What am I gonna tell Brooke when she wakes up? You can start by telling her she's not really your girlfriend.
I hadn't thought about that.
Hey you're doing the right thing.
We should start writing down the instructions.
All right.
sh**t.
What? I can't find your marker.
I must have dropped it.
No no.
What if I dropped it in Marcus's room? Hey.
It's okay.
Marcus wouldn't notice an alien sitting on this table.
I feel so stupid.
Oh, good.
Here comes the researcher.
Jackie, I swear, I did not tell Michelle to talk to you.
Really? She just had a hunch? I have no idea where she got the information from.
Maybe Michelle tricked you.
Maybe she was using the workshop as an excuse to get to Jackie.
And I fell for it.
I'm out of here, you realize that? No one was supposed to know about the plea bargain.
Michelle is gonna air the interview.
Everyone will find out and then I'm out of here.
I kid you not.
She actually said, "I robbed a bank.
"
- It's a full
-on confession!
- Michelle! Hey!
- I'll call you back.
- Michelle! Hi, Sophie! Oh, my gosh.
I'm so glad I caught you before you left.
I didn't get a chance to say thank you.
You are my role model.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Thank you so much.
I mean, those questions that you asked Jackie How did you get that information? I have my sources, as they say.
Wow.
This information must be restricted.
How do you convince a source to give that to you? Let's just say it helps having courtside tickets for the playoffs.
I don't understand.
You are so cute, Sophie.
There is this court clerk and he's a die
-hard Clippers fan.
Every time he gives us information, he gets tickets.
Simple.
Wait.
But isn't that called a bribe? It's called getting the story, kid.
- Okay.
- Okay.
So So, I have to do whatever it takes, because the story is the most important thing, right?
- Always.
- Hmm, interesting.
There is this court clerk
- and he's a die
-hard Clippers fan.
- What are you doing?
- Every time he gives us
- It's called getting the story.
That's very funny.
Delete it.
You give me Jackie's video and I won't send this to the LAPD.
You wouldn't dare.
Try me.
Like I said, you're my role model.
Jackie, wait! Look, this is Michelle's video, okay? Feel free to destroy it.
"The subject has to be calm and to have familiar objects around them.
"
- Okay.
- What calms Brooke down? You must know.
Um Oh, I know.
Oreo.
It's her favorite teddy bear.
She has a teddy bear? Well it's actually a panda bear.
Oh.
I can stop by Louis's house to go get it.
Okay.
What else? Uh she likes massages.
Way too much information.
Okay, look.
It says here that we also need a hypnotic spiral.
Really? I thought that stuff was only used in old sci
-fi movies.
Where do we even find one? I know.
Max!
- Sure we can trust him?
- Absolutely.
I'll ask Max and Jackie.
They make a great team.
You sure? All right.
Well, then, we gotta do this quick.
You find Max, I'll find Louis, all right? Okay.
Okay.
Think I should give her a massage? She likes neck massages when she's stressed out about school.
Like this.
I can't believe Sophie gave her all my personal information.
Yeah, all she had to do was say, "Call Parker up on the stage and he'll make a fool of himself.
" You're a real comedian, Seth.
You see? He's not here.
I bet he's with my sister.
Oh, come on.
Will you stop it? Those two can't stand each other.
You've got some nerve showing your face here.
I did nothing wrong.
That was really low of you, Sophie.
Hey! It wasn't Sophie's fault.
Michelle's the one who played us.
Well, give us a second to take pity on Sophie.
The second's over.
Just forget them.
- They're not worth your trouble.
- Yeah.
Thanks.
Hello.
Hold on to your wallets, guys.
What are you doing here? I know you guys are mad at Sophie, which is why I'm here.
That reporter was after me the whole time.
The workshop was a set
-up.
She was gonna air my interview, which could have landed me back in jail.
I don't know how, but Sophie managed to get Michelle to change her mind.
Your captain saved me.
I really thought you guys should know that.
If only you cared that much about the Eagles, Soph.
A spiral? Are you serious? Yes.
Just follow these instructions.
- Are you sure this is gonna work?
- I'm sure you'll make it work, Max.
No one can know about this besides the two of you.
It's only the three of us.
The three of us and Daniel.
May I? If anything, I should be the one to be angry at you, since you're the one who broke up with me in front of the entire school.
What can I say, Aspen? You really pushed me over the edge.
Okay, I guess I did.
And I'm sorry.
What are we gonna do about Marcus and Judy? First, let's wake up Brooke.
