Previously on School Spirits. Mr. Anderson?

Huh? If he's in here, and Mr. Martin's not.

Holy shit!

Um, so Wally's class reunion.

Would you want to go with me? What if we make her think that this place isn't

scary anymore?

You should let us sneak you into the school. We could do it tonight.

I don't know about that.

Don, you okay?

Don crossed over.

You can too.

Where are they?

No dinner lasts this long.

Maybe Janet chews slowly.

My grandma could make a box of raisins last a month, she'd say.

Wait, okay, so where is Mr. Anderson now, right? I mean, is he really all

right with someone just stealing his body? Oh, he's more than all right.

He just took a bucket of golf balls to the library.

Someone's here.

It's gotta be them.

Did Sammy turn in his beater for a murder van?

He got several murder vans. Oh, no, these are for Wally's reunion.

How could you throw a party at a time like this?

It's not my party. I just went to the school.

But it really does look like they're bringing in the big bucks this year.

Last reunion, it was just a bunch of cold cuts and sweaty cheese.

Where the hell is Janet, dammit?

Don't forget me when I'm gone

Don't forget me when I'm gone.

Sorry, I know that it's early. I just didn't know where else to go.

I don't think that Maddie slept in her bed last night. And she isn't in the

house, and I don't know where she is. And none of her friends are answering

their phones.

I think that she's gone, Derek. Again. You don't know that.

Seeing her friends last night may have been overwhelming. She may have just

needed some alone time.

Do you think I should call the police?

I wouldn't.

I wouldn't just yet.

At this point, they see Maddie as a runaway, and if they chase after her...

It might stop her from coming back.

Hey, hey, hey. It's gonna be fine.

Go home and be there for her in case she returns.

In the meantime, message me places you think she may have gone.

And I'll look for her.

Oh, you're bleeding.

Huh.

That hasn't happened in years.

We'll take the tape off.

Just no more screaming, please.

There's no one around to hear you anyway.

There's no one around, period.

Simon, where are we? It's the cabin that blew up Maddie and Sandra. We spent our

college funds on this. I thought you said she was selling it. She is.

That's why we knew it would be empty.

And you thought having a ghost hogtied here would help the sale? Does that come

after studying Sunset? You're the one with the gloves, rope, and pink taser in

your trunk. Guys, can we stop?

We had to bring her here. We had no other choice.

I still think we should have taken her out at school.

We tried, Claire.

She was screaming bloody murder in front of 20 cater waiters. And it wasn't

because she doesn't like shrimp.

I can speak for myself.

And I'd sooner die again than set foot in that school.

I am not spending eternity there.

You don't have to.

Didn't Simon tell you that Don crossed over?

How do you even know who Don is or Mr. Martin?

Because of Maddie.

I can see and hear her in certain places.

I can't tell you why, but I can tell you a lot's changed at Split River since you

left. And you expect me to believe that Don figured out something I couldn't?

I spent decades...

researching, hypothesizing, conducting experiments.

Don, talk to her, Slinky.

What if I can bring you proof?

Proof Don crossed over.

Looking good, brother.

Amazing.

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, no. You cannot put Kayla Ladner and Ted Lambert

together. Absolutely not. They're a breakup.

Oh, it was ugly.

I'm switching them. It's for your own good.

You're welcome.

Boom.

And they reset.

All right.

You win.

But it's their funeral.

Wait, you're going back there? How do we know Maddie has proof?

We don't.

Yet.

Nicole, can I borrow your car?

And your phone?

No. Where's yours?

She boiled it, remember?

Here.

But if my mother calls... I won't answer.

You have to answer. She gets voicemails, she'll think I'm ghosting her.

Just give me yours.

You can share with Nicole.

What? No, we're not sharing anything.

Okay, can you just come with me?

We can stop by Nicole's place, keep her mom from wigging out. Why me?

Because Nicole was out all night. If she goes back there, her mom will lock her

in her room until Christmas.

