Black, two Splenda.

You rock!

You check the ward?

Like walking through a vegetable patch.

Hey.

Sweetheart? Sweetheart? You've
been in a coma for a long time.

But everything's gonna be fine.

Listen to my voice. You
were in a terrible accident.

- Let's go.
- It's okay, Sara.

Six years is a long time.

We're transferring you over
to our neuroscience wing.

Oh. What was that?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Whoo!

I felt like I knew you guys.

- Ew.
- You don't just walk in.

Last time I talked to him...

Hey, guys.

Sorry, but the power outage
messed up the machine.

We can only take cash.

What's cash?

There's an ATM at the liquor store
around the corner on Peachtree.

No, it's cool. Seriously.

We'll just, uh... just hop on
over to the bank and...

No, really, it's no problem.

No, no. One of you has to stay.

- Run!
- Oh, no!

Great.

... after us.

- I'm trying. I have heels on.
- Come on. Hurry.

Forget something?

- You kidding me? Give me...
- Nuh-uh.

Pay up or get a new crusty bag.

Or how about I tell your
manager you stole it?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Chill, chill, chill, chill.

What's going on, Archie and Veronica?

- Hey, stay out of this, man.
- Nah, why don't you pay the girl?

Cody, I don't need you saving me.

Oh, no, I'm not saving
you. I'm saving them.

Yeah, that's right.
I'm doing you a favor.

'Cause Alia here, she
will kick all your asses

before you can call your
mama and daddy for help.

So what do you say you just
give her some cash, huh?

For the register and for you.

Now, will you go to prom with me?

You know, I really could've handled
things. I didn't need your help.

I mean, I guess. You know,
force of habit, whatever.

But it was awesome. We probably
could've gotten more out of 'em.

I'm just glad they didn't get me fired.

So what if they did? You're not
gonna need this much longer anyway.

- Really?
- Yes. Really. Check it.

Now look.

Gus' friend Stevie is selling
this bad boy for only 1,700 bucks.

The only way to get to LA is to look LA.

Yeah, that and $3,200,

which we currently have 2,673.

So, best-case scenario,

I say we leave in...
I don't know, ten weeks?

Someone else is gonna nab it by then.

Well, then we'll wait for the next one.

- Oh, my God.
- We need an actual plan.

Why you always wanna wait?

I just want the timing to be right.

It's never gonna be right.

But it'll be a start.

Hello?

That's really good.

- Give me a squeeze.
- Mom.

Mama.

It's me.

Alia?

Alia?

- What's wrong with her?
- She doesn't...

- She doesn't even recognize me.
- Hey, come here. Let me talk to you.

This confusion, this
memory loss, it's normal.

But she's speaking. Let's
take that as a good sign.

It's actually kind of miraculous.

Miraculous.

When your mother was
brought in six years ago,

you can see here that the
damage was irreversible.

And over here, you can see... some
of that damage has been repaired.

You mean she's gonna be okay?

I mean, I've never seen
anything like this, but...

Be straight with me.

What kind of recovery are
we looking at? How long?

Alia, listen. The brain,

sometimes it has the
ability to rewire itself.

Make the call now.

But it could be months
before you even...

I need to make a call.

Okay, Sara. Who?

I need to make a call.

Who do you need to call?

Got a number?

404-555-0169.

Uh, hello?

Who are you trying to call?

- Mom?
- Alia...

Memory is a complicated thing.
Just take it one day at a time.

And today is a good day. Let's
start there. Your mother's back.

Ho, ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmakwanzakah!

Oh, my God. The new EV3
kit? Thank you, Mama!

You betcha, Bubba-diddle. Who
knew my baby was such a nerd?

Hey. You got the videos I sent.

- Hi. Yes.
- Wow. Wow.

They help. Thanks.

So, uh, it's time for your assessment.

Let's get you ready. Okay, hon?

Now, where did I put your shoes?

You left them under
the chair next to the window.

Do you see them?

You speak Spanish?

You speak Spanish?

