"**I Don't Know Enough About You**" is the eighth episode of season 1 of *The Nevers* television series. Written by Ira Parker and directed by Jennifer Getzinger, it premiered on February 14, 2023, on Tubi.

## Plot

Lavinia visits the Galanthi excavation. The assistant says Dr. Hague is missing since yesterday as his house has been burned. He believes Hague might be dead. Lavinia says the creature must be destroyed before the Touched frees it. The assistant says they have tried everything but they cannot break the shell. Left alone with the Galanthi, Lavinia stretches herself to touch it. The earth trembles and she falls back in her wheelchair.

People run and fight through the streets. The walls have Purist symbols and writing, and posters with Nancy's picture and the phrase: "This could be your child." Horatio and Katherine sleep in their bed until he hears something. He grabs a cricket bat and opens the bedroom door, but it's his son, Isaiah. He takes the frightened boy to his bed and sees Isaiah's drawing of a blue dragon. A flaming brick with the Purist symbol breaks the window, burning the house.

Horatio leaves with Isaiah and Katherine, carrying bags and protecting his family from the fights outside. A fireball nearly hits them, and Horatio screams to Annie that it's him. She signs to Su Ping to let them enter the Orphanage.

In the morning, Amalia browses through documents in an office. She takes Strohman's Asylum file on Dr. Hague. With a mask covering the lower half of her face, Amalia fights off the guards on her way out of the asylum.

While Maladie dances in the streets, the Colonel leads Dr. Hague, using his turn to convince him they'll meet the Pope. The earth trembles, and Maladie spins until the tremor stops. A group of people dressed like Maladie praise her costume. The Colonel knocks on a door and convinces the resident to arrange them a room.

Amalia arrives in the Orphanage and asks Annie if there was any issue. She says there were only "a few rowdies redecorating" but they won't return. Annie adds that there are people in the Orphanage who need Amalia too, like Myrtle, who has stopped speaking. She also tells Amalia Horatio is in her office. Amalia goes after him until she notices his son sleeping there as well. Horatio wakes up and surprises Amalia more by explaining Katherine is in the dorms. Amalia leaves and finds Annie outside smirking at her.

The tombstones of Gwendolyn and Lillie Massen stand in the Massen Estate. Lord Massen takes a flower and places it on a breakfast tray. Mrs. Beechum suggests he brings it to "her," and he says he's occupied with business. Mrs. Beechen says he can't leave his daughter down there forever. Massen says his daughter is dead and business cannot wait.

In the Orphanage dorms, Primrose tries to talk with Myrtle. Myrtle continues to silently lay in bed, and Primrose leaves a pastry by her side.

Horatio heals the cuts on Amalia's face while they talk about what they remember of Dr. Hague. She says his file didn't have much information. Horatio recalls Hague had a close relationship with his mother. Amalia and Horatio continue talking until they kiss, but Horatio stops and moves away from her. They continue the conversation and consider that Hague probably wasn't working alone. As Amalia leaves, Horatio tells her the fate of humanity doesn't have to rely on her.
