"Eyes Without Heads"

YouTube

***"Eyes Without Heads"*** is the seventeenth episode of KOllOK 1991.

## Synopsis

Leaderless, Billy and Tibby try to pull their group back together. Meanwhile, the FBI with Ties investigate the southern tower.

## Plot

“Kollok, Washington. 1991. A very real town in a place yet discovered. Though you can not walk its ash-covered streets, it is not unlike your town, or how your town may soon be. It is our white picket fence. Our waving American flag. Our Budweiser while it was still a domestic brand.

It’s our nuclear family we told ourselves we wanted. Our corporate overlords told us so, so it must be true. That is, this is once, and is, our American dream. I am your driver. I care not how this journey goes, or how you fare at the end of it. I take us forward and sometimes backwards, if you ask nicely enough. Despite my best interests, I drive for you…”

Wednesday, March 16th. Or is it 19th? It depends on who you ask…

A middle aged man waits for his shift at the Kollok Volunteer Fire Department. He laments his current situation, wondering if he has what it takes to complete the job. He suffers from body pain as well as the sight of the dead and broken bodies he had seen on duty. He puts on his blue flannel shirt, grabs his black cotton beanie, and steel toed boots. He needs gasoline, though there is a five-gallon a day restriction due to a tanker not making it to town. A man calls for him, a man in full hazard gear. “Bunny. Hey! Bunny! What the hell are you doing? You have to be suited up past the entry marker. You’re not even wearing a mask! You’re going to choke to death!” The first man, Bunny, does not notice that he hasn’t checked in, nor has he put on the gear he needs for his health. He does not know how long he has been there. His eyes trace to the ground and sees a perfectly clean piece of glass.

He sees a man, dressed in a clean black suit, with his face, though he knows deep down that this is not his reflection. He reaches out at the man in the glass, and the other man reaches out as well. He touches the glass and feels a surge of energy tracing up his right arm and a chill on his spine. That is the last thing he thinks before he thinks no more. He turns to the man in the hazmat suit. “The eye of the world. Your media. Where can I find them?” The man in the hazmat suit points in the direction of the relief center at the opposing side of town, and Bunny walks that direction, leaving his truck behind.

Skye, Em Pegg, and Sayaka

Skye Hawkins, Em Pegg, and Sayaka kneel behind thick brush as local law enforcement greet Agent Bucket at the Mickelson’s house. They do not know why Marcus was at Sammy’s house; they only know that Sammy has died. Bucket sent Marcus on a helicopter back to the FBI headquarters - it has become clear that the FBI wants to keep the remaining kids with powers a secret.

Skye realizes that they need to keep a low profile. Em Pegg and Sayaka note that they have all received the same FBI training, so they are able to make it back to the FBI building. Sayaka believes that she can become invisible\* to help them make it across town, though she really just ducks into the brush behind them. Em Pegg proposes that they instead sneak across town using back streets and, if necessary, they run or fight people seeking to catch them.

Sayaka still believes she is invisible, so she suggests that the others walk behind her to become invisible as well. She believes this because, in her life prior to this, she was ignored because “no one cares about her” or notices her. “That’s is a shy Asian girl’s thing,” she says. Skye disagrees, but goes along with it. Sayaka proposes that the three go to Taco Bell to “make sure [it’s] okay.” The other two agree to follow her lead, not knowing that the Taco Bell is one of the busiest places in town due to the restriction on purchasing gasoline.

Billy and Tibby

Portland, Oregon. The Portland Suites. Tibby wakes up Billy and tells him that Mickey never came back. They decide that they need to knock on Mickey’s dad’s room, though they are scared to do so because they believe a “bad guy” could be in the room. Billy suggests that he uses his power to make them invisible. Tibby rejects this plan, not wanting to destroy an entire universe for this. Billy yells back at him, stating that they need to look out for themselves.

