Help! Help!

Maisie, school!

Come on, girl, we gotta go.

Mom?

Hey, um, just down to the last two boxes,

one of which is your volleyball stuff.

Wanna help me unpack later?

Can we just go?

Hey.

Maisie, wait.

Coach Lindell called,

wants to know why you're not trying out

for the volleyball team.

Is that even a real question?

Uh, you need to try and forget about

what happened at your old school.

We're starting over in Cedarville, remember?

This is your chance to get the championship back.

Why?

Just so I can lose another title match again?

It wasn't your fault.

I fumbled the setup for a spike.

I've done it a thousand times and I messed it up.

It's just a game.

It's not just a game.

I used to be able to get my head in it,

now, I can't concentrate because of Dad.

I don't need another loss, so why even play, right?

It's a stupid game anyway.

Here you are, Miss Oxford.

Same as before,

two in the morning and two before you go to bed.

Thank you, hon.

You know, I am so glad you took over the pharmacy.

It seemed like it was ready to bite the dust there

for a moment.

So many of our local businesses

are feeling the pinch these days.

It was my pleasure,

and thank you for being so welcoming.

Do you know what happened to the old pharmacist, Monica?

Sweet girl. She left so quickly.

It was all so strange.

Sorry, I don't know anything about that.

I swear, she might as well have a prescription

for juicy gossip.

That's the real refill she's shopping for.

She's destined to be one unsatisfied customer,

ain't that right?

Monica kept mostly to herself, too,

but people in this town love to talk.

She's not the only one that mentioned

the previous pharmacist.

What went down with her anyway?

Rumors were she had a drug problem,

which affected her reputation as a pharmacist.

A few months ago, she just skipped out, left town.

I... I don't even know what happened to her,

and I was her assistant for years.

But people have their theories.

What are they?

Ah, shoot.

I'll go deal with that.

Ethan, right?

Yeah, guilty as charged.

You're, um...

You're Laura, the new pharmacist?

Laura Harper.

Uh, is there something I can help you with?

I've got a splitting headache.

Follow me.

This one will do.

I run the diner down the street.

You should stop by sometime and say hi.

Will do.

Okay.

Thank you.

Welcome.

- Bye. - Bye.

Did he just ask you out?

He's just being friendly.

How are you feeling today?

I'm here if you need to talk.

I just feel so alone here.

I'm here for you.

♪ Threw me a warning without a sound ♪

♪ You left me all alone to take it on myself ♪

♪ This can't be

Hey, new girl!

Uh, hey.

Look, I don't know what you're looking at, but...

Don't scare her, loser.

Don't worry about him. He's harmless.

Oh, uh...

So, uh, how you liking town?

You've been here, what, like a month now?

- Mm-hmm, about that, yeah. - Yeah.

Um, it's okay, I guess.

I know.

I heard you were a big shot sports star

back at home. Is that true?

No, I was just on my school's volleyball team.

Oh.

Hey, Lizzy! Invite her to the party.

Well, Alex is having a party tonight,

but um, yeah,

you probably wouldn't wanna come.

- Um... - See you around, new girl.

Bye.

Let's go.

Dr. Charleton.

How can I help you?

Can you fill this for me, please?

Of course.

Um...

Is something wrong?

Uh, the doctor who wrote this,

does he still practice at this address?

Uh, I believe so.

Well, the last time this was billed out

to the insurance company, they sent it back and said

that the phone number and address

were no longer in use.

Yeah, that can't be right.

No, I saw him the other day.

Well...

It's... I... I... I can't risk missing a dose.

I understand,

uh, but the system won't let me process it

if there's a flag on file.

So remove the flag.

I can't.

Your doctor would have to contact

the insurance company, update his contact information,

and then we can go ahead.

Okay, I've been coming to this pharmacy for years,

and I've never had any issues.

Well, I can't speak to how things were run before,

but there are laws in place around things like this.

You should know that better than anyone.

Okay, listen...

I will take care of this.

Thank you, Miss Harper.

Lenny!

Good to see you!

Hey, you're overdue for your check-up.

Call my assistant, Lizzy, and she'll set an appointment.

So what's on for dinner tonight?

The uh, diner's got some yummy specials.

Ethan's chowder is to die for.

You just don't quit, do you?

Not until you two officially become an item.

The town will go nuts.

The widowed boy-next-door marries the widowed

new-in-town pharmacist! Ah!

Why is everyone in this town so obsessed with each other?

Boredom?

Hi.

Hi!

Wow, nice place you got here.

Um, thanks.

Uh, how did you find my address?

Hmm, you know, I have my ways.

I'm here to take you to the party.

