NARRATOR: Previously
on Light as a Feather.

- McKenna Brady.

I didn't think I'd see
you again until the trial.

- I've made a mistake.

- You've got it, don't you?

- Hey, I-I-I'm Peri.

- Hi, I'm Alex.
Yeah.

- Let's go.
Kiddie time's over.

- You're in high school?

- What the hell do you want?

- Get used to it because
the chrysalis

doesn't just
affect your body

it screws with
your head,

and then it starts to come
for the ones you love.

- McKenna,
she tried to kill you.

This is unbelievable.

- Mom!

TREY: That's got to be
why Violet came up here.

MCKENNA: Where do you
think it goes to?

- We can beat this--
you and me together.

I can help.

There's just one
thing, though,

I can't do it
from in here.

- Hey,
what--what's going on?

- Why don't you tell me?

I've been texting you
since yesterday.

- I know.
I'm sorry, I--

- Do you know
how worried I was?

You were freaking out,
then you ran away,

and you weren't picking up
your phone.

- I know,
and I was gonna call you,

but my mom had an accident,

and I had to take her
to the hospital.

- Wait, what?
Is she okay?

- Yeah, no, she's--she's
fine. She just--she fell.

And the doctors want to keep
her for a couple of hours,

but she'll--she'll be home
this afternoon.

- Well, I'm--I'm glad
she's okay,

but, seriously, what the
hell happened last night?

I don't know.

I think, my meds
got a little

weird with that drink,

and I got panicky and dizzy,

and I just wanted
to go home.

I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to worry you.

- I get it.

But next time,
just talk to me, okay?

- Okay.

I...

have to meet
with my lawyers,

but I will call you
after, okay?

- Sure.

Actually, I-I wanted to ask
you something.

I've been trying to work
on my college apps,

and, I was just wondering

if you want
to take a look later?

I've been looking at schools
on the East Coast

nearby where
you're applying, and...

I probably won't even
get in, but...

- Yeah.

Of course.

See you later, okay?

- I'll have one coffee,
please. BARISTA: Yeah.

- Oh, hey.

Can I get a coffee?

- Here you go.
PERI: Thanks.

- You're welcome.

- Hey, what are
you doing here?

- I work across the street,
remember?

- Right...

PERI: I heard the music,
and I thought,

"Hey, that one elf
looks really familiar."

- Please tell me you didn't
see all that just now.

- Oh, you mean the big
finale with the high kicks

and the pointy shoes?

No, I just,
you know,

thought it was a Stanford
cheerleading thing.

- I'm sorry, I
couldn't resist.

No, it--

- But it was cute, though,
and you did great.

- Well, now that
you've seen

me in my true
natural habitat,

can I interest you
in a tree?

You can use
my employee discount.

- Tempting, but I don't
think I can even fit

one of those
through my door.

- Yeah.

- But...

I was wondering
if you'd want to maybe...

- O-okay. Wait,
don't--don't go anywhere.

Shit.

Okay, I'm so sorry.
I need to run.

- You have to go right now?

- Yeah, it's--it's a thing
with a friend,

and I need to get home
and change.

I'm really sorry.

PERI: Yeah, no worries.

Maybe I'll catch you
another time.

- Wait, Peri.

maybe I could
text you later?

If you want.

- Text me.

LAWYER: I just
don't understand

why you would do
this, McKenna.

If what you're saying
right now is true,

there will be
serious consequences.

- What's going on?
- Evidentially McKenna--

- I need to speak
with Alex alone.

- What was that guy
talking about?

- I told them I
wanted to drop

the charges
against Violet.

- You what?

- I said we lied
in our original statement

and that I don't feel
comfortable

going to trial anymore.
- Are you having a stroke?

Why would you do that?
- Because we did lie, Alex.

- Yeah, because we couldn't
tell the police

that Violet put
a death curse on us.

Mack, we agreed--

- Yeah, but we're gonna have
to talk about it

in trial under oath.

Do you honestly think
our story's gonna hold up

when they start
asking us questions?

