[sizzling]
[cap clicking]
[Anya] All right.
We're gonna take it from the top. Okay?
-Ready?
-[coach] From the top.
Five, six, seven, eight.
Bop-bop. Bop-bop.
Confide in me. [claps rhythmically]
-[girls sighing]
-Stop. Stop. Stop.
-Oh my God. My head…
-[Anya] Come on.
[coach] This is…
[Anya] Lisbeth, keep up.
Okay. You know what?
Let's just stop for a second.
-[Elise] What the fuck are you doing?
-Oh my God.
Come on, let's work together.
[Anya] Five, six, seven, eight.
Boom-boom. Boom-boom. Bop.
Prayer hands. Prayer hands
Lisbeth, you're two steps behind.
Need a pole to get going?
Maybe you can hit your marks first,
and you can talk shit later, yeah?
-Oh, sorry, sis.
-All right, again. Again.
Shut the fuck up. Again.
-[Katie] Anya, my nose is bleeding.
-[coach] Katie does need a tissue.
We're not gonna have blood
all over the floor.
I don't know what diseases you got
doing whatever last night.
[Anya] Boom-boom. Boom-boom. Bop.
All the things you're doing are wrong.
-[thudding]
-Lisbeth, you gotta keep up.
-[Katie] Bro, she doesn't know the dance.
-[Lisbeth] I'm trying, guys.
-[Bailey vomiting, coughing]
-[coach] Honey, do you need a Zofran?
-Don't even try it.
-What's wrong with you?
[Olivia] I was really doing my best, guys.
-No one's mad at you, Olivia.
-[Bailey] You suck.
[Brit] Stop stepping on my heels.
[Amy] Has anyone talked to Maddie?
[Olivia] Yes, she texted me
when she was in the hospital.
[Blair yawning] This hangover
is gonna put me in the hospital.
-Does anyone have Excedrin?
-[Amy] My God, Maddie.
-[girl 2] Maddie!
-[Olivia] Oh my God, Mads.
-[Bailey] We were worried.
-[Claire] I missed you.
Did you pee yourself when you blacked out?
[Claire] Ew, what?
Our cousin's narcoleptic,
so every time he has an episode, he pees.
No. I didn't pee. Um…
They told me it was my blood sugar, so…
At first, I was scared
it was because of the drugs,
but my mom was just talking
to Grace's dad at the hospital,
and her blood work came back clean.
Like, there's no ecstasy in her system.
-[Claire] What?
-Wait, what?
-How?
-I don't know.
-[Blair] That's good news, right?
-What the fuck? No, what did we take?
-What do you mean?
-[Bailey] Where did you get the pills?
[Katie] What the fuck did you give us?
Tyler told me
those pills were totally pure.
[Claire] Well, this test
clearly says otherwise.
[Olivia] We should've gotten
our stomachs pumped.
[Amy] Did she take the pill?
Yeah. Elise practically shoved it
down her throat.
That's defamatory.
I did not shove it down her throat. Stop.
Wouldn't anything we take
show up on a drug test?
[both] Not if it was anthrax.
Maybe the test was just wrong.
[Amy] Do doctors
get that kind of thing wrong?
They told my dad he had acid reflux,
and he literally had stomach cancer.
So, yeah, they get things wrong
all the fucking time.
[Katie] Oh shoot.
[Blair] Sorry,
I've been feeling weird as fuck.
[Bailey] I bet the drugs were off.
Need I remind everyone we got,
like, really drunk last night?
Maddie didn't, and she fainted.
Maddie's barely held down
50 calories since Friday.
Anya.
-[Maddie] I've fainted before.
-[intriguing music playing]
This felt different.
Since Halloween, I've been feeling weird.
And I've been having really bad dreams.
-[choral singing]
-Like, really, really bad dreams.
I've been having weird dreams.
Like, really scary ones about Grace.
I thought it was just, like,
the comedown or the guilt or something.
Oh my God. I had a fucked-up dream
about Grace last night.