Sorry, I don't really think I'm in the mood for that. Sorry.

Oh, don't worry. I got something for that.

Hm.

What is it?

You know, just something to take the edge off.

I guarantee it's better than whatever your psych's

been g you.

How did you know about that?

You lost your dad. I lost my mom.

We're like, basically the same person.

Yeah.

Yeah, I don't know.

Trust me, I take them all the time.

Just makes things a little calmer.

My mom, she...

Ah, don't be such a loser.

Here, give me your phone.

All right, new girl, I wanna take you to this party.

Um, yeah, okay, sure.

But you have to stop calling me new girl.

Hmm, okay.

Seriously, Maisie, there's like 7 billion people on the planet,

and you and I just happened to find each other.

Hm, hmm.

In the middle of nowhere.

Yeah.

Do you believe in fate?

Mm-hmm.

I don't wanna go, Joe. This is your thing.

Come on, I don't wanna be alone.

Come on.

Fine.

Hey!

- Hey. - Thanks for coming.

Thanks. Yeah.

- So, I... - I was...

- Oh. - You.

Uh, I was just gonna say that you must have

pretty cool parents letting you have this party.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

By cool, you mean always off on vacation

trying to save their marriage, then yeah, I guess so.

Where is it this time?

Aruba, I think.

Mm. All right.

Where's your mom?

Uh, home, I guess.

Probably burning all the photos of my dad.

How long is he...

A year, ish.

Sorry.

Hey, can I tell you something?

Look, you're smart, you're funny,

you're really pretty.

Mine?

Thanks.

Look, Lizzy isn't a good person for you.

What?

She's the only person that's been nice to me so far, so...

Well, she goes through people really fast.

Okay, she friend-bombs them,

then dumps them when they don't do

exactly what she wants.

- So I just thought you should... - Come here, we gotta go.

- Why? - Just come with me.

- What's happening? - Lizzy!

Slow down! What happened?

Just come here.

Oh, wait, Maisie. Maisie!

Someone call the police!

Maisie?

Oh, God. Maisie, what happened?

Are you okay?

I wanna go home.

What happened?

Hey, look at me.

Did you take something?

Ms. Harper, I'm Officer Townsend.

May I speak with you for a moment?

Wait here, okay?

What can I help you with, Officer?

Has anything unusual happened in the pharmacy

since you took up shop?

Any strange prescriptions or customers?

Earlier today, the town doctor came in.

He seemed off.

And Kate told me about the old pharmacist

and how she vanished.

Is that poor kid gonna be okay?

Did he take something?

That's what we're trying to figure out.

Have you noticed any issues with your inventory counts

or customers who come in, but never seem to buy anything?

No.

Is that what this is about?

Are pharmacies being robbed?

We're exploring all angles at the moment.

If there's not anything else,

I'd like to get my daughter home.

Yeah, of course.

Have a good night, Ms. Harper.

You, too.

Okay, come on, let's go.

Are you gonna tell me what you took,

or do I have to gag it out of you?

Jesus, mom, I didn't take anything.

- Don't lie to me. - I'm not!

How am I supposed to believe you

when you told me you were studying at a friend's?

I can see it in your eyes, Maisie.

Do you not remember how your father looked at you

every single night?

Don't bring him into this!

Well, what can I say to make you understand?

Your father was an addict

and I will not watch you suffer the way that he did.

If you think going to one party

is enough to throw my whole life away,

then you need a reality check!

You're 17.

You think you know it all, but you don't.

You haven't experienced anything.

I haven't experienced anything?

That's not what I meant.

Everything that has happened is your fault!

I wish we never moved here.

Help, I'm about to spiral.

I'm here.

I'm trapped here, with no one but you.

My mom is so afraid I'll turn into my dad.

And she hates that I miss him.

We all deal with grief differently.

It hurts so bad.

I don't wanna feel this way anymore.

I wish I could talk to my dad one more time.

I can grant you that kindness.

I can send you a package.

Send it.

I wish you were here.

I wish I could be with you, Dad.

Oh my...

What are you doing here so early?

Don't you start at 10:00?

I... I couldn't sleep.

I... I figured I'd be more useful doing some inventory.

What about you?

I... I mean, aren't you supposed to be here

an hour from now?

Maisie and I got into a huge fight last night.

I've been tossing and turning ever since.

Mm.

Teenagers.

Well, I mean, I'm assuming.

I don't have kids.

Smart.

I'm also assuming you heard about last night?

Yeah, Maisie was there.

Is she okay?

Yeah, she's fine. Uh, just a little shaken up.

Is, uh...

I heard he's in a coma.

