HAYDEN: Wow, you weren't lying.

There's a whole BestTime section.

I still say the Sours are
the only way to go.

Uh-uh, no. The original
BestTime Bars are aces.

Okay, well, then, uh, we'll just
get both for the trip. How's that?

Mm. You're gonna love
Niagara Falls, Hayden.

The fresh air, the mist.

Oh, just maybe go easy on
the road trip games, Dad.

- Ooh.
- Wow.

Oh, no, i-it's okay. I love games.

And my mom always
wanted to take me there,

so thank you all.

Sure.

Oh, my God, Hayden,

I have to show you all the
ice cream flavors. Come on.

Uh, yeah.

- We made the right call taking him in.
- Yeah.

[SCOFFS]

It's nonstop publicity for them.

Like Detroit doesn't
have other concerns.

- _
- LOGAN: Oh, come on, Bridge.

You know, not everyone's like us.

I mean, some of the guys on my
crew want nothing to do with them.

I am so glad we're getting out of town.

Everything's set for
Mariah's school, right?

Logan.

You owe her nothing.

Shanice is her biological
mother, Bridge.

Who wants to be a part of her
daughter's life, might I add.

It doesn't mean she needs
to sign every form.

- But she doesn't...
- Especially one allowing Mariah

- to miss a week of school.
- She doesn't need to, but...

But you want her to.

It's not "want," Bridge, it's...

Look, I don't know, but...

I can't pretend like
she's not a part of this.

CARLA: The mayor is so appreciative

you're willing to host
the Meet the , event.

We really feel the ,

are a boon to Detroit, and
we want the world to know it.

- Hey, we are an open book here.

Right, Jharrel?

[CHUCKLES]

Besides, with my office right up there,

I am guaranteed a front-row seat
to a Gladys Keller interview.

Live and in action.

How'd you land her, anyway?

Well, we had a number
of outlets reaching out,

but the mayor really wanted to
give it to a Detroit native.

, 's response has been good, too.

Turns out a lot of them

are really into telling
their side of the story.

Speaking of, I have a new
addition to the lineup.

- Oh.
- Um...

CARLA: But we need to vet them.

I'll have my assistant
send over my addition.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

See you guys mañana.

[SIGHS]

You don't like him.

[CHUCKLES]

Okay, when have I ever
liked the powers that be?

It's more than that.

Okay, yes, you're right, but...

I don't know, the...

I just want this whole thing to go well.

Well, I've been thinking about a way

to really show the public
there's nothing to fear.

Show them a true , ,
non- , blended family.

Make it clear they're
just like you and me.

Wait, Shanice?

- No...
- And her husband's family

- that took in a , as well.
- No.

They're the perfect, beautiful,
multiracial poster family

that's really gonna sell this thing.

I don't know.

I mean, it's... complicated.

And asking Shanice to go along with it

isn't exactly a picnic, either.

I can come with you to talk
to Shanice if you want.

SHANICE: Prepping?

For your big interview?

Watched some video
on this Gladys Keller,

she's got a silver tongue
that trips people up.

Mm.

Does that make you
the pot or the kettle?

Something on your mind, Shanice?

Any particular reason
you're helping Bill Greene

trick our fellow , into signing
these predatory contracts?

- It's a standard agreement.
- It's not.

It allows the government
to trigger conservatorships

over everyone who signs if
certain "conditions" are met.

What happened to our sanctuary?

[SCOFFS]

Instead, you are backing his play

to take away your followers' rights.

He's kept his word.

Conditions here are good.
People are happy.

Bill is lying to your face.

They know we have powers.

And whether you want
to believe me or not,

I am pretty sure
they're gonna find a way

to use them against us.

So, if you are planning
another public spectacle,

maybe keep that in mind.

[PUNCHING BAG THUDS]

[GRUNTS]

You okay?

[PANTING]

It's nothing.

I just couldn't sleep, so...

trying to tire myself out.

