-[Ellis] Taylor! -No way.

[Ellis] Finally back together.

Please don't ever leave again.

I missed you too, Liles.

[Uncle Charlie] Taylor!

I just heard Uncle Charlie. I think he's in there.

-I have to help him. -You just came home.

So sorry Liles, but I have to go.

-What? -No, she's gone!

[Lila] No, no. She has to be somewhere.

-Taylor! -Taylor, are you there?

-Honey, what's wrong? -Taylor's gone.

Well, who's Taylor?

[Meesha] So Taylor's just stuck on the other side?

Doesn't make sense. Portals don't just open.

I thought I saw Charlie. Did you guys see Charlie?

Something opened! She just got sucked into it.

She must be in whatever dimension Charlie's in.

Should have dragged her back.

Taylor, come in please.

There's no way that's going to work interdimensionally.

Well, we have to do something.

Hey guys. Everything okay?

-We're just... -Just running a sugar high.

-Oh... -Way too much coconut ice cream.

Wish I'd made it to the festival.

Ooh, these need a clean.

I'll just dump them in the guest room for now.

Guest room? Wait!

I can clean them for you.

Really?

Yeah, you've had a long trip. Go relax.

[Ellis] Yeah, I'm an expert in shoe care.

Okay. Are you sure everything's alright?

-Never better. -Well, thank you.

Are you sure we need to hide all of this from her?

It'd only confuse her. Emily doesn't know who Taylor is.

Nan and Faraz don't either.

She's gone.

[Lila] Everyone's forgotten her.

Just like they forgot Uncle Charlie.

Ah, this is only temporary, okay? We'll get her back.

That's what Taylor thought about Uncle Charlie

and he's been gone for years.

I can't live without my sister for that long.

Liles, one thing at a time.

Anyone else sweating?

Ellis, is there any way the light could have--

I've run it through over and over.

It worked exactly as predicted.

Except for the spontaneous portal.

It must have been Uncle Charlie. Maybe he did something.

Well, do you think we can open it again?

I don't know.

Yeah, look, it's getting late.

We get up first thing and make a plan?

We'll figure this out.

We always do.

[insects chirping]

What would you do, Taylor?

[transceiver buzzing with static]

Taylor!

Taylor? Taylor, come in!

[Lila] It's Taylor! I know it!

There was nothing coming through all night.

Complete silence. And then...

[static from transceiver]

[Ellis] The channel's picking up something!

Did you hear Taylor's voice?

No, but there was a clicking and a pattern.

Like some kind of message.

Taylor, come in!

[static]

I mean, Charlie uses coded messages, so...

If Uncle Charlie's with her,

maybe they're both trying to communicate.

-I'll record it. -Yes, okay.

Um...

Taylor, come in.

[distorted clicking noises]

[Lila] See! It's clicking.

[distorted noises continue]

I want it to be Taylor, believe me.

But you know how hard it's been

to communicate with Uncle Charlie.

I'll upload the audio,

if there's anything there, I'll find it.

Okay! Yeah, yeah. Yes!

Okay, well what else?

I mean if we want to get Taylor back,

we have to follow every lead - big or small.

[Nori] I've got an idea, come on.

Please, tell me we're hiking up a mountain

or jumping off a plane because I have to do something.

Look, if we're going to solve this thing,

we have to try every possible angle.

There's someone we need to talk to.

[Meesha] Who?

[computer beeping]

[Lila] Please, gods of technology, gods of nature,

gods of interdimensional relations!

-Give us a break. -[Ellis gasping]

What?

What is it?

-It's Morse code! -I knew it. I knew it! Yes!

We need that manual.

-Mm. -Hmm.

Oh, she's really okay.

Not that I was worried, well, slightly worried.

How couldn't I be? Maybe it isn't her.

Maybe she isn't okay. Maybe--

It's Taylor! Trust me.

It's a sister thing.

-Okay. -Okay.

Okay, we've got an 'A', a 'G' and a 'B'.

Maybe an acronym.

All - Good - Buddies?

Acceptable Geographic Biome!

No, no, no. Think Taylor speak, not you.

What about - Alert - Growling - Bears?

Where did the bears come from?