[Katie] Girl, come on.
[Amy] Wait, I've been having
really effed up dreams too.
Didn't you have a nightmare
the other night?
No.
Yeah, you did. I saw you.
You were shaking like crazy.
[Anya] No, I wasn't.
I was, like, shaking too
when I passed out,
but this wasn't, like… medical.
Like, it felt like something…
Honestly, it felt like something
was taking over my body.
-[Amy] What do you mean?
-[Olivia] Like what?
-[Bailey] Maybe we have shakes from meth.
-[Maddie] What about the pact with Satan?
[Claire] I don't think that…
[Katie] Oh my God, Maddie. It was a prank.
[Maddie] But do you think
he'd know the difference?
Oh, please.
I cannot with your devil stuff.
No, Maddie's right.
It's exactly what happened with the nuns.
No, guys, the nuns all just
gave each other syphilis.
-The nuns were gay?
-[Olivia] No way.
Okay, guys. Seriously, I'm just saying
something really weird is going on.
And I'm not just talking about the pills.
[choral singing continues]
[Anya] Well, I'm gonna go shower.
Everyone hydrate,
and Maddie, just take the Xanax, okay?
[chatter in the background]
[Elise] Anya.
-[shower knob squeaking]
-[water rushing]
-[Elise] Anya.
-[music fades]
-Why are you being such a freak?
-Jesus!
Why are you lying about your nightmare?
You had one. I saw you.
Why is it, like, anyone's business?
-Dude, was your dream about Grace?
-I don't know. I don't remember.
Was it horny?
No.
Oh my God.
You had a freaky wet dream,
and you don't wanna talk about it.
God, I know you so fucking well.
Elise, I'm literally in the shower.
Can I get, like, five seconds of privacy?
Why? It's not like
I haven't seen you naked before.
Right, sis?
[Elise] So, you think the drugs
were actually bad?
[Anya] No.
Why? Do you?
[Elise] Probably.
[indistinct chatter in the background]
[Maddie] Psst. Guys. Maybe it's time
we tell somebody.
[Blair] We just got cleared.
There were no drugs on the test.
No, okay, we should just do a vote.
No. I really don't wanna do this, Maddie.
I don't want a prison girlfriend.
I'm with Mads.
We also can't vote
without Anya and Elise, so…
-[Maddie] We know how they'd vote.
-[Blair] Yeah. Two hard nos.
-I vote we never speak of this again.
-[Bailey] Seconded.
-Yeah, obviously.
-Guys, come on. Just…
-[sighs heavily]
-[ethereal choral singing]
Hands up if you wanna come clean.
[Claire] Oh, this is so stupid.
-[Bailey] No.
-[Olivia] Guys!
Seriously?
What if it helps Grace?
[Bailey] Sorry, no.
-Katie.
-[Claire] Come on.
[sighs] Okay, call it.
Two yays, eight nays.
Sorry, Mads.
-I can't believe you.
-[Amy] I'm sorry.
-[Maddie sighing in frustration]
-[music fades]
-[door slams open]
-[quirky music playing]
Tyler?
-[boys chattering]
-[Benji] Hey, welcome to paradise.
[Elise] Fucking disgusting.
Shut the fuck up.
It has to be a quickie.
Gotta finish my homework.
Oh my God.
Are you gonna tell me about
the pills you sold us? Hm?
The whole team feels weird,
and Anya's having a mental breakdown
because she thinks we poisoned everyone.
That's what that voicemail was about?
-What voicemail?
-Look, just listen.
I may not be a perfect man.
I know. But one thing
I do not do is deal bad product.
Oh my God.
-And I can prove it.
-Prove it? What?
This is the same batch from the party.
Stop. Put it down. Stop.
[gasps] Oh my God! Tyler!
[quirky music continues]
[coach] Hi, girlies. Hi.
I got us last period off,
so we're gonna take a field trip
to go see Grace.
Anya, do you mind letting everyone know?
-Yeah, sure.
-[coach] Thank you, honey.
