Previously on Yellowjackets...

We're out of food.

If we want to eat, one of
you is gonna have to learn

- how to use this thing.
- So the rest of us are relying on you two,

which means you need
to rely on each other.

- Just breathe.
- [g*nsh*t]

[MISTY] The coroner ruled it a su1c1de.

[NATALIE] Travis didn't
f*cking k*ll himself,

and I'm gonna find out who did.

I know a guy who can probably get us
into Travis' email.

I don't need you.

Yeah, but, Nat...

- Go the f*ck home.
- I'm his wife.

He just hasn't texted
me the room number yet.

Why are you here, Adam?

I was just getting a drink,

but, actually, I'm
starting to think maybe

something out there has other ideas.

- [MISTY] It's Misty.
- I told you to never call me.

Travis is dead.

[TAISSA SIGHS]

If Rafelson takes a shine to me tonight,

her money, her influence,

she could turn everything around.

Tell me, what really happened out there?

Go f*ck yourself.

[LOTTIE] I think bad
things happened here.

Come here! Look!

[WHIRRING]

I just have a bad
feeling about this place.

[TAISSA] A bad feeling?

I don't believe in that sh*t.

[GIRLS PANTING]

- What happened?
- I don't know.

Has hitting something ever fixed it?

M-maybe try blowing on it?

[BLOWS]

[CREAKING]

Uh, the f*ck was that?

- Hey, you heard it, too?
- It was probably just a branch.

Inside, on the floor?

- [SIGHS]
- What if it's... him?

What, the dead guy?

Um, yeah.

You know what it probably was?

The dead guy's missing fingers

- trying to find their way home.
- [JEERING]

Nat.

You really have to encourage them?

You got to admit, it didn't
sound like it was on the roof.

[JACKIE] Fine, then it was a rat,

or a raccoon, or something.
I don't know, it...

Shh!

Oh, my God.

Listen.

- Well, I don't hear it now.
- [TAISSA] See?

[BEN] All right, all right.

You know what I think it was?

I think the ghost decided it
was time to get some sleep.

And we should probably
do the same, yeah?

- Yeah.
- Yeah, I don't know.

Do you understand?

[NATALIE] Jackie.

- [GROANS]
- Jackie.

- [GROANS LOUDER]
- Up and at 'em, or something.

f*ck.

[SIGHING HEAVILY]

Hey, need a hand?

[SIGHS] No, it's okay.

I got it.

Why are you so chipper?

Don't you have a blood sacrifice
between your legs like the rest of us?

Um, I'm late this month.

Uh, we were in a plane crash.
It's probably just stress.

Well, lucky you're a virgin
or we'd really have to worry.

[CHUCKLES]

Anyway, enjoy it while
it lasts, I guess.

This rag situation is
a f*cking horror show.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[PHONE KEYS CLICKING]

No worries.

I'm trying to cut back on carbs anyway.

Oh, sh*t.

Hey, if you see an Uber
pre-auth on your account tonight,

don't cancel it.

I'm going into the
city with Cleo and Linh.

I'm sorry, did you mean to
phrase that as a question?

Uh... no.

You're not going into
the city for Halloween.

I know.

It's heartless how I take
an interest in your safety.

My safety? I'm sorry my idea
of a good time doesn't involve

sitting on the porch in
some ' s character costume

that nobody even recognizes.

The people who matter
recognize Daria, okay?

And besides, I'm not gonna be the
one handing out the candy, you are.

My, uh, book club is meeting tonight.

Wow. Halloween for the ages.

But, hey, it's a good thing you're doing

all that lame stuff now,
it'll free up so much time

during your retirement. Bye.

You shouldn't be so hard on her.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't
be so hard on her?

Our daughter is an assh*le.

You let her get under your skin.

Why do you do that?

Well, you let her do whatever she wants.

I don't understand why I'm
the only one in this family

who thinks that actions
should have consequences.

Okay.

Do you really need to do
this book club thing tonight?

Yeah, Jeff. I-I do have to go.

Hey, why don't we go together?

Make it like a date.

- [SETS MUG DOWN]
- To book club?

Yeah.

You haven't done the reading.

What's it about? Lay it on me.

We're reading The Girl
in the... Train Window.

And... [SIGHS] ... you know, really,

I'm just going to avoid the
side-eye from the other moms.

It's-it's basically the opposite
of-of a... sausage fest, so...