After a back and forth, Billy attempts to call the neighboring room, which is registered to Michael Jones. When he asks for Mickey, the woman who answers becomes “aggressively inquisitive” as to who he is, causing Billy to hang up. They decide to call room service for Mickey’s dad’s room as a distraction. In doing so, Billy pretends that he is Mickey Jones, since the hotel room was put in her name. However, they soon find out that the hotel doesn’t offer room service. The operator hangs up on Billy after he requests this.

Billy then decides to call for towels to be delivered to Mike Jones’ room, thinking of this as another excuse for the door to open. As the towels are being delivered, Billy and Tibby realize that the person who knocks on the door may be greeted by a “bad guy,” potentially with a gun. To avoid a potential accident, Billy instead requests that the towels are delivered to “Mickey’s” room. The delivery woman is initially skeptical of their intentions with the towels (leading to a humorous exchange), but she drops the towels on the bed and walks away.

Billy and Tibby then decide to pretend they are housekeeping, knocking on the door to the Jones room. Mickey’s mom recognizes Tibby’s voice and lets them into the room. They then find that Mickey and her father are not in the room; Mickey’s mom had told her that her dad never came back. Mickey’s eyes then rolled into the back of her head, according to her mother, and when she came to, she quickly left the hotel. Billy and Tibby state that they will go find Mickey, and they deny that they had anything to do with what happened in Kollok.

Mickey’s mother tells the two that she doesn’t know what to do; Michael had told her that she could not get the police involved if he went missing. Billy states that he can call “someone” else for help (Agent Bucket). Tibby is surprised that he had the ability to do this all along, but Billy claims that he had forgotten in the chaos. Billy pulls out Bucket’s business card that he had been given and uses it to get a hold of Bucket. Tibby asks to use the Jones phone (believing they would be unable to call out since they had angered the towel delivery woman, who was also the hotel manager).

Billy volunteers to call Bucket and inform him of what has gone on; Tibby claims this is because Billy “doesn’t have remorse,” which makes him the best person to deliver the bad news. Billy calls Bucket and is told that Marcus is injured and that Sammy Reilly has been killed. Sammy had been trying to kill Marcus, and a man in black had snapped Sammy’s neck. Bucket shot at the man in black and hit him twice, but the man got away. Billy questions whether Sammy’s outburst was his fault, and Bucket questions why he would believe that. Billy is unable to give a clear answer, simply saying that his powers may have caused some sort of issue.

At this point, Billy realizes that the call might need privacy, so Tibby (forcibly) ushers Mrs. Jones out of the room, stating that it was an “important FBI business call.” Billy tells Bucket that “they rode an asteroid to Portland.” Bucket questions why they were there, and Billy says that he’s not really sure why they decided this was a good idea. Billy then tells Bucket that the group has been split - Mike and Lexi went off together, and Mickey pursued her father. Bucket remands Billy, saying that the group was supposed to remain at the waterfall until they were picked up. Billy claims to not remember this.

After clearing it with his director, Bucket sets off to Portland to meet the group, using a private helicopter to do so. Billy and Tibby discuss Tibby’s power, debating whether or not Tibby would be able to heal himself, especially if he was close to death. Bucket tells the two to remain at the hotel and wait for him.

Mike and Lexi

Lexi and Mike find themselves under a bridge in Portland after fleeing the group. The bridge is in the vicinity of a park and is near a camp of homeless people. Mike nervously looks over his back in case they were followed. Lexi questions Mike as to why Mike had not gotten rid of the knife his still had. Mike believes that, hypothetically, he may have stabbed Tibby, owing to the fact that he had the knife. He does not remember this, though, and neither does Lexi. He believes it is best to confront the issue rather than run for it, as the group could possibly find out whether or not he got rid of the evidence.

Lexi reasons that Billy may have used his powers to alter their minds, though Mike quickly shoots this down. Mike then claims that the two are on the outs from the group, as their recent actions have alienated them. Lexi states that they should return to the group, and that the knife is his decision, to get rid of it or bring it along. A group of homeless men notice them, and slowly begin making their way towards the pair.