Yeah?
Hey, Anya.
[Anya] What?
-Just promise me not to freak out, okay?
-What?
Tyler just took two
of those fucking pills from the party.
-I know, I know, I know.
-Fuck. Oh my God.
-I don't know what the fuck to do.
-No, no.
-Take him to the hospital.
-I know.
-This is really bad.
-Hey, babe. I got you a coffee.
-Steven, not now.
-Sorry. Wait just one second.
-How could you let him do that?
-I didn't let him. He just took it.
-[Catherine yelling] Leo Anderson!
-[music stops]
I'm here to find my son Leo Anderson!
[continues yelling] Leo!
Leo Anderson! Please.
Oh, thanks. Leo Anderson!
-I need to find Leo.
-[Sister] Mrs. Anderson.
-What is it?
-It's rotten. It's getting into my baby.
-[Sister] What is it?
-[Catherine] This is all your fault!
You never should have brought us here.
This place is rotten.
These people are rotten!
-You look like a whore!
-[Father] What's going on?
They're making whores of my children.
-[Father] Hey, Catherine.
-Please listen to me! Claws and teeth.
-[Leo] Mom! Mom.
-Claws and teeth.
[Father] Get an ambulance. Catherine.
-[Catherine] She's using you.
-Catherine. Enough.
-Grace! Grace is…
-[Father] I understand.
-…using you…
-Mama, you're hurting me.
-…as an instrument of her sin.
-[Father] Please.
[Father] Catherine, look at me.
-You have laid her naked.
-[Father] Catherine. Please.
-When you reveal her nakedness…
-[Father] Get back to class.
-What are you doing?
-…you reveal my nakedness!
[all gasping]
-You lay your mother bare…
-[Father] Jesus Christ!
…before Christ for judgment!
[Father] Get back to class now.
Catherine. Look at me. Catherine.
-[Catherine] Forgive, forgive, forgive.
-[tense music playing]
-Forgive, forgive.
-[both] Holy fuck.
-[Catherine sobbing]
-[excited chatter]
[tense music continues]
-[Catherine] Forgive!
-[Father] Lisbeth.
-Is there anyone I should call? Catherine.
-I'll be back.
-[Father] Breathe.
-Burn her!
Burn her in the fire
before her wickedness spreads.
[Father] Get back to class now!
-[Catherine] My babies…
-[Sister] It's all right.
-[tense music continues]
-[door opens]
[Catherine sobbing]
Your daughter is corrupting my babies!
[music fades]
[indistinct chatter in background]
It's not my fault.
-What the hell are you doing, man?
-[phone ringing]
I just went to talk to her.
I didn't know she'd come down here
like a maniac. She's out of her mind.
I asked you to let me handle her.
I told you she's not well.
Well, she deserves to know
what a sick shit her kid is.
God, is… is this whole family
just fucking crazy?
-Would you…
-What?
This is my job, man. This is a school.
Oh, it's a… Well, with all due respect,
fuck your job and fuck this school.
Grace should be a priority.
She is.
Then instead of wasting time
coming down on me,
drag that little freak in here
and make him tell us
what he did to my daughter.
I don't give a shit if the cops said
there's no assault.
Bro, I told you, I got Leo.
I'll handle it.
-Why are you protecting this kid?
-I'm not protecting anybody. Trust me.
-Trust you?
-Yes.
Sam, you are the one
who brought this family here.
[school bell ringing]
[Leo breathing heavily]
[door slams open]
Fuck.
-Hey. Hey. Leo. Hey.
-[Leo breathing heavily, sobbing]
Hey. Are you okay?
It's okay. You're okay. You're okay.
[Leo crying]
[Leo sobbing, breathing heavily]
Where's Mom?
They're gonna get her help.
I'm gonna be with her soon. Okay?
[Leo panting]
Okay. Hey, give me your hands.
[Leo breathing heavily, whimpers]
Just give all the bad stuff to me, okay?
Just like we did before. One.