[JEFF] Hmm.

- A clambake...
- Don't.

- You don't need to. Mm.
- All right. All right.

I guess I can, uh, appease the local
goblin community alone this year.

Okay.

Bye.

[NARRATOR ON TV] Washington State

is the hottest UFO
hotspot in the nation.

The number of UFO sightings
here has increased dramatically.

[CHATTER CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY]

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Mm. Hey.

Hey. I'm glad I caught you.

I, uh, I got the file on Travis.

- You did?
- Yeah.

And the toxicology
report, it's... it's clean.

He wasn't on anything, Nat.

- [SIGHS]
- I know that doesn't make it

any less of a... of a tragedy,

but, uh, I hope it'll
help you rest easier.

Yeah, it will.

Thanks. I owe you one.

Well, in that case, um...

Look, uh... [SIGHS]
... if my timing's off,

don't even worry about it,

but, um...

if you ever want to hang out again or...

Hey, Kev, I'm getting another call,

so, uh, I'll talk to
you later, okay? Bye.

[SIGHS] Hello?

Didn't you say you knew a guy

who could break into people's email?

Who is this, please?

What is your problem?

It's a simple question.

I haven't heard an apology yet.

[SCOFFS]

But in light of everything
you've been through,

I will forgive you.

In terms of my contact,
I'll reach out to them.

Who're we hacking?

Kevyn.

He got the whole file on Travis's death,

but as far as he knows it's su1c1de,

so I can't exactly ask him for it.

Consider it done.

[GIRL] Come on.

It smells bad in there.

That's just antiseptic. Come on in.

This place is really boring.

But was there something you
wanted to ask Mrs. Petersen?

- Trick or treat.
- Trick or treat.

Here you go.

[BEEPING DRONES]

- Come and help us!

- [TAISSA GROANS SOFTLY]

- Oh, no. It's fine.

[AXE CLATTERS]

Yeah.

I'll talk to you later.

Yeah. Thanks.

That bad?

[CHUCKLES]

I'm trailing by
points in the suburbs.

Even here, I'm nowhere near Bathurst.

f*ck.

Why couldn't I just smile
and kiss Diane Rafelson's

- rich, old liberal ass?
- [CHUCKLES]

Well, you've never been good

at being anything other than yourself.

Honestly, it's your superpower.

Are you trying to get in my pants?

- [CHUCKLES] Always.
- Mm.

Call me when you're ready to
shake Misty down for Motrin.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Ugh! These batteries.

f*cking cocksucker.

[JACKIE SIGHS]

- Come on.
- What the hell?

You're coming with me.

Let's go. Come on.

Ow.

You have to push it harder.

- I am pushing.
- No, you're not.

You have to push till it pops.

- Like this.
- [BONE POPS]

Oh, gross. Ew.

It's not that hard. It's
like shucking an oyster.

Yeah, I'm not doing that.

Well, then I don't know how to help you,

but you can't keep not pitching in.

People are noticing, Jackie.

Why am I the only one not getting off

on this boring
back-to-the-land bullshit?

I suck at this stuff, and I know that.

And I don't belong here,

and I don't know how much
longer I can keep doing this.

Remember when Kiffy
Schumacher broke her arm

right before we were supposed
to go to WhipSplash River?

And you told her that if
she shared her Percocet,

we'd all crash bingo at
the Elks Lodge instead?

[SCOFFS] Yeah.

Wait, is this a pep talk?

- [LAUGHS] Oh, wowza, Shipman.
- [CHUCKLES]

Wow, that is so not your style.

- Tell me about it.
- Mm.

Cheering people up is your thing.

I'm better at...

Making people feel judged?

Ooh, cutting up dead things?

Wow. Thanks.

[CHUCKLES] I'm kidding.

Besides, you're kind of
turning into a badass out here.

You taught me how to
be like this, you know.

I mean, you make people feel
like things are gonna be okay

just by showing up and...

being your dumb, hot, awesome self.

At least you always did that for me.

Thanks.

I'm still not putting a Kn*fe
through a f*cking deer knee.

[CHUCKLES] Fine.

But still, we... we need you, Jackie.

Here.

I mean, you're basically the best.

Remember?

- Yeah.
- [CHUCKLES]

- [LAUGHTER]
- Ooh.

Whoa, Samwich, what'd we say?

Five pieces. Can I have six?

