[sinister music playing]

[music intensifies, ends]

Hey, Kinsey.

Gabe.

What are you doing here?

Um, you know, I just left my bike here,
and so I thought I would just check in.

How's Duncan? Does he remember?

No.

We tried the key, but it didn't work.

What happened?

Is he okay?

Uh, no, not at all. He's resting.

I'm... I'm so sorry. That...

That must be really disappointing.

Is there anything I can do?
I can stay awhile.

Hey, man. This isn't a good time.

Yeah, I know. I was just saying
I'm really sorry about Duncan.

- If there's anything I can do to help...
- Yeah, appreciate that. We're good.

This is really a family thing.

[suspenseful music playing]

Kinsey?

Yeah, you should go.

Thanks for checking in.

Yeah, no problem.

Um, I'll... I'll see you guys tomorrow
at Winter Fest, right?

Mmm.

- Of course.
- [Gabe] Text me if you need anything.

[music intensifies, ends]

[lively instrumental music playing]

He's... He's been in our house constantly.

He's been with you
for God knows how many hours.

What the hell could he be trying to do?

Could you just stop?
I'm really freaking out right now.

- [whooshing]
- [door opens]

Guys, guys, I have major news!

There were two Dodges
the night of the Shadow att*ck.

- What?
- Where'd you just come from?

Nebraska. It took Rufus a while
to remember what happened,

but he swears he saw
two Dodges at his house

right before he passed out.

Dodge had the Identity Key.

- The only other person there was...
- Ellie.

[Bode] Exactly.

What if Dodge tricked us?

What if that wasn't Dodge
who you pushed into the Black Door?

Oh my God.

We k*lled Ellie.

[somber music playing]

There's no way you could have known that.

- We still did it!
- No, you didn't. Dodge did!

She lies. She manipulates.

I can't even process this right now.

[footsteps approaching]

[wind chimes tinkling]

[sighs]

I feel sick.

- [door opens]
- Me too.

- [Duncan] Hey.
- [door closes]

Mind if I join you?

Erin's right.

This is on Dodge.
You guys cannot blame yourselves.

I think I can blame myself for being in a...

what I thought
was a relationship with him for months.

What kind of idiot am I?

She played all of us.

Believe me.

But for what? What was the point?

Did he ever ask about the keys?

Well, yeah, but

everybody does.

I can't think of anything he asked
that was more than just...

[solemn music playing]

Wait.

He asked me once

about how the keys were made.

He wanted to know
if Dad ever taught us how to make them.

So maybe he wants to try and make a key.

A key that does what?

[exhales] Oh sh*t.

He knows that you made a key.

That's why he cares so much
about fixing you.

So why is he not
making a grab for me right now?

Because I lied to him.

He doesn't know
that you've had your memory restored.

And we have to keep it that way

until we can come up with a plan.

Right.

A plan.

[solemn music playing]

[birds chirping]

- Morning.
- Morning.

[coffee pouring]

You seem awfully chipper
for someone who was out so late.

Ah, let's just say it was one of the most
exciting nights I've had in a while.

- Awesome.
- [laughing] Yeah, it was pretty awesome.

[both chuckle]

God, I feel like I'm 16.

Good morning, Mom.

Oh. Morning, sweetheart.

Listen, I've got a few things
to take care of at the theater

before Winter Fest starts,

so is it okay if you ride to the festival
with Tyler and Kinsey?

Yeah, sure.

Okay.

Ooh, it's gonna be
such a fun day. [kissing]

- All right. I'll see you guys later.
- [Bode] Bye.

[footsteps receding]

[door opens, closes]

- [sighs]
- [Duncan] How'd you sleep last night?

[scoffs]

Me too.

Are you sorry
that you got your memories back?

Just because everything's gotten so weird.

[inhales deeply]

If Dodge has her sights set on me,

I'd rather know than have no idea.

True.

Plus, I finally feel
like I understand this place.

[indistinct whispering]

What the...

Can you hear that?

[whispering continues]

Whispering?

Oh yeah.

Me too. Let's go!

[adventurous music playing]

[whispering continues]

I think it's coming from down here,
in the basement.

Come on. Let's go!

God, I actually missed this part.

[whispering continues]

No one's ever explained these
to me before.

[drawer closes]

- [drawer opens]
- [exhales]

What are they?

Seriously?

These are how cavemen like me and your dad
listened to music.

Oh! Um...

Are they...
What do you call those things? Um...

iPods!

Sure. Something like that, yeah.

Now, these were
your dad's prized possessions.

He wouldn't let me near them,
which was fine.

We had vastly different tastes. [inhales]

I was more of a, well,

Hall & Oates kind of guy, you know?

[indistinct whispering]

I think this is the one.

[whispering stops]

[sighs]

Looks like a chain.

Alice in Chains.

I get it. [laughs]

But what does it do?

I have no idea.
I've never seen this one before.

[seagulls cawing]

[Eden] Ugh! I'm so hungover.

[indistinct chatter]

The Memory Key should've worked on Duncan.

Guess someone's not too concerned
with maintaining her summer bod.

