Neil: With everything
that's happened,

Do you wanna see liam?

(traffic whooshes by)

- I mean, yea--

Yeah, I mean,
of course I do. I just...

The last time we saw each other,

We said, you know,
he said, "I love you,"

He said he was sorry,

And then we said goodbye.

- And you thought goodbye
was permanent.

- Yeah, I mean, I didn't hear
from him for five months.

I mean, what was I supposed
to think?

- Well, there's no statutory
limit on love.

- Yeah, but I don't understand
how, in my gut, I was so sure,

And yet I was so wrong,
you know?

- Gut feelings are conditioned
responses...

Sometimes to trauma.

In your personal life,

Are there other people
who've left?

- Well, I mean, my sister died.

That's leaving, I guess.

- And then your mother left,
jenny.

Does thinking about it
shut you down?

- No... No.

- It's perfectly natural to go
to a place of "no,"

In your body and your mind,

To protect yourself.

Here's some homework:

For the rest of the week,
I want you to say yes

To everything.
- (laughs)

- No matter what your gut says.
- (laugh dies out)

Let your life unfold, jenny.

Surprise yourself.

(traffic whooshes by)

(phone rings)

- (chuckles nervously)
it's work.

Dr. Cheng: Always on call.

I can relate.

So your biopsy shows that

You have solitary spinal
plasmacytoma.

- Uh...

- A low tumour in
the lumbar spine.

♪♪♪

Your lumbar puncture confirms
that it hasn't spread,

Which is good.

- Okay.

- The tumour explains the pain
in your leg,

And why it progressed
to your back.

- Okay.

- Without the pain,

We wouldn't have caught it
as quickly as we did.

So, that's a good thing too.
- Mm-hmm.

- You'll need to start
a regular course of radiation

As soon as possible.

How about thursdays?

- (exhales slowly) um...

Uh, will I, will I be able
to work?

- Well, there can be some side
effects to the treatment -

Fatigue, nausea -

But you're free to work
if you feel up to it.

Oh, you'll need a ride home
Thursday.

We don't know how you'll react
to the radiation.

You might need someone
to take care of you.

- Yeah. She said the guy came
out of nowhere,

Ran right in front of her.
- Ran? He was on foot?

- All the witnesses confirm
her story.

- Delivery guys don't usually
travel by foot.

So where's his vehicle?

Ask if he used a car

Normally, this is a place

Right this way.

(birds chirp,

- So, uh, how does
the retreat work?

- It's a silent retreat.

Very structured schedule -
ten days, ten participants.

They take workshops or seminars

For about 12 hours each day.

- Wow, that's a long day.

- I think of it as a luxury.

I mean, when's the last time
you spent

All that time on nothing
but yourself?

- Well, not since my son
was born.

Definitely not since my dad
moved in.

There's no sign of injury.

- This is a medical form
she filled out for our records.

- Shirley brownstone.

No pre-existing medical
conditions,

No medications.

Was she exhibiting any sign
of illness?

- No, nothing.
(sharp inhale)

In fact, she was great.

Shirley had bloomed.

It's crushing that she died
here, of all places.

(indistinct chatter)

- Why's that?

- Because in the maze, you...

You don't lose yourself.

You find yourself.

Can I ask, how did she die?

- Uh, we don't know that yet.

We're gonna have to do
an autopsy.

- I can't believe that
this happened.

I mean, that she died here.

She just bloomed
a few days ago.

- Sorry, can I, can I ask, um...

What does "bloomed" mean?

- Oh, it's an expression
that faye uses

For a moment of transformation.

When you finally break free
of whatever pain or fear

Brought you here.

- Hmm.

Does... Does everyone
experience that?

- It's what we're all working
towards.

When you realize that there's
nothing standing between you

And the life that you want.

Was blunt force trauma
to the head.

Donovan: Makes sense.
That van hit him pretty hard.

- Yeah. I found shards
of glass in his skull.

I actually found something else
kind of interesting too.

Once I washed off
all the blood,

There were cuts like
knife marks

That were not from
the accident.

- Defensive wounds?
- Yeah, looks like it.

- Knife marks and running
into traffic?

Let me call you back.
- Okay.

What's your body telling you?

- Not much from the outside,

But there's no external signs
of injury.

She does have a rash
on her legs.

Poison ivy.

- Hmm. I have seen it
in worse places.

It does make sense though.

There was a lot of forest
around the retreat.

- Turning tides sounds nice.

- Yeah, it was uh... Peaceful.

I can see how someone
would bloom there.

- "bloom?"