Including this one that
you had in your hand?

[SAMMY] I don't know how that got there.

[SIMONE] Uh-huh. Hey.

Remember, no candy for the dog.

Speaking of truth...

Maybe it's about time you "spill"

on your opponent's junkie daughter.

Whatever happened to not going low?

Yeah, well, when these
nutjobs come to my house,

- I'm less magnanimous.
- No, the c...

The contractor is sending someone

- to paint over it tomorrow.
- [SIGHS HEAVILY]

- [SIMONE] Mm-hmm.
- Arms up.

[EXHALES]

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]

[LIVELY CHATTER]

If you'd warned me we were gonna
be coming to a place this cool,

I would've just, like,
worn a sheet over my head.

Well, you could have,
but wearing a mask is

more conducive to not
bumping into walls.

They're all just so
young, and-and so, um...

- naked.
- Oh, stop.

Hey, you're the most
beautiful person here.

Anyway, this was, like,
every other weekend at Pratt.

Art students will use any
excuse to take their clothes off.

Mm.

That must have been
very educational for you.

- [SCOFFS]
- No comment.

- [LAUGHS]
- Shall we?

[SHAUNA SIGHS]

I feel like I just look like I fell off

a Fifty Shades of Grey bus tour.

You don't have to if you don't want to.

Okay. I don't think I want to.

Okay.

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]

- [ADAM] Hey, thanks.
- [SHAUNA] Thank you.

- [BIRDS CHIRPING]
- [PANTING SOFTLY]

[GROANS] Nothing.

Ah, giving up makes sense.

You're too far behind to ever catch up.

It's not my fault your lady blood

is scaring all the prey away.

- [CLEARS THROAT]
- [LAUGHS]

Wow.

- Oh, you went there.
- Went there?

I am surrounded on all sides.

That cabin is, like, the blood hive.

[SCOFFS] What's the matter, Travis?

Are you scared of our menses?

I never said that. [CLEARS THROAT]

Anyway, shouldn't the smell
of blood attract animals?

Uh, predators, maybe.

But didn't hunter-gatherer
tribes used to make their women,

like, hide in huts or whatever
when they were on their periods?

I'm confused now.

Are you a zoologist
or an anthropologist?

[CHUCKLES]

I'm pretty sure it was so
they wouldn't ruin the hunt.

More like 'cause men needed something

to blame their failures on.

[NATALIE] Ouch.

I guess that hasn't changed.

[g*nsh*t]

[g*n CLICKS]

[TRAVIS] What was that about

me not catching up to you?

[LAUGHS SOFTLY]

[SOFT, TRANQUIL MUSIC]

[KNOCKING RHYTHMICALLY]

I told you we didn't need a code.

I've got good news and bad news.

Which one is this?

No, open it.

It's an aroma diffuser.

Ylang-ylang, with a hint of gardenia.

Subtropical florals are
very, very uplifting.

Good to know. What's the bad news?

Well, uh, my contact
can access the files,

but he's being a bit of a D-bag.

Who is this person, exactly?

We only know each other by our
Citizen Detective chat handles.

He's mad at me because I didn't tell him

that he was stealing a police file,

so now he wants to meet in public

to "discuss" the terms of the exchange.

Oh, we'll meet all right. [CHUCKLES]

[DARK, SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

What's that?

Maybe you should tell us.
We found it in your room.

What do you mean, "no"?

Sammy, you painted a
word on our front door.

You want to tell us why?

[SIMONE] Sweetheart, we promise

we won't get angry with you.

You just need to tell
us the truth, okay?

I didn't paint the word.

Sammy, please.

The bad one did it.
The lady in the tree.

And did the lady in the tree
also put the paint under your bed?

Sammy, you know there isn't any lady.

Please stop lying to us.

I'm not lying.

[GASPING]

[SIMONE] Baby, wait up.

[MISTY] Is this gonna work?

I mean, most restaurants

won't let you bring in
drinks or food or anything.

I don't know, Misty. You tell me.

I've still got that r*fle in the trunk.

Well, I don't know how we'd
get that into the restaurant.

[SIGHS]

[UPBEAT SONG PLAYING ON STEREO]

Stallion ?

African Grey?

[CHUCKLES] Yeah, no.

I'm African Grey.

I...

[WHISPERS] I didn't authorize
anyone else to come to this meet.

