00:18In case you're wondering, I don't hold seances very often.
00:22I can barely tolerate the living.
00:25Why would I want to commune with the dead?
00:28But my mother told me Goody is the only one that can train me to control my psychic ability.
00:34The sooner I master that, the sooner I crack this case.
00:37The sooner I start that, the sooner I start that.
00:56Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your, uh, do I even want to know?
01:02I was reaching into the Black Moir death to contact a relative.
01:06Feels very on brand for you.
01:07You have a relative named Goody?
01:09She was one of the original outcasts.
01:11Been attempting to summon her, but she seems to be ignoring my entreaties.
01:15Oh!
01:16You thought about using one of my scented candles?
01:18The aroma of steak tartare is to die for.
01:24Maybe Goody answered you after all.
01:31I doubt she communicates in magazine cutouts.
01:53You insisted on coming along.
01:56I was fine on my own.
01:57I was fine on my own.
02:16Ew.
02:17What died?
02:19Smells like childhood.
02:21Come on.
02:22Second thoughts?
02:23Why don't I just stay out here?
02:28She knows her.
02:29Look out.
02:30Come on.
02:38Don't talk to her.
02:39It's not fun.
02:42I'm lying.
02:56I see her back in the house.
02:58Hmm.
02:58I'm not lying.
03:00You did not know her vice versa.
03:00Enid?
03:14Whoever you are, show yourself.
03:17Try anything and you'll lose limbs.
03:20Surprise!
03:23Happy birthday to you.
03:28Happy birthday to you.
03:33Happy birthday, dear Wednesday.
03:38Happy birthday to you.
03:44I should have known you were behind this.
03:47What part of no party under the penalty of death do you not understand?
03:52I thought my cake design was pretty inspired.
03:55The pink balloon was my little touch.
03:57Why don't you make a wish?
04:03Wait, it's Latin.
04:07Fire will rain when I rise.
04:11Kay, that's not really a wish.
04:14The first part of that phrase was burnt on an Evermore's lawn.
04:18It can't be a coincidence.
04:20Wait.
04:21We're never eating that cake, are we?
04:37Crackstone, he's coming.
04:41Crackstone, he's coming.
04:53Goodie, you are the raven in my bloodline.
04:57Wednesday.
04:58I was told you could teach me how to control my ability.
05:01There is no controlling a raging river.
05:03You must learn to navigate it without your army.
05:06Time is not on our side.
05:10To stop Crackstone, this place you must seek.
05:16Do you always speak in riddles?
05:17Do you always seek simple answers?
05:20The path of a raven is a solitary one.
05:23You end up alone, unable to trust others.
05:25Only seeing the darkness within them.
05:28Is that supposed to scare me?
05:30It should.
05:48Careful.
05:49That's my cold shoulder.
05:51Don't blame Thing.
05:52The party was my idea.
05:53I believe everyone deserves to be celebrated on their birthday.
05:56I prefer to be vilified.
05:58What happened?
05:59It looked like you were having a seizure.
06:01I wasn't that lucky.
06:03Can I at least get some kudos for pulling one over on you?
06:07The subterfuge was impressive.
06:28May your 16th be as sour and misery-filled as your desire, your ever-doting mother and father.
06:33Last thing to hide it before they left on parents' weekend.
06:36Ew, that's so gross.
06:39I would have preferred live squirrels.
06:43While we're still accepting presents?
07:01Well?
07:02Do you like it?
07:04What is it exactly?
07:06It's a snood, silly.
07:08I made it in your signature colors.
07:09And you want to know what the best part is?
07:13I have one, too!
07:15We can wear them together to class.
07:18Oh, Enid, this is far too unique to wear to something like class.
07:23I suggest we wait for a more special occasion.
07:26Like a funeral.
07:28Oh.
07:31You know, Lucas feels terrible about what happened at the dance.
07:36Forgive my skepticism, given his latest act of vandalism.
07:39But he had nothing to do with burning those words onto your lawn.
07:42He's been grounded for the last week.
07:46Fine.
07:48He does his community service here, and we forget it ever happened.
07:52Yes, well...
07:54I'm in your debt, Larissa.
07:56I don't need your gratitude.
