You've been at this forever, Dorothy.

It's pointless.

How can you say that, Ada?

[eerie rumble]

Can't you feel him?

He's close now.

You keep on doing the same thing,

but nothing ever happens.

Perhaps if I had some assistance.

[grunting]

- On three, two, one.

- [panting]

- [birds twittering]

[Nina] Kinsey! Bode!

Time for lunch!

[music continues]

[fluttering]

[whooshing]

[Kinsey] Ha!

[Bode exhales]

- b*at you again.

- This game is rigged!

It's not like I chose to be a sparrow.

- Although, it does have some advantages.

- [key clicks]

I can always get my bird friends

to poop on your car.

You don't have any bird friends.

- Not yet.

- [chuckles]

So, I think almost all the prep work

for the wedding's finally done, and

Oh, I wanted to show you guys something.

I never noticed this before.

It fell off the bookshelf

in the winter study.

Isn't it cool?

I think there might be

something magical about it.

You also thought that

about the record player.

And the weird old squirrel figurine.

Okay, okay, fair, but look.

Keyhouse is in it.

Why would someone make a snow globe

with their house in it if it wasn't?

But it doesn't have a keyhole.

Maybe, and just hear me out,

maybe it's just

a very cool antique snow globe.

[utensils clinking on plates]

You hear anything from Tyler?

Well, yesterday, he liked one of my texts,

so we can assume he's still alive.

Well, good.

That's good?

Ah. I guess the bar

is even lower than I thought.

He wanted time on his own.

We have to respect that.

When he's ready,

I'm sure he'll start communicating more.

In the meantime, we just need

to carry on with our own thing.

It's been two months since he left.

I kind of figured he'd be back already.

Yeah, but we've been having

a lot of fun of our own, right?

Well, yeah.

And I'd say we're doing pretty great.

I mean, Dodge is gone.

We haven't heard anything from Eden.

Things are finally kind of normal.

Well, except for you.

You're the weirdo.

[chuckles]

[waves crashing]

[foreboding music playing]

[music intensifies]

[dramatic music playing]

[music stops]

[gasps]

Where is it?

[suspenseful music playing]

[music intensifies]

[roaring]

Oh, so, um, Duncan said Brian's mother

can't be seated within 50 feet

of his great aunt Sharon.

He didn't explain.

Okay, I'll switch her out with one

of Duncan's Fish-Head College friends.

Great.

I think everything else looks good

unless you spot any other powder kegs.

[Kinsey] The wedding's Saturday.

I think it's safe

to give his seat to someone else.

What about Cousin Frank from Phoenix?

I don't think I can handle that many

knock-knock jokes in one evening.

- They're a family tradition.

- Your dad's side of the family.

Maybe you could ask someone.

Me? No.

You're entitled to a plus-one.

Why don't you ask Josh?

Oh. Um

I I don't think I'm ready.

Jamie's already gonna be there

hanging out with Bode.

I think it would actually be nice

if you asked him.

[chuckles softly] I'll think about it.

[camera clicking]

[pleasant music playing]

[adventurous music playing]

[seagulls cawing]

Feel good to be back?

Nebraska's nice, but what can I say?

I'm a man of the sea.

[music continues]

[doorbell rings]

[door opens]

[sighs] Ellie!

- [chuckles]

- [Ellie sighs]

You're probably wondering where I've been.

Oh, you don't have to explain.

Do you feel any different?

Not knowing about magic,

having that separate me from my kids

was hard.

Now we can connect.

I know what they've been through

and what you and Rendell

and your friends went through.

So then, you know my part.

Bringing back Lucas

is what started it all.

Oh, you had no way of knowing

what would happen.

Besides, I think the keys

work on you unconsciously.

They wanna be used.

Good, bad, they don't care.

I'm incredibly sorry

about what happened to you.

I know the kids feel horrible.

It's not on them.

It was all Dodge. It's not their fault.

Have you heard from Lucas?

I don't expect to.

He needed to get out of here.

Start fresh someplace else.

Can't say I blame him.

Honestly, I wanted

to start someplace else too.