- Clearly.
- [Javi laughs]

Maybe it just takes time for things
to click back in place.

I don't get why we just don't take
your little girlfriend

and force her to make the key.

That was your original plan, wasn't it?

[inhales sharply]

Not all Lockes can make keys.

Oh.

Great that you spent the entire summer
getting close to her, then.

- [grunting, coughing]
- Smaller bites, Eden!

Smaller bites. Chew your food.

[whispering] I'm not gonna waste
our last piece of Whispering Iron

when we know
that Duncan can make the keys.

He's the sure thing.

[Josh] Hey, guys?

A small artifact
was taken from my apartment.

- It was in my desk.
- You mean that small musket ball thingy?

You three were there that night.
Did you see anyone take it?

Did you, uh... Did you see anyone
rummaging around my office?

- Um, nah, man.
- No, sorry, Mr. Bennett.

Ask around.

I'm gonna give whoever played this prank
the opportunity to un-play it,

no questions asked.

The artifact has personal significance
to me, and I'd like it back immediately.

- Think he knows it's Whispering Iron?
- I don't see how he could.

Why would he make a big deal out of it?

Eden!

sh*t. [sighs]

- Do you know... Who is that?
- Mom!

Still unwilling to meet me halfway
in any regard, I see.

You are here. Why are you here?

I'm heading to Nantucket for the weekend,

and I thought I'd swing by
for Winter Fest.

- Hello, I'm Carol.
- Hi. Gabe. Pleasure to meet you, ma'am.

Where's Dad?

He couldn't make it.

He's at a golf tournament in Florida.

I'm excited
to take a stroll around my old campus.

But first,
we're gonna get you freshened up.

Maybe locate a hairbrush?

Actually, Gabe and I have a...

No! Don't worry about it. Have fun.

Come on.

You sure you're up for this?

I have to be.

Gabe would definitely be suspicious
if we didn't show.

We just have to try and act
like nothing's changed.

I can tell Jamie, right?

About Gabe and Eden, and...

It's... It's not a good idea.

But she's my friend. I trust her.

If we start telling all our friends,

it'll make Gabe more likely to figure out
that we're onto him.

The fewer people that know,
the safer it is for all of us.

And keep your phone on you, okay?
So we can stay in touch.

You remember the tracking app
that I installed on our phones?

If you can't find somebody, check it.

[phone chimes]

Got it, bud.

Okay, here we go.

[sweeping orchestral music playing]

[people screaming]

[music continues]

[machine whirring]

- [game machines beeping]
- Ooh, I'm gonna go stick with Mom!

[bell ringing]

Good luck.

You too.

[intense music playing]

[whirring]

- Hey.
- Hey.

Wasn't sure if you'd turn up.

We need to act like everything's normal.

- Right.
- I just don't know if I can do it.

Different than screaming your head off
in a horror film, huh?

[chuckles]

I wish I could scream my head off.

Listen, I didn't really have
the chance last night,

but... I just wanted to say thank you.

[chuckles]

Look, you would've climbed down
to a giant cosmetic case after me too.

[chuckles]

I've no doubt.

- I should probably get to my booth.
- [Scot] Yeah.

Well, I'm... I'm here.

You know, if... if you need me.

In 1775, British soldiers
were given secret orders

to find and seize Colonial rebel supplies

that were housed throughout Massachusetts.

Uh, but these orders...

these orders did not stay secret
for very long.

I felt like he was a lot better
during practice. How was your weekend?

Oh, uh... fine.

- Kinda boring. How was yours?
- [Jamie] So fun.

My grandma always has ice cream cones
and Magic Shell, like, at her house.

- [Josh continues indistinctly]
- Hmm, that's cool.

Something wrong?

Oh, nothing.

[crunching]

[carnival music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

Ah! Look, Poppy, so pretty!

What do you say?

Thank you.

Of course. Thank you.

- [bell ringing]
- [game machine chiming, beeping]

[breathes deeply]

- [ominous music plays]
- [glass shatters]

- Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.
- It's okay, I got it.

- You got it?
- Yeah.

I guess I'm still a little off.

So, um, is Duncan doing any better?
You never texted me.

There's nothing new to report.

I only saw him for a second
before I left this morning,

but... he didn't seem to be in great shape.

- Maybe it's just gonna take some time.
- [inhales deeply]

So what are you doing today?

Did you volunteer to work a booth?

No, I actually thought
I would just come and keep you company.

You know, maybe get my face painted
if there's not an age limit. [chuckles]

I don't know about these butterflies.

I want something
that will make me look hard.

Maybe like a neck tat or something?

I think I can make that happen.

How about this little lobster claw,
in honor of my boy, Nephropida?

[exhales]

[laughs]

[tense music playing]

This will only hurt a little.

[laughs]

[Jackie] There you are. [chuckles]

- You wanna grab a snow cone? [sighs]
- [Tyler exhales]

Actually, can we go talk for a minute?

Sure.

I've never seen it before.

Maybe Rendell never knew about it either.

It was hidden in one of his tapes.
Alice in Chains.

Hmm, that's very Rendell.

- Mm-hmm.
- [Erin chuckles]

Well, but if he used it,
he must have kept it to himself.