Come on, Logan.

We both know you're
seeing Shanice tomorrow.

[GRUNTS]

You know, we're all she's got, Bridge.

I understand that, but you were
still picking up the pieces

of her disappearance when we met,

and that was nine years ago.

Don't let this take you back
to where you were, Logan.

[SIGHS]

I'll mull it over.

I promise.

And promise me you'll shower

before you come back to

No one says "dalliances" anymore, Andre.

Well, I do. [CHUCKLES]

Are you sure you have
to leave in a few days?

Yes, since I refuse to
sign that stupid contract.

I mean, we both do.

Right? Have they found you an apartment?

Uh, well...

I didn't know how to tell
you this sooner, but...

I've signed the contract.

Andre, no.

These conservatorships

are essentially a prison
sentence if triggered,

and I have to believe they are
planning to trigger them somehow.

Why? Why-why would you sign?

It was before you found out
how restricting they were.

I plan to find my own lodgings,

but, with all these people coming in,

I want to be here to take care of them.

I learned my lesson
with Mildred and Noah.

I don't want them to have to rely
on government medical personnel.

Please don't be cross with me.

How can I be mad at you

when I'm just worried for you, Andre?

Sorry.

Uh, you're early.

Yeah, I, uh...

just thought the sooner we get
this taken care of, the better.

This is Andre.

- We've met.
- We've met.

Thank you again for your assistance

in escorting Mildred
back after everything.

Always there for my daughter.

Hayden, now, too.

Right, yes, uh, Logan
just wants me to sign

- some paperwork for Mariah.
- Yeah.

She's only missing a week
of school, but, uh...

You know, I-I thought you
deserved to be included.

Thank you.

[CLEARS THROAT]

You might need this.

[SHANICE CLEARS THROAT]

SHANICE: You want me and Logan

and Bridget and Mariah and Hayden

to get up there and pretend
we're some big, happy family?

A united, Rockwellian family

JHARREL: Look, I know it's weird,

a difference perception makes.

And we need for people to
see you all as human beings.

Yeah. We make it clear that

with family and loved ones, just
like everyone else in Detroit.

Yes, everything is just
so incredibly normal.

Listen, it's a story.

Every image that ever changed
history required a narrative.

I've been a part of enough
news cycles to know.

And we're hoping you
could convince Logan.

I hope you'll consider it.

I got to get back to the office.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

Jharrel, I'm worried about this event.

I can't tell if Rev is
in our corner or not,

and I don't trust whatever
the government has planned.

Yeah, me neither.

All right? But I do trust that
Carla knows what she's doing.

Look, one way to b*at
them at their own game

is to get the public
on the , 's side.

And what about the conservatorships?

Well, it'll be harder for them to
utilize those unlawful tactics.

The world rallies around the people
that they're trying to suppress.

[SIGHS]

So, one big, happy
family with Logan it is.

[SIGHS]

I'm sure they would love to have someone

with your press savvy

I, for one, am staying far away.

Yes, I have explored
the machine you left,

and I am searching for the
remainder of the COBOL code.

Well, I miss my partner in mystery.

How is LaDonna doing at her dad's?

She seems glad to be there,

and for that I am gratified,

but I would like to follow up on
something she was working on.

Do you happen to have any more
of your brother Manny's books?

You know what, I was actually
about to head to Claudette's today.

Because I got to clear
out some of his stuff

while she's away at bartending training.

Oh.

LaDonna and I found a torn
page amongst his things.

I'm seeking the rest of it.

I could help you sort

She barely lets me put her down anymore.

Logan, I'm an old lady.
I got simple pleasures.

I can't enjoy all of them when
I'm taking care of a baby.

And, somehow, I got myself
into taking care of a man

without any of the benefits.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Now, I love y'all,

but I'm not a crutch
you can lean on forever.

We can't go on like this.

And this bed is pretty uncomfortable.