[Leo breathing shakily]
Okay, I know you got more bad thoughts
in there. They're just thoughts, Leo.
[Leo whimpers]
As a man….
As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.
They're just thoughts. Ready?
Two.
[Leo whimpers]
Three.
[Leo exhaling sharply]
-[sighs, sniffs]
-[screaming quietly]
Now I have super strength.
[chuckles softly]
-It's done, okay? Scoot over. [sighs]
-[Leo sighs heavily]
[Lisbeth sniffles]
I really, really need to know
what's going on though, okay?
[whispers] Please let me help you, Leo.
I need to know what Mama's so upset about.
Please.
[ominous music playing]
[music intensifies]
[choral singing in Latin]
[music swells]
[pages rustling]
[Leo mumbling]
[Leo breathing deeply]
[Leo whispers]
I don't know what's wrong with me.
[singing stops abruptly]
[grinding loudly]
[Sister] In chapter two,
temptation appears…
-[Catherine yelling indistinctly]
-…in the form of Lord Henry Wotton…
[Catherine speaking indistinctly]
…who seduces Dorian Gray
into a life of beauty and pleasure.
[Tyler] We also saw a question…
[Sister continues indistinctly]
[Tyler] Today I feel I became a man.
A man who likes a bush
that's free and wild.
[Benji] It's gonna be
a great day for bushes.
-[Sister] Mr. Flores! Sit down!
-Great day.
[Sister] We are meant to see Dorian
as losing his way…
[Tyler] Steven. It's happening.
Oh, I feel connected.
Dude, what?
[Elise] Hey. Are you okay?
-Tyler?
-[Tyler] Hm?
Are you feeling sick?
-Yes.
-You're feeling sick? What?
Lovesick.
[Sister] …like the deputation of sin.
Fuck.
We know that Faust sold his soul
for knowledge,
Dorian for beauty.
But the price was the same.
Sister Imelda?
[louder] Sister Imelda?
-I know we're studying fiction, but--
-Classic literature.
I was just wondering.
Can a person really contact the devil?
Lucifer wouldn't be a true foe
if he couldn't be summoned, would he?
Speak of the devil, he doth appear.
But, like, how would you know
if he was around?
There would be signs.
The summoner would be branded
like property.
And once the mark of the devil
is upon you, it is too late.
Mind, body, senses, all are his to misuse.
And it only gets worse
every day he dwells within you.
So, like, what would this mark
look like exactly?
[Sister] It can take many forms.
Some believe a mark on the right hand
indicates action,
while a mark on the forehead
indicates thoughts.
[Olivia] Sister Imelda,
were you at the Devil's House
when the nuns went crazy?
[ethereal choral singing]
Gossip is the instrument of the devil,
and spreading rumors
puts you in his service.
-[Steven] Hey. Psst.
-If we are meant to see Dorian's…
[whispers] Anya.
-Yeah?
-[singing stops]
I, uh… I wanna talk to you
about Halloween.
[Sister Imelda speaking indistinctly]
That night, what happened
wasn't really cool.
Yeah.
[sighs] I was so wasted,
I barely remember what went down.
I think I, like, blacked out.
So, if there's something
that happened on Halloween--
No.
No, baby. Nothing happened. You're good.
[Tyler chuckles]
Sister Imelda, I was just wondering
what it's like to be a sister.
Like, do sisters live with other sisters?
Like, what's the bedroom situation?
Is it, uh, like, a bunk-bed-type thing?
Like, who's the top, and who's the bottom?
[muffled chuckle]
-[Sister Imelda] We have own rooms now.
-[Bailey] Anya.
But when I entered the convent,
it was dormitories.
[choral singing resumes]
I've never seen a bunk bed,
but I can imagine it's
quite an economical way to keep people.
-[whispers] What the fuck?
-It's Leo's.
Like, he's scary.
Like…
-Hey. Anya.
-But we shall get back to Mr. Gray.
-Anya, can I make you, uh, dinner tonight?