But Rufus, he had his heart set

on coming back here, so

[inhales sharply]we're renting

a little place down by the water.

I couldn't bring myself

to move back into the old house.

Sure, that makes sense.

I'm expecting

a lot of looks and questions.

Apparently, everyone thinks I was found

wandering outside of Pittsburgh

and that I couldn't even

remember my own name.

Better than the truth.

Ellie.

What was it like?

That other place.

[solemn music playing]

It was

like time and space

didn't even exist over there.

And I was just

drifting in

It's kind of like

trying to remember a bad dream where

all that's left of it after

is that feeling.

And it's, um

it's a feeling

that I hope I never have again.

[music continues]

[indistinct chatter]

[Gordie] This film,

it's exactly what I was hoping for.

It's gonna be just what Matheson needs

to get our tourism revenue back on track

after the effect of recent tragedies.

[Zadie] I hope so, Mr. Shaw.

We are just so happy

that you hired us to do it.

I can hear the plummy voice

of the narrator.

"Matheson Massachusetts,

home of revolutionary history,

stunning cliffs,

rich New England clam chowder"

And the occasional mass fatality.

Doug.

[mouthing] No.

Seriously. I mean,

maybe we should lean into that.

We We could use this film to

to really target the dark tourism crowd.

And how about this.

Matheson Massachusetts.

Home of unexplained massacres.

You should check out

the tourism numbers at Chernobyl.

- He's joking.

- [Gordie] Oh.

[laughs] Chernobyl, yeah. That

- Funny. Yeah.

- is funny.

Ooh. I better run.

- [grunts]

- Oh.

Keep up the good work here.

Got it. Will do. Thank you.

Yeah. Are you trying to torpedo our one

good source of funding and equipment?

I'm just trying to make this balancing act

a little bit easier.

[Zadie] And action.

And Abby.

Great. Great.

Keep it coming.

Perfect.

Okay. Now you sense him.

- And turn!

- [gasps]

[Zadie] And cut!

Ahh! [laughs]

Guys, that was beautiful.

We just got B-roll for the tourism film

and a Splattering pick-up

all on the same day.

- Boom.

- [Zadie] Boom.

And Bode found this new key

that turns you into an animal.

- Did you and your friends use that one?

- A couple times, yeah.

You did? What animal were you?

Uh, I think I was an owl.

That's so cool.

So, did you just fly around Keyhouse and

Um, sorry, Ruf.

I'd just rather not talk about it,

if that's okay?

That's fine.

So, what do you say we split the meatloaf?

[sighing loudly] Can I get you something?

Oh my goodness.

- Ellie Whedon?

- Hi, Margie.

Oh. [chuckles]

I'm so happy that you're back!

We were all so relieved when we heard

the news that you'd been found.

That's very kind. Thank you. [chuckles]

So we will start

with two vanilla milkshakes, please.

Yeah. Yeah. I'll be right back with those.

[sighs]

I know this isn't easy for you, Mom,

but I think it's good we came back.

I want you to be happy.

You can be happy here too.

If you try. I think.

Will you try?

Yeah.

Okay.

[crickets chirping]

I've got to remember

to call the caterers tomorrow

and update the number of vegetarian meals.

[indistinct whispering]

[suspenseful music playing]

[whispering continues]

[Nina] What do you need, bud?

[whispering continues]

[whispering continues]

Oh, hey, no, no snacks right now.

We're in the dinner zone.

- I just need to

- Shh!

- I'm listening.

- [whispering continues]

[gasps] Wait. Are you

Do you hear something whispering?

[whispering gets louder]

[Bode] I think it's in here.

Okay, uh, let's Uh, let's

let's just keep things

somewhat orderly while we

I think it's hidden in here somewhere.

[clattering]

[whispering intensifies]

[whispering stops]

A snowflake.

Where else is there a snowflake?

[chuckles softly]

I think I know where it goes.

Here, come with me.

[adventurous music playing]

[clicks]

I told you it was magic.

Should we try it?

We should probably wait for Kinsey.

Yeah, okay.

[inhales] You're right. Though she did say

she might not be back until late.

