Another petrified rat carcass?
Ooh, this creature went all-in
on the morbid decorations. Ugh.
Yeah, we'll bring this to Nick.
If he can take it apart,
then we can figure out
when the entity
was first locked up here.
How did Hannah even know
about this place?
And why'd she release
a supernatural k*ller
and then go off the grid?
Yeah, and not to make this all about me,
but, boy, is this terrible
timing for George Fan.
I could really use Hannah's input
on this knock-off soul-splitter.
I would like to live my whole
life, thank you very much.
But Bess is on that for you, right?
She's been researching stuff?
Yeah, she collected some other artifacts
from Bertram Bobbsey's cache
of black-market relics
from the Civil w*r.
We're pretty sure the soul-splitter is
in his storage locker.
Ace got the key from Amanda.
The place opens in two hours.
Wow, that's promising.
I mean, if we can do this ritual right,
maybe I won't have to die
in ten years after all.
(LOUD THUD)
(WATER DRIPPING)
Uh-uh, not today, you heart-freezing,
hat-wearing son of a...
Ooh! (GASPS)
Whoa.
I've been called worse.
What are you doing down here?
None of my texts are going through.
Yeah, ain't no cell
service in this cell.
We have a slight wrinkle.
Mr. Bobbsey told the cops
about his storage locker,
so if we don't get there first...
No soul-splitter for us.
Okay, change of plans.
New mission.
We b*at the cops to the soul-splitter
and we save George's life today.
♪ ♪
NANCY: That's the
Bobbsey's storage locker
in that building there.
ACE: That was a very short mission.
We're too late. We need a miracle now.
Or a lawyer.
Just the incredibly handy man
I was looking for.
- Hey.
- Okay,
um, so, Nancy is looking for clues
about the supernatural k*ller
who was once imprisoned in this lock.
Can you please examine this thing
- for age, origin, etcetera, etcetera?
- Yeah.
Yeah, ooh, and meanwhile,
George has gone
to Bobbsey's storage locker
with Ace and Nancy to see
about the lead we found.
See? Full disclosure.
Yeah, okay. Uh, this-this lead
you're talking about...
is this the relic
that could untangle
George's soul from Odette's?
That very one.
Meanwhile,
I may have ulterior motives
for being here.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Well, if it isn't the most
interesting woman in the world.
What's on the agenda today?
- Slaying a dragon?
- No, no.
Unfortunately, my dragon-slaying
sword is in the shop.
But I was wondering what your
plans were for dinner tonight.
Tonight?
Um, I'm in.
- Yeah.
- (PHONE VIBRATES)
Sorry. Uh, I have to take this,
but I'll call you later
to figure out the plans.
Hey, yeah, I let Nick know
what you were doing.
Full disclosure, as instructed.
GEORGE: Hold that thought.
How much do you know
about the soul-splitter ritual?
Ah, I mean, I've-I've read a bit,
but I've barely scratched the surface.
Scratch harder, Bess. Today's the day.
What?
The cops are tagging items
from Bobbsey's storage unit.
If we can get our hands
on that soul-splitter,
we'll have to get it back before
anyone knows it's missing.
So, I'm sorry, but that means
Au revoir to Odette today.
Today... Oh.
I don't want to tell Nick
what's going on
until we know what's actually happening.
I don't want to worry him for no reason.
So, can you do the ritual or not?
(SIGHS) Ah.
Yeah. Yeah, of course. We have to try.
Bess is gonna meet us at Nancy's house.
Here comes the rest of the cavalry.
Motion's been filed.
This should keep the police from
going in there any time today.
How much do I want to know
about why this is happening?
NANCY: I...
did something, by accident, to George,
and it caused a life crisis,
and I need to fix it.
With a th-century relic that
Bertram Bobbsey has in storage?
Yeah. Uh, George's life depends on it.
Hey, it's all good. We're here to help.
Thank you.
Thanks.
- Both of... you.
- Yeah,
well, I-I drove him here
because my car is faster,
and he over-brakes.
What? No. Also for moral support.
Why wasn't I informed about this?
- Hey.
- Bertram Bobbsey's case
also concerns my client Asher Davies.
He has a vested interest in the contents
of this storage unit, one that
may conflict with the D.A.'s.
You'll get a full evidence log
in discovery.
No, we have to delay discovery
until there's a third party
on site to monitor this search.
This is your ex parte notice.
I've called for an emergency
injunction hearing this afternoon.
Everyone, stop.
It's all yours, Counselor.
You can put that down.
You know, this could have been
so much easier.
You just had to break up with Amanda.
You couldn't wait one more day?
You broke up with Amanda?
She broke up with me.
I'm sorry. I didn't know.
Problem, Officer?
I was told to clear the area.
Go home, kids.
Especially you, Nancy.
I'm gonna text the dads,
tell 'em to meet us at the house
once they have the relic.
We're sure this is legal, right?
I'm allowed to look at evidence
concerning my client.
And it's not like we're
breaking and entering.
They gave us a key, you let us in.
Here.
This is what we're looking for.
So, how are you gonna
make this up to the D.A.?