I'm sorry. I can't help you.

It's weird. I think I always thought
that the keys whispered for a reason,

like, "Hey, you might need me."

But maybe it is just random.

You're heading out?

Yeah. Bank called yesterday. [sighs]

My trust fund came through.

[Duncan] So where you goin'?

Oh, I was thinking about looking
for a place somewhere up in the mountains.

I always loved going
to the mountains as a kid.

[inhales sharply] But after last night,
I can't just leave.

You've been trapped
in your head for 20 years, Erin.

You can't stay trapped in Matheson now.

Yeah, but Dodge is out there somewhere,
Duncan, and she's coming after you.

I'll be fine.

I've got my full memory back,
thanks to you.

You deserve to find happiness now.

I don't know
if I'm gonna be able to do that.

This is not your fight, Erin.

Just go someplace beautiful,

and I will come visit you
when this is all over, huh?

Okay. Go.

[somber music playing]

[kid laughing]

So how's it look?

- Some of my best work yet.
- Yeah? [laughs]

So I was just wondering. Um...

You know, is there a chance
that maybe you guys used it wrong?

What?

[Gabe] Memory Key.

I mean, it's just weird
that it worked on your dad

and Erin and Ellie,

but not on Duncan?

[tense music playing]

I guess it's possible.

We're not exactly experts with it.

So what are you gonna do
if he doesn't get better?

- Is there something else you guys can try?
- I don't know!

Can we just talk about something else?

Look, Kinsey, I know
that this is difficult.

Okay, I know it's a family thing.

But I'm always gonna be here for you.

I just hope that you know that.

Thanks.

[woman] Oh, look, guys. Face painting.

- [girl] Yeah!
- I gotta get to work.

- See you later?
- Why don't I stick around? Help you out.

[bell ringing]

[carnival music playing]

[Jackie breathes deeply]

[chuckling]

So you remember the day we went to Bath?

Yeah.

I mean, pieces of it.

What if I told you that you could get
every single minute of that day back?

[laughing] Okay, sure.

That'd be nice. [exhales]

- [key clinks]
- [fire blazing]

[Jackie] How... How are they doing that?

[chuckles]

In a few seconds,
you're gonna forget you even saw this.

Why would I forget?

Because it's magic.

Because you're too old now to remember it.
But I have a way to change that.

This key, this...

this key can make it so you never forget.

What?

We could experience it together.

You just have to give me the okay
to use it.

Is all magic this beautiful? [chuckles]

It can be.

You need to know it, um...

can also be used to do terrible things.

[Jackie] So if I choose to do this...

I would never be able to unsee it?

The beautiful and the terrible things?

Then I don't want it.

Jackie...

There's... There's so much
that's... that's out of our control.

There's so much that's changing,
but this can make it so we don't have to.

Okay, but people
are supposed to change, Tyler.

And this doesn't feel right, it...

- Okay, please, just trust me.
- No!

[whooshes]

[muffled] What are

those little fires?

[whooshes]

[somber music playing]

Were those a part
of Winter Fest? [chuckles]

Yeah.

Yeah, they must have been.

Well, this is our last one,
so we should make the most of it.

[music continues]

[sighs]

[mysterious music playing]

[drawer opens]

[keys clinks]

[music continues]

[objects clattering]

[music continues]

[music intensifies, ends]

[man] Hey, step right up!

My mom always used to say
that carnival games were rigged,

which means my performance
must have been especially impressive.

Uh, you did great.

You wanna do the Snow Maze?

Oh, you go on ahead.
I'll... I'll stay out here.

Okay, what is going on?

What?

You've been acting totally weird all day.
So what is it?

Bode, come on. You know you can trust me.

I know.

I just get claustrophobic
when I go into mazes.

- That's all.
- Uh-huh.

[bell ringing]

Hey!

You can either tell me what's going on
or do the maze with me.

- So what's it gonna be?
- Jamie, come on. My phone is in there.

Hey!

Hey, Jamie!

- [grunts]
- Whoa, hey! Four tickets, please.

[Bode] What? Just... Come on.

[sighs] Okay. Uh, I only have two tickets.

I'm sorry, little Locke,
but I literally only have one job,

and that's to stop skippers
and freeloaders like you from getting in!

Move along, now. Go on.

Uh, Mom!

Quick, can you give me two tickets
to go in the maze?

Okay. Oh, slow down.

I'm sure I've got a couple.

- Ooh. Thank you!
- [Nina chuckles]

Oh, having fun is such serious business.

- Yes.
- [sighs]

So I'm guessing
that this... this isn't a deal-breaker,

or else you would have
said something by now, right?

Is it, uh... Is it weird
that I'm kind of into it?

- No!
- [Nina laughs]

- No, not weird at all. It's, um...
- [phone chiming]

[laughs] Good.

[dramatic music plays]

Everything okay?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, everything's good.

So, you know, I'm sure my... my kids
could keep an eye on Bode and Jamie

if maybe you wanna go grab some dinner?

I would love to,
but I have dorm duty tonight.

- So...
- Oh. I could bring over some takeout.

I also have a stack