- Well, we have to try.

She's dangerous, Mack.
She needs to be locked up.

She killed Candace
and Olivia.

She tried to kill us.
MCKENNA: I know.

We're not exactly
innocent either, Alex.

You attacked her
in that bathtub,

and if it weren't
for the curse,

you would've
killed her, too.

That's--

That's not the same thing.

I was trying to save us.

- Well, what about Jennie?

Who were you trying
to save that time?

Why are you doing this?

Are you ready?

MCKENNA:
I hereby admit...

ALEX AND MCKENNA: To
furnishing false information

and facts to the Willow
Falls Police Department

that erroneously and
unjustly led to the arrest

of Violet Anne Simmons.

I hereby request that
the district attorney

dismiss the above
listed charges

due to the fact that I
intentionally and knowingly

cast unwarranted blame
on the accused.

MCKENNA: I understand the
seriousness of my actions

and assume responsibility
for all damages incurred.

ALEX: I regret having

presented deceiving
testimony

in a court proceeding,

which is a crime
under state law.

MCKENNA: I apologize

to Miss Simmons who
has suffered greatly

as the result
of our unjust accusation.

I also apologize to the
state of California...

ALEX AND MCKENNA:
And Helm County

for wasting valuable
law enforcement time

and resources.

As restitution, I accept
a court-mandated order

of 20 hours
of community service.

VIOLET:
Thanks.

And my other key?

MCKENNA: Why is that key
so important, Violet?

You said you could help me.

- After you give me my key.

- No, that was not the deal.

Unless you want to march
back in there--you can.

- Okay, relax.

I said I'd help you,
and I'm going to.

- Well, then stop wasting
my time.

What's the plan?

- Well, I've been thinking
a lot since we last talked,

and we wanted Jennie
to take on the curse, right?

Well, it would've worked
if Alex hadn't interrupted.

- She interrupted because
you were trying to kill me.

VIOLET:
Okay, point being,

Jennie didn't finish pulling
the curse out of you,

so you're stuck with it now

unless you can contact
her again.

- How am I supposed
to do that?

No.

No.
Absolutely not.

I'm not playing
that game again, Violet.

- If you have any other
suggestions, I'm all ears.

But, I mean, either way,
sooner or later,

you've seen what
this thing can do.

And look what happened
to your mom.

- There has to
be another way.

- Look, if you don't want to
do it, I can't force you.

We can come up
with some other options

maybe tomorrow morning.

- I can't.
I have community service.

- Then we will have time,

'cause I have
community service, too.

VIOLET:
Hey, Mack.

- What the hell
are you doing here?

- We both have
community service,

and carpooling is really
good for the environment.

- You can't just
show up here.

What if my mom sees you,
or Trey?

- Well, you better get in
before they do.

Here.

You haven't told anyone
I'm out?

That could be a problem.

Look, I get that
you're going to catch shit

for changing your testimony,

but how long do you think
that you can keep this up?

Mack.

Come on, they're gonna find
out sooner or later.

I mean, even
if you push them away,

the curse is still gonna go
after them.

Okay.

Wait, wait, wait.
Just listen.

That night at the mausoleum,
after we played the game,

that was the happiest moment
in my life.

I mean, yeah, I gave Alex
a minor concussion,

and I stuffed you
in a body bag,

but our plan, it worked.

I mean, the
chrysalis was gone.

- Yeah, no
thanks to you.

- That thing took everything
from me.

I gave up hoping
that I would ever escape

until you saved me.

McKenna, I owe you.
I really do.

I-I know that I put you
in this situation,

and I'm truly sorry.

I don't want you to have
to do what I did

or go through any of that.

I wouldn't wish that
on my worst enemy.

So, whatever you need,
we'll fix it.

We'll figure it out.
I-I promise.

I'm here for you.

- Oh, you've got to be
kidding me.

- Alex.

Hey, it's really good
to see you.

I'm so glad that,
you dropped those charges.

- I'm only telling you once.
Stay the hell away from me.

Both of you.