Okay.

Wait, hold it.

You're just going to leave us here with her? What if she flips out?

Nicole. The girl's been burned alive, stuck in high school for 70 years, held

captive in a bomb shelter.

Compared to that, being tied to a chair is Coachella.

I don't know, feed and water her.

Should we go inside?

I'm fine here.

Do you know this song?

No. No, I don't think so. Really?

Do you like it?

Not really into that kind of stuff.

What stuff?

Sad stuff? What's wrong with it? Nothing. It's fine.

It's fine.

You did what? The dinner wasn't working. We had to improvise.

Improvise? You're not Scarface.

Janet is a real human being who's been through some serious shit.

You can't just...

Door in the back of a trunk.

Well, we did.

And he took her to the cabin.

Of all places.

I also promised that real human being I'd give her some real proof that Don

crossed over. What?

How? Well, if you want Janet back here, Maddie, you're gonna have to dig up

something. Well, we've got another problem. Mr. Anderson.

Mr. Martin stole his body.

Why didn't you lead with that?

Wait.

This is not good.

Mr. Anderson.

Martin was creeping around your house last night. He is friends with your mom,

Maddy. He went over there after she kicked us out.

If he was lurking around my house, he's not after my mom. He's after Janet.

You have to make sure he doesn't get to her, Simon.

I'm serious.

Oh my god, why are you waterboarding me with this damn song? Does it annoy you?

I thought you loved it. Or is that only when your shred had 99?

What are you... Why would you know... No, stop.

The question is, did you know I was answer seeker?

Did you?

Did you know it was me all along?

You know what, you were just chuckling every time I shared something personal?

Throw in a few dark family secrets?

Did that...

Tickle your twisted funnyball? No, no, I did not know it was you. Why would I do

that, Nicole? I shared private stuff, too.

Maybe you knew it was me, hmm?

Why would I share... I just realized it was you last night.

Obviously, I didn't know it was you, Nicole. I actually wanted to meet you.

Oh. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint.

How... Why is this my fault? Nicole, where are you going?

Anywhere that's away from you!

Okay.

Oh, Billy Idol. Good to see you.

Ooh!

Duran. Duran.

I missed you both. Great to see you. I missed you too, Wally.

Hey. Hey. I was going through a bunch of Janet stuff. I was just researching. I

thought maybe if we found, like, sound triggers from a broken... Wally, relax.

Okay, Maddie's a modern woman. She does not need your attention 24-7. Plus, she

knows you only get to see these people every 10 years. True, but I still wish I

could be there for her.

Have her help you pick out some clothes, or maybe she could help you tone down

that 1984 blowout.

Okay, what are you wearing for your date? Are we going classy or sassy?

Yeah, I was thinking I would maybe just take a nap and then wake up next

Thursday. Wow, you are really nervous, huh?

Petrified would be the word. Yeah, I just... I haven't been out with anyone

since Emilio, and we never even went on real dates. Charlie.

It's okay. I'm gonna be there with you the whole time, and I will wingman you,

all right? We got this. Saturdays are usually dull, but today we've got

options. The return of the body snatcher or the senior citizen mosh pit.

Rhonda, you're technically like 20 years older than everyone that's gonna be here

tonight, so why don't you just tighten your girdle, girl?

Oh, shit!

No way. David Bowie, y'all.

Here we are. We are so back.

It's time.

Wally came up with this.

Makes us do it at every reunion.

Let's dance!

Are you there?

Let's dance!

shoes and dance the blues to the

song playing on the radio

while the color lights

up your face sway

through the crowd to an empty space

you say run i'll run with you

if you say hi

Oh! Oh!

Could I have a glass of water?

Thank you.

I heard what Nicole said.

I don't think you're twisted.

I don't want to talk about that.

Look, everyone makes mistakes.

I'm sure you didn't want to hurt anyone.

You seem to be a genuinely good person.