- It's, like, I know you're into her.
What?
No, I'm not. We're sharing information
- on a case. That's all.
- Okay.
Right. I saw the way you looked at her.
Can we maybe not have this conversation?
Please?

Why am I wearing this?
I do not know, bro. You shouldn't be.
Hold that.
No. No. No.

I think I like this much better.
- Oh, dude, that's you.
- Right?
Oh.
Oh, sweet.
(LAUGHING)
Let's take it for a spin.
BESS: So, I've studied the ritual.
Even though the soul-splitter
wasn't actually designed
for the purpose of soul untangling...
Oh, just tell me that you can do it.
I can do it. Yes.
- Where's the soul-splitter?
- ACE: It's on its way.
Yeah, Carson and Ryan
are bringing it here.
And they totally know
how important this is.
- Totally.
- Totally.
(WHOOPING)
BOTH: Yeah!
(ENGINE REVVING)
Yes! I found a beetle.
Um, does it have to be beetles?
'Cause... all those legs.
Well, the potion is very specific.
It causes your soul to more
easily separate from your body.
Now, you need to take this an
hour before we start the ritual.
When the device starts working,
your soul and Odette's
will be stored in this crystal here.
Then we will use the soul-splitter
to separate the souls in the crystal.
And then we'll only put
yours back into your body.
Ryan and Carson
should be here any minute
with the relic.
As long as we finish
this ritual by sundown,
all should be fine.
- That is, if you're still sure about this.
- Bess, I'm a...
- (WHIRRING)
- Oh, sorry, sorry. Yeah?
I am a , % sure
that I want to live, okay?
For Nick, for my sisters,
but mostly for myself.
This could be my only chance.
You want me to trust you,
Woman in White?
I'm trusting you.
Let's do this.

without the cable thing.
But your body will still be alive.

you know, no phone, no Internet.
Just six months on the Appalachian Trail
and I just really got my head right.
(EXHALES) Wow.
What'd your walkabout look like?
Uh...
um, well, um...
I came to Horseshoe Bay
to say thank you to my social worker,
who happened to be Nancy's
mom, and it turned out
that, um...
- she'd passed.
- Oh.
And I, um, tried to reconnect
with an old friend
that helped me, but she also d*ed.
Uh, I dated Nancy for a while,
but then we broke up and...
I bought the Claw and I got into
a relationship with George,
and then I bought
a couple more buildings,
and then I started
this youth center and...
That is ten different journeys.
Which one do you think
helped you process your trauma?
I'm not sure.
You know, you just, um...
you just...
wake up one day and it's like,
okay.
This is my life.

Okay.
Sentinels of the world beyond, grant us
passage to the realm of souls.
Where there was one, now two reside.
I offer myself as conduit
for your power, that I might
withdraw the entangled souls
and return them
to their rightful place.
Does that mean it's working?
That's the first step.
Now both George's
and Odette's souls are out.
How do we know that...
th-that's George's soul?
- Or Odette's?
- The book says that
the brightest light will be the-the soul
that belongs to the body.
The softer, fainter light will be
the unwanted inhabiter.
Odette's soul.
Hey, we got to keep going.
What's next?
Okay. (SNIFFLES)
Um, now we need to, uh, split
the crystal at the mid-point,
and separate the souls.
We'll put George's back
into her body while Odette's
- will remain in her half of the crystal.
- Okay.
Okay.
(EXHALES)
Now to return George's soul
back into her body.
Soul once lost has now been found,
no longer tangled
in the web of the void.
We now return you, soul,
to your rightful place.

