Sick as a Dog

1 NARRATOR: Previously, on Light as a Feather.
MCKENNA: The pain, the nightmares, these blackouts.
- It's getting worse.
- VIOLET: Blackouts? - That's a new one.
- You never blacked out? - No, never.
- This feels so right.
- Right? - Yeah, it it does.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
- I, um - SAMMI: Sorry.
This is Ridge, Luke, Nadia.
We're actually going back to Ridge's lake house and maybe playing some games.
MCKENNA: Nope, sorry.
Violet and I actually have someplace to be.
VIOLET: You and Isaac were hooking up behind Olivia's back.
She's crazy, and she killed Olivia! Stay away! You're insane! I'm haunted by this hole in my memory, and I'm still here for you, Isaac, and I wanna help you remember.
Oh, you've gotta be kidding me.
- Alex - Stay the hell away from me, both of you.
RIDGE: Where the hell is my car? - Hey, I said just - MCKENNA: Stop! It was just like you said.
[SCREAMS.]
[METAL SLICING.]
Help! Speeding helplessly headlong towards his imminent fate with only mere seconds to ponder the recklessness that brought him to this point.
And then, he felt it.
[METAL SLICING.]
The impossibly sharp point of a spear.
- RIDGE: [SHRIEKS.]
- MCKENNA: He screamed in pain as metal ripped through flesh and viscera, penetrating the still-beating heart of Ridge Reyes.
Light as a feather, stiff as a board.
ALL: Light as a feather, stiff as a board.
Light as a feather, stiff as a board.
Light as a feather, stiff as a board.
He's dying, he's dying, he's dead.
He's dead.
NADIA: Holy shit.
That was crazy.
It was just like you said.
I'm sorry, what? NADIA: The way that guy died.
It was, like, exactly the way you predicted it.
[FOREBODING MUSIC.]
The other night? "The other night?" Yeah, when you played that game with us.
[DOOR SLAMS.]
- [ENGINE TURNS OVER.]
- [SIREN WAILING.]
[ETHEREAL MUSIC.]
[SIRENS WAILING.]
How could I have possibly played that game again? Did you know that this - was gonna happen? - No, no, of course not.
No, just just think.
Try to remember what you did the last few nights.
- I can't.
- VIOLET: Why not? Because I just don't exactly remember.
Because of the blackouts.
This is impossible.
I would never, - ever play that game.
- Hey, just relax.
Relax.
Try to breathe, okay? The most important thing is that you don't talk to those other kids.
Are you kidding me? No.
Mac, if they find out, then they're gonna panic - and they're gonna tell everyone.
- Please, just just shut up.
Mac, I'm trying to help you.
Okay, well do me a favor and stop.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC.]
[CAR DOOR SLAMS.]
- ALEX: Hey.
- [GASPS.]
What the hell? I saw you and McKenna talking after that kid Ridge died.
- So what did you do? - VIOLET: What do you mean? I didn't do anything.
I don't believe you.
You said this was over.
That we were free of the curse.
- You are.
- Really? Because there's no chance that that kid died in some weird, random way for no reason.
This is about you.
Okay, let me stop you right there.
If you're suggesting that I had something to do with today, I have news for you.
[SINISTER MUSIC.]
I'm retired.
What happened to Ridge is exactly what it looked like.
An accident.
I don't know how you're doing this, but this is for sure all your fault.
And at some point, everyone is going to figure that out.
Why is it every time something horrible happens, everyone assumes it's me? Because it always is.
I've lost McKenna.
I'm done with you.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC.]
- CUSTOMER: Thank you.
- NADIA: Yeah.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
MCKENNA: Nadia, hi.
Didn't know you worked here.
Well, now you do.
I'm I'm McKenna, by the way.
I don't think I ever Yeah, we sorta covered that the other night.
You left in quite a hurry this morning, McKenna.
So, how did you know that guy was gonna die? Does it have something to do with that game? No, it has nothing to do with the game.
- It was just an accident.
- NADIA: Really? That friend of yours didn't seem to think so.
And the way you called it? I mean, come on.
That shit was practically play-by-play.
I don't remember.
NADIA: Oh.
So, you don't remember what you said about me, then? That I'd get in a fight.
Have my head bashed in.
Honestly, no.
But, um, maybe you could help me.
[FOREBODING MUSIC.]
How did we start playing that game? Um, all right.
Well, you left the park and then you came back.
We all went to that douchebag's lake house.
- Ridge.
- Yeah.
I was gonna ghost, but he said his parents had a fully-stocked liquor cabinet, so Did everyone go? No, it was just you, me, Ridge, that rocker chick, and that other guy.
- I forget his name.
- Well, think.
- Who was it? - I don't know, some rando.
- Was it Luke? - NADIA: "Luke"? Yeah, that sounds right.
It sounds right or it is right? NADIA: Yo, chill, Nostradamus.