The cops haven't said anything,

other than hinting that drugs are being stolen

from pharmacies.

I've been hearing about that.

There is something going on in Cedarville.

What do you mean?

There's been a drug crisis with the kids in town.

It started before you got here,

but with Joe OD'ing, it's boiling over.

I can't help but think that this is just the beginning.

Did the crisis start around the same time

that Monica disappeared?

Mm, no, no, longer than that.

Uh, do you know what everyone's getting their hands on?

No idea, no.

The uh, cops are pretty tight-lipped on everything.

Well, I'm sure it's some kind of street drug.

I saw something similar where I used to live.

Brutal.

I'm gonna install a new alarm system,

just to be safe.

Not a terrible idea.

Let's just hope that it doesn't blow up into something worse.

Doing okay today?

Yeah, dad, I'm fine.

I know Joe was your friend.

Do you know what he took?

If you ever need to talk, I'm here.

It's just you and me, Lizzy.

Hey.

Come on, let's go outside.

So new girl, back for more?

Um, did you give Joe one of those pills,

the same one you gave me?

What? No.

I saw you give him a baggie.

Is that what he took?

What was in it, Lizzy?

Screw you, new girl.

Okay, I don't have to defend myself to you at all.

It's none of your business.

Sorry, wait.

Look, you're the only one here who's been nice to me.

I just wanna know if you're okay.

Okay.

Look, I know people who have access

to the harder stuff, and Joe knew that.

He was like, practically begging me,

so I did.

I got him some, and I don't know,

he was having a seizure.

I'm sorry.

I j... y... you have these pills, and...

No, those pills are my anxiety meds,

Maisie, okay?

It's called, "Protaxlerone". Look it up.

I don't know, you look like you could use some.

That's a bit of an understatement.

I'm sorry about all this.

It was a really bad accident.

Yeah.

It's okay, though. I have your back.

Okay.

You know, I have a break in half an hour.

I was gonna go down to the beach,

see some friends.

Do you wanna come?

Yeah. Totally, yeah.

Cool.

All right, well, grab a booth.

I'll come find you.

Oh, Officer Townsend, I'm so glad you're here.

I...

Okay.

So yesterday, I'd mentioned Dr. Charleton...

- Mm-hmm. - And his strange behavior.

I just looked at his files with the previous pharmacist.

There are hundreds of transactions

for Protaxlerone, a... a benzodiazepine.

The anxiety drug?

Exactly, a... as well as opioids,

and they were all signed off by Monica.

I'm not here to talk about her.

I'm here because of this.

I don't understand.

This was found at the crime scene yesterday.

It came back from our lab as inconclusive.

It's not cocaine?

We don't know what it is, and this town deserves answers.

Joe's family does, too.

Does it look like anything you've ever seen before?

Uh, that could be a lot of things.

- Sorry I can't be of more help. - Right.

I'll be completely transparent with you.

This is coming from an outside point of view,

but from what I've seen in the last month,

Dr. Charleton is someone you should really be

speaking with.

Yeah, people around here, they trust Dr. Charleton.

He was born and raised in Cedarville.

So because he's born here, you're not investigating him?

I've spoken to Dr. Charleton several times

regarding the drug crisis.

He's not currently a person of interest.

Cedarville Police are organizing a meeting tomorrow night

at the high school

to address the drug issue with other concerned parents.

I think you should show up.

Explain to everyone what they can do

regarding security measures.

May also sway some of the more suspicious townsfolk

in your favor.

Wh... what do you mean?

I've had nothing but pleasant interactions

with everyone.

This town likes to stir up drama and spread dangerous rumors.

I'd be mindful of that.

Okay, I know this is the real reason

you came to see me today.

What? No.

It's okay. I get it.

You know, just makes the world a little quieter,

makes your fire burn a little brighter,

all the sadness a little more, I don't know, tolerable.

It made everything feel like nothing.

I'd like to feel like that again.

Okay, you can have it,

but I need you to do me a favor first.

Okay?

Everyone's been looking at me because of, you know, Joe.

So if you could help me with just one or two drops,

that would mean the world to me.

Um.

Yeah, yeah, sure.

- Okay. - Okay.

Good luck.

Yep.

"Protaxlerone is the latest benzodiazepine

being used recreationally."

"It can be addictive for some people.

However, it is considered non-lethal in high doses."

My God, I cannot believe I just did that.

I know. Nothing like a thrill.

"No overdoses from Protaxlerone

have been documented at this time."

Mom?

What are you doing here?

Oh, Ms. Harper, hi!

Lizzy, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Uh, Maisie and I have a few classes together,

so we've just been studying between tables.

