Light as a Feather

Previously on Light As a Feather...

What the hell is that?

Everyone's so concerned about you and these pills,

and then there's Jennie,

who died of a heart attack

- triggered by drugs. - What do you want?

We have to play Light As A Feather again...

you, me, McKenna, and Candace. Help convince them.

Your new Senior Class President is Violet Simmons!

I'm gonna prove that you killed Olivia.

You might be next.

She just threatened me!

No, you're a psycho!

She's crazy, and she killed Olivia!

Get her out! Get her out!

What is this? Where am I?

The Daybridge Center.

You're going to get better here.

The doctor will be in shortly.

Wait! Doctor?!

You haven't been answering my texts, Alex.

I know. I'm sorry, it's just...

McKenna and those guys are on to you already.

How am I supposed to convince her

to play Light as a Feather with you again?

Figure something out.

Lie or something.

You're good at that, right?

Look, you have until tomorrow.

After that, I'm gonna have to have

a really awkward conversation with McKenna about pills.

I looked up the names Lena gave us,

and everything checks out.

They all went to Kinney School with Marc and Violet,

and now they're dead...

food allergy, suicide, hit by a car.

That's it then.

We can't just sit around any longer.

We have to go there tonight.

Go where?

Uh, to Violet's.

I told them about the journal

I found when I slept over,

and they think we could find something useful in it.

Wait, no, guys, she's dangerous.

We can't just break into her house.

What if she catches us?

Alex, you almost died yesterday.

We can't waste any more time.

Violet's gonna be tied up with Olivia's tree dedication.

You guys can go to her house then,

and Alex and I will keep an eye on her.

Makes sense.

Fine. Tomorrow.

Okay, this is gonna sound crazy, but, um, I was just thinking,

and all of this is happening because of the game,

so maybe if we play the game again with Violet,

we can figure out what's going on.

You're right. That sounds absolutely crazy.

I'm just saying, we might get more information

out of the actual game than just some journal.

Olivia died playing that game.

There's no way we're going near that again.

I know.

Right. Dumb plan.

Are you okay?

You look kind of pale.

I'm fine.

Just didn't get much sleep.

I'll see you guys inside.

_ _

How are you feeling, Alex?

Like I just got trampled by a marching band.

What happened?

You fainted in the parking lot.

I need to ask,

when's the last time you ate something?

I'm not sure. Why?

Your blood pressure's low, your heart rhythm is irregular,

and you're severely dehydrated.

Is there anything you want to tell me?

No. I just haven't been taking good care of myself

since, you know.

But I'm fine, really.

Well, I talked to your parents,

and, given your history,

I'm gonna need to give you a drug test.

Wait. No.

I haven't been taking anything, I swear.

You can use the bathroom over there.

Alex.

Hey.

Hey.

Thanks.

Al,

I need you to tell me the truth.

Have you been using again?

No, I swear.

I just haven't been eating anything.

What do you want me to do?

Every time I open my mouth, I think I'm gonna choke.

I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't drink.

Look...

I know that I was upset about the pills,

but you know it's just because I was worried, right?

I can't lose you too, Alex.

And we're gonna get through this together,

I promise.

No.

No, it's all my fault.

I thought I could make it right,

- but I just made everything worse. -

Mack, I have to tell you something.

Oh, my God. It's Candace.

Candace, hey, are you okay?

We've been trying to call you for days.

Yeah, Alex is with me.

Wait, you mean right now?

Hey, um, I was thinking,

I don't think we should tell Candace about Isaac.

I don't know.

I mean, they were together, right?

Wouldn't she want to know?

I know, but I just...

I don't think she's gonna take it well,

and we don't want to give them

another reason to keep her here.

- Oh, my God, Candace! - Hey.

We're so happy you called. We were so worried.

Guys, thanks. I'm fine.

Really.

Are they treating you okay?

When can you get out of here?

Everyone's great.

Come on, I can show you around.

Back there is the group therapy and the relaxation room.

And this here's where we do yoga and group meditation classes.

I start a new class next week.

And my room is here.

Wait, next week?

How long are you planning on staying here?

I don't know. As long as I need to.

Candace, are you okay?

Yeah, why?

Last time we saw you,

you were trying to punch Violet in the throat.

Now you're in some rando therapy center doing yoga.

What's going on?

I needed help.

Great, I get that. But we really need your help, too.

We've been doing a lot of digging on Violet.

No, no, stop.

There have been a lot of people

who've played this game with her,

- and they're all dead! - Stop!

Look, this obsession with the game and Violet,

you guys need to let it go.

We can't just let it go, Candace.

What have they been telling you here?

Violet killed Olivia,

and now she's coming after all of us.

No, she isn't.

Look, I know when Olivia died, we were all spiraling,

looking for someone to blame.

But that night when I attacked Violet,

I couldn't even recognize myself.

Okay, so what are you saying?

I'm saying this place is helping me.

And if you guys can't understand that,

you just need to leave.

I don't know what's going on in that place,

but we have got to get her out of there.

It's Violet.

She must have gotten to Candace somehow.

She's after all of us.

Mack, wait, I need to tell you something.

What? Whatever it is, I'm sure it's fine.

No, you don't understand.

I'm the one that gave the pills to Jennie.

She... She knew I started taking them

when I joined the dance team.

She had three finals coming up, and she was so stressed out.

I knew you and Jennie had something wrong with your heart,

but I had no idea how bad it was.

And she just kept asking me.

And I know it's no excuse.

And I never should have hid it from you.

But I was so scared that you would hate me.

I'm sorry.

Why are you telling me this now?

Violet. She found out,

and she threatened to tell you unless...

Unless we played the game with her again.

I'm so sorry, Mack.

I was so worried about having you hate me

that I wasn't thinking straight.

But after what she did to Candace,

I'd rather have you hate me than put you in danger.

Right.

Like how you put Jennie in danger.
