Three days later,
the bus continues to burn bright

with an unusual range of colors

due to the hazardous pairing
of chemicals in the expl*si*n.

[PHONE RINGS]

- Hi, mom.
- Oh, Drew, honey.

It's just awful. I'm so sorry.

All those friends of yours
just burning to a crisp.

Yeah, thanks, Mom.

The death of Dory Sief

and her band of popular followers...

Dude, dude, dude, dude,
you could have b*rned alive.

You could still be burning alive

just like, "Ahh! Ahh!"

Reid, Reid, be sensitive!

Everyone he knows is dead
and he just lost his job.

Drew, honey, why don't you come home?

You have nothing to live for anymore.

That's when people come home.

No, Drew can't come home.

We always have to be
respectful of his sadness.

It sucks.

If Drew comes home, I'll k*ll myself.

- Stop.
- Ow!

Son, it's time to come home.

Why don't you just rent a car

and buy a bunch of granola bars

and take a long, slow drive to Chicago?

That's what I did when I was your age

and all my friends d*ed.

Yeah, I'll think about it, Dad.

Thanks.

I gotta go, though, so bye.

Bye.

Hey, so, um... So the pills are getting

more and more valuable, right?

Exactly.

Well, let me know if you need
any help keeping them safe.

I'd love to kind of head up,
you know, protecting them.

I'd love to be in charge of that...
it'd be an honor.

I think it's best

if I'm the only one who
knows where they are.

It's not that I don't trust you.

It's just that a lot of people
are gonna be after this.

Right. Mm-hmm.

That's so smart. That's so smart.

'Cause I noticed
they weren't in the car.

I looked in the car and I didn't see

Well, we're gonna get

- Yeah.

And then tomorrow,

we're gonna take the pills.

Are you saying that tomorrow,

we're finally gonna become enlightened?

Yes, we all are.

And then we're gonna distribute the rest

to everybody we can,
and the world will see

that it is needed.

- Oh, my God.
- Yes!

Oh, my God.

- Hi.
- Hi.

When I look at the stars,

I see you, Drew.

Everything has led to this moment.

In a way,
I think I had to sit and stew in doubt

so I could really
understand what it's like

to commit to something
greater than myself.

Yeah.

To have and to know complete faith.

Should we also do a bottle of champagne?

Yes, a few, and I'll take a bottle

just for myself to feel included.

You see, I just had my face diamond

lifted this morning, and I...

I do want to feel included.

So we'll do a few of your absolute best.

The stuff you hide away until
the richest people show up.

[KEYPAD BEEPING]

Money is no issue for us.

All right. Very good.

And do you carry Hot Baby?

Oh, the hot sauce just for babies?

I don't think we do.
But I am familiar with it.

Well, you should.

I took acid and invented it.

I made this family rich off of it.

I'll have a case overnighted
to the restaurant.

Really, it's no trouble.

Are you jealous that my husband

is the inventor of Hot Baby?

I am.

I'll be right back with your drinks.

- What in the world?
- Who is Chantal with?

- Turn me.
- Katherine, I can't see.

- Hello, everyone.
- Long time no see.

Who is this?

This is Liquorice Montague,
and she's a genius.

- Ah, fellow genius.
- Are you an inventor like I am?

I'm here actually because
I want your blessing

on a very pressing issue.

Is that so?

I'm asking for your
daughter's hand in marriage.

- Since when are you a lesbian?
- Shut up, Katherine.

This is much bigger than that.

Your daughter Chantal
is going to give birth

to the man who brings
about the end of the world.

I'm sorry... what?

And the only way to stop her

from mating with the father

is to marry her so
that she does not stray.

I tried to k*ll the father, but...
he's a child.

- I couldn't do it.
- Chantal, this is scaring me.

- Oh, stop it.
- He's only a child right now.

He'll be a man in a couple of years

because he's gonna travel
back in time from the future.

I wouldn't have sex
with a child, Katherine.

Don't be insane.

This is confounding.

As you can see, this is time sensitive.

And I do not think it's
right to move forward

without your blessing,
so do I have your blessing?

- [SIGHS]
- I-I think it's up to Ted.

Ted makes all the big
decisions for us now.

Well, all I know is,

I've never seen Chantal happier.

So...

today's the day.

[NERVOUS LAUGHTER]

But before we take the pill,

we have one last
journey to go on together.

Before I d*ed, I had a reckoning.

I was at an impasse with myself.

My ego had driven me to a place

of such despair.

I was afraid to let go of my ego

because it was my armor.

And I believe that is the space

that you are all in now.

So what we are going
to experience today...

Is a transformation of the ego.

And it's going to feel like pain.

But here's the thing:

when you really investigate the pain...

You learn that what you are experiencing

is actually the overwhelming
support of love.

- Wow.
- So everybody lie down.


Put your hands by your side facing up.

And gently close your eyes.

And this is Dr. Benny Balthazar?

So the cause of death
was ruled as a su1c1de

window several stories up.

But the way the body's decomposing...

you gotta take a look yourself.
