[bunniefuu]

How long it take you to load that thing?

Seconds.

Holds six rounds.

You all right, sir?

Something has changed.

Another is here.

Mmm

Mmm

Save some for the rest of us.

Oh, you must be

going through a growth spurt, bud.

Mmm.

First come, first serve.

Tyler coming down?

I don't know. He's pissed at me

for lying about the police report.

What police report?

The one I told him I filed.

About the intruders.

Oh, right.

I know it's frustrating,

but you guys figured out how to talk to me

back when I couldn't understand magic.

I'm sure you'll find a way with Tyler too.

Hope so.

I guess things have

really changed around here.

Well, yeah! They have, thanks to you.

- Kinsey, you gonna be home tonight?

- Should be, yeah.

Great. Well, I have dinner plans,

but I shouldn't be too long.

Bode! What the hell?

Why did you just do that?

There was a bug!

I was just trying to protect you.

Okay. Well, maybe next time,

just, uh, give me a heads-up instead.

You know, if you really wanna protect us,

be careful with the keys.

I found this in the Ghost Door.

Were you playing around with it?

Uh, yeah. I'll just

take that back.

Don't leave it lying around. Okay?

I won't. I promise.

Hey, maybe we should

take a look at the other keys,

just to make sure

they're all accounted for.

I got it covered.

Okay, hungry man, finish up.

We're leaving for school in ten minutes.

Uh actually,

I think it's conference day.

Teachers go in. Kids stay home.

Yeah, I don't think so.

Go brush your teeth.

Nice try with the mug, assh*le!

But now, I got your mommy

wrapped around my little finger,

and I can snatch up any key that I want.

But look at the bright side.

You always had fun being a ghost.

Now you get to be one forever.

Oh, and if you try

and send any more messages,

I'll k*ll your whole family.

Isn't it someone's 18th birthday

coming up in a few weeks?

Mm-hmm.

Gotta do something epic to celebrate.

- Epic?

- Mmm.

Well, that's a high bar.

Let me worry about that.

- Carly?

- Hey.

H-Hi, I What? Um

So, you're okay?

- Uh, yeah, I'm okay. I

- You sure?

Can you speak freely?

Like, pull on your ear

if you're actually okay.

Wait. You You didn't drive

all the way from Montana

because you were

worried about me, did you?

You little sh*t!

You do not get to turn me

into the crazy person here.

But, come on,

you knew I had my uncle's wedding.

Several days ago!

You don't show up for work.

You don't answer any of my texts.

I didn't know

if something horrible had happened

You're right. I should have written back.

I'm sorry. I just I

You never struck me as a worrier.

I'm not.

I just I I don't like it

when people I care about

just go silent all of a sudden.

Hey! I mean,

you're obviously okay, and you're just

Yeah.

This is your house?

I don't know what I was expecting,

but this is not it.

- Do you wanna come inside?

- Mmm, nah.

I think I'm gonna turn around

and drive back.

Of course I'm coming in.

This place looks amazing.

Give me the whole ten-cent tour.

All right. Well, we, um, we can start

with the very '70s basement.

Okay.

Oh, look. There's Josh and Jamie.

Oh, how thrilling for all of us.

Good morning!

- Hi there.

- Hi.

Hey, cool kicks, Bode. Very old-school.

You would know, dinosaur.

Bye, Dad.

Okay, bye.

Oh, wow. Never knew my self-esteem

could take such a hit from a fifth-grader.

That was not like him. I'm so sorry.

I will wear him down over time.

He needs a chance

to get to know you better.

Yeah.

Maybe, um, we can invite the kids

to come along on our dinner date tonight.

It could give you guys a chance to bond.

Mm-hmm.

- I'm down for the challenge.

- No, he'll come around.

Can I ask you something?

Why didn't you tell me that you guys had

a break-in during Duncan's wedding?

Tyler told me.

Oh, um

I, uh

I didn't wanna ruin

a happy day for anyone.

Or be the damsel in distress.