I wasn't exactly there to make friends.
I'm sorry, I'm just trying to piece things together.
You remember how I said everyone else was gonna die? - No, I I'm done here.
- MCKENNA: Wait, why? Because you're up to something, bitch.
Listen, you need to tell me exactly what's going on or I'm gonna go find someone else to talk to.
Like the cops.
[GASPS.]
I'm sorry.
Um, I just I've never blacked out before and I think I might have been roofied or something.
I'm just kind of scared.
Oh.
I should go.
McKenna! You're being straight with me, right? - 'Cause if you're not - It's just a game, Nadia.
That's it.
I promise.
[SIGHS.]
[PHONE RINGING.]
Isaac.
- Hey, what's up? - ISAAC: Hey.
Hope I'm not interrupting or anything.
No, I'm not no.
ISAAC: I was just thinking about your offer the other night.
Just weird that I can't remember shit about what happened to me.
Yeah, that's really messed up.
I'm sorry.
Maybe we can go over it again? You could jog my memory.
You got a second? Yeah.
Yeah, but I'm actually I'm out running errands for my nana right now.
I can come by, though.
Yeah, that would be great.
Okay, great.
I'll be there in 15.
ISAAC: Okay.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
TREY: I'm psyched to be playing again, even if it is just for one night.
Yeah.
Your set's never been the same since you left, so thanks for doing this.
Yeah, no worries.
Um look, uh, about about the other night [STAMMERS.]
I'm sorry if I came in kind of hot with that kiss.
- That wasn't cool.
- You're fine.
No, no, I shouldn't have.
Look, I shouldn't have talked shit about your girlfriend.
I mean, your your ex-girlfriend.
Whatever.
Hey, let's just keep things about music, okay? - Cool? - Yeah.
No, yeah, 100%.
Um, I'm all about the music, yo.
[LAUGHS.]
[WATER RUNNING.]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Wow, you got here fast.
Yeah, sorry.
Your mom let me in.
- Should I - No, I'm almost ready.
Sit, chill.
You know, we could have talked on the phone.
I know, but I'm really happy to be here.
I wanna help you remember.
Cool, thanks.
So you do remember that day was pretty messed up? Unfortunately, yeah.
Yeah.
I was pretty freaked out after the Candace stuff, so you offered to walk me to my car.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC.]
And, um What? Well, you stayed with me for a little bit to make sure that I was okay.
But then you needed to go check on Candace.
But before you left You kissed me.
And you told me that no one was ever gonna hurt me again.
That can't be true.
[MUSIC DARKENS.]
Why would you say that? Violet, if I kissed you, Violet, if I kissed you, I'm pretty sure I never would have forgotten it.
[STARK, UNCERTAIN MUSIC.]
I kind of saw When did you become such an artist? I didn't.
It's just something I started doing in the hospital.
These are really good.
Who are these people? I don't know.
Just faces that come to me, I guess.
Well, you definitely have talent.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Hey, Brad and I are headed to Power Base and I need that pink cardigan I loaned you.
Tell you what, you can have everything in my closet if you just kill me now.
God, so dramatic.
What's the catastrophe? College applications.
I'm stuck on the essay.
When's it due? Tonight.
- At midnight.
- Alex.
- [GROANS.]
- Okay, fine.
Come on.
- Let's see what you've got so far.
- No That would be zilch.
Oh, come on.
You can do it.
Unless something else is bothering you.
[GROANS.]
Fine.
McKenna and I aren't speaking and and I may have made a move on this girl I started seeing, and it turns out it was the wrong one.
You mean Peri from the party.
I saw her at yoga.
- Did you talk to her? - Uh ALEX: Were you rude to her? "Rude" is such a subjective term.
I mean, to be honest, I'm really not a big fan of her.
Wow, you are unbelievable.
But, of course, I shouldn't be surprised that someone who actually likes me wouldn't meet your approval.
What can I say? High standards are the cornerstone to success.
You know, that should be your theme.
Do me a favor.
Stop screwing up my life.
Actually, Al, you are doing that all on your own.
[POP MUSIC PLAYING.]
Good luck with that essay.
[DOOR OPENS, SLAMS.]
[DOOR CREAKS OPEN.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
MCKENNA: Excuse me? Hi, I'm looking for Sammi Karras.
- [ICE RATTLING.]
- [STATIC HUMMING.]
TREY: McKenna? What are you doing here? Hi.
Um, I'm sorry.
[STAMMERING.]
You're playing here again? With my old band.
I told you about them, remember? Bit of Decay, right.
Wait, that was with Sammi.
That's Sammi.
Your ex-girlfriend.
Um, are you guys together? I I'm sorry, let me get this straight: you're giving me grief for playing music with a friend? This, after you're supposedly making out with some random at a party a few nights ago? Who told you that? Was it her? Only matters if it's not true.
Is it? Um [MELANCHOLY MUSIC.]