- Alex.

HOWARD: All right, watch
your step. Watch your step.

McKenna,
you partner with her.

You, grab your bucket.
Come with me.

Watch your step.
It's slippery right here.

- Hi.
I'm McKenna.

- Cool.

You scrub, I'll spray.

VIOLET: So I think
this is gonna

go faster if
we strategize.

- I'll get the top,
you get the bottom.

- You do know there's no prize

for finishing first, right?

RIDGE: So we spent every
summer out there.

You ever been to the lake?
- Nope.

- I can take you sometime,
if you want.

We have a house out there,
so...

- I'm really not interested,
thanks.

- Excuse me,
could you pass me the--

- Wait, so you're not
into guys?

- Even if I were, no.

RIDGE: All right,
that--that's

cool. - Sorry.
Could you just--

- We can still hang
out sometime, right?

- Dude, I said I'm
not interested.

- I just--I need--
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No pressure, just---

Thank you.

- What the hell?

HOWARD:
Thanks for your work today.

Don't forget to
check your tools

back in before
you leave.

- Can I give you
a ride home?

- No.
I'd rather walk.

- Okay, but,
before I forget...

I'm gonna need that key
from you.

- You'll get it back
once you help,

which you haven't yet.

You want to prove you're
sorry? Find another way.

ALEX: How was class?
- It was really good.

You should stop by sometime.

You know, I can get you
a discount.

- I know you're joking,

but I actually do need
to get back to working out.

Back when I was competing--
I used to dance.

Not, like,
the Christmas elf kind,

but, like, actual dance.

- Yeah?
Why'd you stop?

Sorry, sorry, if you don't
want to talk about it--

- No, I, --I owe you
an explanation anyway.

Do you remember at the party

what my sister said
about me OD'ing?

Well...

I got busted abusing
prescription study aids

a couple of months ago

and got kicked off
the dance team,

and then two
of my best friends died.

So it's been kind of
a terrible year.

- Well, I'm--
I'm so sorry, Alex.

- Thanks.

It's been rough, but...

When I met you,
you seemed so cool,

and my life is such
a mess right now,

so I lied.

But this is the real Alex.

A druggie high schooler
with a rap sheet.

I'm a catch, I know.

- First of all,
it's not like

you're a
convicted felon.

And secondly, I'm only a
couple years older than you.

Look, I'm not gonna pretend

that I understand
what you're going through,

but I do get wanting
a fresh start.

You know, that's why I took
a semester off from school.

I'm trying to figure some
things out for myself, too.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- How is that working out
for you?

- Apparently I have a thing
for lady criminals.

It's so weird.

Is that a Christmas present
for McKenna?

- W-what are you doing here?

- I'm shopping. What does it
look like I'm doing?

- How the hell
did you get out?

- Oh, McKenna didn't tell
you? I just assumed.

She did at least
give you a heads-up

about recanting her
statement, though, right?

- Yeah.
Of course.

- I figured.

Well, I'm really glad
that we cleared things up.

My nana is so excited to
have me home for Christmas.

Happy Holidays.

Hey. What's up?

- Hey.
You didn't call me

after your meeting
with the lawyers yesterday.

Everything okay?

MCKENNA: Yeah.
Shit, I'm sorry. I forgot.

- Don't worry about it.
So how'd it go?

- It was fine.

We just had to read our
statements one last time,

you know,
just so we're ready.

- -And it was all good?

- Yeah, I guess.

You know,
I'm--I'm sorry.

I-I'm actually finishing
my applications right now.

Can I call you tomorrow?

- Sure.
Good luck with that.

- Oh, my God.

DEB: I'm so sorry. I was
at work all day yesterday.

And you're--wait.

You're absolutely sure
there's nothing we can do?

I see.

Okay, thank you.

- Hey.

What's going on?

- That was our lawyer.

Please tell me this is all
a terrible misunderstanding.

- No, okay, look...

DEB: Did Violet
say something to you?

I mean, has she threatened
you at all?

- No, no.
It was nothing like that.