-[ethereal choral continues]
I just feel like
we haven't spent much time together,
and you seem stressed…
-[Sister Imelda] Death is simply…
-[Steven] …and distant. I'm worried.
Yeah. We'll rain check, baby, okay?
[Sister Imelda] Now,
who can tell me? Anyone?
[softly] Lisbeth. Lis…
Lis… Lisbeth. Hey.
Hey!
Lisbeth!
Where are you going?
-Hospital.
-[music fades]
[bell tolling in the distance]
I think we need to talk
about your brother.
What about him?
Was he at the Halloween party?
I mean, for, like, a few minutes.
He just rode with me there
to make sure I got there safe. Why?
[whispers] Listen, you didn't see Grace
before we found her.
And I mean, like, yeah, we took ecstasy,
but she was having a great roll,
and then suddenly she wasn't.
But there was this whole period of time
before we found her,
and, like, anything could've…
Anything could've happened to her.
Someone could have gotten to her.
And done what, exactly?
I saw what Leo drew.
What do you mean, you saw?
He was in her house, Lisbeth.
You know how this looks. It's weird.
You don't know Leo, though.
He's gentle,
and he's got, like, a lot of anxiety.
I mean, he's basically still a child.
Wait, like, special needs?
No. He's just… He's really innocent.
Okay. I know that he's your brother
and you wanna protect him, but…
I'm not taking the fall
for something that he did.
[uneasy music playing]
Something he did?
[chuckles in disbelief]
I'm sorry,
can we just go back for a second
to what actually happened here?
-Okay. You…
-[ethereal music playing]
Yeah, you and your best friend
bullied Grace into taking
a bunch of mystery pills,
and now your entire team's sick.
But we don't know that.
By the way, your team is starting
to catch on to the fact
that this would basically just fall on you
if it came out.
What are you talking about?
Yeah. They were talking
about turning you in
when you and Elise
were in the shower together.
Okay, we weren't in the shower together.
-And fuck, who wanted to do the vote?
-Maddie.
-Maddie?
-And Olivia sided with her.
And Katie, like, almost did,
but then she caved, so…
I really… I can't handle this right now.
I'm barely sleeping as it is,
and I keep having
these dreams about Grace.
Well, that'll happen
when you watch somebody die.
[music ends]
I actually do need to go
to the hospital, so…
We'll talk later, okay?
Just please don't do anything stupid.
Just, like, take a Xanax or something.
-Yeah, I already did.
-Okay. Good.
[choral singing "Agnus Dei" in Latin]
-[breathing shakily]
-[music fades]
[door opens]
[Father] Leo.
[Leo whispers] I'm so sorry.
I know I shouldn't be missing class.
Leo, Grace's father and I found a…
a drawing in her room.
That was yours, right?
I'm sorry.
We need to talk about it.
I can't… I can't do that.
You're her uncle.
No.
I'm also your priest. That hasn't changed.
Did something happen
between you and Grace?
Where did that image come from?
Do you know of a sin so bad
that God won't forgive you?
[somber music playing]
Did you do something to her?
-Forgive me, Father. I have sinned.
-No. Hey. You don't have to do that.
But if you take my confession formally,
you can't ever tell anyone what I say.
-I have--
-It's against the code.
It's Canon 983. If you don't follow
the code, they'll excommunicate you.
I know the code, Leo.
Forgive me, Father. I have sinned.
It's been three days
since my last confession. [sniffles]
-[Father sighs]
-[Leo sniffles]
Go ahead.
[Leo] Well, sometimes
I think about her.
[Father] Think about her how?
In a sinful way.
And do you act on these thoughts?
[sighs] Can you… Can you
just give me the penance, please?
You can't be absolved
if you don't tell me.
[Leo sighs]
-[sniffles]
-Did you hurt Grace?
Um…
-I'm sorry. I'm--
-Hey.
Did you hurt Grace?
You're… You're not supposed to ask me
questions like that. It's not allowed.
I know what I'm allowed to do,
and I'm asking you.
Did you hurt her?