Is that so?

Um, I think Maisie wants to ask you something.

Mr. McCrae offered me a job at the diner.

Thought it might be a good way to bring in some money.

Mr. McCrae?

That would be me.

Ethan McCrae. Hi.

Hi.

Lizzy said she could use a hand around here

and her and Maisie seem to get along great,

so we'd be glad to have you.

Oh, a part-time job would probably keep her

out of trouble.

I... I really wanted her to go back to volleyball,

but uh, I don't think that's in the cards.

Well, don't worry.

I work at the diner

and Dr. Charleton's office, Ms. Harper,

so no trouble around here.

Table three.

Cool.

Mom, please?

Sure.

Yes!

Lizzy, why don't you show Maisie a few things right now?

I'll cook up something for Laura.

Uh, yeah!

I don't want to impose.

My late wife always told me to look out for others.

My mom always said the best way to do that

is through a good meal.

What'll it be?

Did you write that?

No, that's Lizzy's handwriting. It's as bubbly as her.

Uh, BLT.

Coming right up. Grab a seat.

Okay, what the heck am I doing?

Well, I never fill this part.

I just do like, whatever's easiest, to be honest.

What if I mess it up?

No, well, okay...

Do I have to put my name?

Mm, I don't, 'cause my name is...

Thank you.

I'm grateful that Maisie and Lizzy have each other.

And being new in town is tough.

Oh, definitely.

That goes both ways, though. Must be hard for you, too.

I heard you're widowed.

Yeah.

So am I.

I heard that. Sorry.

How'd you do it, dealing with Lizzy

and losing your partner?

I learned to be patient. I had to trust.

Hasn't been easy, not even close,

but we've helped each other through the pain.

Lately, it feels like all she's doing

is keeping secrets from me,

but I suppose that comes with the territory

of being a dad to a teenage girl.

Yeah.

I think that's what I'm lacking with Maisie, patience.

I felt the same way when she was little.

I wasn't able to trust her to fall and learn to get back up

on her own.

I think I taught her to never fail.

That pressure drove her to a dark place,

which got even darker when her dad passed.

The things I wish I could change

if I had a time machine.

See, despite how hard everything's been,

I uh, I think we're meant to be where we are right now,

in our pain, moving toward happiness,

toward our future.

Sorry.

That's an alert from the alarm company.

The door's been triggered.

Do you want me to go with you?

Uh, no, it's okay. It's probably just Kate.

I'll be right back.

No problem. I'll pack this up.

Thanks.

It all happened so fast.

I didn't see his face.

But his eyes, I've seen that look before.

That was someone going through withdrawals.

Someone out there is clearly desperate for something.

Well, they stole a highly addictive

synthetic opioid

and cleaned us out of Protaxlerone.

But that's not all.

They got access to my computer.

Thank you.

What's on your computer?

All of Monica's prescription history, all gone.

Dr. Charleton was using a fake prescription pad.

It's the same thing he tried to use the other morning.

The insurance company flagged it.

The doctor on file doesn't seem to exist.

Are you sure about this?

Yes.

Leave this with me.

In the meantime, go get yourself checked out.

She's right.

We should take you to the hospital.

I'm fine.

I just... I hit my head.

Uh, I really think that we should take you to...

Okay.

I think, I've dealt with this before, okay?

I'm fine.

At least let me take you home?

Okay.

Sounds like it's been a difficult time

for you and Maisie.

Keanan was injured in an accident at work.

He got addicted to painkillers.

I tried to help him, but he didn't want it.

He just wanted to feel numb.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know your husband was an addict.

He used to get this look in his eyes

when he needed a fix, just like the burglar did.

He was such a different person when he was using.

He'd get so mean.

At one point, he attacked me.

He was trying to get the keys to my old pharmacy,

because his doctor had cut off his prescription,

and he ended up getting his hands on something

off the street that was laced with fentanyl.

He didn't make it.

Maisie was the one that found him.

Laura, I'm so sorry.

Lizzy found her mom, too.

What happened to her?

She was unwell for a long time.

Her illness was hard on everyone.

Do you want to go to the meeting tomorrow,

together, I mean?

Sure.

Okay.

Goodnight.

Night, Ethan.

Ready for your first day?

Yeah! Uh...

Where'd you get that?

Uh, it fell out of your locker.

Yeah, right, Maisie.

You were going through my stuff.

What? No!

Lizzy, I swear it was an accident.

I won't tell anyone, I promise.

I wanna know how you do it.

Okay.

I gotta show you something.

Wow!

Where did you get all of those?

Where I can find them.

Supply and demand, Maisie.