- (GASPING) George!
Was that...
What?
- Why is the light back in the crystal?
- I-I don't know. It...
it's not working. No.
GEORGE: Hey, it's George.
Leave a short message.
- (BEEP)
- Hey, uh, so, I sent
pics of the lock Nancy was
asking about to the group.
I'm just checking that you got them.
And, um...
I just wanted to hear your voice.
But we can talk later.
Are you sure that you did it right?
No. Obviously, I'm not sure.
I've never actually done
a soul exorcism before.
Besides, the ritual was meant
for the original type of soul-splitter,
not Beckett Dow's specialty version.
- Did you say Beckett Dow?
- Yeah, he's the metalsmith
that made this device in the Civil w*r.
His initials are on the soul-splitter.
B.D.... Beckett Dow.
Oh, my God, yeah.
He-he must've been the locksmith
that made the lock
for the underground cage.
There were some things down in
the cage I didn't get a chance
- to look through, so maybe there's something about
- Great.
- the soul-splitter in there?
- Yeah, yeah.
It's choking me.
It's not choking you.
You just don't like it.
I had to wear one for my Bar Mitzvah.
I hated it, too, but you look great.
- You don't need a tie, bro.
- You definitely need a tie.
You need to convince this judge to delay
the storage locker search
until tomorrow.
We'll put the soul-splitter
back later tonight.

Beckett Dow's soul-splitter was designed
to split one soul into multiple pieces.
It was not designed to disentangle
two souls from each other.
Okay, so how do we fix this?
Well, in order to complete the ritual,
only George's soul can be present.
That means we need to destroy
the other crystal.
Wait, hold on, hold on. Destroy?
No, no, no, Odette is in here.
Maybe "destroy" meant

"Destroy" means "destroy".

I knew she was... still there, somehow.
Could there not be a way
to keep Odette with me, so that maybe
one day, she could live the
life that she was meant to?
A-A life that we could live together?
You don't want to say goodbye.
- No.
- I get it.
After my mom d*ed...
... there were moments where I
could've sworn she was visiting.
You know, she was leaving me
little signs.
At least, that's how I took it.
You know, my favorite movie
would come on TV
or some song would play on the radio
or someone I cared about
would call me out of the blue.
And I liked to think that...
that she was trying
to tell me that it was okay
for me to feel happiness again.
It's different.
Is it? 'Cause Odette
wants you to be happy.
And she wants
George to live a full life.
And none of that can happen
if you don't help Odette
move on to peace.
How do we know that peace
is where they're going?
Do you ever have doubts?
NANCY: No.
After everything that I have seen...
... I don't doubt anymore.
(SNIFFLES)
I just always feel
like I'm saying goodbye.
Goodbye doesn't mean
you're gonna be alone.
(SOBBING)
George?
Oh, my God, George! Oh, my God.
How are you feeling?
Like myself again.
Hey, thank you.