That's our top priority.
I can't believe we're going through all this effort for that diva.
Jackie! We'll do it.
Okay, look, I don't want anyone to get suspicious.
You guys go first, then I'll leave after.
There's something I have to show you.
- It's about Hayley.
- I'm not gonna talk to you about her.
What's going on, Woods? Sorry, I have to go.
Give it up.
She's just not into you.
And I have proof.
You're the one that needs to give it up, Aspen.
Great.
Please don't tell her I took him.
It's a surprise.
What are you doing, exactly? I, um I'm gonna take a picture of him.
Yeah.
I'm making a Snapchat account for Oreo to surprise Brooke.
Oh.
Well, I guess today, even a stuffed bear gets a Snapchat account.
Yep.
Thank you.
I mean, did you see the way that she looked at me? It was like I was talking to a completely different person.
- Hmm, sounds familiar.
- What? What is going on with her? What is it? It's nothing.
Aspen just sent me something for my blog.
Aspen? What does she want? You're not gonna like this.
I knew it.
I guess I should've believed you sooner.
What is going on in this place? Seriously, everyone has lost it.
Yeah.
Which is why I'm deleting this right now.
That's not the kind of news I wanna deal with anymore.
How does it work anyway? Theoretically, we could have used infrared technology, but that would cost tons of money for the same effect, which induces brainwave synchronization that causes the EEG frequency to change to a dominant external stimulus Max, you lost me at "theoretically.
" Our brains love patterns.
If Hayley and Daniel can get Brooke to focus on this binaural spiral, she'll be more receptive to hypnotic suggestion.
Oh, so she can go back to her normal, totally unpleasant and stuck
-up self again.
Exactly.
What? Yes! It fits! That is the best binaural twisty thing I've ever seen.
We should text Hayley to tell her it's ready.
Don't you think it's ready? Jackie?
- Can you hear me?
- Yes, Master.
Oh, no.
No, no, no, no.
Jackie? Jackie, I need you to just listen to the sound of my voice.
Don't look at the spiral.
Look at me.
- You're okay.
- Master Max.
No, Jackie, stop saying that.
Please stop saying that.
Please stop looking at the spiral and look at me.
I obey your every command.
Jackie, please stop it.
Please stop it.
How can this happening? This can't be happening.
Jackie! Not funny! Not funny, Jackie.
What am I gonna do with you, Maximilian? Not funny.
This is too much.
It's too much.
I mean, isn't it enough Judy's on my case? Now I have to deal with your daughter too? She's gonna ruin my plan.
Do you know how dangerous it is for me to have you hidden in here? If anyone discovers you, we're both dead! I just want a little peace.
That's all.
Ta
-da! Wow.
How did they make that in 30 minutes? They're Ravens.
What can I say? Did you text her? Yup.
She should be here any minute.
So, um, do you think this place is relaxing enough? Can you turn that awful song off? I thought girls liked this song.
Not all girls.
Okay.
I think I should go.
I don't think my presence will keep her calm.
Yeah, you do have that effect on people.
Jeez.
You know, um I don't I don't think I've ever been this tense.
Hey, I know.
I don't envy her, either.
It must be awful to find out that you've spent this whole time living a lie.
She'll probably never wanna see my face again.
That's a possibility.
How did she get this? Did she follow us? Do you think Brooke saw this yet?
- Now I really should go.
- Yeah.
What's the deal?
- Is this photo real?
- Babe, I can explain.
Is that Oreo? Wait, what's going on? Look, please calm down.
I'll explain everything.
Well, I already know everything.
You two are together.
No, we're not together.
Don't lie to me, Daniel.
- I'm not lying to you.
- It's not what you think.
What is it, then? Brooke this is gonna sound very weird.
What is it? We think you've been brainwashed.
I'm out of here.
- Brooke!
- Daniel, wait.
Let me talk to her.
Brooke, listen to me.
Brainwash? That's the best you could come up with? I know it sounds silly, but it's true.
You've been hypnotized.
I don't know what you're talking about.
A person who's been hypnotized isn't aware of any change.
Nothing's changed.
How can you not see the truth? How can you not see that this is what's happening? Why are you back with Daniel when you two were always arguing? You were suspicious of Daniel's mom and now you're her best friend.
You were getting close to my brother and then you dumped him to go back with Daniel.
Your personality changed overnight.
We're here to bring you back.
Brooke, you're gonna be absolutely fine.
Okay? Just have a seat.