Even with Joe?

Well, that was an accident.

Did you get them from the same place

you got the coke?

I told you, I only do pills.

Right, yeah.

How do you do this without getting caught?

I don't know.

I guess when you have a dad who, you know,

wants to help every single person

but doesn't know how to talk to you,

makes it easier to fly under the radar.

Hmm.

To him, I'm just like, his little angel, you know?

Lizzy, Maisie!

Come on, start your shift.

Got everything?

Yeah.

Do you realize what you've done?

You're an idiot.

Yeah, you!

You realize what you've done?

You lazy, incompetent, careless little girl.

What are you doing out here?

Come on!

Come on.

What is that all about?

Fake prescription pads.

We have to tell Townsend.

Ethan, I think Dr. Charleton is running the drug ring.

Thanks for coming.

Thank you for coming.

Hi.

Thanks for coming, everyone. If you can take a seat, yeah...

Excuse me, Officer Townsend, I need to speak with you.

After the meeting.

I'll call you up in a few minutes.

Okay, but wait...

Everyone, listen,

we're about to get things underway.

She needs to know about the prescription.

Today's meeting is to provide an update

on the drug crisis occurring in Cedarville.

I can confirm that the police believe that the cases

are linked by a few different drugs,

and that at least one has the potential to be lethal.

Why haven't you arrested anyone?

Please save your questions till after.

The police believe the cases are linked,

and that the substance we recovered

from the crime scene is a new kind of street drug.

Okay, what kind of substance?

We're not sure at this time.

My son is in a coma,

and the person responsible is still out there!

We need answers before our kids and grandkids wind up dead!

Everyone, listen!

I'd like to invite Laura Harper to speak.

She's Cedarville's new pharmacist.

She has some insights into how

we can keep our community safe.

Why should we trust you?

The drugs found on Joe were from your pharmacy.

What? That's not true.

I heard you and Officer Townsend talking about it.

It's Protaxlerone.

The children are all using it.

Is that what my son took?

N... no.

How can we trust you?

Listen, I have been a pharmacist for 15 years.

Safety is paramount in my business.

I would never...

Oh, whoa, oh, si... simmer down.

Everyone, ev...

Simmer down.

If you take a step back and listen to my colleague,

it's important to understand where she's coming from.

After all, her late husband was an addict.

Yeah, I... I found out that her husband died

of an overdose from pills that Laura gave him.

What? That's not true, you liar!

If we can't keep this civil, this meeting is over.

Sit down!

Don't mess with me.

That's it.

Dr. Charleton is the one dealing drugs to your kids, not me.

After all that I've done for this town?

I found prescriptions from a fake doctor

outside of Dr. Charleton's office.

I stored them in a safe place and there are hundreds more.

I don't need to stand here and take this from a newcomer.

Yeah, you need to come with me for questioning.

This isn't over.

Did you get the package?

Yes, I got it.

I met a friend here.

I'm feeling much better.

If you change your mind, I'm here to help.

It makes some people feel better knowing

I offer this kindness.

Are you okay?

I don't know.

I just wonder if this town is right for us anymore.

What? Mom, seriously?

We just got here, and now...

Okay, let's not do this tonight, okay?

We'll talk about it in the morning.

Don't stay up too late.

Sounds like a nightmare.

I just cannot believe Dr. Charleton snapped, though.

I can.

He's such a loose cannon. I could see it coming.

Hey...

You know that they found his prescription pads, right?

Might wanna ditch yours, just in case.

Yeah, I did.

Thanks, Mace.

Do you happen to have any more of those pills

by chance?

Maybe. You'll have to work for them.

Oh, come on. What do I need to do now?

Mm, tell you what,

let's talk about it in the morning.

I'll text you when I leave, okay?

'Kay, bye.

Maisie?

911, what's your emergency?

Yes, my name's Laura Harper.

I think somebody's broke into my house.

Maisie!

Where are the prescription pads? Give them to me!

Police, open up!

I'm not done with you.

I'll find them.

Help! Help!

Hey, stop right there!

Freeze!

Hey, mom.

Some items were recovered from your house this evening.

I have some questions.

This pill matches what we've been seeing around town.

That's Protaxlerone.

Do you or your daughter have a prescription

for Protaxlerone?

No.

Do you or your daughter take Protaxlerone?

I just said no.

I wasn't asking if you had a prescription.

No.

No, Maisie wouldn't do that.

Also, we found this in Maisie's room.

Is that the same powder that Joe OD'd on?

We believe so.

Laura, have you ever suspected your daughter of doing drugs?

Maisie's been through a lot in her life.

Mm.