I just kidnapped you.

But I bet you didn't want to.

Your friends left you here to watch me, do their dirty work.

That's not right.

That's not who you are. Can you please just stop talking, please?

Sorry.

These ropes are digging into me.

Could you at least loosen them?

I can't. I'm sorry.

I think one of my wrists is bleeding.

Do you really want to give back Maddie a bruised body?

What are we doing if and when he comes out of the house? We follow him.

See if he's following Janet.

Okay.

If that's Sandra... Oh, it's Nicole.

Hey, how are you calling me from there? I've been wandering through the Blair

Witch Project trying to get service.

When are you coming back? You stole my car.

Christ, Nicole, this isn't the time for forest bathing. You need to stay with

Xavier, okay? You're partners.

We are not partners, okay? Whatever you do, just do not tell Sandra anything.

Why not?

Why can't we just tell her the truth and stop speaking in code?

Hello? Are you still there?

Uh, we gotta go.

He's hot.

Go back and help save your Nicole.

Wait, wait!

Claire!

Whoa. What? Did you find something?

Don't stash anything up there?

Oh, how long did Milk Dad stay fresh?

Shouldn't we be looking for a 1972 lightbulb? Yeah, there's a good chance

that was left in her scar when Dawn split.

And besides, what you're holding when you croak isn't always your key.

Charlie's isn't a french fry.

What does Maddie expect us to find?

Any kind of proof that Dawn actually knew how to get out of this place. Like

a notebook, a poem, a clue she may have carved into her hairbrush.

Hopefully Maddie's having better luck than we are.

Is that Keith?

Keith Pastones, you silver fox, you. Wow, looking good.

Oh, Joyce, I remember you.

Jasper, M.T., best lab partners ever. Who are you, Owen?

No clue.

Yo, where's Yuri?

Uh, grabbing his drinks.

Well, aren't you just glowing like a lava lamp? I do look good, don't I? You

do. You look pretty sharp yourself. Give us a spin, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I try.

Can everyone hear me?

First of all, thank you so much for coming to the 1984 Class of Juniors.

Woo! Class of 84!

40 years!

Can you believe that?

Uh, yeah, I can. And now, before we get too tipsy, I'd like to take a moment to

honor those who couldn't be here with us today.

Okay, so which table are you sitting at? Or are you just working the room?

These are my boys right over here. That's my team.

Wow, okay, so that used to be a table of jams.

And now, a moment of silence for our 1983 homecoming king, Wally Clark, a

shining star taken from us way too soon.

Too soon for who?

How many of these have you had?

Sorry, but that kid was an asshole. The whole team was.

Can we do this in the Uber home?

They threw me in a dumpster because they said I carried my books like a girl.

They sat on the lid and laughed for hours.

And Captain Homecoming.

Never did anything to try and stop them.

I can't imagine what they would have done if it had actually come out.

Guess not everyone's a fan, huh? Charlie, you got to understand, that was

a really long time ago, and things were way different back then. Wally, Wally,

we know. You are an 80s jock. It's, I get it, product of your time. Okay, I'm

glad you understand, because, you know, it's just like a team-building thing.

Wally, seriously, it's fine.

Where were those bacon-wrapped thingies that you were bragging about?

Follow me.

All right.

What? What? What is happening here?

Why is she picking her own lock?

She's been tied up for hours, Nicole. I figure how much damage can she do with

one arm? I don't know. Burn another house down? Run you over again?

The running over part was an accident, just for the record.

She was in pain, all right? And if that's Maddie's wrist, I don't want to

be responsible. Oh, so you're back to being a nice guy whose favorite movie is

Dirty Dancing.

I said it was top five, which it is. It's basically a perfect film.

Where's the rope?

Get the rope.

Getting the rope.

Ropes.

Hey, Nicole, did you call your brother?

What? Why?

Your brother's here.

Fuck.

Why did he come here?