I guess.

Excellent, Sara. I'm gonna
take it up a notch, all right?

Green.

Angry.

Twenty-seven.

Man, woman, boy, girl.

Mm-hmm. That's correct. But what is
their relationship to one another?

Father, mother...

I got a perfect score

on the JFK Coma Recovery
Scale and the Glasgow.

That's more than enough to
release me to outpatient care.

Sara, you've made a
truly miraculous recovery.

We are just trying to understand why,

when there is so much that
is coming back to you,

there are certain... gaps.

You said that being around family

exercises circuits in the brain
responsible for long-term memories.

Let me go home with... my daughter.

Maybe then... I'll start remembering.

It's not like our old place, but

I kinda rely on tips for rent, you know?

Do you have a father?

Well, that's kinda how babies are made.

I know how babies are made, Alia.

Sorry. Right.

I mean... I never knew him.

It's always just been the two
of us. We liked it that way.

I upset you.

It's nothing.

So, are you sure you're ready to leave?

I mean, Dr. Koh is
only trying to help you.

She's done everything she can.

I just want you to get better.
Seriously, what's the rush?

I just can't be in here
anymore. I'm going for a swim.

She's not my mom. Like,
she's there, but she's not.

I thought I was gonna
have to give my own mother

the birds and the bees talk.
Then earlier,

- she spoke freakin' Spanish.
- She spoke Spanish?

Which isn't half as weird
as her calling me "Alia".

- I...
- She never called me by my name.

It was always some new pet name.

Before the accident, she
was stuck on "Junebug".

Alia, can I say something?

Her memories aren't the answer.

They're not?

Even if they all came back today,

you would still be total strangers.

Think about it.

Aren't you a completely
different person today

than you were six years ago?

What you're feeling,
it's not a medical issue.

It's about two humans getting
to know each other again.

Helps, doesn't it? The water.

After what you've been through,

it's manna from heaven for
those stiff joints, isn't it?

I thought that was you in the cafeteria.

Yeah, I got your call.

Then what took you so long?

Of course I checked for Stone.
That was the first thing I did.

Think if they had one on
record, I'd be holding back?

Hey, Mom.

Dr. Koh said your discharge papers
will be ready in the morning.

I'll come get you then.

Alia, this is Wayne. He's...

I'm an old pal of your mom's.

Are you from the dance company?

No. No, from the same hometown.

Chicago? You don't sound like it.

Well, thank you, young lady. I
worked overtime to lose that accent.

It's cool of you to stop by.
How long are you in town for?

Depends on work.

Maybe we can all get
together before you leave?

I'd love to learn more about
my mom when she was my age.

Well, I'll come armed with
many an embarrassing tale then.

See you at 9:00, 'kay?

Sharp little lady you got there.

She gonna be a problem?

Nothing I can't handle.

So, pretty crappy, but
it's only temporary.

At least that's the plan anyway.

Sorry it's... so...

It's okay.

Just... Don't you have
school or something?

No, I already graduated.

Are you hungry? I made some
pimento cheese sandwiches.

Your go-to recipe.

Your only recipe, actually.
You weren't much of a cook.

Sit.

- Or maybe I'm the bad cook?
- No, it's just really... strong.

- Do you mean... spicy?
- Yes. Spicy.

Sorry. You kinda used to
drown everything in hot sauce.

- Let me make you something else.
- It's okay. I'm not hungry.

But I could use a nap.

I made up the bedroom for you.

I'll sleep on the couch until
we figure out what's next.

U-235 is enriched
to one to three percent...

and used inside the
nuclear fission process.

Inside the process...

U-235 is enriched to
one to three percent

to be used in nuclear fuel bundles

to moderate the fission process.

A slow-moving neutron
bombards the U-235 atom,

causing the atom to split.

She was a dancer, not a
freakin' nuclear physicist.

I mean, she made a whole point of it.

I was the smart one. She was
the fun one. It was her shtick.

Hear me out. When she
got into the car accident,

do you know where she was
going, what she was doing?

