Can't figure out if the pills are making the dreams more real

Even on good days, I still feel like I don't fit in.

Like everyone else has it all figured out.

The clothes they wear.

The bands they like.

Who they are.

Who they wanna be.

And I'm the only one

who's stuck pretending.

Good morning, darling.

- Sleep well? - Uh, sure.

I refilled these for you.

- You were almost out. - Already? Are you feeling okay?

I'm fine.

Of course I'm not fine and they know it.

They just want me to say it out loud.

But I won't.

Because that would be the end of everything

and I'm not ready for whatever comes next.

Juliette.

It's been three weeks since your birthday.

We know you're nervous but we both think that it's time you...

Morning.

Morning.

Elinor, have you been out all night?

If I'm home now, does it really matter?

It does when you work for me.

Have I ever been late?

Elinor, my role model.

One day, I, too, will be a self-confident, bull-by-the-horns kind of girl

who doesn't give a shit what my parents think.

Juliette, could you please remind Ben that we have a doorbell?

Oh, he knows.

We'll come back to these?

That isn't your color.

Sorry.

Much better, sweet little.

One day, I am going to kill him.

I would never allow that.

Ms. Fairmont, I do declare.

You are the prettiest peach I ever seen.

Well, aren't you just the sweetest thing?

Ben Wheeler is the kind of boy you fall in love with.

We've been jumping around in dirty puddles

and reading every book on my mother's shelf since we were born.

We dated for a month when we were 12.

Before we both figured out,

well,

what we really wanted.

Now he's the cool kid.

The star athlete who gets invited to all the parties.

And I'm popular by association.

Bottom line,

when I'm with Ben, I blend in.

My body is still changing.

The headaches are still raging but nobody knows,

because he makes me feel and look normal.

And fun and sexy, but I don't wanna try too hard.

Yeah.

What are you grinning at?

Your face.

Hey, lots of people like this face.

Noah Harrington likes this face.

Noah Harrington has a girlfriend.

Noah Harrington's confused, but he'll come out.

Another migraine?

Uh, yeah.

Stay out of the sun.

It makes them worse.

There.

That's better.

Mm! Oh.

Sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry. That was my fault.

Oh.

Hi.

Hi.

It's Juliette, right?

We have English together.

Yeah. Yeah.

And Physics.

And Gym.

Um, you're Calliope?

Cal's good.

Why?

What?

Oh, I just mean I like Calliope.

It's strange.

I mean, it's...

- It's beautiful. - Is it?

Classic?

Classical?

You should meet my brothers Theseus and Apollo.

Um, but there's a party.

Tonight at Noah's.

My friend Ben is making me go.

I'm not big on parties.

Me either.

They're dumb.

But I promised I'd go so...

I'll be there.

If you decide to go too, then maybe I'll see you?

Yeah.

Okay.

Cool.

Wait. Wait!

Don't worry.

I got it.

Make a wish?

I think that only works with eyelashes.

Oh.

Tonight?

Okay.

Awesome.

Great.

See you there, Calliope.

But I guess I'll see you in English first.

Yes, right.

Mr. Porter.

Bye.

Hey.

You don't wanna miss this one.

Everybody's gonna be there.

I hope that's a love letter to Flannery O'Connor.

Yes, sir. It sure is.

I've always been sensitive.

But it's getting worse.

Every day,

the world is a little sharper.

A little louder.

And today,

just when I think it's too much,

I bumped into you.

Ms. Burns. I know you just transferred in,

but surely clocks work the same way at your old school.

Sorry.

That's all right.

Since you're already up, I'm sure you won't mind getting us started.

"Hazel Motes sat at a forward angle

on the green, plush train seat."

"Looking one minute at the window as if he might wanna jump out of it,

and the next down the aisle at the other end of the car."

"The train was racing through tree tops..."

Who are you, Calliope Burns?

Why do you show up now?

I can't shake the fear that as soon as I blink,

you'll disappear.

"The plowed fields curved and faded,

and the few hogs nosing in the furrows looked like large, spotted stones."

Thank you, Calliope.

So let's talk about setting.

Setting is never just a backdrop in a story.

It's a character,

often the first one we meet.

It's important, then, to note...

You're not my first crush.

Not even my second.

But this one feels different,

more intense.

Like I know we're going to happen.

I just don't know when.

It's silly, but when you're swimming around in my head like this,

everything else disappears.

Somehow, an hour goes by in five minutes.

Essays due on Wednesday.

Midterms on Friday.

Mark the dates on your phones.

That's what those calendar apps are for.

You coming tonight? Brad's gonna come, right?

He has to come. He's bringing beer.

Sounds good.

- Hey. - Hey.

Hey.

Oh, shit.

Who wears pure silver?

Oh, shit.

Shit.

Shit.

Oh, yeah.

That.

I haven't told anyone, of course.

Not even Ben.

So why do I keep wishing I could tell you?

I'm home.

I can see that.