I would hope

with something that big,

we could share those things

with each other.

You're right.

Um, in the future, I will.

Why'd you say that to my dad?

It was just a joke.

Okay.

So are you ready for the science test?

I was up half the night studying.

Oops.

Sorry.

Listen here, sh*t stain.

Do that again,

and I'll rip out your entrails.

I've seen him

hide candy bars at work.

That's

That's like dietary infidelity.

Is it though? If they're

still paleo when they're together.

It absolutely is. It's 100%.

People will believe

what they want to believe.

Uh, hi.

Hi.

Uh, this, um this is my sister, Kinsey.

- Hi.

- Hey, I'm Carly.

Tyler's friend from Montana?

I guess someone forgot to mention me, huh?

Lucky for him,

I don't get offended easily.

I was

I was just, um

I just knew that I couldn't, um

I couldn't convey

the full extent of your splendor to

Yeah, stop digging.

You're already in a hole.

So are you staying with us?

Oh Um

I'm sure I can, like,

find a hotel somewhere or

Don't be stupid.

Of course you're staying with us.

Really? You don't mind?

I mean, we have so many extra rooms.

Right. Cool.

- Uh, you wanna head up?

- Yeah, let's do it.

Would you wanna come along?

We're gonna go get chowder at, um

What's that place called again? Phil's?

- Bill's.

- Bill's.

Yeah, you should come if you want.

No, you guys go. I I got homework to do.

I'll catch you later.

- I'll drive?

- Wow!

Where was that chivalry

when you ghosted me?

Well, I'm just gonna

grab my jacket quickly.

Am I supposed to know who you are?

You must be the little brother.

Guess I must.

Oh, Bode, this is, um, this is Carly.

She's visiting me from Montana.

Way to go, Tyler, you sly dog.

You always were into brunettes.

Funny.

Hey, bud! Hurry up,

or we're gonna be late

for dinner with Josh and Jamie.

Wouldn't want that!

Well, your brother's got

his East Coast attitude down pat.

Sorry, he's he's not usually like that.

God, this kid is such a nerd!

And some guac for the table, please.

Thanks. Guacamole.

So, Bode, your mom tells me

that you're really into Lego.

I was something of a master at that

when I was in high school.

Wow, you must have had

an active social life.

I mean, yeah,

I was definitely one of those kids

who blossomed during college.

Although, even then, I was the kind who

would rather be studying than having fun.

- I'm shocked.

- Hey!

What were you studying?

How to be a high school history teacher?

Bode.

Well, I guess it doesn't seem cool,

but being a teacher was always my dream.

And, you know,

history has some great stories.

You might wanna slow down on the chips.

You'll ruin your appetite.

Hey, relax, cheapskate.

They're bottomless.

Uh Apologize right now.

I'm sorry. I was just kidding.

I don't know what's gotten into you,

but you better shape up, fast.

- Nina?

- Gordie!

So good to see you.

I don't mean to interrupt, but I had

to let you know what a wonderful job

Kinsey and her friends are doing

on the film for the Matheson website.

It's gonna be a heck of an ad

for the town.

Oh, I'm so glad to hear it.

Do you know, uh, Josh Bennett?

He teaches history at the academy.

I've heard good things.

The theater looks great.

Glad it could be saved.

- I hear you're to thank for that.

- No. I just write the checks.

Nina's done everything

that really matters.

The kids are putting on

Our Town next semester.

If my soul could be summed up in one play

Thornton Wilder?

Oh yeah! That's great.

Something wrong?

I I've I've got to go to the bathroom.

You're here.

May I ask who this is?

Captain Frederick Gideon,

British officer

in the American w*r of Independence.

Hanged to death by Benjamin Locke,

but only after he opened the portal.

Wow. He must have been special.

I found him to be

quite well-suited to my needs.

Your vessel, on the other hand

Well, this is how I get access.

To the keys?

You know about them?

I possess several of them.

Soon,

I will have all of them.

How did you get those

if you can't take them from the Lockes?

I had some help.

