## Biography

### Season Two

While the bus is driving on its route, it encounters a Fallen Tree blocking the road, so they circle back, not knowing they are already trapped in the Township. One of the passengers, Elgin, listens to music before noticing his surroundings, which frightens him. He begins panicking, and says they have to turn around. He stands up and tries to convince the driver, but another passenger,Randall, tries to restrain him. As the driver, Bakta, orders them to their seats, Elgin vomits on Randall, who asks for the bus to stop, and Bakta pulls up in front of the Diner.

While the other passengers wait, Elgin is tended to by Marielle, while Bakta cleans up his vomit. Brick asks her if she is a doctor, and she says she is a pediatric nurse. Mari asks if he knows where he is, and he asks her the same question. Brick asks him why he was screaming, and Elgin answers that he had a bad dream. Randall comes aboard and begins scolding Elgin, who apologizes. Randall calls him a freak, and Mari tells him to back off. Randall grabs his bag, and complains about how bad it smells. Mari offers to sit with Elgin until he is ready.

Julie and Ellis arrive in Town, with Tom meeting them. While Julie runs to her house, Ellis and Tom approach the bus passengers and tell them that more people will be down to help them and unlock the Diner. Bakta replies that they aren’t making a pit stop, and she simply needs a mop. Julie rushes down to the basement and finds her father standing over the filled-in hole and asks what happened. Julie then asks where her mother is and begins to panic, and Jim tells her to get as many people as possible to help. As she stares at the hole, Jim hugs his daughter and tells her she needs to be strong, and that her mother needs her. Julie leaves and tells Ellis that her mother is trapped in the basement. With Ellis’s arm broken, Tom asks for volunteers to help get Tabitha out. Brick and Randall volunteer, but Bakta says that they need to stay with the bus and that emergency services will handle it, prompting Randall to sarcastically call her a peach.

Tom arrives at the Matthews' with Randall and Brick in tow, and Jim explains to Tom that she had been digging to see where the wires went. Tom asks if she was digging in the basement, what caused the main floor to collapse. Jim asks for them just to help, and Randall assures him that they will get his wife out. As they begin removing debris, the floor above them begins to shake. After they succeed in removing some debris, the house begins rapidly falling apart. Randall is able to escape before it collapses completely, trapping Jim, Tom and Brick, who is knocked unconscious.

Later that night, Brick wakes up and begins to panic and shout for help but Jim and Tom tell him to be quiet. Brick says he can’t breathe, and Jim tells him that if he is talking he can breathe, but should do so slowly. Tom tries to go over to help him, but can’t reach. Brick says he doesn’t do well in tight spaces, but Tom assures him that they will get out of this, but they need to be silent. Tom, Jim and Brick overhear the Creatures, and Brick begins panicking again. Tom and Jim try to reassure him to get him quiet but Brick begins coughing up blood. Tom tells him to hang on.

As the night drags on, Brick complains that his chest hurts, but Jim and Tom tell him to hold out. Jim, trying to distract him, asks if he likes pancakes, promising to make them for him when the sun comes up. Tom jokingly asks if Jim thinks a skinny guy like Brick eats pancakes. Brick begins to cry out in pain, and Jim and Tom try to get him quiet, but Brick dies. Shortly thereafter, Tom is attacked by a Creature, leaving Jim as the only survivor.