[WHISPERS] Well, cool
out. I can vouch for her.

Oh, my God. Just tell us what you want.

- I want in.
- On what?

Your operation.

The stiff in this file,

I looked him up, he doesn't exist.

No sh*t, 'cause he's dead.

And he's none of your g*dd*mn business.

So you should give us the file.

What's it worth to you?

[GRUNTS] What the hell?

If the question is, "Is me
lighting your d*ck on fire

and going to jail worth me
getting my hands on that file?"

f*cking try me.

You guys are f*cking crazy. Here.

You should ask that guy out.

You two have so much
in common. [CHUCKLES]

[SCOFFS]

God. Finally.

[BOTH LAUGH]

[SCREAMS IN DISTANCE]

[SIGHS] Jesus Christ.

- What now?
- [STIFLED CHUCKLE]

Get it off, get it off,
get it off, get it off!

Hang on. Hey, hang on. Hey.

- Get it off me.
- What... Get what off?

I don't know.

I-I was standing under the trapdoor.

I don't see anything.

- [MARI] But something crawled down my shirt.
- It's fine. There's nothing there. Mari.

- There's nothing there.
- I don't see anything.

It's fine.

Must have been the ghost.

Don't say that.

Wh... You guys. [GASPS]

Okay, you guys, I just had a brainstorm.

We should have a seance.

[CHUCKLES] That's a terrible idea.

Also, we're not in middle school.

But remember how fun
this sh*t used to be?

Besides, maybe if we can laugh
about this, then it would help.

The occult is no laughing matter.

It's not the occult,
Laura Lee. It's a game.

Come on, Shauna, tell
them. It'll be fun.

Um...

well, I mean, it's not like
we have anything better to do.

And maybe this dead guy can
give us some life advice.

- [LAUGHTER]
- [VAN] Okay.

So, it's settled.

Tonight, the attic.

- We make contact.

This is so wrong.

Travis didn't believe
in any of this sh*t.

Then why is it in the
place where he d*ed?

I don't know, but I promise you,

he did not put it there.

So...

... was that your lover?

- Um, okay. I-I...
- He was pretty hot.

Though you-you do have

that whole Yellowjackets
thing going for you.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz," right?

As a matter of fact, Callie,

he doesn't know anything about that.

[LAUGHS]

- That's funny?
- Mom.

Come on. Does he know your name?

Does he have the Internet?

When did you fall out of love with Dad?

It's not that... It's so complicated.

With your dad and me,
there's a lot of baggage.

Baggage. You mean Jackie?

You guys never talk about her.

You know, that was
her uniform, not mine.

Oh, sh*t. I didn't know.

Her parents gave it to me
for her th birthday, um,

so I could remember her.

As if I hadn't spent

the better part of my
life thinking about her

every single day.

God. I'm so sorry, Mom.

It's just, it's just so awful that

[SIGHS] No.

[LAUGHTER]

I'm gonna go see what's so funny.

[LAUGHTER]

[FOOTSTEPS THUDDING]

They're obviously fake.

You really need a
ghost to tell you that?

- [LAUGHTER]
- [MARI] You think?

But who would've paid
for them? Her parents?

I thought I told you to stay downstairs.

Whatever. It's boring.

I think they got divorced recently.

It could've been guilt money.

- Well, that's just creepy.
- "Well, honey,

your mom and I are splitting
up, but don't worry,

'cause your tits are
gonna look amazing."

[LAUGHTER]

Okay. Guys, guys, focus.

Next question.

- Misty?
- [MISTY CHUCKLES]

Um... [CLEARS THROAT]

[EXHALES] Dear spirit,

I need to know the truth.

Does the person I like like me back?

Aww.

- [SOFT LAUGHTER]
- Oh. Okay.

- [WHISTLING, OOHING]
- Yes, Misty.

[LAUGHS]

[LAUGHTER]

[JACKIE] Okay. Next question?

Mm-hmm?

Are we all gonna die out here?

[ATMOSPHERIC, HAUNTING MUSIC]

[SOFT LAUGHTER]

[WIND WHISTLING]

Okay, an eight? What's
that supposed to mean?

It's not an eight. It's an infinity.

[VAN] Yeah, okay, Aristotle.

[SCREAMS]

[SCREAMING, SHOUTING]

Who has the matches?

[LOTTIE HYPERVENTILATING]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[VAN] Guys, something's
really wrong with her.