It's where Janet was squatting last month. He's definitely looking for her.

Who are you calling?

Claire, who are you... Hi, this is Claire Zomer. Can I speak with Sheriff

Baxter? No, no. What are you doing?

Hi, my stepdad asked me to check on his properties.

And there's a really creepy guy here.

I don't feel safe going inside.

Yes, 457 Del Monte.

Same area where his son was hit.

Okay, great. Thanks.

Cops are on the way.

So if you could climb out of Janet's car and pop out in Rhonda's, maybe they're

all connected.

Could be how Mr. Martin disappeared for such long stretches. Maybe he was hiding

in them. And hiding other stuff, too.

But wait, why would they be connected?

Maybe because we've been sharing our shit in support group for decades.

There's a bond between us, a connection.

Or maybe Mr. Martin was always on to something much bigger.

Give me a pencil.

I have markers.

What color would you like?

Something that writes.

I thought this was a football play on Wally's journal, but... Here.

Look.

It's a path.

Would you look at that?

Guys, forget Don's key.

Here it is.

This is the way into her scar.

Looking to relocate?

Or just breaking and entering?

I was just taking a walk.

I thought I saw something in there. Did you walk your car here?

That's it parked out front, isn't it?

You know, my son almost got killed around here a couple weeks back.

Still haven't found him. Stole his truck and plowed into him.

I'm assuming handcuffs won't be necessary.

to never get on your bad side.

Hey!

What are you, uh, how'd you even know I was here?

I'm my friends. Your last known location was nearby.

You gotta be smart if you want to get away with this kind of stuff. Right.

Well, I appreciate you checking on me, but you should just go back.

What are you doing out here?

Whose place is this anyways?

Um, hey.

Oh.

Oh.

I get it.

You do.

He does. What does he get?

Uh, Diego, just go home.

Hey, man, if you're into my sister, that's cool, but, uh, weren't you and

Maddie once a thing?

And be careful how y'all break it to her. Uh, we will.

We will. Yeah, she's fine with it, so... She is?

Mm. You know, she hasn't said much since we all got here, but... We?

Is Maddie here? What?

No, no. I mean, she was.

But she's gone now. Right. And she just left you in the middle of nowhere

without a car?

Yeah. We sort of walked. It was kind of like a retreat.

Yeah.

What was that?

What was what?

That sound inside the house. I didn't hear anything. Did you hear something?

No. Guys, I think your friend Maddie's back.

But...

Forget this. I don't want to dance on a full stomach.

Do you want to dance at all?

Yeah. Yeah, of course. I just, um... When they play the right song.

You sat in a circle with Wally for decades, right?

Can you really be bugged out by being reminded of who he was? I'm fine.

Wally is... Wally.

How about

this

song?

Is this okay?

Yeah, yeah.

Uh, confession.

This is my first high school dance.

No shit.

I'd always get to the parking lot, sit in my wheels for a minute, and then

split.

I was anxious about being anxious.

My parents didn't help.

All I can remember is them convinced that every roller coaster, every skating

rink, every bouncy house could trigger an asthma attack.

They thought I'd suffocate if I ate my ice cream too fast. So, trust me, I get

it. This is all too heavy.

Look, I'm not anxious.

I'm not, okay? I'm just a little warm, and I don't like all these people

looking at us.

What people?

They can't see us. We're dead.

Yuri, you know what I mean.

Charlie, I just... Please just don't lay your 70s fortune cookie insights on me,

okay? I don't need them.

I just... What I need is just some space.

The love that you seek will never be found at home

The love that you need will never be found

at home

What are these doing here?

We came up here last minute.

We wanted to have a little welcome home party for Maddie, and... And this is how

y'all party?

No wonder you ran away.

How have you been?

Good, Maddie. Thanks for asking.

Yeah, I'm sorry I missed you at the college blowout last week, but I heard

you made quite the impression.