Skye, Em Pegg, and Sayaka

Sayaka, Skye, and Em Pegg continue to move towards the Taco Bell/gas station. Skye claims that the group is disguised enough to make their way through without drawing attention, though she quickly realizes that the gas station is so busy that they may be noticed after all. The three then hear a stick crack nearby, as if someone walked on it. Skye initially believes this was Sayaka making noise, though Sayaka denies it. The three then hear a snicker, and someone clears their throat. They do not see any other people near them, however. Skye calls out for this person, and demands that they show themselves. Em Pegg and Sayaka try to stop her, but Skye persists.

The person calls out “No wait, don’t go.” This person claims to be right in front of them, though the group does not see anyone. He then introduces himself as Nick Blakely, a student who was on the trip and received powers. His particular power was invisibility, though he has no control over how to use it. He followed the group because he believed they could help him. He was originally at the waterfall, though he couldn’t remember why he was called there. When no one showed up, he saw the group and followed them. Nick also followed the group because he was hungry and he heard the group talk about Taco Bell.

Sayaka believes that, rather than having an invisibility power, Nick is a ghost. Em Pegg argues against this, though Sayaka is persistent. Sayaka convinces Nick that he is, in fact, dead. Nick claims that he was going to use his invisibility to get them Taco Bell, which excites Em Pegg and Sayaka. Believing he is a ghost, Sayaka also believes he can fly, and she convinces him of this as well. Em Pegg tries to stop Nick, though Nick had already climbed a pole and was about to jump off of a two story building in order to fly. Predictably, Nick falls from the building, making a print on the ground in the shape of a body.

Nick survives the fall, though; however, he is severely injured. Seeing that he is in pain, Sayaka offers her help to “finish” (to euthanize Nick). Em Pegg stops her from doing so, and tries to pick Nick up. Nick, in severe pain, begs the group for help, as he did not want to die. As an aside, Skye questions Sayaka as to whether she wants the group to help her if she is injured, or if she wants the group to euthanize her. Sayaka claims the latter, leading Em Pegg and Skye to question why they brought her on the mission at all.

Since Nick is still invisible and the group are unsure whether the FBI has equipment to see him, the group decides that they can use the sauce packets from Taco Bell to make him visible. They would spread the sauce over his body in order to do so. They first suggest that Sayaka uses her “invisibility” to go to Taco Bell and gather as many sauce packets as possible.

However, Em Pegg decides to use her powers in order to complete this and get the group to the tower. She first goes to Taco Bell for the sauce packets and, after spreading it across Nick’s body, she brings him to the FBI’s temporary headquarters. She then would transport the group to the tower. Skye and Sayaka question her as to why she didn’t suggest this sooner, but Em Pegg notes what the use of her power would cost her. She activates her power and sets about completing her goal, not knowing that she would be in this state of limbo for two full months. She finds a car for the group first, then goes to the beach in order to take her mind off of her current situation. She drives four hours west of Kollok to relax. She loses track of time, though, and barely makes it back to the tower before time unfreezes.

Em Pegg makes her way into the lobby of the tower, which had sustained damage in the blast. As she does, Sayaka and Skye unfreeze, and time begins moving again. Em Pegg is very happy to hear Skye’s voice and gives sky a big hug. Skye reasons that the group need to go upstairs, as Rachel’s journal had guided them there. Skye looks over at security and notices the guard fixated on a breaking news broadcast.

This broadcast is Chien-Shiung Wu, who is giving a statement on the explosion on behalf of Synchroniety. She first blames the attack on the Stone Masons. She then names each of the students who were involved in the blast and states that the event may have caused them to have “inexplicable” chemicals on their persons. These chemicals only seemed to affect individuals under the age of 20. The group was isolated, with Mike and Lexi receiving medical treatment from Synchroniety. Dr. Wallis Ronnie informed the company that Marcus Bennett, Burke Chapman, and Tibby Devin had been admitted to the hospital. Ronnie informed the company shortly after that Marcus, Burke, and Tibby had left the hospital, and Lexi and Mike had fled Synchroniety. Synchroniety contacted the group’s family and friends to look out for them. Lexi’s mother informed the authorities that Lexi had surfaced outside the house, and she was glowing orange. Ms. Wu continues to hypothesize that the gun shots used in an effort to stop Lexi had caused an emotional reaction which led to an explosion. Ms. Wu claims that, had they remained under Synchroniety’s custody, the explosion could have been avoided. Ms. Wu presumed that Lexi and Mike had died in the blast, but cautions that the other kids are a danger. She then states that Synchroniety is developing a method to track those affected by chemicals like the explosion, and they will be working to find and capture them.