07:58Just find the delinquents responsible.
08:01Perhaps start with Luke's cohorts.
08:02Right after we track down whatever attacked the Oddinger boy.
08:05Although, all fingers would point to one of your own students.
08:10Careful, noble.
08:11My charity has its limits.
08:26Last night in the crypt, you had another vision, didn't you?
08:29I didn't realize we were back on speaking terms.
08:31I showed up to your surprise party. I figured that would have been a hint.
08:35What'd you see?
08:36You said I was ready to speak with you.
08:40You still think I'm the monster?
08:42Haven't ruled it out.
08:44Yeah, well, when you change your mind and you want my help, you know where to find me.
09:11Where'd you get that? The bracelet. Where'd you get it?
09:17Lucas, nice to meet you.
09:21Bianca.
09:21I know.
09:23Last week at the Weathervay, my dad said I had to get my act together.
09:26After he left, this woman in the next booth told me about this self-help app, Morning Song,
09:32said he could help me refocus my life.
09:34Usually I'd call BS on something like that, but for some reason...
09:38You believed her?
09:39Yeah.
09:40And she turned out to be right, so I signed up.
09:43And they sent me this.
09:46I guarantee Morning Song doesn't give a damn about your well-being.
09:49They're only interested in your money.
09:51Do yourself a favor, delete that app.
09:54The more you listen to them, the more they sink their claws into you.
09:57How do you know?
09:59I just do.
10:01Which is why I'm warning the normie idiot who ruined my killer dress with his bullshit prank
10:06to not get sucked into Morning Song.
10:10Because you're just the type they're looking for.
10:12Guessing that's not a compliment.
10:15What do you care anyway?
10:17I'm trying not to turn into my mother.
10:20She's like the ghost of bitchiness future.
10:25Hey.
10:27I'll be at the weather vane later if you want to stop by.
10:30Maybe we can exchange notes on self-improvement.
10:41I haven't always been against birthdays.
10:44Each one reminds me of my year closer to death's cold embrace.
10:49What's not to like about that?
10:52Besides, my parents always made sure my birthdays were memorable.
10:54Happy birthday to you.
10:59Perfect surprise.
11:03The perfect cake.
11:08The perfect party games.
11:10Happy birthday to you.
11:26But now, parties and presents and games...
11:33It all feels so trivial.
11:37Goody warned me I was destined to be alone.
11:39and that I'd be sorry for it.
11:45Dr. Kimbot, I haven't seen you
11:46since our session with your family,
11:48which was certainly one I won't forget.
11:51How are things going with them?
11:53My mother and I spent some quality time together.
11:55Got our hands dirty.
11:57Gardening?
11:58Grave digging.
12:00And I managed to keep my father out of prison.
12:04What brings you here?
12:07Eugene's mom's.
12:08I'm working with them.
12:09Trauma like this leaves emotional scars
12:11on the whole family.
12:13They had to head home for a few days,
12:14so I promised I'd check in on him.
12:18I'll leave you to it.
12:21Who's Goody?
12:27She's a very distant cousin.
12:30Very distant.
12:31Sounds like she doesn't see you
12:32for who you really are.
12:33She sees more than you know.
12:39I want to assure you
12:40I remain as cold and heartless
12:41as the first day we met.
12:43I doubt a cold, heartless person
12:45would be sitting by her friend's bedside
12:46feeling some modicum of guilt
12:48for his condition.
12:49I didn't ask for a free session.
12:50Consider it my birthday gift.
13:04Come in.
13:07This just arrived from London.
13:09Copy of an old death certificate you requested.
13:11Oh, thanks, Agnes.
13:13Oh, by the way,
13:14has Inez Bloom called again?
13:15You mean about the lights
13:16coming on at the old Gates place?
13:18A couple days ago,
13:19I referred her to the sheriff's office.
13:34I know you're usually a quad kind of girl,
13:37but I've been working on that all week.
13:40Birthday, yes.
13:41Happy, never.
13:43Is there any one thing didn't tell?
13:45Well, who do you think delivered the cake?
13:48Yeah, I went with a 98% dark chocolate ganache
13:51knowing your preferred color palette.
13:58Oh, is that Enid's gift?