All right, I guess we could try.

But only for a second.

[music continues]

[sighs]

[cranks, dings]

[wind whistling]

Whoa! Mom, look!

[grunts]

[foreboding music playing]

Can I help you?

Hey, hey, what are you doing?

Wait a minute. Get your hands off me.

You can't just [grunts]

- Where is it?

- We know you have it. We saw you.

- What What are you

- The snow globe.

[gasps]

- [gasps]

- [key cranks, dings]

- [eerie music playing]

- [windows slamming shut]

[Bode] Mom?

- Did you think we'd go away too?

- [gasps]

[grunting, panting]

- Ahh!

- [in demonic voice] Now give us the key.

No, don't try and take it. It'll

burn you?

I knew it.

I could tell she's not a Locke by blood.

She must have married in.

- [Ada grunts]

[Dorothy yelps]

[grunts]

- [Dorothy panting]

- [groans]

- [grunts]

- [Nina grunts]

Can you feel him now?

[Ada] Yeah.

He'll be waiting for us.

[dramatic music playing]

[somber music playing]

Bode.

[exhales sharply]

[Bode panting]

[doorknob rattling]

[grunting]

Bode!

Hello?

[banging on door]

Bode!

Where are you?

Mom! I'm right here! Mom!

[inhales sharply]

[exhales]

Mom!

[wind whistling]

Mom!

Bode!

[somber music playing]

[exhales]

Bode?

[gasps]

[straining]

[shivering]

[breathes deeply]

Okay, so next week

we're profiling the aquarium,

which will also double

as Nephropidae's new lair.

[phone vibrating]

Hey, Mom.

[Nina on phone] Kins,

you need to come home now.

[exhales]

[foreboding music playing]

[banging]

[grunting]

[Nina] Oh, I can't believe I did this.

This is all my fault. [sobs]

No, Mom, you can't blame yourself.

He's my little boy.

He could be freezing to death in there.

We're gonna find those women

and get back that key.

Do you think they were demons?

They talked about how they'd get b*rned

if they took a key from a Locke?

They were unnaturally strong.

We're gonna need to arm ourselves.

Come on.

[tense music playing]

What if we can't find them?

We'll find them.

[music continues]

[music swells, ends]

[owl hooting]

[suspenseful music playing]

[eerie whoosh]

[eerie rumble]

[Dorothy] We're here, master.

What names do you go by here?

Raiments of flesh.

She's Dorothy, and I'm Ada.

Dorothy and Ada Wheeler.

Dorothy and Ada.

You are dearly needed.

[Captain] You can enter. I cannot.

What I want is at the bottom.

[music intensifies]

[both grunting]

[pulley squeaking]

[tense music playing]

[music swells]

[Captain] What do you see down there?

[Ada] Just a dead girl!

Check her pockets.

- And there are more of these?

- [Ada] More keys?

- Oh, yes.

- Many.

There's one

that can turn you into a ghost,

and one that gives you power

over any sort of plant,

and another one that can bring

a simple drawing to wicked life.

Go get them.

All of them.

Well, being what we are,

we can't just take them from the Lockes.

I don't care how you do it.

Just bring me the keys.

You should go in and rest.

I'm gonna keep on looking.

Mom.

- [Nina] I'm not giving up.

- No one's giving up.

Let's just go inside, make a plan.

Maybe Chamberlin saw where

the sisters went. We can ask him.

- [switch clicks]

- [Dorothy] Good evening to you.

Who's this one? A daughter?

Yeah, this one's a blood Locke.

You can see it in her face.

Just give us the key.

We'll give you your Snow Globe Key

so you can rescue your boy,

but you must give us all the other keys.

[tense music playing]

Nice try, sweetheart,

but to use this,

you'd need to know our names,

wouldn't you?

We're not giving you our keys.

We tried to be civilized,

but you leave us no choice.

I'll try and hold them off. Go!

You can have her back

if you give us the Snow Globe Key.

Keep her.

Bring her in here.

- [door opens]

- [Nina] Bode.

[Nina panting]

[Kinsey] Here. Come on. [grunts]

[sweeping orchestral music playing]

I don't think I'm gonna want

to play in the snow ever again.