[LAUGHS]

It's okay for you to
never forget Shanice,

- but you got to move on.
- [SIGHS]

You should talk to somebody.

Ah, I don't know.

Talking to somebody about this feels...

It makes it real?

Baby, it is real.

Even if she did come back,

you can't pick up where you left off.

So... you're getting up out

Okay. Point taken.

Shanice was like a daughter to me,

but she's not here.

She's not even in that big old empty

To me, she was everything.

why can't I move on?

Why am I still acting out and...

God, making the worst decisions.

Me and my girlfriend, uh...

Me...

and my ex-girlfriend
just recently broke up,

and, uh, not even a second later
I'm hooking up with a co-worker.

Still trying to make it all make sense.

I'm still pretty new here,

so, uh, thanks for,
uh, letting me share.

WOMAN: Thank you for sharing.

- I know it's hard.
- MAN: Yeah, thank you.

- Yes, thank you.
- Thank you, Keisha.

I, uh... see a couple new faces,

so, uh, guess I got to
do introductions, right?

[CHUCKLES] Um...

Hi. I'm Logan.

- Hi.

Uh...

I thought I had it handled.

- LOGAN: Guess not. [CHUCKLES]

So, back in Grief Group.

A while back,

the love of my life, this
brilliant, hard-ass lawyer

married me. [CHUCKLES]

You know, we had a
family and everything.

It was-it was kind of
perfect, to be honest.

Then she up and vanished.

I wa-I was frantic.

I-I was worried something
terrible had happened to her.

I just hoped that I could
find her, save her.

Well...

Then, uh, they found this letter.

Police gave me this letter.

You know, I-I don't know
what destroyed me more,

the thought of losing her or...

[SIGHS]

... the idea that...

maybe she was out of my life
because that's what she wanted.

Even so, I looked for her for years.

Then she came back.

Not because she had a
change of heart or anything,

she just literally came back.

She fell out of the sky

- and landed on my doorstep.
- Wait. She's a , ?

Look, I-I-I...

This is a grief group,
not a , support group.

You got what everybody here prays for,

and you want our sympathy?

That's what this is about... , ?

Somebody's playing you, man.
The whole thing's a hoax.

- A hoax?
- A hoax.

- No. That is not what this is.
- There's no way that people

- are falling out of the sky.
- It is real,

- and it is a gift from God.
- No, I don't think you understand...

How do you not have any hope?

[OVERLAPPING ARGUMENTS CONTINUE]

[CELL PHONE VIBRATES]

- Hello?
- SHANICE: Logan?

You answered.

Shanice. You've been calling?

Right, right, yes.
I wanted to invite you, um...

to be a part of... this thing with me.

Y-You mean this Meet the , thing?

Yeah, yeah. It's-it's a way for
the, for the world to kind of...

you know, get to know us.

It's not just you.

Mariah, Hayden... Bridget.

It would be all of us together,

kind of showing how we're
one big, happy family.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Is that what we are?

[SCOFFS]

What do you want with me?

I'll think about the event.

But...

it's a lot right now, okay?

Okay.

Yeah. Fine.

Is everything okay? That
sounded like an intense call.

Yeah. It was just Shanice.

She wants me to be a part

- of this Meet the , event.
- Yeah, Jharrel mentioned something

- about you all appearing together, or...
- Yeah.

It's not that I don't want to help.

I would love to tell the world

how great it's been having
Hayden as a part of my family,

- but...
- Shanice.

The man I heard in group...

the one struggling with
Shanice coming back...

he spoke with love.

That "against all odds" kind of love,

and the closest thing I
have to that is my sister.

I'm here because I have
all of this love for her

that I don't know what to do with.

And I'd give anything to
talk to her one last time.

I'm sorry about your sister.

Now, you heard them.

You have been given the second chance

that so many people in that group...

myself included... are jealous of.

It's not that simple.

Oh, in some ways, it is.

JHARREL: Well, I hope
something in here helps.