She didn't do anything.

- Then why?
I mean, what--

what could possibly
possess you to do this?

- We lied...

about everything.

What happened
that night,

it--it wasn't
Violet's fault.

DEB: What are you saying?

That girl attacked you,
McKenna.

I had to resuscitate you
out of a body bag.

MCKENNA: No,
you don't understand.

It was my idea to go
to the mausoleum.

It was just some dumb dare.

No one was supposed
to get hurt.

DEB: Hold on.

Are you telling me that you
stole your sister's ashes

on a dare?

- It wasn't supposed to get
so out of hand.

But then you and Trey
showed up,

and then the police
started asking us questions,

and we just freaked out.

We thought that if we would
blame it all on Violet,

it would just all go away,
and...

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

I-I know that what we did
was so awful,

but we just didn't want
to get in trouble.

Mom...

please say something.

- I can't.

I just...

I don't even know who you
are right now, McKenna.

- Found out
some fun information

about our lovely cohorts.

You know what he did?

Stole a car, got drunk,
crashed it into a building.

He's lucky
he didn't kill anyone.

And his daddy's loaded.

Oh, he smashed a bottle
over a guy's head.

Said he deserved it, but
jury of his peers disagreed.

Oh, and this one?

She stabbed her
stepbrother in

the neck with
a protractor.

Good thing she missed
all the vital arteries.

And your new friend here--
she's the resident klepto.

Guess she couldn't
score herself

a better pair
of headphones, though.

- Why are you telling me
all of this?

- I'm just saying

that everyone here
is here for a reason.

Hey.

I heard it's your last day.

We should all
get together later.

Hey, Mack.
Over here.

- Hey, what's up?

- What's going on?

- We're just celebrating
Sammi's last day.

This is Ridge, Luke, Nadia.

We were actually
just talking about

going back to
Ridge's lake house

and maybe having
a few drinks,

playing some games.

- I can give you a ride
if you want.

- N-no, sorry.

Violet and I actually
have some place to be.

Thank you, though.

Congrats.

You are unbelievable.

After that bullshit story

about how you don't want
to put me through this,

and now you want
me to kill those people?

- That wasn't bullshit.

Like I said, I'm
the one that

got you in
this position.

I'm gonna get you
out of it alive.

- Why do you care?

I don't even know
what I was thinking

after what you did
to Candace and Olivia,

not to mention
Henry is missing

and Isaac ended
up in a coma.

I don't know why
I thought I could trust you.

We're leaving, now.

VIOLET: Look, I get
that you're mad at me,

but if you want to beat
this together,

you're gonna have
to talk to me.

MCKENNA:
Shit, Trey.

Trey?

Trey, I--

I can explain.
- Stop. Please, just stop.

I know about you dropping
the charges, okay?

- You know, I-- TREY: I
knew what I called you.

- I can explain.
- McKenna, I

can't stand another
lie from you.

If you won't tell me
what's actually happening,

then I don't want to--
I don't want to hear it.

Well?

That's what I thought.

I tried, McKenna.
I-I really tried.

I thought, "Whatever
she's going through,

"whatever it is,

she'll let me know
when she's ready."

But you clearly don't
trust me like that.

- No, I do trust you.

- Then why can't you just
tell me what's going on?

- Because--because of this.

You always do this Trey.

You treat me like
I'm some helpless person

that needs to
be protected,

but I don't need
to be saved!

I-I can make my
own decisions.

- I'm not trying
to save you!

- Yes! Yes, you are!

And you know what?
This is my life, Trey.

I don't owe you anything!

- You're right.
You're right.

You don't owe me anything,

and you clearly want space,
so I'll give you space.

- What are you saying?

- Maybe it's best
if we just...

take a break for now.

- Yeah, maybe it is.

DEB: She's already
admitted to everything

and signed the paperwork.

Well, if she finishes
her community service,

it won't go on
her permanent record.

Y-yes, of course I know
how serious this is!

No, don't--

JOGGER: Hello?
Are you okay?