There's a party tonight at Noah Harrington's

and everyone's going,

so I wanted to see if I could go.

Hmm.

You look peaked.

Please tell me the night terrors haven't started.

How are you feeling?

I feel great.

Then I don't see why not.

Okay.

You can unhand me now.

Oh. Yes.

See you at dinner.

You went through my bag?

Sit down, sweetie.

You can't keep taking these.

They clearly aren't effective anymore. Your body is changing.

My body, Mom.

We shouldn't have let her wait this long.

Dad, Dad, I'm not ready.

It isn't that hard.

Just choose someone.

Margot, please. Just...

Sweetie, I know that it's scary.

No. No, it's not scary. It's wrong.

- I don't know why I have to! - Because every day you don't,

you put yourself and this entire family at risk.

There are humans trained to hunt and kill us.

Your father has made it safe for us in Savannah, as safe as he can,

but we survived by our commitment to blending in.

Hiding in plain sight.

And every day that you refuse to embrace your nature,

you are closer to the day where it controls you.

The day that you kill recklessly because you simply must feed.

Oh, no. What did you do this time, Jules?

I just wanted to go to a party.

Ooh. A party.

Elinor, this is serious.

Yes.

Very.

Is that what you plan to wear?

Come with me. We can do better.

This is not a game.

I know.

Then make her understand.

I will.

As soon as you take your talons out of my arm.

You know, it's okay to be nervous, sweet little.

Your first kill's a big step.

It changes you.

- What if I don't wanna change? - You're already changing.

Which is why the pills aren't working.

Why your senses are heightened.

The kill just kind of tips the scale.

What was it like?

Your first.

Freddy.

He was beautiful.

Eyelashes for days

and the most beautiful smile.

You know, he barely even fought back.

I think some people prefer to die young.

Hair jewelry.

That's what you need.

The right hair jewelry and a perfect big juicy carotid artery.

You are going to have so much fun.

Just go out there and find someone.

Unless you already have.

- I like her. - You want her.

No.

I don't wanna hurt her.

I don't wanna hurt anyone.

Does your throat feel like it's on fire yet?

Have you started crying blood?

You keep putting this off, it's only going to get worse.

Okay, now purse your lips.

Go on.

Have a look.

Just remember.

Stay calm, be prepared,

and always finish what you start.

I think a lot about how the world treats teenage girls.

Like, everything that's good about us is a weakness.

Our hearts, our emotions,

our empathy, means we need to be protected.

- How was your ride? - Good.

- Want me to drop you off at school? - I'm good.

Okay.

My whole family treats me

like they know I have all the potential in the world,

but I have a lot to learn.

Maybe both are true.

All I know is I'm ready to prove to them what I'm capable of.

Week two in Savannah.

It's not easy to make friends

when you know you'll be in a new city in a few months.

So head up, shoulders back, smile politely.

Thanks so much.

Every day, I just go through the day so I can get back home,

to the only place I feel normal. With my family.

When my parents first started hunting,

I started having nightmares.

For years, every time I'd close my eyes,

I'd see monsters.

Ones with claws as long as steak knives,

teeth as sharp as glass.

That was before I learned the worst ones always look human.

I learned that from JoJo when I was 3.

She's the first Guild Guardian I ever met.

My parents were on assignment in Paris at the time.

The Guardians were doing what I've seen them do

so many times now:

warding off monsters and evil spirits

with special candles, bunches of sage,

and strategically-placed sea salt.

I don't know how I unpacked all those boxes so quickly.

Where do you wanna put this one?

Right over here.

- Yo, you ready? - Yeah.

Rituals: A sequence of important activities,

gestures, words, and actions

performed in a sequestered place.

In other words, get your narrow ass out my way

so I can do my job right.

Sorry.

Assholes.

Easy on the threshold.

Hey!

- Where you going? - Got a tip, Calliope.

From who?

And saying my name like that isn't gonna make me not wanna go.

Out at Colonial Park Cemetery. Get back in the house, we gotta go.

Be back in a minute.

No, we're not. Don't be ridiculous.

It's gonna take a lot longer than a minute.

- You should be all set. - Okay.

It takes a few hours for the wards to cure.

So you keep your eyes open.

I always do.

Why do you think they're showing up now?

Who cares?

The Guild sent us to kill them. So we kill them.

It's actually a great question, Cal.

Good to know why you're doing the things you're asked to do.

We're monster hunters. That's why we do what we do.

But 25 years since the Guild came through and cleaned up

and now they're just back? Strange, right?

It's strange it took them so long.

Savannah's always tough to keep clean.

All those battles, that bloodshed.

Centuries of violence and betrayal.

The cemetery we're going to now dates back three centuries.

Final resting place of over 10,000 souls,

including victims of the yellow fever epidemic

and graves desecrated by Sherman's army.

That's your big brother's way of saying

you can't keep a good ghost down.

I spend a lot of time pretending to be normal.

Normal families go to the movies,

have cookouts in the back yard.

Go fishing. Take trips to Disneyland.