[VOCALIZING]

You, uh, certainly know your
way around Claudette's home.

It's almost as if you spend
quite a bit of time here.

What did I tell you about
minding your own business?

Oh, yes, me and Claudette
hooked up a little while back,

and we've just been I
don't... enjoying the vibes,

seeing where things go.

Is that how dating works now?

No declarations, just... vibes?

Depends. [CLEARS THROAT]

Well, I'm asking because
Shanice and I have been...

enjoying vibes as well,

but, yesterday Logan stopped by, and...

watching them together...

How do I compete with romantic history

when I don't know the first thing
about st century courtship?

Listen.

Given that I ruined my last
relationship with Carla

because I was too obsessed with
finding my missing brother, Manny,

I... don't really have
a lot of advice to give,

but you...

Okay, I mean, you do know that Shanice

is kind of a situation, right?

I mean, you sure you can handle that?

Well, if I catch your meaning,

Claudette qualifies in
that category as well.

Are you sure you can handle her?

Touché.

Wait, is that it?

Okay, so what is that?

It's the rest of the COBOL code.

You think it has something to do
with what happened to you all?

I'll admit, we are
working on conjecture,

but the way your brother
disappeared like us...

you thought you saw a green light.

Yeah, but I don't know.

That's why this might
be a fruitless search,

but we desperately need answers,
anything that can help us

get out from the government's clutches.

Yeah, I hear you on that.

[SIGHS]

But if Manny is somehow
related to all of this, I...

I hope we can find answers that
will bring us all some peace.

[SIGHS]

Did Logan ever tell you if he's coming?

Nope. Carla's busy figuring out

some other family for the segment.

- If he's upset about...
- About us?

Do you think he might be?

I-I don't know.

After all this is through,

I request your presence
in the cocktail lounge,

to celebrate your successes.

- Andre, that's not necessary.
- Oh, it is.

I'm handling my situation.

I know how hard you've worked

to make sure this event helps us all,

even those of us who
signed a terrible contract.

- [CHUCKLES]
- It is appreciated.

This is...

That man... was at Ypsi Med.

I remember he had flames
dancing up his arms.

Does that mean they're
releasing patients?

Do you think Noah could be next?

You said that man's power is fire?

LaDonna assured me all
our powers are "fire."

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

But in all seriousness,
what are you thinking?

I don't know, it could be nothing.

I'll find you later. Promise.

Just got out of a security briefing.

First thing they do is shove
a tranq in our hands.

Why would they up
security for interviews?

And more importantly, who are
those even supposed to protect?

- Jharrel...
- Oh, Shanice.

I think Bill Greene is up to something.

He brought in a , from Ypsi Med

whose power is apparently
sh**ting flames from his arms.

Okay, wait, the , he added to
the interview list last second?

And it sure looked like the
Reverend was in on it with him.

I knew I couldn't trust him.
He'd be fine revealing the powers.

He practically did it with
Ji-Eun at his last event.

I think he wants it out in the world.

Wait a minute,

you think that's what the
government's trying to do here;

expose y'all's powers?

But why would they do that?

Because our powers could
be exactly what they need

to trigger the conservatorships.

All of a sudden, the world thinks
we need to be looked after.

That we need to be taken care of.

We can't let that happen.

Why is that man here from Ypsi Med?

Are you and the government trying
to reveal our powers to the world?

You could be putting us all in danger.

You only see me as a thr*at, don't you?

Did it ever occur to you that I'm
trying to do right by our people?

You aren't the only one who knows
how to make a difference, Shanice.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]

KEISHA: Jharrel, he's in here.

[HAITIAN CREOLE ACCENT]:
What is this all about?

Hey, man, did they give you any orders?

I show them what I can do.

Brûler...

Then they set me free.

Anything is better than going
back to where they kept me.

Okay. Shanice was right.

We got to make sure they don't have

- any other tricks up their sleeve...
- Is it smart, leaving him here?