All right.
Uh I brought Oreo.
You're gonna be okay, I promise.
You ready? Hey, Woods.
So, I figured something out.
I don't have time for this, Leo.
There's two explanations for that photo.
Either you guys are together or you're hiding something else.
Or there's a third option, where I don't owe you any explanations.
You can't avoid me forever, Woods.
Okay.
Yeah.
Congratulations, you figured it out.
Daniel and I are together.
And I'm crazy about him.
I didn't want it to go public this way, but hey, it did.
Now I gotta go.
- How could you do this to me?
- Hey, Alex.
I had a feeling something was going on between you two, but I thought, "There's no way.
There's no way she could do that to me.
" Do that to you? This guy has been making my life miserable since I set foot in here.
Alex, please calm down.
It's not what it looks like.
I'm not gonna be calm about this, Hayley.
I have to go.
Let me guess a message from Daniel? Alex, I'll explain everything later.
I promise.
Brooke, wake up.
Please, wake up.
Brooke!
- Brooke.
- What happened? I don't know! I did everything the book said I should do.
- Brooke! Brooke, wake up.
Brooke.
- Brooke, please.
Brooke.
Okay.
Listen to this.
"Sometimes, the hypnotized patient is dependent on a key word, without which he may develop symptoms of catatonic shock.
" So we need a key word to wake her up.
Okay.
Um, Marcus.
Greenhouse! Eagles! It can't be an everyday word.
Mississippi! Massachusetts! We're screwed.
We're screwed.
Uh, canned food.
Why didn't you answer my message, Marcus? What's this? Uh, just making final calculations.
Everything okay, Marcus? You look even more nervous than usual.
You okay, Max? You look even more nervous than usual.
We haven't heard from Hayley yet.
That's not a good sign.
She's taking too long.
Relax, Max.
Hypnosis can be very dangerous, Jackie.
Very dangerous.
Some people don't come out of that state.
I can always count on you to cheer me up.
We should tell Jason.
No way.
If what Hayley and Daniel said about Brooke really happened, we don't know who we can trust, including Jason.
What does that mean? If Marcus is involved, how do we know who isn't? What are you doing? I don't know, maybe something will catch her eye.
Okay.
What is she doing? What is this? Brooke.
Brooke, calm down!
- Brooke.
- Brooke.
Brooke.
I don't know.
So you're saying I can't trust anyone? You can trust me, you know? Well, I trusted Emma, and she disappeared.
I promise you I will not disappear.
Wait.
Are you certain Jason sent back Emma's chess set? Why? Do you think he didn't? Wait here.
Don't move.
Hey, um, did you send Okay, thanks.
So he said he never got a package to deliver to Emma.
And he's been the only delivery guy for the past two months.
I don't I don't understand.
What does that mean? It means Jason lied to you.
He never sent Emma anything.
Hey, Brooke, wake up.
Calm down.
- Brooke, please calm down!
- Continue reading! Brooke!
- Brooke, it's Hayley.
Brooke!
- It doesn't say anything about this! Everything's okay.
- Daniel, what just happened?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Brooke!
- Hey! Hey! Brooke, wake up!
- Brooke!
- What did we do to her? We have to tell Louis.
What? No, no.
No way.
We can't tell Louis.
He's her father.
You know we don't have any other choice.
It's the only way we can wake her up, Daniel.
But why would Jason lie to us? Maybe because he didn't want us to find the chess set.
Why? Remember when Emma fell off the climbing wall? It was right after Jason visited our class.
She also ran off on me at the fashion show during the harvest fair.
She seemed really stressed out.
I thought it was because of me.
And who took Emma away from our dance? Jason.
Max, why didn't we think of this before? Maybe we're just paranoid? Maybe we're not paranoid enough.
"Hey, Louis.
We were trying to dehypnotize your daughter and ended up leaving her in catatonic shock.
" You know Louis will expel us? Yeah, I know.
These could be our last few moments at the Greenhouse.
Hey!
- What are you doing here?
- I'm on my way to see Louis.
Come on.
Give me some credit.
I know you two are up to something and Louis deserves to know about it.
I told you, we're together.
I know you're not really together.
You'd never go out with this jerk.
I see.
Well, that worked.
Yeah.
Okay.
"The word you are looking for is 'Eureka.
'" Look, I don't know, Hayley.
How do we know it's from him? I don't want to make her worse.
"The word you're looking for" Who else besides Marcus could have sent this? Eureka.