There's my answer.
Why do you care? - We're not together anymore.
- Exactly.
Which is why I'm still trying to figure out what you're doing here.
Yeah.
Now that you mention it, so am I.
[DOOR OPENS, SLAMS.]
[APPROACHING ENGINE RUMBLING.]
- Whoa! - [CAR HONKS.]
[PANTING.]
[SINISTER MUSIC.]
[CROWD CHEERING.]
[BAND PLAYING GRUNGY ROCK MUSIC.]
We watch Ouija board, spirit talk We creep Through the graveyard, we don't care Freeze our hearts with a stare Hold on tight, we're almost there Ah Kill all the lights Swing on the heavy chains No fear when darkness breathes New time for freaky nights Kill all the lights Cat got your tongue? Like you saw a ghost Cat got your tongue? Now you're a bag of bones [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
[CHEERING FADES.]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Are you kidding me right now? We need to talk.
Okay, this isn't too creepy.
What do you want? I saw those photos of you and all your friends on McKenna's Insta.
Even the dead ones.
Candace and Olivia.
What's your point? NADIA: Well, McKenna's being shady, so you wanna tell me exactly how two healthy members of your squad suddenly die within two weeks of each other? I don't know.
Life sucks.
Terrible things happen.
- Look, I - Don't bullshit me! [TENSE MUSIC.]
I played the game, and today I almost got my head bashed in.
Exactly like that girl predicted.
Wait, wait, wait.
Hold on.
You played Light as a Feather with Violet? Who's Violet? No, I played with your friend, McKenna.
Tell me the truth.
Am I in danger? - ALEX: Let go of me.
- Tell me now! APRIL: Hey, a little help here? This isn't over.
APRIL: Gone for a week.
Try not to burn the house down or OD on something.
I need your car.
I have a four-hour drive in front of me, so no.
- What's wrong? - I can't tell you why, but I need your car now.
Can you please just trust me on this? Is this about your college apps? No, this is way more important! More important than getting into a good school? April, stop! I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry.
I can't tell you why, but I am asking you as your sister.
Just please put all the crap between us aside and be there for me.
Okay, okay.
Okay, fine.
Go.
Thank you.
[CAR FRAME SQUEAKS.]
[LAUGHING.]
God, I'm still so pumped.
It's like being up there onstage gave me a shot of adrenaline or something.
- It was pretty sick.
- SAMMI: [LAUGHS.]
I guess I didn't realize how much I missed it.
Hmm.
[HVOB'S "A LIST".]
I've put my heart into your hand You know, I'm I'm sorry I didn't reach out after we broke up.
[SIGHS.]
It's cool.
I mean, I'm not sure I would have reached back.
Kinda had a lot going on too.
But, you know, today is a new day.
- Yes, it is.
- [BOTH LAUGH.]
That was the best time I've had in a while.
Thanks, Sammi.
SAMMI: You know maybe we could go back to the way things used to be.
I mean, maybe we could make you being back in the band a steady thing.
Hey, I promise to keep it 100% about the music.
Cross my heart, hope to die.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
I'd wish to have a robot heart But your songs tear me apart Running through my hand like sand I've tried to hold you, but I can't Is this the biggest chance we've missed? I'll put someday on the list I will put someday on the list [PHONE LINE TRILLING.]
VIOLET: This is Violet.
Leave a message after this.
- [VOICE MAIL BEEPS.]
- [SHAKY BREATHING.]
You were right.
So if you wanna gloat about it, then fine.
Go right ahead.
[SNIFFLING.]
I should have never talked to Nadia.
I shouldn't have talked to any of them.
It was a dumb idea to think that I could do this myself.
Everything is a million times worse.
You said that this would happen.
That the curse would rob me of my energy and my hope.
It has taken every single thing that I care about in this world, and I'm completely [SOBBING.]
I'm completely [KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
[PHONE CLICKS.]
[CURTAINS RATTLE.]
You played again? McKenna.
McKenna.
Is it true? [EXHALES SHARPLY.]
[SINISTER MUSIC.]
Oh, my God.
MCKENNA: [SHAKY BREATHING.]
ALEX: Are you all right? MCKENNA: Not really.
It's okay.
We got through this once before.
We'll do it again.
I wish I could believe that.
Take me away - [SHAKY BREATHING.]
- ALEX: It's gonna be okay.
I promise.
[PHONE CHIMING.]
I'm I'm sorry.
[PHONE CHIMING.]
Is everything okay? Somehow, yes.
- [SNIFFLES, SIGHS.]
- [PHONE CLICKS.]
Alex, what am I gonna do? I'm not sure, but we're gonna figure it out together.
Sometimes, you have to trust that the people who really love you are going to have your back.
I feel it, I feel it And I've got yours.
I feel it, I feel it, I feel it Come on.
I feel it There's a whisper in my bones Bones