- [CRYING]
- I... I don't, think she...

It wants... It wants...

Misty, what do we do?

- [LOTTIE] It wants!
- Lottie, I swear to God,

if you're f*cking with us...

[AKILAH] I think she's, like, possessed.

[SHAUNA] Listen,
Lottie. Lottie, sweetie.

what's going on? What is "it"?

More like what does "it" want?

Hungry.

[WHISPERS] Hungry.

[CACKLES]

[SHUSHES]

It's in you already.

Lottie, knock it off. This isn't a game.

[PANTING]

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

Is that French?

Since when does Lottie speak French?

Jackie, w-wasn't she in your class?

Yeah, but she sucks at French.

- Well, what's she saying?
- I don't know, I suck at French, too!

Well, damn it, Jackie, try not to!

[CLAMORING, THUDDING]

[SPEAKING FRENCH] Il
veut toujours du sang.

- Il veut toujours du sang.
- [JACKIE] Uh, "he... he,"

uh... "it, it."

No, it wants... something...

- [SPEAKING FRENCH] Il voulait plus de sang.
- Uh, "blood"?

I-I think she's saying "blood."

[MARI] Not the word I want
to be hearing right now.

[SPEAKING FRENCH] Le sang coule ici.

sh*t. More blood stuff? I don't know.

Here? Here. She's saying "here."

[VAN] There's blood where, Lottie?

You really have to be
encouraging her, Van?

Blood here, or out there?

Coach, do something. Make them stop.

[JACKIE] Lottie, what?

Coach?

[SPEAKING FRENCH] Ici. Il faut...

[PANTING]

You must spill blood.

Or else...

Or else what, Lottie?

[LOTTIE PANTING]

Lottie, what are you...

[GIRLS SCREAMING]

Coach?

- [GASPS]
- [HEAVING]

[MARI] What is happening?

- [WAILS]
- [AKILAH] Lottie!

- [WAILING CONTINUES]
- [BEN PANTING]

[CHOKING]

[LOTTIE CONTINUES WAILING]

[GASPING, PANTING]

[SCREAMING]

[LAURA LEE] The power
of Christ compels you!

Begone, Satan! The power
of Christ compels you!

Lottie!

Lottie, stop!

Ow. What the hell, Laura Lee?

[PANTING]

[MARI] Seriously?

What the motherfuck just happened?

- [CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING]
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Thank you, everyone, for
coming on such short notice.

I, um... [CLEARS THROAT]

Wow, this is hard. [CHUCKLES]

I guess it would be
nice of me to explain

why you all had to wake up so early.

[CHUCKLES]

[ECHOING, DISTORTED] My
opponent, Phil Bathurst...

has waged a worthy campaign, and I trust

will continue to serve
his constituents...

[VOICES FADING]

[DARK, SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

I knew when I started this campaign

that I was getting
into a bloody business,

but I believed it was important.

The people of New Jersey
deserve honest representation.

They deserve a leader with courage.

My opponent Phil Bathurst
has been scaring people

with lurid insinuations,
and his supporters,

well, they're lapping it up.

Yesterday, someone defaced our home

with his disgusting taunt.

Since everyone seems so fixated on this,

here's what I will say about the time

I spent in the wilderness.

It's not sensational,
but it is the truth.

In life, sometimes
we encounter obstacles

that are so enormous
we can only face them

with the help of our community.

And that's as true today in
New Jersey as it was out there.

So here's my commitment to you:

no matter what gets written on my door,

I am staying in this race.

Because together, we can do anything.

I believe that.

[EXHALES]

[TAISSA INHALES SHARPLY]

I've seen it happen.

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- [CHUCKLES]

[DARK, SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[LAURA LEE EXHALES]

[SLOW, SOMBER MUSIC]

- Ben? Is everything o...
- Stop.

[PANTING]

No, don't look for them. Look at me.

You poisoned me.

Why?

That's a very strong word.

- I-I-I was...
- No, Misty.

Why?

I, uh...

You what?

I have these feelings for you, and I...

[PANTING]

I feel the same way you do.

I-I'm sorry that I lost
my temper this morning.

It's just that w-when you
get close to me like that,

it frightens me.

I-I get scared that I...

won't be able to control myself.

[LAUGHS SOFTLY] You
don't have to be scared.

- I would love...
- No, Misty, Misty.