So is this shindig almost over? Because you've been gone since Friday morning

and mom is losing it. She is now having dad dust the dust on top of the dust,

so... I can't leave yet. You shouldn't leave either.

Sid.

Xavier.

Can you get him some water?

Ice or no ice.

I'm supposed to go back to Janet with some mind-bending dream warrior shit

about connected scars and light bulbs and flowers?

Yes. Did she leave anything behind that proves she moved on? No.

Maddie, theories aren't going to save you. The girl is brilliant.

And she's stubborn. I'm going to need something more concrete.

This is what I have, Simon.

Make it work. Hurry.

Can I get some pizza?

To go. No table service. To go only.

Simon, I don't want to leave another message.

But I'm really... I need to hear from someone.

Anyone? I need to know that she's okay.

Thanks.

Oh, God.

Thank you. Yeah, like I told you, we'll check that car out later.

Officer Hanlon says he saw you leaving the church the night of my son's

accident, so... If you had an AA meeting, why didn't you just say

something? That's a roomful alibis.

Because... it's supposed to be anonymous.

That still doesn't explain why you're trespassing in broad daylight when

you're already on such thin ice.

Your plea deal just went through.

You nearly went to prison, Derek.

Did you forget about that or something?

Here.

Sign that, then you can go.

You spelled your name wrong.

Sandra. Excuse me.

Uh, can I help you? I don't know where Maddie is.

And I can't get any of her friends to call me back.

Well, it is Saturday and there are no students here.

We're actually hosting a 40th reunion.

Who is Eugene Bergstrom?

Who? He's a student here.

Oh, uh, I don't recognize that name. Why is my daughter so set on not coming back

to this school?

What? happened here that made her leave. Sandra, this isn't an ideal time. She

won't talk about it. Something happened here, and nobody is giving me any

answers. Sandra, please.

Look, I understand your frustrations. I do.

The investigation is ongoing, however, and, um, well, I'd be happy to discuss

it with you further on Monday morning.

Right now, I, uh... I think you should leave.

Please.

Charlie? I've been looking everywhere for you.

Yuri is too.

No, he's not.

Will you just listen to me before you shut me out?

Wally, you don't have to apologize about something you did 40 years ago. Just

please hear me out.

If we were alive at the same time, I probably wouldn't have helped you.

I probably wouldn't have thought twice about what was happening to you.

That guy in there was right.

I was an asshole.

And I know it's too late to make up for the shit I did in high school, but I

swear to God, I would flatten anyone who tried to hurt you now.

So you're a better person dead than you were alive.

I was a bully.

You know, I used to go to bed every night just...

Praying that I would wake up as somebody else.

I spent my whole life hating myself.

And just... Just wishing that I...

So I cracked the

bitchy jokes.

Made myself the punchline so other people couldn't.

People like me?

Wally, anything you could have called me back then, I've already called myself

thousands of times.

And there are still moments that I believe all of it.

Like... Like I can't even just accept

that someone would actually want to ever be with me.

Charlie.

Dude, Yuri's into you.

Not anymore.

Look at me.

You're like the hottest get in the afterlife, okay?

Trust me.

Scary Potter wants to see you again.

Scary... Charlie...

You know I love you.

I love you too.

So let me get this straight.

Y'all came all the way out here to party, but all you brought were ice

cubes and a rope?

I mean, I don't want to kink shame, but... He's right. I'm getting hungry.

We should get some food and drinks.

Diego, can I borrow your car?

Uh, no. No, you can't. Uh, leave here.

Because? We're right. Because we're only doing water.

Are y'all doing some sort of group cleanse? I mean... Hey!

Diego's here!

And Maddie is... Standing up.

Pizza! Yes! Okay, Maddie's party can start. But we need drinks! Um, and we

should get beer. Diego, why don't you take Claire and go buy some stuff we

legally can't?

I'll come with you. Please, Maddie.

We're the honored guest.

Diego and I need time to catch up.