-I don't know. -Wait!

Morse code is on a repeat pattern.

So, if we rearrange the letters, we get...

[both] Bag!

Bag, bag, um...

The bag Taylor took with her on the research trip with Emily.

-Yes! -Yes!

-One second. -Hm-mm, okay.

Emily. Hi. Quick question.

Have you seen a bag around anywhere?

Maybe at the front door. See, I've lost mine,

and oh, okay, thanks, bye.

She saw Taylor's name tag and didn't know who it was,

so she sent it to the Milk Shack to be returned.

Returned!?

But the ferries 'lost and found' goes back to the mainland.

We need that bag.

Meesha said the bags are usually collected - three minutes ago.

[both exclaim worryingly]

-Whoa! -Yes!

Hi! Perfect timing.

So, you have my sister's bag. Can I have it?

Tell your sister to come and get it.

-Seriously? -No ID, no bag.

We do not have time for this.

Okay, um...

I'll distract him. You get it!

What? That's stealing.

Not one that belongs to Taylor.

Please, just hear me out.

I'm Lila and my sister, Taylor is at home with a bad flu -

lots of phlegm. Super gross. You know how it is.

Left!

I just left.

I mean I didn't want to catch what she had, you know?

Anyway, I know you have a job to do--

Down!

And I'm down with it.

Anyway, I will not keep you any longer.

-That's not your property. -[Lila] Run!

-[man] Hey! Bring that back. -[Lila] Thank you.

[Nori] This is it.

[Meesha] Whose place is this?

[Nori] It's quiet. Too quiet.

[knocking]

I can't even see inside.

[Nori] Hello?

What are you two doing here?

Raquel, do you remember Taylor?

Taylor?

Of course. Why wouldn't I?

She's in trouble. We need your help.

-Taylor saw Charlie. -We all did.

Then she got sucked into a portal.

So now we need to open another one.

[Raquel] Hang on, let me just...

[Raquel] Ugh!

Where did I put it?

Okay, it's time. This has to work.

So, why can you remember Taylor and Uncle Charlie

-but no one else can. -Well so can you.

We must have something in common, but I don't know what.

The last time we saw you, we broke the energy source.

But how would that make us remember them?

It did cause a huge surge of power.

-Hold this - over there. -Okay.

I'm getting real mad professor vibes.

Yeah.

Taylor's still trapped in there.

How'd you get back to the other side?

Oh, I can't quite remember.

Is it dangerous in there?

Oh, strange weather, unknown chemical properties

and you can't quite predict when...

No, Taylor will be okay if she's with Charlie.

There must be something you can tell us.

You need a Rock Island crystal to open the portal.

-Do you have one? -We'll see.

Here goes.

[fizzing]

It's reacting.

Yes!

[loud explosion]

[coughing and groaning]

[Raquel] No, not again.

I have blown up 37 pots

trying to make a crystal to get Charlie back.

So what now? How do we get them back?

What? No!

No matter how many times you get knocked down

you don't give up.

Especially when friends are counting on you.

There is always a way. We just have to find it.

-So, you crack Taylor's message? -Sure did.

-You crack Raquel? -She was cracked already.

Wasn't much help.

Why are you dressed like that?

Shhh! Playing it safe after committing theft

and returning to the scene of the crime.

Relax! He's not coming back today.

So, what can I get you all?

Um, five smoothies, thanks Nan.

Yeah.

[Nori] Find anything in Taylor's bag?

It's some kind of relic.

[Meesha] I don't know,

none of this screams Taylor-esque breakthrough.

Well, are we sure that's what she meant?

The back of the ticket.

It says Charlie!

[Lila] Echo Cave. Blowhole equals dolphins.

Maybe Taylor worked out a way to get him back.

Who is this Taylor that you kids keep talking about?

Ah, just a friend you don't know.

Oh well you should bring him in sometime.

Oh, you ordered an extra one.

[Gillian] Enjoy.

Come on, think!

Something about Uncle Charlie and dolphins.

What is Taylor trying to tell us?

Echo Cave - I'm sure I've heard of that before.

You have. We all have!

And I know where from.

Of course! One of the mysteries Uncle Charlie wrote about--

That we never found.