I mean, she's struggled more than most people her age,

but she is a good kid.

And what about you?

Is it true your husband was an addict?

Were you ever questioned by police

in connection with his death?

I had nothing to do with that.

Why aren't you guys out looking for Dr. Charleton

instead of putting the blame on us?

And why can you not see that this pill and this powder

were planted in our home by him to frame us?

This is my sister. Her name is Monica.

She used to be the pharmacist.

She was in a relationship with Dr. Charleton.

He got her addicted to opioids, along with him.

I was the only one who knew, well, people suspected.

Eventually, it got so bad I had to step in and intervene.

She quit the pharmacy and I drove her to our hometown.

Is she...

I checked her into rehab that same day.

Sobriety isn't linear,

but we take it one day at a time.

That man is solely responsible for her losing her license,

destroying her reputation,

and almost costing her her life.

I know he's no good.

I just need something more to book him.

So aren't the fake prescription pads

and all of this enough?

Prescription are good,

but I need something more to put him away long-term

and get him the help he needs.

So you'd rather put the blame on me and Maisie?

No, I'm asking you to help me get Dr. Charleton.

If we can find something more,

something that ties him to the pills and the powder,

then his powerful friends won't be able to protect him.

But I don't know what you expect me to do.

I've exhausted all of my options at the pharmacy

and I am not a cop.

You're right. You're a private citizen.

You don't have the red tape I have.

I never said this,

but you find that evidence, you clear your name,

you save your daughter.

Hey, Lizzy, can you give us a minute?

Sure.

What happened?

Girl, it is a long story.

Tell me everything.

I'm just glad you're okay.

Come on in.

I need your help with something.

Anything.

We need to break into Dr. Charleton's office.

What, like a revenge break-in?

Just trust me.

Hey, girls.

We just need to head out for a minute.

Lizzy, can I borrow your keys? I forgot mine at the diner.

Yeah, sure. They're just...

Thanks. Back in an hour.

Okay.

That was weird.

You don't think they know about the pills, do you?

Maisie?

Um, my mom found something of mine,

something I really didn't want her to find.

The pills?

No, it's a package.

A kit that lets you end your grief.

It was sent by my online counselor.

It looked a lot like what Joe took.

Maisie, what kind of counselor would send that to you?

Joe almost died.

I joined an online support group after my dad died.

I found someone named Angel who makes these kits.

Were you planning on taking it?

No, but it does comfort me to know that I have

the option there, waiting.

Okay.

Now, look, Maisie, there's too much going on

in Cedarville, okay?

You and me, let's get rid of the stash,

take the money, and go, okay?

No more outside noise.

No more parents who think they understand,

just you and me, okay?

I got you.

And where are we gonna go? I mean, we're 17.

Wherever we want. We get to decide.

Okay, this is it.

Um, let's find the prescriptions and all the...

It's locked.

Hide!

Ethan!

Laura!

Laura! Laura!

Goodbye, Laura.

You're finally doing what you've always wanted

to do, Sam.

You know, arresting me won't save your sister.

Shut the hell up.

When I said find the evidence,

I didn't mean almost get yourself killed.

Good thing I followed you.

I'm not sure what else I could have done.

Well, it looks like we got our guy.

His office is full of undocumented pills

and false patient reports.

The smoking gun we need to put him away for good.

What about the white powder?

Nothing yet, but I'm sure it's here somewhere.

So it's over now?

Certainly hope so.

Okay, with everything going on,

now's our time to get out of here.

You with me?

I don't know.

What?

Maisie, this is our chance to be happy.

You know, this stuff, that website,

it's not a game.

I never said it was.

I know, but you talk about it so casually,

like it's no big deal, but it's huge.

I'm really sorry.

Yeah, I guess I just...

I don't know.

I've lost so much already, you know?

I didn't wanna lose you, too.

Hey, you won't. I promise, you won't.

I just wanted to make all the pain with my dad stop,

and meeting you has already helped, Lizzy.

Hello?

- Dad? - Mom?

Where were you?

What happened?

Everything's okay.

Dr. Charleton has been arrested.

It's over.

So are we staying?

At Ethan's?

Uh, well, he's closed the restaurant for the morning,

so for breakfast, yeah.

Who wants bacon and eggs?

What's wrong?

I think Maisie might have gotten into something

with Dr. Charleton.

The police found a baggie of white powder at our house,

the same white powder that they found on Joe.

Do you think Dr. Charleton could have planted it there?

I honestly can't say. Everything happened so fast.

I just can't shake the feeling that we're not done here.

We're going to the beach, get some air.

Maisie, I think we should probably get home,

get some sleep.