Ms. Wu then goes off script, claiming that the city should be doing more to stop the Stone Masons. This speech is much less composed than the previous statement she had given. Shortly after, she was pushed aside by the new Bunny, who orders the media to gather “their leaders” at “the Beacon.” They will be held responsible for “their crimes” against their world (Earth 242).

Intimidated, Skye wonders if they should go upstairs, as they are being hunted and their names/identities had just been disclosed on television. They hear the sound of an elevator open, though, and try to sneak their way onto it. Skye and Em Pegg duck behind plants and other small, decorative features in the lobby. Sayaka, however, uses her ability to be unnoticed to confidently stroll up to the elevator. Skye and Em Pegg are amazed by this, and, entering the elevator, begin to ascend to the 60th floor.

While on the elevator, Skye tells the others an abbreviated version of the group’s previous adventures. She tells them that there are other people with powers, and specifically reports that Billy was “made in a lab,” and he is known as “The Great Diviner.” Em Pegg and Sayaka discuss with Skye whether or not this makes Billy a bad person. In the process of this, Sayaka claims that she, herself, is not a good person, and that she doesn’t trust herself. Em Pegg wonders aloud why she didn’t take Sayaka back to the FBI headquarters while she had the chance.

The elevator door opens and the group gets off. They make their way to an open door and, because she is the “leader,” Skye volunteers to go first. She calls out, but nobody answers. She pushes the door the rest of the way open and finds that the room is completely white, and no one is inside of it. She pauses after seeing dried blood, spelling out backwards lettering, as if it is to be read from the other side of the glass wall. They strain to read it, and the message says “I don’t need all of you alive. Behave.”

[During an intermission, Kate Elliott has joined the table.]

Billy, Tibby, and Bucket

Bucket’s helicopter lands outside the Portland Suites. Billy and Tibby greet him shortly after, and ask for his help to find Mickey, Mike, and Lexi. Bucket questions as to how he should be able to do this if the others do not want to be found. Bucket claims that it is “not that easy,” but suggests that Billy uses his ability to help. Tibby objects to this, stating that Billy will not be using his ability unless it is absolutely necessary. Billy believes it is necessary to help his friends. Billy is unable to convince Tibby of this. Billy argues that they cannot return to Kollok without their friends, or at least without Mickey. He claims that they need to take care of themselves first. Bucket then dismisses Tibby, stating that he needs to talk to Billy alone.

Bucket asks Billy as to what his idea for fixing the issues are. He claims that Billy is right, and the group needs to prioritize their own problems. Billy’s idea is to use his power to write a message in the sky that everyone could see, but only his friends could understand. He writes in the sky “I don’t care what’s in your pants. Meet me for chocolate milk. 8pm.” Billy leads Bucket and Tibby to Brahm’s, though Bucket first suggests that they wait for the clouds to dissipate before getting Tibby.

Mike and Lexi

The two are being harassed by an older man. He is soliciting Lexi, claiming that “she is by herself,” and that he only sees her. Mike tries to interject into the conversation, but he is dismissed by the man. Lexi states that the two have no money, but the man is only interested in sex. Lexi tries to escape with Mike, but the man cuts them off. He grabs Lexi’s arm to stop her. Lexi unsuccessfully tries to shake him off. Mike offers to help, but Lexi refuses. The man pulls Lexi in tighter, to the point where his breath is on her. Lexi screams, but she is ignored.