14:01It's perfect if you're fleeing
14:02a war-torn country on foot.
14:04Come on, don't you like a day
14:05that's all about you?
14:06Every day is all about me.
14:08This one just comes with cake and a bad song.
14:12So, if I asked you out
14:14to a non-birthday, song-free dinner,
14:18would that be something you're interested in?
14:23I have a tight deadline.
14:25Emphasis on dead.
14:27Term paper?
14:29It's about how whitewashing
14:31the sins of our past
14:32will come back to kill us all.
14:34Oh.
14:46Have you seen that before?
14:48Um, what's that supposed to be?
14:52Never mind.
14:55Oh, excuse me again.
14:58Okay, did I do something?
15:02I just feel like ever since Cerevian
15:04you've kind of been ghosting me.
15:06Am I wrong?
15:13Guess I got my answer.
15:19Tall black, two sugars to go.
15:25That threat burned onto the lawn at school.
15:27It's also etched on the wall
15:29inside Crackstone's crypt.
15:31Don't tell me you've been out there
15:32digging up more bodies.
15:33There's a connection there.
15:34I know it.
15:36All right, well, I'll make sure
15:37I put out an APB on a dead pilgrim.
15:39I figured since you no longer
15:40have an old vendetta to obsess over,
15:42you're free to solve some real crime.
15:45Your father and I buried the hatchet.
15:46Maybe you should do the same.
15:49I don't bury hatchets.
15:51I sharpen them.
16:08I need your help.
16:10Don't gloat.
16:12What, do you want some drawing lessons?
16:13What, do you want some drawing lessons?
16:17Your line works a little shaky.
16:19I saw that in a vision.
16:21Do you recognize it?
16:31When did you draw this?
16:32A couple days ago.
16:34I started having those dreams again,
16:36like before.
16:37Was the monster in them?
16:39No, but I could feel it
16:42in the shadows, you know,
16:43kind of lurking in my mind.
16:46Do you know where this is?
16:48It's the old Gates mansion.
16:50I pass it when I go running.
16:53Why?
17:07Okay, listen.
17:12After the dance,
17:13I just wanted to forget about you,
17:14but I couldn't.
17:16So I started painting,
17:17and that's what came out, all right?
17:22I can hear you up there playing.
17:31I can tell how you get lost in the music.
17:34I feel like it's the only time
17:35I get to see the real you.
17:36I feel like it's the only time I get lost in the music.
18:06Aren't you a boyfriend?
18:09Definitely not.
18:11Sure. No problem.
18:13I was just leaving anyway.
18:20I didn't think you were actually gonna show.
18:23Me neither.
18:29Take your advice.
18:33Seriously, why are you here?
18:35I didn't think any outcasts would ever speak to me again.
18:40Just...
18:42wanted someone to talk to.
18:44I feel like we're in the same boat.
18:46My mother showed up last week to remind me that sirens can never change their scales.
18:51No matter how hard I try, there will always be people who look down on me.
18:56My mission is to prove her wrong.
18:58I just figured you could relate.
19:04Most people think I'll never amount to anything.
19:09And while we're being honest, I haven't done much to make them think differently.
19:15Why'd you trash the dance?
19:17I don't know.
19:19I guess I was angry that my dad was humiliated on outreach day.
19:23When I paid back.
19:25But then after we did it,
19:27it kinda felt like crap.
19:29I realized I needed to wipe the board, you know?
19:32To start over.
19:33If that makes any sense.
19:38More than you know.
19:47This is where Garrett Gates lived.
19:49The boy my father was accused of murdering.
19:54The sheriff told me his family died.
19:57Along with their legacy of hate.
20:00Ghosts don't kill the living.
20:03Goody showed me this house for a reason.
20:05I need to unlock its secrets.
20:07Or die trying.
20:47I need a distraction.
20:51Sheriff, pick up your damn phone. It's noble.
20:53Listen, I might have figured out who's behind all of this.
20:58It's a long shot, so I'm gonna have to lay it out for you.
21:02We'll do it over pie at the Weatherbank.
21:04Just like the old days.
21:06See you soon.
21:08See you soon.
21:35See you soon.