Ready? Yep.

I have proof.

Hi. Can I get a vodka soda?

Sandra,

I thought you left.

Make it a double.

Sandra, don't do this.

Can I get another?

Sandra, can I perhaps suggest you come back on Monday?

Here, allow me to escort you out.

Just get away from me.

What?

Huh? You don't think this place is so great?

Why don't you tell that to my kid?

Whose blood was smeared on the boiler room walls.

You're telling us there was nothing in there but flowers.

Yeah, but maybe I missed something.

Get the fuck away from me. All right, I'm going. I'm going.

What I wanted was some answers, and I deserve them, God damn it. Sandra,

please. All right, fuck you.

We sure we want to leave him in there with her?

He asked us to.

That's what he's doing.

Can I ask you something?

Did you really see ghosts when you were in the hospital?

That's why I went on that thread in the first place.

You could have just told Simon.

I tried.

With all this Maddie stuff going on, it was like saying to Iron Man, hey, check

me out. I can turn into a rock sometimes.

You were right, you know.

I'm not the person that I said I was in our chats.

Maybe that's who I want to be.

If I was going to be that honest, I'm glad it was you.

So many times have you seen Dirty Dancing? You take that to your grave, I

swear to God.

That's not proof.

It was just a closet.

A closet with flowers growing out of the walls.

What kind of flowers?

Marigolds.

What?

Don talked about them.

Janet, I know you think things can't change, but they have.

In your 70 years as a ghost of dead in the living couldn't talk to each other.

You are a scientist, Janet. If one crazy new thing can happen, can another?

Don't cross over.

You can too.

Hey. I'm sorry I had to see that.

For the record, she's been doing really well the past few weeks.

Joke's on me, huh?

I've been working so hard to get my body back, and that's what I'm returning to.

Maddie, your mom was going to meetings, I know, because we went together.

It's... It's really hard.

to see someone you love backslide.

And it can be difficult to remember that there are many

more sides to someone than just their illness.

Sometimes, sometimes the only way out is through.

Dawn may have crossed over, but I got out in this body.

And now I have a chance at the life I always wanted.

Going to college.

A career.

Things I couldn't do in 1958.

How can you ask me to give that up?

Because none of that's going to make you happy if you're trapped in someone

else's body.

You left an innocent person trapped in the school.

Hey, where are you going?

Hey.

Janet, hey.

Please.

I don't care if she's trapped.

I don't believe you don't care.

And if it's true, it's because you don't know Maddie like I do.

I know you feel cheated.

You were.

But based on what Maddie told me...

You have a conscience and a heart as

big as your brain.

I hope you do the right thing.

Can I have a moment alone?

Before we leave?

Breathing feels different when you're alive.

Everything okay? Yeah.

Any reason to slash that guy's tires?

Just drive.

Please, we'll talk on the way back. Back to where? The sheriff's station? I mean,

what the hell is going on, Claire? Can you please drive?

We can park anywhere else, and I'll tell you everything. Just not here.

Excuse me, sir?

Okay, if I come in?

You know, what you did was really brave.

You finally made it out of this room and...

Changed your clothes and pretended you wanted to dance with people who are

older than our parents.

And I just ditched you.

I just walked out on you when you were trying to tell me about things that are

hard to talk about. It's okay.

It's not.

And I'm sorry.

And I want to hear more.

You were telling me about how you were in a bubble?

Yeah.

And I still am.

But at least this bubble's mine.

I've got everything I need.

Is there room for two?

and just wait to see.

And it won't be here tomorrow.

So girl, can't you see

that you and I was just

meant to be in love.

Take me down.

The only way out is through.

Where is she?

Out on the dock.

She wanted a moment to think.

What? It's okay.

What do you mean it's okay?

She's going back to the school.

Because she wants to.

And she knows she needs to.

We'll give her a few last moments to be alive.

She didn't get that many her first time around.

Found ya.