Mike, angered, turns harder than diamonds. Mike charges into the man, but is unsuccessful in breaking his hold. Mike looks for an object to hit the man while Lexi yells and flails against him. Rather than fight, Lexi lights her arms on fire; her eyes begin to glow as she does this. The man first tries to let go, but he is unable to before he is set completely on fire. Mike tries to stop the fire, finding a blanket and patting the fire out. Mike tells Lexi that she cannot do that, but she responds with “what else were we going to do?” Mike claims that “they can’t kill their problems,” and Lexi kicks the man as he is writhing in pain. Lexi turns and walks away, and Mike tells her of the message in the sky. They set off towards Brahm’s.

Skye, Em Pegg, and Sayaka

Back at the tower, Skye, Em Pegg, and Sayaka make their way towards the glass window. Skye recognizes the window from Rachel’s journal, though there was no blood on it. Through the window, Skye sees a woman waving at them. She points at the message on the window, saying that she believes the message was for this woman. The woman waving is in the opposite tower, making Skye somewhat frantic; she believes that they should go to that tower. Em Pegg and Sayaka question her as to whether she wants them to take that risk. The elevator dings, and Skye realizes there is nowhere to hide.

They hear footsteps, which do not sound like human footsteps. They move in a quick sequence, clicking across the floor. Em Pegg believes they have walked into a trap, as they hear the footsteps moving closer and something brushing the wall. They see, through the shadows, a human face, blank and expressionless, surrounded by matted gray hair which lean back into its wolf-like body. Its face leans down to the ground, and its eyes make contact with the group. They begin to panic, and Em Pegg questions Skye as to what the safest place in town is. Sayaka questions if the woman in the tower is crazy and worth saving, and Em Pegg questions Skye as to what the safest place in town is.

Skye activates her power, and gains the power of palpalgia. The monster moves closer, and Skye becomes frantic wondering what her power is. Skye tries to stop her, grabbing Em Pegg’s right arm and causing it to become paralyzed. Em Pegg plans to take the other two to her house and return to the opposite tower to retrieve the other woman. Em Pegg has four months in the void to make this happen. After she completes this, she remains at her house to avoid potentially missing time’s restart, trying in vain to get feeling back in her arm. To do so safely and unnoticed, Em Pegg locks her in her family’s basement.

Skye is excited to see that they have made it out safely. She still wonders why her powers did not work, claiming that she really does have powers like the others. She tries to hug Em Pegg, though Em Pegg recoils at this. Skye is shocked to realize that Em Pegg had been in the void for four months, while Em Pegg tries to angle her body so that her paralyzed arm is out of view. Skye is also shocked to realize that Em Pegg did not kill the monster in the tower; rather, she simply took the others away from the tower.

Skye begins talking to the mysterious woman, who is muttering about Rachel Jewell. The woman is surprised to hear that Skye knows who Rachel is. The woman begins stammering about how there are “others,” and asks whether the group had “found” them. The woman states that they have to stop “her.” Skye asks what had happened in the tower, and questions if the message was for her. The woman claims that the message was for one of her sisters, who had already been killed. Skye tells the woman that Rachel is dead, and the woman is saddened, stating that Rachel was going to stop Synchroniety.

Skye gives an abbreviated explanation of her contract and Mammon. The woman wonders why they came to retrieve her, and Skye says that the journal had led them there and that they have to stop Synchroniety. She apologizes for the woman’s sister, and the latter states that there are more of them in the tower. The woman introduces herself as Clarity, and Skye realizes that she is an Anah. Skye is shocked, and tells the others that Clarity Anah founded Synchroniety. Clarity states that this was Clarity Prime, and the other Claritys were not involved. Clarity Prime had killed the other “sister” and was going to kill her as well. Clarity is unsure as to how many of her sisters are alive.

Sayaka asks why Clarity Prime tried to kill her, and Clarity responds again that “she only needs one.” She began taking from the others in order to live longer, and Skye is shocked to realize that Clarity Prime is still alive. Clarity says this is why she reached out to Rachel - to get help to stop Clarity Prime. Skye shows Clarity the picture of the Gorgon in Rachel’s diary and says that she believes Rachel had found her and that she was on the trail of her. Rachel was trying to solve this before she was taken, though this did not have anything to do with why she ended up dying. The picture of the Gorgon is crudely drawn, but Clarity realizes that it is Clarity Prime.