21:51You're not happy.
21:54You're good.
21:56God!
22:05Come on!
22:10Call 911!
22:12Get an ambulance!
22:20He's alive.
22:22Barely.
22:24I'll take you back after I get your statement.
22:27I already gave it to your deputy.
22:29Blue Cadillac with no license plates.
22:31Yeah, I know.
22:35I want a better one.
22:37What were you doing in the back of the mayor's SUV?
22:40I saw him coming out of the Gates' mansion.
22:42The Gates' mansion?
22:43What the hell were you doing there?
22:45House hunting.
22:49I overheard the voicemail he left you.
22:51I was intrigued.
22:55Back when the mayor was sheriff,
22:56he used to have a lot of wild theories
22:57on cases that he couldn't solve,
23:00so we would dissect him over,
23:02probably sitting right back there in that booth.
23:04Most of the time, they went nowhere.
23:07Call me old-fashioned,
23:08but when someone has run over on their way
23:09to give the police key information,
23:11it usually means they were on to something.
23:13And all signs point to the Gates family in that house.
23:16The Gates family?
23:19How?
23:19They're all dead, every last one of them.
23:21And I don't believe in ghosts.
23:22Maybe you should.
23:31How do you manage to end up at the center
23:33of every terrible thing that happens around here?
23:36Incredible luck.
23:37As of now, the school is on full lockdown.
23:39And your off-campus privileges are revoked
23:42until further notice.
23:54Wednesday.
23:56I just heard what happened to Mayor Walker.
23:58Are you all right?
23:59I can't imagine witnessing something like that.
24:02It was on my bucket list.
24:05You can tell the warden I'm still in my cell.
24:08Principal Weems is only looking out for your best interests.
24:12You could have been seriously hurt.
24:14Or worse.
24:19How goes the novel?
24:21Viper's investigation has been thwarted on several fronts,
24:24but she's plotting her next course of action.
24:28Sounds intriguing.
24:30I saw this on my bookshelf and thought of you.
24:35Mary Shelley wrote it on a dare when she was only 19.
24:38I know.
24:39She's both my literary hero and nemesis.
24:42I now have two years and 364 days to beat her.
24:46Well, I think it's very smart that you're focusing
24:48on literary monsters and leaving whatever real ones
24:51might be out there to the authorities.
24:54No man chooses evil because it is evil.
24:56He only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks.
24:59Mary Shelley wrote that line to describe people like Weems,
25:02who do bad things under the guise of protecting the greater good.
25:06Did she put you up to this?
25:08Encourage me to pursue other interests?
25:10No.
25:11But she will expel you if you continue to defy her.
25:15So you're only looking out for my best interests?
25:18Always.
25:20I think we're a lot alike.
25:21We aren't.
25:23I don't need your help or your pity.
25:25I already have a mother and a therapist.
25:27That's enough torture, even for me.
25:50Hello?
25:51I've reconsidered your offer.
25:53My offer?
25:54The non-birthday dinner.
25:57Really?
25:58That's great.
26:01When are you free?
26:02Pick me up outside the Nevermore gates at 8 o'clock.
26:05Cut your lights.
26:09Wednesday?
26:11Ty, what did I tell you?
26:14Come on, bud.
26:15Steer clear of Wednesday, Adam.
26:16She's the kind of girl who's gonna get you hurt.
26:19Believe me, I know the type.
26:21What, is that supposed to be about Mom?
26:24No, of course not.
26:25That would require you to actually talk about her.
26:38I can't deal with this right now.
26:41I gotta get to the hospital.
26:42I gotta check on the mayor.
26:43Be home before curfew.
26:45Did you ever even love her?
26:53More than you could ever know.
27:06I've been thinking about my less than enthusiastic response to your surprise soiree.
27:11And I must admit, I regret not showing my gratitude towards you more appropriately.
27:18You really mean it?
27:19Take the win, Enid.
27:21If only there were a way for us to get off campus and have a little birthday redo.
27:26Just two best friends.
27:28Too bad the school is on lockdown.
27:33Dude, look at that full moon.
27:38Oh!
27:39How about I say I'm about to wolf out and get a pass to the Lupin Cages
27:42and say you volunteered to lock me in?