Uncle Charlie said the cave is near a blowhole,

and there's only one on the whole island.

Kata blowhole!

Where we've been to loads of times.

This note, you reckon Taylor found the cave?

Taylor had a theory about using echoes

to communicate with Uncle Charlie.

Well, echoes are quite powerful.

They travel further than a human voice

or a transistor radio.

[Nori] But this still doesn't explain

the whole blowhole equals dolphins part.

Well, dolphins have blowholes too.

Technically called a spiracle.

So maybe, Uncle Charlie didn't mean an actual blowhole.

He meant a dolphin.

Dolphins swim on the west part of the island.

I see them all the time when I go out fishing with Silas.

I bet that's where Echo Cave is.

There's definitely enough depth along the west coast

for there to be an underground cave.

Ha, knew it! Taylor and me. So in sync.

So we find the cave and then what?

Try and send an echo to Tailor?

The journal warned the echoes in the cave

are somehow supercharged.

Well, we need to figure out how it works and fast, okay?

Taylor's been gone almost a day now.

Can't imagine how I'd cope in a mystical alternate dimension.

Actually I can, and it's not pretty.

Okay, I know if we can just find a way to talk to Taylor.

Hold up. What's this?

It says 'Rebuild Assist',

but there were no tremors this far out of town.

Yeah, and I jogged this path a couple days ago

and it was fine. This wasn't here.

Hey, there's someone coming.

It's Darius - the head of 'Rebuild Assist'.

Ah, sorry kids, you can't be here.

What's going on here?

This is a work site. It's dangerous.

Time to move along, yeah?

[tense music]

Okay one - definite shutdown.

Yeah, super weird.

And two - how are we going to get to the coast now?

[dramatic music]

Ow! Is this the only way?

You literally voted for bush- bashing over cliff-walk.

To be fair to me, they're both bad options.

Well, would I like to be on the beach right now? Sure.

-But remember this is-- -[Ellis] All for Taylor.

[Ellis] Ow!

[Meesha] Wow! Killer view!

[Ellis] Can we refrain from mentioning death for a minute?

[Lila] Look, dolphins!

[all exclaiming]

Hey, check this out.

[dramatic music]

Is this it?

I don't know. I can't see. It's super dark.

Okay, every bone in my body

is screaming not to suggest this,

but I think the cave is down there.

-How do you know? -The width of the mountain -

our current elevation above sea level, I mean--

Look, I know it's dangerous to go down

a creepy pit of darkness when we don't know what's down there,

but remember this is about getting Taylor back.

-Hey, we don't need convincing. -I might.

You had me at dangerous.

-Rope check? -Check! Rope is secure.

[tense music]

-[Lila] You okay? -So far, so good.

-Can you see the bottom yet? -Not yet.

['not yet' echoing]

[echoing] ...yet, yet, yet...

Give me a break. I'm getting there.

['break' echoing]

That sound strange to you?

Ah, we're running out of rope.

[dramatic music]

-Meesha! -[Nori] It's the rope!

[Meesha screaming]

[all shouting] Meesha!

[Lila] We're coming, Meesha!

[coughing and groaning]

[screams echoing]

Well, that's creepy.

What happened? You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. That wasn't me.

[screams echoing]

Sure, let's go down to the dark nothingness

full of our friends' tortured screams.

Not helping! Bring the other rope.

I thought my sarcasm was endearing.

[Meesha's echoing screams continue]

I wasn't that scared!

[echoing] Scared! Scared! Scared!

Maybe stop yelling and it'll stop.

[echoing] Stop... Stop... Stop...

Stop... Stop... Stop...

-[Ellis] Stop! I can't stop. -[Ellis screaming]

[Ellis' screaming echoing]

-Who was that? -That was you, two seconds ago.

It's the cave. It's creating echoes.

-...echo, echo, echo... -[Meesha] Like the journal said.

Wait, that's actually really cool.

It like affirms everything you're saying.

Hello!

['Hello' echoing back]

-[both exclaiming] -Yeah!

I don't want affirmation. Thank you!

['Thank you' echoing]

Guys, we have to stop talking

or we'll never figure this thing out.