She was getting takeout.

Well, that's what she said.

Cody, stop.

All I'm saying is, parents
hide stuff from their kids.

Like my dad. "Business
trip" was code for,

"I have a whole 'nother
family I like more than you".

And then he bounced for good.

My mom's not like that.

Look, I'm just trying to protect you.

Like, last time you saw
her, what, you were 12?

What did you really know?

Maybe when she got hit by the
car, she was getting takeout.

Or maybe it was something else.

That's crazy. Her brain is just fried.

All I gotta do is get her to remember.

What is this?

A tasting menu.

Sit.

I've been going about
things all the wrong way.

Trying to force you to remember
who you were before is like

way too much pressure.

I feel like Mrs. Danvers, and I'm sorry.

Mrs. Danvers?

The creepy housekeeper from...

Look, instead of fixating
on old memories,

we should work on making new ones.

So we can get to know
who we both are now.

Hi. I'm Alia Jordan.

Eighteen years old,
Virgo, INTJ. Ravenclaw.

I like to know how things work.

I like dragonflies and
home makeover shows.

Big, huge fan of Drake.

Sara.

I don't know what I like.

Well, then dig in. You
got your basic food groups.

You got your spaghetti, pizza, PB and J,

pancakes, cookies, hot dogs.

Tater tots.

- This is good.
- Yeah, no. I'm not buying that.

Try this.

Wait. You liked that.

- No.
- Take another bite.

Fine. It's really good.

It's the gateway meat. No
one can argue with bacon.

Plus, it goes really good with pancakes

if you wanna just blend it all together.

Look, this is wonderful, but I have
to get to my coma support group.

You're... in a support group?

Yes.

I thought it could help.

Yeah. That's... That's great.

Okay, well, I should throw this in
the fridge and get ready for work.

Maybe we can have dinner
with your friend Wayne.

I get free food at the diner.

He called. He had to leave
town early. Work stuff.

Damn. Okay.

Um, are you sure you'll be fine alone?

Yes. I've got the train schedule.

Thanks for this, Alia. This
was so nice for you to do.

Yeah. Of course.

What if we went to see
your old dance company?

What?

They're rehearsing,
like, for a new show,

and we used to go and watch.

I bet they'd still let us.

And, well, it could be good
for us to go out together.

Right?

Got a lead we need to check out.

This is the place?

Yep.

It's not going to be easy.

That's what I got you for.

Hey!

You made it.

Never thought we'd be here again.

Do you mind?

I'm excited.

The dancers, they were, like, free
and connected at the same time.

I didn't know bodies could do
that. Mine feels like a trap.

Well, your body used to do that.
Maybe it can again someday.

What about you? Do you dance?

No, no, no, no. You do not wanna
see me dance. I'm a freak show.

I'm glad we went.

It's the most beautiful thing
I've seen here, since I woke up.

What is it?

Someone's in there. I can hear 'em.

- How do you know?
- Just stand behind me.

Keys.

Jesus, Cody. What are you doing
here? What the hell happened?

You would know if you answered
your phone. Where were you?

Cody, this is Sara... my mom.

This is Cody.

Hi. Nice to finally meet you, ma'am.

Now are you gonna tell
me what the hell happened?

I'll give you some privacy.

Hey, look, we gotta get outta town.

What? What the hell did you
do? What the hell happened?

I was just trying to make
some money for the car, okay?

What did you do?

I was selling weed
for a guy, no big deal.

Well, it is now. Who jumped you?

I don't know. But they took
it all, and it was a lot.

Alia, I'm never gonna be able
to pay him back. We gotta go.

This guy, Jasper, if
I don't get his money,

I don't know what he's gonna do.

- What about this?
- It's not enough.

And I'm not taking it from you.
We need it. LA, no more winters.

Cody, I can't leave my mom.

- You mean Jason Bourne?
- Stop it.

I'm sorry, but something
is wrong with her.

You know, I'm the one
who's been in your corner.

