmares are better than this.

You guys have a secure perimeter.

Impressive.

Are you a soldier or something?

I work security at the plant.

You work for Keller?

They could have grabbed my g*n
and taken off, but they didn't.

We brought back food and medicine,

so supplies won't even be an issue.

They don't even have suits on.

For all we know, they're
on the verge of turning.

They've been out there for
days with just the masks.

Zane says whatever it is
that makes people turn,

- it has to be inhaled.
- Of course he said that.

- He wanted you to bring them here.
- Barrett, they're people.

They're just like us; they're people

out there trying to survive.

Look, why don't you just come meet them?

Did you know one of
them works for Keller?

[TENSE MUSIC]

♪ ♪

Now we know why they
didn't take your g*n.

They have their own.

[EERIE MUSIC]

We all think we should
keep the g*ns in one spot.

We'll keep our g*ns with us, thanks.

You never know when
you're gonna run into a freak.

Look, this is our house, our rules.

I'm not letting someone
who worked at Keller

walk around this place armed.

Look, I check passes at the gate.

I had no part in whatever
created those monsters.

How about the people
Keller sent to k*ll us?

- You know anything about them?
- What?

No.

Look, I sat at a kiosk all day.

This... this is crazy.

Look, I bet more than half of you guys

had relatives that worked at Keller.

Yeah, both of my parents do.

You see.

Grover, listen, if I wanted to k*ll you,

why wouldn't I have just
done it at the drugstore?

[DOOR CLICKS OPEN]

- Zane?
- You two know each other?

BOTH: Yeah.

- That's the psycho
- That's the assh*le

- who made my life hell.
- who cheated on me.

That belongs in the lobby.

I wanted a place to crash.

Okay, well, then crash on it,

but in the lobby.

[LAUGHS]

I'm not gonna sleep in a lobby.

No, no, you don't have to, okay?

You can go downstairs with your friends

and go to sleep in the fallout shelter.

Ollie, I think we've met
the playground bully.

I'm just telling y'all
how it is around here.

Are you a Kent,

because if your name
isn't on this school,

you don't own it.

You realize we might
need these people, right?

No more than they'll need us.

- Hey.
- I'm not talking about this.

I'm not going anywhere near my ex.

You don't have to,

but he works at Keller, and I
need to know if he's dangerous.

Zane?

Only if you're not expecting
him to sleep around.

So I don't have to worry about him?

Definitely not.

This is the men's restroom.

There was a line in the ladies'.

Apparently there always is.

I know you.

I read that profile "Forbes" did on you.

Or was it "Fortune"? About your app?

You read "Fortune"?

My dad's a venture capitalist.

There aren't many of
those here in the Valley.

[CHUCKLES]

Wait.

You don't mean Chase Bancroft, do you?

- You know him?
- Only by reputation.

You're really young to be so successful.

It must suck to be stuck in high school.

My mother thought the social interaction

would be good for me.

[CHUCKLES]

I can't believe someone as smart as you

hasn't figured a way out of here yet.

I almost did.

I radioed for help, but it had
unfortunate consequences.

More unfortunate than cannibal freaks?

Keller Chemicals sent people to k*ll us.

We haven't seen anything like that.

Don't worry.

We've taken care of them
for the time being.

So you're saying it's safe?

Mm-hmm.

I wonder if your friends
know how lucky they are

to have you here, Barrett.

Hey, look, we did pretty good

for a five-minute snatch and grab.

Yeah, all this should
keep us up for a while,

even with our numbers doubled.

Hey, look, man, it's really cool for you

to let us stay here.

So...

Violet didn't seem too happy to see you.

Yeah, well, that's 'cause
she's a crazy bitch.

Hey, man, come on.

You don't need to talk
about her like that.

She put a homemade expl*sive

in my truck and blew it up?

- Holy sh*t.
- Yeah.

I wasn't joking when
I called her psycho.

Oh, she must have had a reason for that.

What, because I talked to
some girls at a party?

- You mean you cheated on her.
- [SCOFFS]

Yo, whatever.

You know, what's it to you?

Oh, sh*t.

You and her?

Yeah.

They're gonna be a significant

around their g*ns.

Are you listening to me?

Are you listening to me?
I said let it go.