Melanie: Whoa! We have a bezoar

Jenny: Looks like...

Unabsorbed pills.

- Your house was the last
scheduled delivery.

- Oh.

- There's some indication

That he had an altercation
with someone.

Know anything about that?

- No, but that kinda thing
happens all the time now.

This neighbourhood's really
changed. Is that all?

- Yeah, for now.
Why don't you, uh...

Give us a call if you remember
or hear anything.

- Uh, one more thing, um...

Did the delivery guy leave

- Yeah. Took off like a bat
out of hell.

Guess he had somewhere to be.

(door clicks open)

- He didn't really see him,
but he "looked asian?"

- You know, a lot of food
delivery services

Put cameras on their vehicles

- We need to find that bike.

- The police did find an empty
bottle of acetaminophen

In your wife's room,

So we have ruled it a suicide.

I'm so sorry.
I know this hard to hear.

Had anything changed...
Recently?

Like was she um...

Was she sad,
or was she depressed at all?

- The covid crisis was hard
on us, on everyone -

Stuck at home,
nothing to do but worry -

But we were fine.

I thought we were fine.

Shirley said she was going
to turning tides to...

Re-center herself.

I didn't ask specifics.

Three days ago,
she left a voicemail

Saying she wanted a divorce.

- She didn't say why?

- No.

The next day...

She withdrew $10,000 dollars
from our account.

I went there,

Wouldn't let me see her,

Said "no outside contact

(window rattles)

(window rattles)

(low, indistinct humming)

(humming)

(humming gets louder)

- Hello?

(humming stops)

- Uh, it's... It's jenny cooper.

I'm the coroner.

What's your name?

Hello?

Look, I just um...

I just wanna know
what happened.

Okay...

Oliver?

- Tell me how it started.

- One night, I heard her
singing through the vent.

I told her she had
a great voice

And it kinda just kept going
from there.

- It's really cool how you sing
to yourself every night.

- After hard days
it picks me up.

Do you ever feel like...

You're defined by someone
else's idea of you?

- What do you mean?

- Like the one person who's
supposed to love you the most

Has no idea who you really are.

- Yeah. I know exactly
what that's like.

- (laughs) you know,

Let's forget this pity party.

Um, if you could be anywhere
right now,

Where would it be?

Um... First place that comes
to mind.

- The beach.

- I've always wanted to go
to hawaii!

- We should go
and learn how to surf.

- And only have drinks
with umbrellas. (laughs)

- That'd be great.

- Tell me who you are.

- Um...

You'll know me when you see me.

- (snorts softly)

(sighs)

- We would have mellow
conversations, at first.

- And then it turned
into something more?

- It just got too personal.

- I can't talk about it.

- Come on, shirley.

You know you can tell me
anything.

- I've... Never had an orgasm.

- You mean your husband never...
- Never.

- Did you ever talk to him
about it?

- I tried,
and then he tried, but...

It didn't happen.

Then he shut down,
I shut down,

And after, we pretended
everything was fine.

That's what he would
always say, we're fine.

(small laugh)

But I want more than fine,
dammit!

(weeping) I want more
than fine.

God, (chuckles)
would you listen to me.

Faye was right, I'm pathetic.

- No, don't listen to faye.

That's her thing,
to break you down,

Make you feel small.

Shirley, you are not small.
You're immense.

Immensely wonderful,
and smart,

And hilarious, and fun.
- Stop. Please.

- No, no, no, it's true.

You're the best thing
about this whole place

And I can tell that
through a stupid vent.

- It's just,
I've been so lonely...

For years.

(sharp exhales)
sometimes it's so heavy

I can't even get out of bed
in the morning.

I feel like I have no one.

- You have me.

(happy exhale)

- Yeah... I do.

- I knew it had gone too far,
but by then it was too late.

- Gah! (scratching)

Please don't do this!
Don't push me away, fareed.

- What?
What're you talking about?

- I'm sorry I followed you
into the woods--

- Oh no... Shirley,
what did you do?

- I know you're scared,
and you have a lot to lose.

I do too.
But, but I already told victor.

I already got the money.

It's time for
our new beginning.

- I... I don't think
I can do this.

- (breath hitches) what?

- I can't! I can't do this
anymore, shirley!

I can't!

- I blew up my whole life
for you!

- I didn't mean for shirley
to hurt herself.

It wasn't supposed to be real.

- Well, it was real

- Hey!

Twice in one week.

What's going on?

What?

What's this?
- For your trip.

There's another one
in there for mindy.

- So all of a sudden,

With my vacation?