For a confession to be a sacrament,
it has to be an act
of true contrition and penance.
It's not true contrition
if you're gonna ask me like that.
-[Leo] I can't.
-[sighs deeply]
What… I'm sorry.
Father, I'm sorry.
Can you please just say the absolution?
-[door closes]
-[music fades]
[monitor beeping]
[phone ringing in the distance]
Hey, Mama.
[knocking]
-Are you her daughter?
-[Lisbeth] Yeah.
Um…
What do you have her on?
It's um… It's an anti-psychotic
and Ativan.
She was pretty agitated on the way over.
[man speaking indistinctly over PA]
Your mom's file indicates
a history of amphetamine abuse.
Uh, no, the file is wrong.
Actually, I told the doctor
about this last time.
She just… She has autoimmune stuff.
[nurse] I'm gonna… I'm gonna bring in
some information about a detox.
-We've got a great facility nearby.
-No, thank you.
You know… She's not in any trouble.
We're just trying to help.
We'd like to decline testing
and any further pharmaceutical medication.
I'm her legal conservator,
and she… she won't consent.
Neither will I.
It's against our religious beliefs.
[monitor continues beeping]
Okay.
[door opens]
[Lisbeth] And just, um…
Could you just give her
some fluids, maybe?
Yeah, sure.

[Benji chuckles softly]
Benji, I'm so high I could cry.
[groans sadly]
[Benji] Well, put your pants on.
You're gonna get busted.
-[Tyler] Just touch me, please.
-[Benji] No.
-[Tyler] Please. I promise I like girls.
-[Benji] Fucking pay someone.
[groans, chuckles]
Steven. Yo, what's the matter?
-Is Anya being mean to you again?
-Go fuck yourself.
[Tyler] Oh, is she still mad
about you and Grace?
[Steven] She's mad about this.
[indistinct chatter in the background]
[Tyler] Huh?
[Benji] Is that what the naked lady
was holding on to?
[Tyler exclaims in shock]
Yo.
-Kinky.
-[Steven sighs]
[Steven] You know what I think?
I think that Leo did do something
to Grace.
-[Tyler] What?
-[Benji] Shut the fuck up.
[Steven] Yup. I think that's why
the Lions are freaking out.
Bro. You're America.
-What the hell does that mean?
-You're fighting a two-front war.
Brother, you can't keep peace with Anya…
-Stop talking shit.
-…when you're storming Grace's beach.
Wait, what?
You gotta pick a woman, dawg. [chuckles]
[Tyler moans] Fuck.
I feel amazing.

-Coach, turn it off, please?
-No. It's Kelly Clarkson.
No, can we just… Please?
I'm gonna kill myself.
-This song is gay as fuck. Please. Stop.
-[song stops]
[coach] What's wrong
with being a little gay?
[Anya] I fucking hate this song.
What? We're going to sit in silence?
Can we enjoy one thing?
We're literally going to the hospital.

[unsettling music playing]
Hi, Anya.
You okay?
[Grace] Come sit.
[music swells]
[quietly] You left me alone to die.
Why didn't you call for help?
[monitor beeping]
[unsettling music continues]
We know your deeds, Anya.
Do not be afraid
of what you're about to suffer.
-[tires screeching]
-[Brit] Fuck. Coach, my neck.
[coach] Oh, my… It was the curb, girls.
-[Bailey] No. You always do this.
-[girl speaking indistinctly]
[siren wailing in the distance]
-[coach] Anya, are you okay?
-Yeah.
[coach] What is going on with her?
Why don't you go and check on your girl?
-[Elise] She's not my girl.
-[coach] Please.
Did you have another wet dream
about Grace?
No.
God, you're so fucking insensitive.
You don't even care about Grace.
-You don't even feel bad for her.
-That's--
What? Because she told everyone
you got a nose job?
-It's pretty fucking obvious.
-Well, you don't think I feel bad?
What's happening is almost definitely
our fault, okay?
-Shh!
-At least I can admit it.