Skye, Em Pegg, and Sayaka question how Clarity Prime is making her plan happen. Em Pegg questions whether the FBI is involved, believing the older woman at the FBI could be similar to Clarity Prime. Clarity insists that she be taken to the Greer farm as James Greer was the only person she knew now. Skye is shocked to realize that she knows James Greer, as he is approximately 80 years old. Clarity claims that they grew up together and that Clarity had helped raise him. Skye questions Clarity about if she was grown in a lab, but she denies this. Clarity withholds the fact that she came from a ship that crashed in 1899. Before doing so, Skye tells her that the group received powers from the accident at Synchroniety, and that they are technically wanted by the police. Skye warns her that getting her there will be hard because of this.

Skye asks Sayaka to ask Clarity if she is a clone. (She does this because Sayaka is good at asking inappropriate questions.) Clarity is unsure about this, and Skye takes her silence as confirmation that the Claritys are clones. Skye tells Clarity that they could potentially take her to James Greer, but that they need her help. They want to know everything about Clarity Prime so they can stop her. Clarity agrees to help.

Skye then questions whether Clarity has a contract connected to the pounds of flesh. Sayaka is unsure of what Skye is asking of her. Clarity says that she does have a binding contract, though the Claritys were trying to escape regardless. Skye tells the others what happened to Rachel - how she was cloned, how her contract cost her life, how the contract passed onto her after Rachel was taken. Sayaka questions as to whether Skye owes them money, but Skye says she does not. Rather, she reveals that she had killed a guy in another universe. Skye asks whether Clarity was made of pounds of flesh, or where she came from. Clarity simply replies that she wants to see James Greer.

Sayaka questions whether Clarity, as a clone, has a “right as a human being.” This leads to a humorous exchange (which is very much worth watching). Sayaka’s main focus is whether Clarity exists in the government system, and that she is a documented citizen. Em Pegg takes Sayaka aside and stresses the importance of getting Clarity to the farm, and Sayaka relents.

Skye discusses a plan with the group. Because they have to get through a checkpoint unseen, she does not know what to do. Em Pegg questions as to whether Skye had ever used her power before, not telling her about the paralysis. Skye describes the first time she used it. Em Pegg asks whether Skye is aware of the cost of using her power, and gestures to her paralyzed arm. Skye is initially unsure of what she means by it. Em Pegg asks Skye why she does not take things seriously and that she has responsibilities to use her powers safely.

Em Pegg tells Skye that she does not blame Skye for it, but that Skye paralyzed her. Skye is apologetic and wishes she would have touched the wolf instead. Sayaka wonders if Skye could paralyze Clarity Prime in the same way, leading to them killing her. Skye tells the others that her power seems to be random and somewhat unreliable. As a next step, Skye says that they need to get Clarity to the Greer farm in order to get answers. Em Pegg decides to use her power again to get them to the farm unnoticed. Skye, Sayaka, and Clarity get into the van in order to make it easier on Em Pegg’s paralyzed arm. Em Pegg, Sayaka, and Clarity get in the van and Em Pegg takes them across town to the farm, with Clarity insisting that they go back to the tower to save her sisters afterwards.

Em Pegg activates her power, which will last for eight months. Before doing so, though, she unlocks the basement to let her parents eventually escape. Since the others are in the car, the pressure is off of her to rush to the farm. So, Em Pegg drives around town and outside of Kollok to get her mind off of her situation. This does not work well, and her diary entries begin to be less coherent. At the seventh month mark, she returns to the farm to wait.

Billy, Tibby, Bucket, Mike, and Lexi

At 8pm, Billy, Tibby, and Bucket wait and Brahm’s for Mike and Lexi, as well as Mickey (assuming she saw the message). Lexi and Mike arrive a bit late, but make their way towards Billy and Tibby. Billy and Tibby apologize for calling attention to Mike’s “rampant erections.” In response, Mike quotes Faulkner in order to express his gratitude for the group being his friends, as he did not make friends growing up. Billy insists that the group is cool, saying that Mike was the one who ran off because he believed he had an erection.