Oh, just give it some time.

I'm just grateful

you were there to help me through.

Mom. You were a badass.

I kind of was.

Oh, your hair is still wet.

[ominous music playing]

[rustling]

[fluttering, squeaks]

[music swells, ends]

- You guys found a tent out in the woods?

- [Kinsey] Yeah.

It looked like someone

had been staying there for a while.

Do you think it had anything to do

with those demon sisters?

I don't know.

- Maybe it was Eden's tent.

- [eerie whoosh]

Eden's not really a camper.

Plus, we haven't seen her in months.

I heard her parents think she ran away.

They've got people searching for her.

And what do you think?

I think if she were still in Matheson,

we'd know it.

I thought everything

was getting back to normal again.

I know.

We just have to keep looking out

for each other. Okay?

I wish that we could

talk to Tyler about all this.

Me too, but there would be no point.

He wouldn't understand it.

I know, but I still wanna talk to him.

I wonder where he is.

[disc jockey] We're coming up

on quittin' time at Cascade County,

Montana's best radio station.

- Here's another oldie, but goodie.

- [hammering]

[country music playing softly]

- [sighs, sniffles]

- You're getting pretty good at that.

Been learning from the best.

Yeah, I used to think

my superpower might be

flying, or turning invisible,

or something.

Turns out it's hammering nails.

And you just distracted me

from working 30 seconds for free.

[sighing] Ah. I guess I owe you, uh,

a dime?

How about a beer?

- Not too sure about your math on that one.

- Mmm. I got cheap taste.

Seriously, me and the guys are gonna

get a drink. Wanna come?

- Uh

- [woman] It's Lutz's.

They're very, shall we say,

chill about checking ID.

I I just wanted to finish this last

Stop already! It's yabba-dabba-doo time.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll meet you there.

[rain pattering]

[turns off engine]

[locks door]

[country music playing]

[indistinct chatter and laughter]

Where are the guys?

Jeremy's girlfriend

is having one of her freak-outs,

and Terrence forgot

it was his poker night.

So, I guess it's just you and me.

[drink pouring]

Thanks. Yeah, I'm

I'm just gonna have one. I'm driving.

- [glasses clink]

- [phone dings]

What you got there? Something serious?

[sighing] Uh

No, it's just, uh, my uncle's wedding.

- You gonna go?

- No, I don't think so.

It's too soon. Too far. I

feel like I just left that place.

Okay. Well, I'm sure

the show will go on without you.

[chuckles] Yeah.

Unless you have to sing "Ave Maria"

or something.

- No voice.

- Mmm. [chuckles]

Hey, no pressure.

You gotta listen to your gut.

I think our guts are very wise.

Mine told me to leave home at 17

and never look back.

It also told me to stop eating

extra spicy buffalo wings.

Both decisions

I've never once come to regret.

All that's to say, you must have left home

for a reason, though, right?

["Dreamer" by Aisha Badru playing]

[crickets chirping]

[phone vibrating]

- Hey there.

- [Nina on phone] Hey.

- How's it going?

- [Nina] Good.

I'm I'm really good. You?

Yeah, good. Same. Same.

It's been a whole season

of personal growth over here.

Jamie has finally realized

the chicken nuggets taste the same,

whether they're shaped like dinosaurs

or not, so that's huge.

[laughs]

Um, I'm actually calling because

Uh, well [clears throat]

As you know, my brother-in-law's wedding

is coming up, and

I was wondering if you might

wanna come as my plus-one.

Your plus-one?

[Nina] It's Saturday,

so it's ridiculously last minute.

And if it's at all

Yeah, no, I would love to.

Yeah, I would love to.

You would?

[Josh] If there's an empty seat

next to you,

then I'm in.

What do you think?

the whole room together.

[woman] Well, that was fun.

It was. Yeah. Thanks for inviting me.

Hey, do you wanna keep hanging out?

We could go back to my place

I live, like, over there.

I think I should, um

I think I should

just go home and go to bed.

Okay.

Just know I'm gonna keep asking.