Now that you're a tiny Locke,

you might actually be useful to me.

Yeah, I guess.

I've already been

looking for the keys myself.

Once I find them,

I can teach you how to use them.

They're incredibly powerful.

I don't care

about their individual powers.

They are an expression

of human vanity. No.

I mean to use them

for a much higher purpose.

Each key that I possess

makes the portal larger.

With all of them,

I will be able to fully draw our world

across the barrier to this one.

We lay siege to Keyhouse at dawn.

They trust me.

I'm one of them.

Why have a battle

and face the powers of the keys

when I can just take them?

I can ensure your success.

We know where they're hiding them.

Can you get inside this cabinet?

Of course I can.

I'm Bode Locke.

And if I do all this,

what will I get in return?

If you succeed,

you will serve at my right hand

in the new world.

Fair enough.

Where have you been?

I don't feel so good.

I think I need to go home.

Are you sure?

I preordered the tres leches cake.

I have a stomachache.

Sorry.

Probably for the best.

Text me. Let me know how he's feeling.

Seriously, what's the matter with you?

What's the matter with you?

And believe it or not,

we finally finished a rough cut

of the Splattering 2.

We're gonna screen it tomorrow.

Aw, that's brilliant. Oh, man,

I wish I could be there to see it.

Yeah, me too.

And how's the fam?

Mom's good.

Bode's weird.

But I don't know. Maybe it's the start

of puberty or something.

And Tyler has a girlfriend.

I think.

Oh, do tell.

Well, I don't know.

She drove out here from Montana,

and they seem, like, super close,

but that's basically all I know.

So what, is he going back to Montana

with her or

I have no idea.

You guys don't seem to be all that tight

since he got back, huh?

Yeah, he's been pretty distant.

I mean, I wanna tell him things, but

- Camera's up, mate.

- Just calm yourself, all right?

I'll be there in a second.

Apologies. I moronically agreed

to AD for my flatmate's short film,

and he's turned into

an absolute freaking tyrant.

Oh, yeah? What's the short about?

Get this. It's a reimagining

of Alice in Wonderland

that's somehow an allegory

for the plight of migrants in Europe.

And it's set in the future.

So the Mad Max Hatter?

I like that. I'm stealing that.

Sorry, you were saying. Tyler?

Right, yeah.

It's hard because he chose

to let go of magic,

but now he just can't understand

- Oi, Scot, we're ready to roll.

- All right. All right. All right.

Kins, look, I'm really sorry. I gotta go.

He's bugging 'cause we're strapped

for time, but I'll call you soon, yeah?

Of course.

Good luck. Don't mess it up.

Cheeky. All right.

I was searching the garden ♪

With your play ♪

I love that you travel

with a deck of cards.

These are actually my grandpa's.

He brought 'em with him

when he fought in Vietnam.

And now,

I bring 'em with me

when I'm chasing boys across the country.

Hey, I thought that you

were worried about me.

I was.

But now,

I just feel sorry for you, loser.

Well. I'm glad you're here.

On our fictional moon ♪

I left you too ♪

Carly um

Okay.

I I thought you wanted me to.

Finally.

I do. I

Part of me does.

Just not a big enough part.

- I promise it has nothing to do with you.

- Yeah, sure. Okay.

The truth is, um

I had this girlfriend.

Let me guess? She broke your heart.

She d*ed.

sh*t, I'm sorry.

What happened?

She had an aneurysm.

I was with her. She, um

We had all these plans.

What we would do after graduation.

College.

Then she was gone, and

plans didn't make sense anymore.

And being here, I just couldn't take it.

Everything reminded me of her.

That's why I left.

I'm glad you told me.

Oh, hey!

Hey. Um, there's fresh coffee. Your mom

made some before she went out.

Where's Ty?

Still asleep, I guess?

Do you want some toast?

I made way too much.

I'm okay, thanks.

I see you have your own

"breakfast of champions" thing going on?

Yeah, my friends are coming over.

We're gonna screen this movie we finished.