Mike pulls out the bloody knife. Tibby and Billy question why he has the knife, and Billy immediately claims that Mike may have been set up. Billy attributes Mike’s running away to his potential concern over having the knife. Mike claims to not remember anything, and Billy again insists that Mike could not have stabbed Tibby. Mike is unsure, believing that he may have actually stabbed Tibby. Lexi takes the knife and tells Tibby to lift his shirt, and she compares the blade’s point to the wound on Tibby. The thickness of the blade seems to match. Mike says that his not remembering does not mean that he did not do it. In the event that he had, he apologizes. Tibby and Billy accept the apology, saying that none of them could remember. Tibby theorizes that he may have stabbed himself in order to demonstrate his power.

Bucket returns and introduces himself to Mike and Lexi. He asks whether Mike and Lexi had seen Mickey; they state that they had not. Billy says that Mickey will find them if they need them, and Mike rejects this, saying that they had to find her. Bucket says that finding her is a process, and that, since she is being pursued, it is more dangerous than it usually would be. Bucket stresses the danger that the group is facing from other law enforcement agencies who are interested in solving the crime and stopping the teens. Bucket says that the reason the FBI has hidden people like the teens is that others would not understand the group, and that his branch of the FBI is potentially able to help. Mike agrees to this, but Lexi objects, believing that the FBI may be trying to capture them for experimentation.

Bucket assures them that he will do his best to earn their trust and offers the two chocolate milk. Billy says that he, instead, will pay the bill, which the group agrees to.

Skye, Em Pegg, Sayaka, and Clarity

The group awakes to find themselves at the farm with Em Pegg behind the wheel. Skye tentatively congratulates Em Pegg on getting them there, but Em Pegg is very emotional, since she had not heard anyone’s voice for eight months.

Clarity pushes her way out of the car. An older woman exits the house, shocked to see that a car appeared in her driveway. The woman is Brook Greer, who Clarity knows, but had not seen for at least 25 years. Clarity moves closer to her, and Brook is shocked to see that it is Clarity. Brook immediately ushers Clarity inside, and Clarity goes with her. Clarity sees James sitting in a wheelchair, staring at the floor. Brook closes the door and questions Clarity as to how she made her way there. Clarity tells her that “the FBI” brought her to the farm. Brook interrogates Clarity as to whether Clarity Prime is aware of her escape, and Clarity tells her that she wants to “end” Clarity Prime for killing her sisters.

James calls over to Clarity, realizing she is there. Clarity goes to him touches his face, telling him she was finally back. Brook tells Clarity that, even as James’ mind was going, he still remembered her. Clarity asks him how she could stop Clarity Prime, and Brook’s attitude changes. She tells Clarity that she is putting everyone in danger by doing this, and that the farm is the first place Clarity Prime will look. Brook assures her that the council has a plan, and tells her that they had tried to kill Clarity Prime before and were unsuccessful. Brook tells Clarity that “everything that is happening is for a reason. The Stone Masons are doing their part, and we’ll do ours.”

Brook insists that Clarity go to clean up. She tells Clarity that she will get Skye, Em Pegg, and Sayaka and bring them in. Clarity sits in the restroom, splashing water on her face. Clarity looks up and sees herself and her sisters. Clarity questions where she is and begins to break down. What she does not see, however, is the rifle pointed at her head.

From outside, Skye, Em Pegg, and Sayaka hear a muffled gunshot.

4. The structure is weak, the wall is not sound, rebuild the feet, for it falls to the ground

## Notes

Prior to the start of the session, Billy completed the first planned action of the series. This action was to determine whether or not the Portland airport offers international flights.

Meghan was sick for this session, so Zac portrayed Skye Hawkins for the night.

The room with the glass wall where Clarity is found was seen in a prior episode. Time has passed - the blood with which the Gorgon wrote her message ("I don't need all of you alive. Behave.") has since dried.
