Dead End

**"Dead End"** is the sixth episode in the second season of *The Hollow*.

## Overview

On the hunt for Weirdy, the friends take a ghost train to a jazz club, but Adam and Reeve's arguing threatens their mission.

## Plot

Vanessa, Reeve, Adam, Mira, and Kai stand at Skeet's grave and share a moment of silence.

As they walk, Reeve reveals to Vanessa he thinks they are still in the game. Vanessa reminds him that they should have been removed from the game when Skeet died. Reeve suggests that the glitch is why they are still playing. He tells her that he still distrusts the others.

Adam tells Mira and Kai that he distrusts Reeve and Vanessa. Kai asks about the key they picked up at Chateau Carcolh. None of them know what its purpose, but because the Hollow logo is on it, Adam thinks it might be important. He and Reeve argue over the key until Mira tells them they need to focus on finding Weirdy. The flyer they picked up with Weirdy's picture on it includes the name of a venue called Club Jazz in a place called Montmartre, so they decide to find the club to find Weirdy. Upon arriving at a fork in the path, Adam and Reeve argue over which direction they should go. Mira uncovers a hidden metro station. They all descend the stairs into the station. Reeve and Adam fight on the way down while Kai questions Mira about their past friendship. She offers little information.

When they get to the platform, they see a train and board it. Once they have boarded, the doors shut and the train begins to move. They freak out when they see ghosts on the train. All of the ghosts are reading the same newspaper which details a deadly metro accident on the front page. Reeve sees a metro map but fails to makes sense of it.

The ghosts are people who died in the accident, and they continue reliving the crash. Now that the five are also on the train, they realize they are going to die in the crash too. They race to the front of the train to stop it from crashing again. Adam and Reeve argue and break the brake. Mira locks them out of the conductor's car because of their arguing. Kai opens a panel to rework the wiring. Vanessa figures out that the metro map Reeve saw earlier is actually a map of the wiring. She uses it to help Kai disable the trains motor, bringing the train to a halt just in time to avoid crashing.

Once the train has stopped, the doors open and all ghost passengers exit. The crash victims are finally free to move on. A sign in the station says "Montmartre." Mira yells at Adam and Reeve for nearly getting them killed by arguing. Adam agrees to try to do better but Reeve walks away. They leave the metro station.

They quickly spot Club Jazz across the street from the station, but as they approach, another trio of players exits. They explain to this new team that they are playing a game and that their rival team has already lost. They just have to get to the end to win. When Nisha expresses skepticism, Reeve's impatience starts a fight between the two groups. Kai discovers that Nisha has the same fire powers as him and tells her that the game does not allow more than one player to have the same power. While the fighting continues, Iris notices the key around Adam's neck and takes it. Tyler creates a cloud around his team, and they disappear. Kai and Adam speculate that their game ended, and a new one started with them still in the world. Vanessa starts to apologize for something but is interrupted by music coming from inside the club.

The five enter the club. They see Death behind the bar preparing a cocktail. They approach the bar to talk to him. Death does not remember them. Mira shows him the flyer. Death tells them the show is starting soon. The five sit at a table and see Benjamini serving drinks to other tables.

Plague introduces the band to the audience as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypso. The audience applauds. Plague introduces Weirdy, who appears on stage and performs "Creep." The five teens try to get his attention and approach him, but Benjamin and Benjamini keep stopping them from interrupting the show. Weirdy comes out into the audience and begins dancing on a table. He notices the teens, he tells them they should not be there. They try to explain their situation to him, but he does not listen. He snaps his fingers and sends them through a portal.

The five of them land on a precariously balanced platform, with Mira in the center and the other four at each corner. Adam and Reeve immediately start to argue. Kai begs Mira to mediate.