I'm still buzzing from last night.

I think a walk would be good.

Yeah, I don't know.

Mom, please? I really need some air.

Trust me.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

Follow me.

Sara painted these before she passed.

They're beautiful.

I see them as a, a constant memory of her.

Way to keep her spirit alive.

We have to move forward, but we never forget.

I couldn't agree more.

Grief is just a shadow that keeps us in the dark,

until we decide to step out of it.

What is it?

It's a list of pharmacies where the fake prescriptions

were filled

and a pill count in Lizzy's handwriting.

Ethan, Dr. Charleton and Lizzy were in on this together.

That's not possible. She's a good kid.

It's in her handwriting, Ethan.

What if she got Maisie involved?

Oh my God, the white powder.

How could I be so blind?

Here, what do we do?

Like, do... do we go to the police?

Do we try and find them and get answers?

Ethan, these are our daughters.

We find them. We try to help them.

We talk to them.

Okay, I'm gonna call Maisie.

Hey, leave me a message.

What is it?

They're not at the beach.

All right, let's sell the rest of these pills,

and then we will get the hell out of here.

Ready?

Oh!

Here.

Hey, what is all this stuff?

Um, it's like a high-potent salt.

It's used to preserve meats and stuff,

like every restaurant uses it.

So, uh, tell me how all this works again?

How what works?

You and Dr. Charleton.

I told you, he, you know, got the fake scrips,

gave me the supply.

He's an addict.

He needed me, but uh, it's over now.

So he scammed the pills and you dealt them?

Yeah, me and whoever I could recruit.

And I was just an easy target.

I only ask people I trust and I trust you, Mais.

Why?

Because you and I, we've been through

the same thing.

We're like survivors.

What about my mom's pharmacy? Was that you?

Maisie, that was Dr. Charleton. Why are you being like this?

What did you do to Joe?

I told you that wasn't my fault.

And the powder you gave him?

That powder over there looks exactly like the one.

Angel sent me.

Okay, it's salt, Mais.

So I'm leaving here.

You can come with me or not.

No, I'm not going anywhere with you.

What'd you say?

I'm not going. I'm staying here.

Do you run that site with Dr. Charleton?

Tell me!

You're not making any sense.

Is that what you do?

Just go around preying on lonely people?

Screw you, Maisie!

You know, I helped you. Don't you remember?

I was the only person who actually cared about you.

I kept your secrets and you needed me,

just like, just like I needed you.

I thought I could trust you.

I... I thought I had actually found someone

who would never leave me.

I guess I was wrong.

Maisie? Maisie?

Lizzy, where's Maisie?

Get out of my way!

- Hey. - Let me, let me go.

Lizzy.

Maisie?

Maisie!

Is this a possible OD?

Oxygen level still dropping. BP 180 over 120.

Was Naloxone administered?

Ms. Harper?

Is she...

She's stable at the moment,

but I'm afraid she had some swelling in her brain

due to a lack of oxygen,

and we've had to put her in a medically-induced coma

until the swelling goes down.

She OD'd on something.

It's the second one we've seen like this recently.

Toxicology report could take some time to ident...

Ms. Harper?

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry I couldn't keep my promise

to keep you safe.

I remember the day I had you.

Your dad and I were over the moon.

You had these big, beautiful eyes.

You wanted to see everything the second you came out.

Oh, you never napped,

as if you were always afraid that the world was gonna

pass you by.

Well, baby, the world has stopped,

and it won't start again until you wake up.

I'm so sorry.

Did you arrest Lizzy?

She's in custody now.

Okay, well, well, has she said why she did it?

And did Maisie find out that her and Dr. Charleton

were running the drug ring?

Is that why she tried to kill my daughter?

Lizzy wants to talk to you.

It's unusual,

but in this case, it could help.

Thank you for coming, Ms. Harper.

My daughter is in a coma, because of you.

So tell me what you need to say and make it fast.

Okay, look, there's something else going on here, okay?

It... it's not the pills or the drug ring

or Dr. Charleton. It's something bigger.

You know about the baggies with the white powder, right?

What about it?

Okay, I'm gonna tell you something.

Just don't be sad, okay?

Maisie's been going to this website.

It sends out these kits to people who order them,

and it's supposed to help them, but it doesn't.

It's killing people.

How do you know this?

Well, she told me about the site.

They even sent her a package.

That's what the white powder was!

I'm sorry, I didn't know what to do.

I was trying to show Maisie how to have fun

and appreciate life.

You know, she doesn't have to be alone in her grief.

I'm sorry.

Lizzy, you've been through a lot in your life.

Your mom passing from her illness

couldn't have been easy.