Look, we're trying to protect you.

Get everybody out from underneath
the government's thumb.

Ca... Can you trust us?

I want us all to be free.

Us, too. Us, too.

KEISHA: Stay here until we get you.

Hello to everyone at home.
This is Gladys Keller.

Today, we're bringing
you an in-depth special

on the mysterious , .

Are they just like us, victims
of some terrible circumstance,

or is there more to the story?

We're pulling back the curtain,

and hearing from them
in their own words,

live and unedited.

Our first guest,

the prestigious Reverend
Isaiah Johnston,

declared deceased in ,

brings us to the heart of it.

Thank you for that introduction.

As for your question,

I don't think there is a
difference between the ,

and everyone else.

See, the Lord works in mysterious ways.

We don't know why we were brought here,

but we're all human, Gladys.

I'm curious, and I'm sure
the folks at home are, too.

Why are you all under the protection

of the U.S. government?

The government is simply doing right

by a vulnerable population.

Something I think we'd all
want them to do more of,

wouldn't you, Gladys?

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

WOMAN: Shanice is right this way.

I'm so glad you all could make it.

- Hey, Shanice.
- Hi.

I know it'll be a little
strange for us all

to share the stage
together and act like...

well, um...

And it's probably the
last thing you want to do,

especially with your vacation coming up.

Are you excited?

Uh, yeah, yeah.

- Uh, Mom...
- Yes?

Um, I think they want us to
get mics put on or something.

Come on.

- We'll see you out there.
- All right.

Okay. Come on.

Can we talk somewhere,
in private, maybe?

Is everything okay?

Are you upset about
seeing me with Andre?

[SCOFFS]

I don't know what the rules are here.

- I know.
- You're married to someone else now,

and I just thought you didn't
want anything to do with me.

Am I being unfaithful?

No. You're not.

I am.

Look, right or wrong, I was
upset seeing you with Andre.

It's hard not to have these feelings

when you're the first woman
I ever fell in love with.

And when you left, it-it broke me.

I still don't know how
I picked up the pieces.

That's not true.

'Cause a part of me never did.

I've been waiting and hoping
for all that it's worth

that you'd come back one day.

Are you saying you want to
give us a second chance?

I'm sorry.

It's taken me till now to realize we...

we can't go back.

There's no erasing the last years.

When you came back,
we got our second chance,

but it was a second chance at closure.

- I don't understand.
- No, no,

I know that I was supposed
to come onstage

and-and talk about our happy,
blended, non-traditional family,

but I can't do that with
you anymore, Shanice.

I've got to make a clean
break and move on.

I've got to commit to
my family, to Hayden.

This...

It's not fair to us or
the people who love us.

We are good people, Shanice.

It's time we deal with reality.

One reality being that
you're still gonna be

a kick-ass mom to Mariah.

I want that for both of you...

... even if I can't be a part of it.

[SNIFFLES]

[SNIFFLES]

This is goodbye, Shanice.

Just-just wait.

There's nothing we can do.

You can't close the investigation.

No, you're asking me to give up
hope on my wife, and I won't.

- She wouldn't give up on me.
- I'm sorry,

but she made it pretty clear
she doesn't want to be found.

What? What are you talking about?

I know.

You should go be with your family.

Kaminski and Bridget Templeton,

Mariah, and Hayden Turner,

- Hello, everyone.
- Thanks, Gladys.

We're just so happy to have been able

It's really been wonderful.

Aren't you supposed to be

Don't tell me you got

Nope. It all worked out
how it was supposed to.

Thank you for doing the right thing.

I think the government wanted
to make a spectacle out of us

on live television so they
could control us further.

The right thing would be
letting Bill Greene know

what I think about those
contracts he made people sign.

I looked into it after

I should have realized
what he was up to.

Hubris on my part.

But make no mistake.

I won't let anyone harm these people.

Hayden, your wife...

So glad you're safe.