I was just trying to make you laugh. Fuck.
You j… You feel guilty.
That's why you're dreaming about her.
I'm not fucking dreaming about her! Fuck!
I mean, we don't even know
whose fault it was.
[Elise] Okay, Anya.
[man on TV] Voters are having
the last word.
And they're turning out in big numbers,
long lines formed at polling places
all across the country.
There are indications that
top issues on voters' minds today are
jobs and the economy, terrorism,
the war in Iraq, and moral values.
[President George W. Bush]
…and lifted a flag.
The world saw that spirit
three miles from here,
when the people of this city
faced peril together.
[Velcro ripping]

[male automated phone voice]

[beeps]
[Leo on voicemail] Grace,
I really… I really need to talk to you.
Please don't be mad at me.
[beeps]
[male automated phone voice]
October 31st, 11:43 p.m.
[beeps]
[Leo on voicemail] I really
need to talk to you.
Would you please call me back?
[beeps]
[male automated phone voice]
October 31st, 11:44 p.m.
[beeps]
[Leo on voicemail] I don't wanna be
like this. I wanna stop.
I don't… I don't wanna be this way.
-I've always been bad, and I'm…
-[pensive music playing]
I'm just so sorry that I hurt you too and…
I… I have to stop myself.
I… I'll stop. I promise.
You just have to let me apologize.
[beeps]
[Benji] No fucking way. Fuck. Come on.
-Speak of the devil!
-[boys laughing]
-[Steven] W… Wait.
-Come on.
[Benji] Come on, please. Come on!
Yo, what's up, Leo? Come on. Come here.
-Avenge Grace!
-[boys clamoring]
[boy] Avenge Grace!
[Leo on voicemail] …be like this. I…
I wanna stop. I don't wanna be this way.
[coach] Oh, hi, girls. Hi.
Thank you so much for coming.
-[girl] How you doin'?
-[ethereal choral singing]
[indistinct chatter]
[Claire] Because there's, like,
so much detail.
[chatter continues]
[Maddie] He wasn't really her boyfriend.
-[girl 3] Stop.
-[Maddie] Hey.
[Amy] You're the one that talks.
[chatter continues]
[coach] Hi. Elise, where's Anya?
[Elise] Don't even get me started.
-[Maddie] Wait, Anya's not coming?
-[coach] This is just not the time.
[choral singing continues]
[water bubbling]
Are you gonna tell what you did, freak?
No? Really? All right!
[choral singing continues]
We're gonna Guantanamo
the truth out of this bitch!
Wow! Come on, Stevie, get in here.
[choral singing swelling]
-Hey. Hey, girls.
-[singing stops]
Elise, uh, thank you again
for dropping off that pot roast.
-[Elise] Yeah, of course.
-Really delicious.
[Michael] Ah, come on in. Come on in.
You got the Franklins a pot roast?
Yeah, I'm not fucking uncivilized.
[coach] Hi. Oh, I'm so sorry.
-How are you doing?
-[Michael speaking indistinctly]
[coach] Why don't we grab a coffee?
-[monitor beeping]
-[ventilator hissing]
Are you sure you should touch her?
What, you think you'll catch her coma?
[Olivia] Are you looking
for the devil's mark?
-[Maddie] What? No.
-[Amy] What's a devil's mark?
[Olivia] She was asking Sister Imelda
about it earlier.
-Oh my God, Maddie. What is that?
-What? Ow!
[girls giggle]
-[Lisbeth] Don't make fun of her.
-[girls gasp]
Maybe she's right.
Right about what?
That Grace was taken by the fucking devil?
Yeah.
I think something,
like, really weird's going on.
Yeah, like your rapey brother
smothering her with a pillow.
[ethereal music playing]
[Benji, muffled] Yeah!
[water bubbling]
[inaudible]
Okay, listen. I know there's a lot
of rumors going around right now
about my brother,
but I'm telling you, none of it's true.
Of course you would say that.
What did you do to Grace?