I could really use you in mine.

Cody, please.

Are you really gonna
make me choose right now?

'Cause you know I can't.

Then I'll make it easy on you.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Yep, I'm underage, and
I get drunk. This is me.

I'm trying to understand.

You care about that guy,

but you don't wanna leave with
him, even if I wasn't around.

You were listening?

Look, you have no idea
what I've been through.

Cody, he knows me. He gets me.

I'm sorry for eavesdropping.

It's fine. Just...

I'm not who you think I am. Not anymore.

I don't think anything.

I'm not the girl with all
those plans in those videos.

I lied when I said I graduated.

I was on scholarship at St. Alban's.

Like, best damn school in the state.

But I got kicked out.

Why?

'Cause I was alone and angry,

and there were lots
of rich kids at school

to jack their rich-kid stuff.

And Cody...

took the blame for me.

Said I was the one with the
future. But I kept doing it.

Probably not what you expected
when you gave up your whole life

so your genius daughter
could go to college.

I know you don't think I understand
what you went through,

and I can't, not really...

I know what it's like to be alone.

I know how far loneliness goes.

Is... Is that what it
was like to be in a coma?

Or... was there something before?

Something you never told me?

Let's just say...

before you came into my
life, I was a bit of a loner.

But just because you're
alone doesn't mean

you should cling to the wrong person.

Oh, so now you know
Cody is wrong for me?

I mean, he's wrong if
he's driving you away

from the girl with the plan.

The plan is a bust.

I'm not gonna become some
brilliant mechanical engineer.

I don't know about that.

You said you're the one with the brains.

You'll figure it out. It's
not written in the stars.

You're in control.

Not Cody.

Not anyone.

Thanks, Mom.

This episode is brought
to you by Cloudspun.

Cloudspun was created
with one goal in mind:

deliver a great night's
sleep at an amazing price.

Okay. Where you going?

Wayne?

- Yeah?
- Does Wayne Wilkes live here?

You're looking for Wayne?

He said he was a friend
of my mom's. From Chicago.

Chicago?

He lived here in Anniston
his whole damn life.

You're sure?

We grew up together.
Prom king and queen, '95.

I knew him like a fish knows water.

Till he fell off that
ladder fixing the roof.

He hit his head, split
it nearly clean open.

Went right into a coma.

Wait, he was in a coma?

Yep. They told me he was
brain-dead, a vegetable.

But I still visited him every day.

And then, five months later,
outta the blue, he just woke up.

It was a miracle. Except for one thing.

- Yeah?
- He woke up... different.

Different? Different how?

Different in that he wasn't him.

Started talking in his sleep,

nonsense about math equations,

stuff he never knew
or cared about before.

He just wasn't Wayne.

My Wayne, he loved me.

This Wayne...

This Wayne what?

He wasn't back two
weeks before he ran off

with some bitch he picked up at a bar.

Lexa. Lexi. I don't know.

Uh, look, that woman,

Lexa? Lexi? Do you know
anything else about her?

Nope. No idea.

Of course I checked for Stone.
That was the first thing I did.

Alexandra.

Alexandra. Alexandra Stone.

You got anything?

They're transferring her.

Tonight.

That's it, then. That's our chance.

Time to do your thing.

What were you doing at the
CDC when she was caught?

Gathering information, same as always.

That's all over now. This
program's been compromised.

We get her and we go.
They're moving her tonight.

It's too soon. I can't access it
all yet. I'm not strong enough.

Nah, that ain't it. It's the girl.

Look, I get it. You know I had a wife.

And I know what we do is... complicated.

These feelings, you can't
just shut 'em off, but...

you have to.

Where were you?

Support group.

And then...

I went to the Legacy
Mutual office for a while.

Here.

You took out a life insurance
policy? Why would you do that?

Unexpected things happen, Alia,
and I want you to be okay...

in case something were to happen to me.

Like if you were to suddenly,
I don't know, disappear maybe?

I know about Wayne.

He didn't leave town. I
saw you hop into his truck.

