Hollow Games (episode)

**"Hollow Games"** is the second episode in the second season of *The Hollow*.

## Overview

The friends team up to face their biggest fears, but they still need answers — and Mira decides to take matters into her own hands.

## Plot

Adam, Kai, and Mira are trapped in the middle of their fears. Mira faces Adam's bullies for him, Adam faces Mabel for Kai, and Kai attacks the doll. They are each ineffective. When Mabel attacks Adam, Kai tells her to leave his friend alone. He charges her and he says she's not afraid of her, causing her to evaporate. Mira realizes they each have to fight their own fears and she and Adam are able to make their fears dissolve away. Then the storm clears up.

From Kai's room, they observe the world and say that it seems so real. Kai is still convinced they're in a dream. Mira wonders if this is connected to the weird things that happened in the game they were playing. Kai says him having a crush on Mira was one of those things and apologizes for disrespecting Mira and coming between her and Adam. They tell Kai they're not dating and Adam tells Kai he's gay. Mira remembers in horror that she kissed Adam in their game and apologizes. Mira thinks the glitched caused this, but Adam wonders how a glitch could react such an accurate replica of their lives. He thinks it's some kind of level two. Kai tries calling for help, but Weirdy doesn't appear. Mira wants to go to the studio to look for Weirdy. Adam agrees, but Kai doesn't want to go. As they go to leave, Davis stops them and says it's late and it's time for his friends to leave. Davis escorts them out and Kai goes to sleep. They agree to meet at the donut shop in the morning.

Mira takes Adam home on her scooter. She wants to go to the studio immediately, but Adam suggests they try to play their regular lives first instead. Adam invites Mira to stay over so they can start the search together in the morning. Mira is suspicious that Adam seems to be trying to stop her. He shares a story only he would know to reassure her, then goes inside his house.

In his room, Adam looks around. He notices that a copy of Moby Dick, which he's never read, is blank on the inside and wonders if that's a clue. His mother comes to his door and tells him to clean his room, which he does eagerly, thinking it's a quest.

Mira is riding home when she spots a blur she believes is Skeet and goes to follow it.

Kai meets Adam at the donut shop. Kai has realized it's not just a dream. His next theory is that it's aliens. They set off to find Mira.

Adam and Kai go to Mira's house. Miles is glad to see Kai and wants to play video games. Adam just asks him to get Mira, but one of Mira's dads says Mira's in trouble because she told them she was spending the night at Adam's, which he can see isn't true. Adam covers for Mira and says he meant to ask them to grab Mira's umbrella. Her dad hands it over. Miles is surprised Kai's hanging out with Mira. They set off to find Mira. They believe she went to Hollow Games, so that's where they go.

Outside the building, they encounter a security guard who has no idea what The Hollow is. They distract her with a fire and look for a way inside the building. They find Mira's scooter by a broken window.

Inside, they pass a wall with previous winners, but don't see themselves on the end. They take that to mean they're still in the game. They find the studio empty. They move from there to an office, which has been ransacked. They believe Mira was there before them. They're attacked by a drone, which they defeat, only to find there are many more like it. They enter a room and push a desk against the door. The drones start to cut through. Kai finds a portal and they think Mira may have gone through it. Adam's not too sure about going through, but Kai thinks it's their only chance, so they jump in together as the drones break through the door.