You mean her depression.

Wasn't she sick?

Yeah, she was sick,

but that wasn't what killed her.

Ms. Harper, my, my mom couldn't take

any more suffering.

She chose her own fate.

Laura, what are you doing here?

I don't even know anymore.

I can help you get rid of your pain.

Who is this?

I'm the angel of grief.

Grief? You're a coward.

You send these packages to vulnerable people.

You don't understand, Laura.

You knew.

You knew about the packages, the website.

You had access to any pill you wanted.

You're Angel.

Laura, what are you talking about?

Laura, you okay? What's going on?

Kate's running a website.

The ODs in this town are because of her.

Laura, you are so off base here, okay?

I have nothing to do with any of this.

Back me up!

I heard a rumor about Monica.

W... w... what did you hear?

Well, that... that you and Monica

were stealing drugs yourselves and selling them around town.

That is not true!

I... I have no idea what happened to her.

She disappeared one day

and I have no idea what she's doing now.

She's in rehab. Townsend told me.

I'm so sorry for everything that has happened to you, Laura,

but there are no more villains in this story,

just some kids who've made some bad choices.

No, someone has to answer for why my little girl

is laying in a hospital bed clinging to her life! You...

Okay, okay. Come with me.

I'm gonna make you some tea.

Stay right here. Be right back.

It hurts so bad.

I don't wanna feel this way anymore.

I wish I could talk to my dad one more time.

I can grant you that kindness.

I can send you a package.

I can grant you that kindness.

I can send you a package.

Kate, run!

What?

No.

It's almost ready.

You.

You did this.

You're the one selling the packages.

My wife, she suffered greatly.

Do you have it?

She wanted relief from her illness

and from her depression,

but the doctors, and the nurses,

and insurance company,

no one would give her that small kindness.

Thank you.

It took me a long time to realize

I was only holding her back.

All she wanted was to go, so I helped her.

Sara...

Go. Go!

Mom!

After she passed, I made a promise

that no one should have to suffer like she did.

People deserve the right to choose when and how they go.

You're helping people end their life

by mailing them a toxin.

No, it's not a toxin. It's a sodium compound.

I use it in the diner to preserve meat.

In small amounts, it's fine,

but with the right amount, it's fatal.

You're killing people.

I'm helping people stop their suffering.

You sent one of your death kits to my daughter.

Do you ever talk to Maisie? Do you truly listen to her?

I didn't know it was her when you first moved here,

but your mailing address gave it away.

She's been crying out for help, she needed it.

Pain she's been carrying because of your husband's death

is debilitating.

Had to offer her grief counseling,

just like all the others.

She is 17, just like Lizzy.

I had no idea that Lizzy was involved in the drug ring.

I have not been able to get through to her.

Her walls have been up ever since Sara passed.

I have tried, and I have tried,

but I am the last person that she wants to talk to.

It's not like the people on the site.

I help them.

You're the reason your daughter is selling drugs.

You're insane.

I care for you, Laura, and I do not want you to go,

but I can't have you in the way of my life's purpose.

Honoring Sara's legacy, it is my path,

and I have to defend it.

Don't worry, it'll all go in quiet soon.

Hey!

Laura, stop! No, get back here!

Laura.

Laura!

Suspected you for a while, Ethan,

checking the site for clues, but now I know for sure.

You're Angel.

I didn't hurt anybody who didn't ask for it.

I helped them.

You crossed an ethical line

and you broke the law.

Come on.

How's she doing?

Uh.

She's out of danger.

How are you doing?

Lizzy confessed to stealing the powder

from her father that landed Joe in the hospital.

She thought it was cocaine.

She had no idea what Ethan was up to.

What'll happen to her?

She'll be charged as a minor for what she did,

but her father will spend a lifetime behind bars.

With the right support, there's a chance for her.

I can see it.

I can, too.

Well...

Officer Townsend?

Yeah?

Thank you.

And I am sorry about your sister.

Maisie?

Maisie!

I'm so sorry.

Hey, how'd it go?

Shoot.

Okay, well, there's always next year.

We're going to nationals.

- What? - Yeah!

Oh, I'm so proud of you.

Thanks, mom.

Can you get that for me?

What are you doing here?

Ta-da!

I thought that you had another hour

of community service, and where are your keys?

Hey, Lizzy, dinner's ready.

Oh, are we still on to visit the cemetery

this weekend?

Oh, definitely.

We'll see your mom,

and then we'll drop by the city and see Maisie's dad.

Hey, could we also book a tour at the university?

I heard that the social work program

is the best in the country.

Ooh, I heard about that one.

This looks good.