Hey Mom, it's me. Finished
the kugel, it was really good.
Perfect noodle to raisin ratio.
Also, I just
wanted to say sorry
that my choices have been...
questionable lately.
And also sorry for all the times
that I missed curfew,
and I... I didn't listen, and...
also sorry for the time
that I lost the car keys
in the supermarket parking lot.
Okay, uh, I love you.
I'll see you Friday.
If you're looking for more
whipped cream, the answer's no.
- That was the last can.
- Oh, no, no, God, no.
I don't want any more of that stuff.
(EXHALES)
I don't know what came over me.
You don't crave whipped cream?
No.
- Mr. D, you're back!
- Hey, guys,
guys, guys, please,
can you stop talking?
My head is k*lling...
Ow! Why do I feel like...
I have whiplash.
Do you guys remember anything?
Oh, no. Jean.
Okay, it's gonna be okay.
The way I see it, you got two options.
You can pretend like it never happened.
You can hope that she
never mentions it.
Or you can own it,
- and, uh...
- Yeah, no.
I got to go see her. I got to go.
Um, can you, uh...
can you get Ryan home?
Yeah, no problem.
I promise your story
will not be forgotten.
(SNIFFLING)
The world will know
about the life of Odette Lamar.
(CHUCKLES)
Nancy says this is where
the lilacs bloom in the spring.
Your favorite.
You okay?
No.
I completely lost it back there.
I don't know what I was thinking,
running away like that.
George is gonna k*ll me
when she finds out what I did.
I think that the only thing
George needs to know...
... is that you saved her life.
Yeah?
- (KNOCKING)
- Okay.
I'll, uh, I'll be right back.
That's probably just
our phantom knocker again.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY)
Odette, please, give me a sign.
Let me know you made it to peace.
(GATE CREAKS OPEN)
Let me know I did the right thing.
Hey.
Hey!
What are you doing here?
I was just dropping off
Mr. Drew's jacket.
He left it at the Youth Center.
- I didn't know you were here.
- Yeah.
- Here I am.
- NANCY: Uh,
I'm just gonna give you two a minute.
Thanks.
(WHISPERS): Thanks, Odette.
What?
Look, I'm...
I'm really sorry about earlier today.
I... I fully intended
to take you on a second date.
But then your ex came
back into town and...
Look, I get it, okay?
No.
No, you don't.
There was someone,
but we've both moved on.
So I'm asking you now
if I can take you to dinner.
A proper date.
A meal, with conversation.
And perhaps dessert.
Just take things slow.
Actual conversation.
And I get to pick the restaurant.
Okay? Nothing fancy.
I'm in.
(KNOCKS)
Hi.
Hi.
Looks like you're feeling better.
I am. Much better,
- actually.
- Good.
I want to apologize for
coming by like that earlier.
I wasn't myself.
Or, at least...
not my best self.
Apology accepted.
It seemed like you had
something pretty important
to tell me.
Actually, I did.
The truth is...
I like you, Jean.
I think you're incredible and smart
and... beautiful.
And being around you,
frankly, makes me feel like
I'm a kid again.
- Oh.
- But if you don't
feel the same way,
then that will not at all...
impact our working relationship.
Your professional and
your personal integrity
has always been above reproach,
and mine will be, too.
What you, uh, just said
now, and-and... (CHUCKLES)
what you said earlier...
It's really refreshing to have
a grown man be so honest
about how he feels.
You-you were being honest,
- just to clarify?
- I was.
And... and... I am.
Well, then based
on what you said earlier,
uh, that would mean that
right now your heart is racing?
Yes. That's correct.
And therefore isn't it true
that there was something
you were wondering about?
Also correct.
Is it possible you were wondering
what this would be like?

I'm not sure
what the return policy is on
that thing, but we could try.
You know what?
I think I might keep it.
Yeah, it sounds funny, but...
I always used to tell Lucy that I wanted
to play guitar someday, but...
my parents wouldn't let me, so,
I guess now's my chance.
Right on.
I don't know, it's like,
spending time with Nancy...
rubs off on you.
She's so passionate about everything.
Makes you want to be
a better person, I guess.
You know what I mean?
Yeah. Yeah, I do.
George. Well, don't you look different.
- Very refreshed.
- Like I could live forever.
Welcome back.
Aw!
Here, sit.
Bess...
I know you had to let go of Odette.
I'm really, really sorry.
It's okay.
She... she's at peace now.
And, hey, you're okay.
So that's all that matters.
Thank you.
Hey, here's a question.
What are you gonna do
with the rest of your life?
The rest of my life. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
I-I don't know.
I-I don't know. Everything?
It's just the only thing
I can think about right now
is how I can't wait to tell Nick.
Well, Ace is on his way
to pick him up now.
Which means he will be here any minute.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
I tried calling him earlier,
but I got his voice mail, so...
I don't know. Let me try him again.
(LINE RINGING)
ACE: Hey, George.
Ace? Why are you answering Nick's phone?
Are you guys on the way? Put him on.
I can't.
Just got to his place.
His phone's here, but I didn't see
his truck outside. There's no note,
no nothing.
Nick's gone.