I'm not safe. None of us are safe.

[RUMBLING]

Having Hayden come into
our home was unexpected,

but he's brought so much
good into our lives,

I can't imagine him being anywhere else.

- Yeah.
- And how about you, Hayden?

- Are you happy?
- More than I thought I could be.

GREENE: I understand you're upset.

But believe it or not, we have
been very worried about you.

So has your sister Millicent.

Here's what I want.

[GRUNTS]

You free them,

and I'll let you go.

All it takes is one call.

Well, after this broadcast,

you may be the first
, heartthrob, Hayden.

- [LAUGHTER]
- LOGAN: Uh-oh.

He's taken.

No, not by me. Another , .

[LAUGHTER]

She's like, so awesome.

Stop lying.

The government doesn't care about us.

We're just experiments to you.

But you guys forget that we're
the ones who have power.

[CRYING OUT, GRUNTING]

[PANTING]

I can take you to your sister.

She's been quite upset since you left.

Mildred.

[CRYING OUT]

[ALL GASP]

- Oh, my God.
- Mildred?

[GASPS]

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

Let's go.

- Go. Go, go, go.
- Up. Up in the window.

REV: Mildred, you have to stop this.

This isn't the plan God chose for us.

You kept me a prisoner for no reason.

Well, I'll give you a reason.

No.

[PANICKED SHOUTING, SCREAMING]

Stop.

Fine! You're next.

[GRUNTING]

[STRAINING]

What did you do to my powers?

- What did you do to me?
- I... I don't know.

But you can't let them catch you. Run.

Run!

There's an exit this way.
Please move safely.

No. No. I have to get through.
Excuse me. Excuse me.

Keisha. Keisha. I need your help.

Bridget and Mariah are safe,
but I can't find Hayden anywhere.

- I-I might know where he is.
- Wait.

Did you know about their powers?

I knew about the powers.

Okay? But what just
happened with Mildred,

- that I had no idea was gonna happen.
- Does-does Hayden? Can he...

You gotta let him tell
you in his own way.

The whole world saw that,
Keisha. It was live.

I mean, what's gonna happen to them?

I don't know.

I don't know. Come on.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Excuse me.

Well, I'll give you a reason.

[PLANTER SHATTERS IN
VIDEO, PANICKED SHOUTING]

[VIDEO SHUTS OFF]

Look, you can just pack up my stuff

and just drop it off at the hotel, okay?

I know you don't want me
in your home anymore.

Now that you know
I've been lying to you.

I'm not mad at you.

I'm upset with the adults who kept
things from me, but, Hayden...

... you're just a kid

dealing with an impossible situation.

It's my job to protect you.

I am not going anywhere.

[SIGHS]

I saw how much you cared about Mildred

when you broke her out of Ypsi Med.

Must have been hard
seeing her like that.

This is all my fault.

Isn't it?

I messed up.

I should have helped her.

I should have known...

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Come here.

Sometimes loving someone

isn't enough to save them...

or your relationship with them.

But that does not mean...

that you aren't enough.

That you didn't give it
everything you've got.

It just means...

... you had different roads to go down.

Okay?

[GROANS]

You ready to come home now?

Aren't you afraid of what my power is?

I know you'd never hurt us.

I don't need to know
your power to know that.

You can tell me when you're ready.

I just want you safe.

[SLOW JAZZ PLAYING]

Welcome to Harlem, .

Seeing it in my memories
is no replacement

for seeing it in the... flesh.

What is wrong?

The event went terribly, Andre.

Mildred was there.

She threw Bill Greene out the window.

The powers are out for the world to see.

Oh, no...

I think the conservatorships
are gonna be triggered.

Your conservatorship.

I'm terrified of what is
gonna happen to you.

As am I.

I am terrified for all of us.

And that is a problem we
will have to face tomorrow.

But for now, we dance like
tomorrow will never come.

We have to figure out
how to protect you.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow.