I don't know why you're upset with me.

I've been walking
around in bloody clothes

for days, and I didn't even notice.

There were more pressing concerns.

You knew me.

Does that sound like
something I would do?

Of course not.

And yet...

You haven't been behaving
as you normally would.

None of us have.

I've lost so much.

I know.

Noodle,

Natalie,

LASHAWN, I'm...

And I thought my mom and my brothers,

and then these people come.

And then you just want to kick them out?

I think we should consider
the consequences.

Yeah, but they're not freaks.

They're not people trying to poison us.

They're just regular people who survived

without the protection of this school.

If they survived out there,

you think maybe your brothers did too?

And I hope somebody would take them in.

Yeah.

Your clothes are all bloody.

Here.

He said they radioed out,
so that sounds promising.

Another one? Really?

There's kind of a lot to be
anxious about right now.

What the hell?

Well played, sulky guy.

He didn't strike me as the
passive-aggressive type,

more aggressive-aggressive.

What's our next move?

We play nice...

For now.

- You talked to Zane.
- Yep.

He told you everything?

He told me enough.

Look, Grover, I...

No, no, look, it's none of my business.

Right, it's not.

But I know how it sounds.

[SIGHS]

I freaked out, okay?

I don't do well when people lie to me.

Yeah, yeah, nobody does.

I just don't want you
to go around thinking

that I'm some crazy person
who just loses control.

That's not who I am.

Just like I know

you're not some creepy stalker

who goes to detention
to pick up on girls.

It's just the one.

There are blood stains everywhere.

Hey, it's better than freaks everywhere.

Well, a lot of people
have d*ed in this room.

I think I've got a mop if
you want to clean it up.

I haven't slept on a
bed since it happened.

Or slept, really.

Well, these are nice.

More comfortable than they look.

Avoid the science wing at all costs.

There are freaks there.

It's probably best not
to wander the halls

until you're more
familiar with the school.

Wait, there are still freaks loose?

- Just be careful.

What the hell?

OLLIE: We didn't do anything.

You almost k*lled Diesel.

Yeah, but I didn't. He's fine.

I'm the one who's still
having heart palpitations.

What were you two doing on the second

floor in the middle of the night anyway?

We were just looking
for a place to sleep.

Like I told ginger over there,

the fallout shelter
wasn't working for us.

They easily could have sh*t Diesel.

The g*ns have to go.

Guys, things almost went
really south tonight.

We can't let that happen again.

You're right. We screwed up.

- We'll give you the g*ns.
- What?

Yo, what the hell, Anka?

Look, you don't get to make
that call just because you

and Draco Malfoy here wanted
a cushier place to sleep.

Put yourself in their shoes.

I think we're better
off giving up our g*ns

and starting to trust each other.

Thank you, Anka.

- I...
- [CLICKS TONGUE]

There's something off with those two.

They seem like spoiled rich kids to me.

At least Anka got them
to give us their g*ns.

I don't know, man.

Something's not fitting.

I'm worried about Zane.

For a minute there, I didn't
think he was gonna back down.

That's not why you're
worried about Zane.

Yeah.

Yeah, I actually thought he was cool

before I found out that he
and Violet can't even stand

to be in the same room as each other.

It's that bad, huh?

[SCOFFS] It wasn't good.

She did something pretty extreme.

You know how I felt, man.

I felt like out of all this

sh*t that I've been through

in my life, there is no way

that Natalie would want to be with me.

And then one day she came, and she said,

"It don't matter."

And somehow, man, she was...

she was right.

I don't know.

Maybe it was different for you guys.

- Maybe, maybe not.
- That's your call.

That couldn't have gone any worse.

Yeah, thanks to you.

I'm not the one who

volunteered to give up our g*ns.

- What are we supposed to do now?
- Calm down.

Do you really think I
would let these people

take our only form of protection?

What is this?

I made you a little something.

This is your post-apocalyptic

survival skill, jewelry-making?

Oh, it's just one of 'em.

It's cute.

I love it.

I think you're incredible.

But?

No but.

I know how lucky I am
that you're with me.

I want you to know that.

Well, it's not like I
had a lot of choices.

But now I kind of have my eye

on that rich, whiny guy.

Hmm, I like my odds.