I do.

I mean, you're not even .

Right?

And I'm your teacher.

I just couldn't live with myself
if I ever crossed that line,

uh... no matter how
much I might want to.

Do you understand?

Okay.

And we shouldn't tell anyone else.

I mean, the other girls,
they would only be jealous.

So...

... what if this is our secret?

Just us?

Please, Misty.

My sweet...

... Misty.

You help me be strong.

[EXHALES]

Do we think it's still up there?

You all need to stop.

There's nothing up there.

Lottie's been acting weird for weeks.

[SNORING]

Fine.

I'll prove it.

[AKILAH] You're gonna sleep up there?

[TAISSA] That's right.

Who's with me?

Fine. More room for me, then.

[PRAYING QUIETLY]

[WHISPERING] We should
go up there with her.

[WHISPERING] In the
attic? No frickin' way.

Well, she shouldn't
be up there by herself.

I mean, if it weren't for us...

Shauna, whatever
happened tonight was not

- because of our dumb seance.
- Okay, but...

If you want to sleep up
there, fine, be my guest.

I'm staying down here.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

[GROANS]

Hi.

Uh, I picked you up some Pedialyte.

Thought it might help with your stomach.

- How are you feeling?
- How do you think?

Like ass.

So, here's the deal.

I don't have a curfew anymore.

And any Ubers into the city
are gonna be no-questions-asked,

or else I'll tell Dad

[WHISPERS] about your new boyfriend.

Honey, um...

... have you ever heard of
mutually assured destruction?

I basically invented it.

Oh.

[CHUCKLES] Okay, great.

So let's chase down exactly
what you're proposing.

- Hmm.
- First of all,

do you have any idea how
much divorce lawyers cost?

We're talking $ , $ an hour.

So, there's about , bucks

in your college fund right now...
and, yes, I do wish that number

sounded less pathetic... but regardless,

you can kiss it goodbye.

And speaking of that curfew

that you're so eager to be free from?

Get ready to have a different
kind of cramp on your weekends,

because there is no one
lonelier than a recent divorcée.

You will be spending your Friday nights

in your dad's sad little apartment,

eating cold pizza on the
sofa you know he cries into.

And after a few months of that,

just when you start to think, "Oh, okay,

Dad's taking a little bit
better care of himself now,"

get ready.

Because that is when he is gonna
come to you, for dating advice,

which I don't doubt
you'll be able to give him,

because most of those girls
will be about your age.

But, hey,

you're the one holding
the Tr*mp card here.

Hon?

- [JEFF] Yeah?
- Will you come in here?

Callie has something
she wants to tell you.

What's going on?

[SIGHS] I snuck into
the city last night.

And I got high, and kind
of freaked out a little,

and I had to call Mom
to give me a ride home.

[SIGHS]

Mm.

Wow. [SNIFFS]

Cals, that's, uh, that's
very disappointing.

You know, lying is very
uncool, and you're lucky

that your mom was able to
be there to pick you up,

otherwise you could...

[SIGHS]

Boy, were you right. She
is getting a real attitude.

Mm-hmm.

Uh-huh.

[FOOTSTEPS]

[TAISSA] What are you doing?

I was just gonna keep you company.

If that's okay.

[EXHALES]

[WHISPERING] How far along are you?

You are pregnant, right?

You won't tell anyone...

- ... will you?
- No.

I won't.

But if we're stuck out here long enough,

I have a feeling it'll come out
one way or another.

[SOFT, ENERGETIC MUSIC]

[KEYBOARD CLICKING]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Since my press conference, my
phone has not stopped ringing

with folks trying to interview me.

So tell me, why am I here?

What is that?

It's the floor of the barn

where they found Travis's body.

The police are saying it's a su1c1de,

but there were candles underneath him

arranged like that, Tai.

Someone b*rned them and took them away.

Who would do that? Why?

[PHONE CHIMES]

[PHONE CHIMES]

[NATALIE] "Gather K cash

and await further instructions.

Do not discuss with your teammates.

I will know."

I'm calling Shauna.

Good idea.

[SOFT, DARK MUSIC]

[TAISSA] Hey, I'm with Natalie.

You need to get here.

Travis is dead, and...

She says she already knows.

[NATALIE] What? How?

Misty called her.

That conniving, poodle-haired
little f*cking freak?

Shauna, get here now!

We've got a big problem.