Alia.

You've been lying to me.

You know things you shouldn't.

You're like a freakin'
ham radio in your sleep.

What is it? What's happening, Mom?

- Just tell me.
- Listen to me, Alia.

That woman that you keep
hoping will walk back

through that door is gone.

The coma, it changed things.
I'm sorry, but it did.

And she isn't coming
back. You understand?

I don't understand a thing.

Well, I'm really sorry.

But I just need you to
accept it and move on.

Move on?

You're grown up. You
don't really need a mother.

You're right.

I don't.

I can take care of myself.
Been doing it a long time.

Alia? What the hell?

Let's do it. Let's go.
Can we still get that car?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down.
What? What about your mom?

I thought she was your ride-or-die now.

You were right. She was lying.

I was so stupid to think that things

would go back to the way they were.

Well, what happened?

It doesn't matter. None of
it. I was better off before.

Hey, look, I'm sorry.
It's all right. It's okay.

You hear me? It's gonna be okay.

Let's get that car. No more winters.

Told you not to get attached.

No hostiles present.

Package secure.

Proceed on current route
to appointed rendezvous.

Be alert.

Roger that.

We'll make contact when
the package is transferred.

They're on the move. Good. Let's engage.

Go! Move, move!

Stay where you are! Put
your hands over your head!

Only a few minutes. We'll be
outta here with the 9:00 news.

You okay?

They gave me something. This
body's not responding well to it.

The broadcast is going live. Now.

Okay, we only got a
window of a few minutes,

and once it closes, we're stuck.

So, ladies first.

What happened to no attachments?

You know I meant people from this world.

Potato, potahto.

I'll see you on the other side.

Quickly. You can't survive
long in this atmosphere.

She's not breathing.

What happens is what was always
gonna happen. You knew this.

But this body, it was
alive when I came here.

Barely.

These casings were nothing
more than empty vessels

being kept alive by people
who couldn't let 'em go.

That's why we chose them.

Come on. Let's get
back to where we belong.

No.

What are you doing?

They can only receive us for
maybe another two minutes.

I'm not stopping you.

You're not Sara. You're not a mom.

The girl will figure it out eventually.

So stop pretending and come home.

Maybe I don't wanna
do what I do anymore.

You know we can't leave a
trace. It's against the rules.

It's why they sent you.

I'm... staying.

We don't have time
for this. We gotta go.

No.

They're never gonna leave you
alone. You know that, right?

You stay here, they're gonna
come for you and the girl.

Then tell them they'll
have a fight on their hands.

Sara, we are outta time!

Son of a bitch.

I thought you said you knew the numbers.

I do. Just... hold on.

We gotta go. Come on!

Hey!

This your girlfriend, bro?

Yeah. Who are you?

I'm the guy that your, uh,
boyfriend owes money to.

Come on, man. What the hell?

How 'bout you bring
that bag over here? Now!

Leave her alone.

What the hell?

You aren't my mom, are you?

Alia...

Mom. Mom, hold on, please. Hold
on. Please, please, hold on.

I'm so sorry, Alia.

No, please. Please,
please don't leave me.

Don't leave me. Don't leave me.

Please. In-Inside, there's paddles.
In the glass. Go get them.

Alia.

No.

No. No.

Okay.

Okay. Okay.

Come on.

- I don't think it's gonna work.
- No!

Junebug?

Mom.

What's going on?

Mom.

Mom.

Mommy.

Patriots, Eagles. Patriots,
Broncos. Patriots, Seahawks.

Ron and Hermione.

Okay, that was way before your accident.

Okay. Don't judge. I
was only on book four.

Can you sign this?

My application for me to repeat
my senior year at public school.

- It's not exactly St. Alban's, but...
- Hey.

You are more today than I
could have ever dreamed of.

Thanks, Mom.

When was this?

At rehearsals. A few weeks ago.

Huh.

What were they putting
on? And did I like it?

It was Return to a Strange
Land. And yeah, you loved it.