[excited chatter in the background]
Why were you at her house?
Say something!
[water bubbling]
[all laughing mockingly]
I just think you guys are missing a lot
of signs that are right in front of us.
[ethereal music continues]
Anya sees them too.
When have you been hanging out with Anya?
[mumbles, chuckles softly]
She's going through a lot right now.
I guess she just wanted
somebody to talk to.
-What?
-What?
What's she going through?
[Benji] Fucking ready to talk?
Tell us what you did, faggot.
Aw, come on, Benji. That insult feels
unrelated to the accusation.
Do it again.
-[all clamoring]
-[music starts to pulsate]
Uh…
This?
And Maddie passing out?
And the negative blood test?
We're all going through that.
And she's been having some, like,
really bizarre dreams about Grace.
-[all clamoring]
-Yeah!
-Come on. Do it again!
-What?
I said do it again!
I deserve it! Do it again!
[Leo sobs]
Do it again!
[Benji, muffled] What did you do to Grace?
You gonna tell us what you did, freak?
What'd you do to her, freak?
[Leo gasps]
It's my fault. It's my fault.
[Steven] Wait, wait.
It's my fault. [sobbing] It's my fault.
When did she tell you about this dream?
Which one?
She's had, like, a few.
[in a mocking tone] Oh yeah?
[pulsating music continues]
[Lisbeth] Wait, Olivia.
You had a weird dream about Grace too.
Didn't you?
Yeah. And it was, like,
a really weird dream too.
Claire, didn't you have one too? And you?
Wait, no, I think that I might have had
a dream about Grace that day too.
-Me too.
-Oh my God.
Guys, that's exactly what happened
to Anya on All Saints' Day.
She said it felt like…
-Like a visitation.
-[choral singing resumes]
I've had these images of Grace in my head
ever since I met her, and my drawings,
they were just supposed to be for me,
to… to get the bad thoughts
out of my head.
Grace was never supposed to see them.
[Leo sobs]
I was supposed to burn them.
But I couldn't do it. I couldn't hurt her.
I couldn't even hurt a picture of her.
[Leo sobbing, gasping]
And I went to the party to apologize,
but she was speaking to you.
I told you, bro.
And I contaminated her with my sin,
and now she's sick,
and I never even got to apologize.
[Benji] You didn't even touch her?
The Bible says the thought is
just as bad as the deed.
-[Benji] Oh fuck.
-[Father] Hey!
[music pulsating]
[Leo] "For as he thinks in his heart,
so is he."
"As he thinks in his heart, so is he."
"As he thinks in his heart, so is he."
-[sniffles]
-[pulsating music continues]
[sobs]
[Father] Leo.
Daddy Franklin totally
talked about that at mass.
[twins] Mm-hmm.
[Olivia] That, like,
angry spirits might visit us.
[Amy] Oh my God. He totally did.
Oh my God, you guys.
-[Maddie] Wait, Lisbeth.
-[choral singing resumes]
What does Anya think is happening?
[Lisbeth] Well, I don't want to, like,
speak for Anya, obviously, but…
She thinks it really feels like…
like we're being haunted.
[choral singing intensifies]
[music ends]
[Father] "The thought is just as bad
as the deed."
You know not everything in the Bible
is meant to be taken literally, right?
The King James Version
isn't even a good translation.
[Father sighs softly]
I absolve you from your sins
in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

[Tyler] And there I was,

but also so… so horny.
And now, I feel motherfucking amazing.
I'm telling you, my girl,
the pills are good.
[Benji] Hey!
Bush won, baby! Come on!
-[all cheering]
-I fucking love America! Let's go!
[Olivia] If Tyler's fine,
then what's happening to us?
[whispers] Anya, there's something
on your neck.
[bag rattling]
[indistinct chatter in background]
[Elise] You're scared
it was the devil's mark?
-No.
-What did Sister Imelda say again?
A mark on the hand for action,
a mark on the head for thoughts, and…
a mark on the neck
for being a fucking liar?