- You made a movie?

- Yeah.

You wanna watch with us?

I'd love to.

Great.

Okay. What can I bring?

These.

Thanks.

So much for your intel, Captain.

Where did you morons hide them?

So that's how you did it, huh?

- That scream was so good.

- Bravo!

Jesus, Bode,

have you been there the whole time?

I didn't wanna interrupt.

It was so great.

- Thanks.

- Right?

I mean, Abby, I could feel

the emotion and vulnerability

that you brought to Nephropidae.

I could feel your pain, girl.

Yeah, because it was real pain.

That lobster suit didn't fit me at all.

Guys, honestly, I think Scot leaving

made us all step up our game,

and we nailed it!

- Yep.

- Who's Scot?

Exactly. Just a creative ball and chain

who was holding us all back.

- Doug!

- I'm kidding.

He's our good friend.

He moved back to the UK for film school.

Well, you guys are mad geniuses.

When that army of demonic crustaceans

att*cked the town,

like, how'd you even come up with that?

Uh, are you familiar with the phrase,

"art imitates life?"

Yeah.

Let's say we've been through some sh*t.

All right. We better motor if we want

a sh*t at the docks for the tourism film

while it's still crowded.

- It's crowded. It's fine.

- Yes.

We'll walk over.

- I'll help you clean up down here.

- Yeah, sure, little Locke.

- We're gonna put this stuff in the car.

- I'll be right up.

I'm sorry.

It's fine. I'll get it.

Are you sure?

I got it.

Okay. Yeah. Thanks.

So you used a bunch of keys

to make the movie, right?

Yeah, like you don't know that?

So Kinsey must have shown you

where we keep them hidden.

Um, I don't think so.

Are you sure

she never told you where they are?

She probably mentioned something.

Why are you asking me?

Sometimes we play this game

where she moves them around,

so I was just hoping

that you could help me out.

Why don't you ask your sister?

Okay, look. If you know where they are,

you need to tell me.

- What are you talking about?

- Tell me!

Chill, little dude.

I don't know where the keys are.

Think a little harder.

Hey! Doug, are you coming?

Yeah, I'll be right up.

All right. Well, I gotta go, so here.

This is all so far from what

I've been expecting to find here.

And what was that?

It was just the way

Tyler talked about this place.

Or didn't. Like, that's kind of

what drew us together.

Neither of us likes

to dredge up real sh*t.

We just wanna joke around, have fun.

I guess I assumed some things

about where he came from.

Like, I figured he had family stuff,

same as me, but

You guys are awesome.

Thanks. So are you.

And you and Tyler

seem really great together.

We're not, like, together together.

Oh, sorry, I

Nah, we're just We're just pals.

He just told me

what happened to his girlfriend.

Jackie.

Yeah.

That was awful.

Yeah.

Now I get why

this is such a loaded place for him.

Yeah.

Sounds like he was happier in Montana.

I'm gonna go check on our boy.

See if he's up for a hike.

Fran called this morning.

Our old house officially sold.

I'll be signing

the closing documents on Friday.

So are we going to buy a new house here?

I was thinking more like we would

go someplace where we could start fresh.

But we just got here.

It was never meant to be a permanent move.

Did you only wanna come back

just so you could sell the house?

No, I wanted you to be able

to spend some time here, but

I think a change of scenery could be good.

I don't want a change.

I wanna stay here.

I know you feel that way now

You never said we were going to move.

I don't wanna move!

Rufus.

Rufus!

I was thinking

we could, um, caravan back to Montana.

You could follow me

since I actually pay attention

to the speed limit signs.

You're ready to go back?

Just not connecting

with my family anymore,

especially Kinsey.

It's almost like she's like she's doing

everything she can to push me away.

She's probably just giving you space

to figure your sh*t out.

Yeah, I'm not sure that's it.

Well then, talk to her.

Like, ask her what it is.

If you wanna connect,

you gotta You gotta put in the work.

You're a family counselor now?

You don't know how lucky you are.