27:44My deviousness has finally rubbed off on you.
27:48Thing.
27:50You know what to do, right?
27:56Oh!
27:57We should wear our snoods!
28:00Oh, I...
28:02I believe I left mine at fencing.
28:03Actually, you left yours at the weather vane.
28:06Luckily Bianca brought it back.
28:08Like a monkey's paw.
28:09I'm sorry, дома.
28:10I don't know, you're the last one.
28:24I don't know for this.
28:25She's just doing such thing.
28:26I know.
28:29She's doing such a company.
28:30She's doing such a company and everything.
28:30I, she's doing such a company.
28:33She's doing such a company right to me in my office.
28:41Wait, he's our Uber driver?
28:43Uber driver?
28:44I thought we were going on a date.
28:46I thought this was a girl's night out.
28:48There's been a change of plans.
28:50Okay, what's up with the weird matching hoodie scarf things?
28:53Don't ask, just drive.
29:12Hey, Wednesday?
29:16You guys in here?
29:19Listen, I know you're still mad about the painting, okay,
29:21but I just want to talk to you for a second.
29:32Where does she think?
29:43Seriously?
29:44You want to go in there?
29:46This place is creepy AF.
29:48I know.
29:51Okay, this isn't what I signed on for.
29:53Ditto.
29:54I didn't want to celebrate my birthday by going to dinner or a surprise party.
30:00I want to do this.
30:03Then you should have just said so.
30:05You didn't have to trick us.
30:08If you want to go, you can.
30:11I'm going to go check out the garage.
30:36Hey, let me try.
30:48This is pointless.
30:50Can I try?
30:57Whoa.
31:02It's a werewolf thing.
31:14This is the car that hit the mayor.
31:16Okay, this just took a dark turn.
31:19We need to call Tyler's dad right freaking now.
31:22Why?
31:24So he can take me back to Nevermore and get me expelled?
31:27It's not going to happen.
31:39This is the night I'm going to die.
31:41This is the night I'm going to die.
32:00This is the night I'm going to die.
32:01Here they are.
32:02The Gates family.
32:04They scrub up well for psychopaths.
32:08There's Garrod.
32:10His outcast-hating father, Ansel.
32:12And you must be Laurel.
32:14They're all long gone.
32:16So the question is,
32:18why did Goody lead me here?
32:20I'm going to die.
32:46Seen enough?
33:15Who doesn't have a spooky built-in altar in their family library?
33:19Ours is in the living room.
33:21More seating for a year-long Dia de los Muertos.
33:46We're still warm.
33:49All right, Tyler.
33:50You check the rest of the ground floor.
33:52Inid and I will search upstairs.
33:54We will.
33:56We will.
34:10All right.
34:11You go left.
34:12I go right.
34:13You seriously want to split up?
34:15In here?
34:16That is literally how every best friend dies in a horror movie.
34:19The faster we search, the sooner you can leave.
34:23No, no, no, no.
34:24No, no, no.
34:25No, no, no, no.
34:26No, no, no, no.
34:29Why am I even here?
34:35I know what my mom would say.
34:38Enid, you're a doormat.
34:42You're too needy.
34:44Show some teeth.
34:45Nobody likes a desperate little furball.
34:47Shut up, mom.
34:48Get out of my head.
34:56Wednesday, you need to see this.
35:10The bed's made.
35:12No dust or cobwebs.
35:21LG.
35:31Laurel Gates.
35:34Looks like somebody moved back into their old room.
35:36It's not possible.
35:38She died 25 years ago, drowned overseas.
35:43Let's go.
35:45This is officially the worst girls' night out ever.
35:49Hey, get out.
35:50It's here.
35:56Get down later.
35:57Go.
36:06Oh, my God.
36:08Oh, my God.
36:08Oh, my God.
36:29No, no, no, no, not your snoot.
36:31Stop it.
36:38Oh, my God.
36:40Oh, my God.
36:47Oh, my God.
37:03Oh, my God.
37:34What are you doing?
37:37These are the body parts missing from the monster's victims.
37:39Come on!
37:49You okay?
37:50Since when do you care?
37:56Winston, what the hell are you thinking?