Never figured this thing out. Never figured this thing out.

-[Lila] Enough already! -[Nori] We get it. You echo.

[Nori echoing] ...echo, echo, echo...

[Lila echoing] Hello! Hello! Hello!

-Taylor! -['Taylor' echoing]

They seem to be coming from the same direction.

Down there!

[Lila echoing] Taylor! Taylor! Taylor!

-It's a dead end. -This must be it.

[loud screaming] [high pitched ringing]

-Taylor! -[echoing] Taylor! Taylor!

Okay, look for anything strange.

And this isn't strange?

I mean like a symbol or a clue.

Over here.

-What is it? -A strange spiral thing.

[loud screaming again]

There's too much noise in here.

[Lila echoing] Taylor! Taylor! Taylor!

[running water]

Moss?

It feels weird, there's something underneath it.

[Lila] Feel it.

[Meesha] There's something here.

It could be a symbol.

That could help us reach Taylor.

Like those symbols that help you jump across the island.

Okay, we need to rip it off.

Look, that could make the echoes worse.

Please, we have to try.

[Lila echoing loudly] Taylor! Taylor! Taylor!

[Lila] Go! Rip the moss off. Look for a symbol.

Nothing here.

-[Nori] It's just water. -[Ellis] Only water here too.

[Meesha] Water's leaking out everywhere.

Hello? Is someone there?

Taylor, is that you? ['Hello' echoing]

['Hello' echoing]

[Lila] That sounds like Taylor.

[Nori] Is it coming from that spiral thing?

[Meesha] How?

[Ellis] Look, the water from the moss. It's filling it.

[Nori] Is that her?

[Meesha] Lila, it's Taylor!

Are you okay? Where are you?

I, I don't know how to describe it.

It's kind of like being in a dream,

but I can't find Uncle Charlie.

-You, you, you're not with him? -No, he's not here.

Is Mum back yet?

She got back yesterday.

You've been gone for almost a day.

A day!? It feels like maybe an hour.

-We have to tell her. -Tell me what.

Emily's forgotten you, and so has everyone else.

The same thing that happened with Uncle Charlie.

[Taylor] What?

I know it sucks massively--

But wewon't forget!

[echoing] Lila?

The water - it's draining out! If it goes, so does Taylor.

Use this!

[Taylor] Guys? I can't see you.

[Lila] Go, go, go!

[Taylor] Keep solving mysteries, okay?

One of them could help bring me home.

[Lila] Taylor! We promise we'll wait for you.

[Meesha] Lila.

[Meesha] Lila, she's gone.

[sad music]

[Gillian] Hey, what's with the long faces?

Just four smoothies. Thanks, Nan.

This feels wrong.

Us here. Her stuck there.

[Gillian] But that makes no sense.

The kids said they saw your crew on the west coast.

What's going on? We deserve an answer.

Come on, this is our home. We need to know.

[Darius] Okay.

[clearing throat] Excuse me, everyone.

Just a small announcement.

The Rebuild Assist team

has found a contaminant near the west coast.

Nothing to worry about. The cleanup has already commenced.

A section of the island will be off limits

as we resolve things.

I can assure you it's all being taken care of safely.

Okay? Thank you.

Contaminant!?

I don't remember seeing any of the workers

-using protective gear. -[Raquel] There you are.

Raquel, what are you doing here?

This is the radio equipment I was using

when trying to contact Charlie.

You're smart. Maybe you'll have better luck than me.

Is Raquel being complimentary?

And why are you giving it to us?

I'm leaving.

To help, I am going to find you a Rock Island crystal.

I've tracked down a rare gem collector in Northern Europe.

I'll start there and keep searching.

Because when your friends are counting on you,

you can never give up.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[Raquel clearing throat]

[Lila] Sorry.

I'll be in touch.

[Meesha] Ellis, what is this stuff?

Oh...

She's got a transponder.

Alright, I'm going to do a lap of Darius' work site.

Suss that out.

I'll go over Uncle Charlie's journal,

see if any mysteries can help us.

We are going to get them back.

Taylor and Uncle Charlie, whatever it takes.

Just like Taylor said, "One mystery at a time."