To have all these people

want the best for you?

I would've k*lled to have that.

You don't think this is hard for them?

I mean

You're here, but you got

one foot in, one foot out.

All right. So, yeah.

So I'll just go back to Montana.

Just don't do it for stupid reasons, okay?

My fabulous life has no space for jerks.

What the hell are you doing in here?

You should really dust

under there more often.

And I was looking for the Alpha Key.

- What? Why?

- To make sure it's safe.

What if Dodge comes back

or another demon that we need to k*ll?

Dude, I told you. All the keys are safe.

Hey, where did that come from?

I thought the intruders took it

when they broke in.

Oh.

Turns out they didn't,

and I just forgot it was in my backpack.

- Whoops!

- What's going on with you?

You're usually more careful

with this stuff.

Yeah, now that you mention it,

maybe we should go check on the keys.

Everything's fine.

Well, you're not the most careful either.

Excuse me.

I mean, ever since Tyler left,

and you got put in charge,

things have really gone to sh*t.

No wonder he wants

to leave again so badly.

- Did you really say that to me?

- What? Can't take a little criticism?

Get out of my room!

Uh, Bode?

Rufus.

What are you doing here?

We were supposed to hang out.

Right.

Let's go play downstairs.

There's certain things

I love about this place.

Like spending time with you.

But overall,

it's just too hard for me to be here.

I think a change would be

really good for us.

Rufus will come around.

I don't know.

He's just really angry with me right now.

If it makes you feel any better,

Bode's not thrilled with me either.

Must be really hard.

I've never seen Bode act like this before.

This is not normal.

In this issue,

the good guys are outnumbered ten to one,

but they have a secret w*apon, see?

Did you lose something?

Um, yes, actually.

Um, I've lost a key.

I've told you where I keep them, right?

That information is classified.

Are you sure I never told you?

Maybe under the floorboards?

Like Dodge?

How do you know about Dodge's hiding spot?

Because you told me, duh.

No, I didn't.

The only people who knew about that

were me and my mom.

And

You must have forgotten.

Hey, remember when you came

to visit me in Minnesota?

Don't you mean Nebraska?

Are you trying to trick me?

No. Why would I do that?

I don't know. Why would you do that?

You're not Bode.

You stupid idiot!

Tell me what you did with my friend!

Where's Bode?

Should have finished you

while I had the chance!

sh*t!

You're in a human body now.

However you managed it,

it means you can get hurt!

Bode?

Rufus? What's going on?

You say anything, I'll k*ll them both.

What happened?

Oh my God. Are you okay?

I he

He att*cked me!

He had this crazy tantrum or something.

Rufus?

We're gonna go.

Bode,

you have exactly five seconds

to tell me what really happened.

I told you. He att*cked me!

Rufus wouldn't do that.

This isn't like you.

He's your best friend.

What's going on with you?

I

I miss Dad.

I don't want Josh to replace him.

That's not gonna happen.

And it's not an excuse for you

to act the way that you did.

You're not a little kid anymore.

You need to take responsibility

for your actions.

You need to call Rufus and apologize.

Okay. I will.

Whatever happened,

you can tell me.

I won't get mad. I promise.

It was just a stupid fight.

No big deal.

But you don't ever fight.

I know you're upset

that I brought up the idea of leaving.

That had nothing to do with it.

Then what happened?

It's over, Mom.

Don't worry about it.

Easy loading when you travel this light.

We're not doing yours.

I'm not leaving.

You're not?

I wanna be here for you guys.

Whatever's Whatever is going on, I

I need–

I need you to let me back in.

It's not as easy as it sounds.

Well,

you're gonna have to try

because I hate how things are

with us right now.

When you left,

you made a decision to

forget some stuff.

Like?

Like to block out certain memories?

Yeah, in a way.

So that's what's hard for me.

You made a choice,

and I've been trying to honor that choice.

I don't remember any of that,

but if that happened,

whatever that choice was

I'm not happy with it.

All right?

I'm changing my mind.