37:58We have to go back for Tyler.
38:01The monster's back there!
38:06Inid, hold this.
38:07The thing is still inside.
38:09You're here. Can you walk?
38:12Where'd you come from?
38:14Here. Take this.
38:18What happened to him?
38:29Thanks, Doc.
38:31Not to make this about me, but I am having a full-blown panic attack right now.
38:36We need to get back before Reams realizes we'll be gone.
38:41What the hell happened?
38:43This was you, wasn't it?
38:44Wait, Dad, please. I'm okay.
38:47Sheriff, I understand you're upset, but I think you need to see something.
39:01It was all here.
39:04The body parts and the blue Cadillac, the altar and the bedroom filled with fresh roses.
39:10Well, it's all gone now.
39:12Somebody cleared this place out after we left.
39:15Listen, yesterday I told you all signs pointed to this house, and I was right.
39:19Is that your justification for almost getting my son and your friends killed?
39:22Huh?
39:25Now, you listen to me.
39:27From this point forward, you are forbidden from seeing Tyler,
39:31and you are forbidden from pursuing anything to do with this case.
39:34Understood?
39:48You directly violated my explicit order and left campus during a lockdown.
39:53Not to mention putting your peers and yourself in danger.
39:58Which is grounds for expulsion, I know.
40:00And you have every right to exercise that option.
40:04I do believe it would be a grave error on your part.
40:08I think contrition might be in order right now, Miss Adams.
40:12Not hubris.
40:13I'll never apologize for trying to uncover a truth.
40:25What is this?
40:27It's a warning from Rowan.
40:39Is this why he tried to kill you?
40:41His mother drew it before she died.
40:43Said I was destined to destroy the school.
40:47But I think I'm meant to save it.
40:49Now, you know what's at stake.
40:51Everything you vowed to protect, no less.
40:54I think I deserve another chance.
41:12One more infraction.
41:16One more step out of line, and you will be expelled.
41:20No ifs, no buts.
41:23Enid and Xavier are spared as well.
41:24And no more negotiation.
41:27Good night.
41:41Where are you going?
41:43Yoko's room.
41:44Throwing a hillside, I could crash there for a few nights.
41:48There's no need.
41:49I spoke with Wienge.
41:50You and Xavier won't be punished.
41:52Am I supposed to thank you?
41:53I already apologized.
41:55It's over.
41:58Over?
42:00Tonight was just the icing on the birthday cake you couldn't even be bothered to cut.
42:05You will use anyone to get what you want, even if it means putting them in danger.
42:09We could have died tonight because of your stupid obsession.
42:12But we didn't.
42:15And now I'm one step closer to solving this case.
42:17That is what is important.
42:22I've tried really, really, really hard to be your friend.
42:29Always put myself out there, thought of your feelings, told people, I know she gives off serial killer vibes, but
42:36she's really just shy.
42:37I never asked you to do that.
42:39You didn't have to, because that's what friends do.
42:41They don't have to be asked.
42:44And the fact that you don't know that says everything.
42:48You want to be alone, Wednesday?
42:50Be alone.
42:53Be alone.
43:14You want to be alone, Wednesday?
43:14You want to be alone, Wednesday?
43:15You want to be alone, Wednesday?
43:15You want to be alone, Wednesday?
43:15You want to be alone, Wednesday?
43:16You want to be alone, Wednesday?
43:16You want to be alone, Wednesday?
43:17You want to be alone, Wednesday?
43:17You want to be alone, Wednesday?
43:19You want to be alone, Wednesday?
43:25Goody warned that I was destined to be alone.
43:28Maybe it's inevitable.
43:31But for the first time in my life,
43:34it doesn't feel good.
43:44There's also something else.
43:48A gnawing feeling.
43:52That death is close at hand.
43:57Watching me.
44:17But I won't be intimidated, and I will never give up.
44:23That house.
44:26That family.
44:29Crackstone.
44:32The monster.
44:35Somehow me.
44:38We all seem to be connected like a spider's web.
44:44And when Mayor Walker got too close to the truth,
44:47he was silenced.
44:52But I won't be.
45:00So whoever's watching me,
45:03know this.
45:08I will find you.