We do this.

Said you got a tip. What kind of tip?

Disturbed graves, exhumed bodies, some very human-looking teeth.

- So we're thinking... - Ghouls.

Yeah.

Ghouls.

I love them. They don't beg, don't plead.

Don't ask a lot of questions.

Hey, whoa. Uh-uh.

I don't think so.

Lookout? Again?

- Lookout is a vital part of the job. - Keeping you safe

so Mom doesn't kill us.

One day, I'm going to be the greatest hunter who ever lived.

And these clowns will simply be known as my brothers.

Theo was 12 when he made his first kill on a sweep with my dad.

Focus, son.

You're running out of time.

And Apollo,

he was 14 when he got his shot.

Pretty good, son.

Me? I got my first chance last winter.

And I failed.

When am I gonna get another shot?

It's up to Mom and Dad.

Well, I'm at 19 kills and I'd like to make it 20.

So let's hope there's actually some...

You were saying?

So tonight, I'm the lookout.

Again.

Tasked with spotting monsters because I once missed one.

When hunting monsters, there are three rules.

Pay attention to everything.

Be prepared for anything.

And always finish what you start.

Got eyes, baby sis?

Just clocked the first one. May be a ghoul.

Talk to me, Calliope.

Clocked the second one, you got two.

Good, we each get our own.

Theo, you've got one two rows east, three graves north.

Apollo, yours is on the move, go left.

Yo.

Damn. You are ugly.

- See it, Theo? - Yep. About to go to work.

- Aim for the head. - Stop...

hunting.

You're number 20, buddy.

Theo, there's a third.

Theo?

Theo? Do you hear me? There's a third ghoul.

I'm coming in.

Theo!

Theo!

Hey!

- Cal! - Cal! Stand back!

I got this!

Cal!

A damn vamp?

Yeah, you definitely had it, huh?

She looked like a ghoul.

Mm-mm. I better see some salad on there too.

- So how'd it go? - Oh, you know, I did my thing, so...

Translation: two ghouls, we disposed of them in short measure.

And one vamp. It just came out of nowhere.

Really? A vampire in the same place as ghouls?

Yeah, the way it came at me was weird. Feral.

- Good thing Cal clocked it. - Oh, good job, baby.

They didn't used to be so bold.

I mean, even in Savannah.

No wonder they sent us, huh? We'll get rid of them.

Love to finish a job before Pop gets home.

He hates it when we do that.

Can you pass the bread?

They keep telling me my time is coming.

They don't understand that until it does,

I won't feel like a member of this family.

Bam! I stabbed it right in the chest, right?

The thing slides down my sword like meat on a skewer.

It was crazy.

You should let me go train at the Guild Academy right now.

- Hey, Dad. - How's my girl?

You keeping your brothers safe?

- I'm trying. - And how's that new school?

You make any friends yet?

What's the point?

- We'll be gone by Christmas. - I know, but...

it doesn't mean you shouldn't try, baby.

You're 16 once, Cal. You're allowed to have a life.

This is my life, Dad.

- If you let me show you. - Your turn is coming, baby.

Yeah, but...

Hi, stranger.

Hey, gorgeous.

As usual, we're gonna go over our assignments,

and as usual, Apollo will complain about his.

Okay, I'll let you handle it, babe. See you soon.

All right, let's see what we got.

Mm-mm. You have a job. It's called school.

Stop looking for something to be unhappy about, they're covers.

Just covers? For who?

I worked in that gym for six weeks. Punched the clock every day.

I'm sure the fact it was on a college campus

full of pretty girls had nothing to do with your diligence.

Oh. I'm a stay-at-home mother.

Hmm.

- Okay. - Independent analyst.

- What does that even mean? - Whatever I need it to.

Let's see.

Oh, great.

You've gotta be kidding me. A trainer.

Again. Qualifications, good liar?

Oh, yeah, everybody can have a body like this.

- This is some bullshit. - Hey!

You want me to lose my religion tonight?

I know that's the adrenaline rush from that kill talking.

But you better watch your language in my house. Hear me?

Plus, it's not a bad cover.

You get to talk about your favorite subject all day. You.

Mom, can I please tell him to go to hell?

Sure, if you got somewhere else to live.

All right.

Here's to killing monsters.

Damn.

You're hot.

- What's up? - You're alive?

- I was beginning to wonder. - Just been busy.

You know how moving in can be.

Code for "I found another girl

and spent my time making out with her behind the gym"?

- Yeah, right. - You can tell me.

- What are friends for? - And exes?

Come on, Cal. Who is she?

She's...

- I don't know. - You're feeling her.

- I'm not. - You used to be a better liar.

There was a moment, but we don't have a lot in common.

Hate that. Straight girls should come with a warning.

You still in Philly?

No. Actually, I wanted to tell you.

I did it. I got my first kill.

Wow, that's... amazing.

What was it like?

I mean, like...

Uh...

Sorry. Gotta go.

Fam's planning a surprise celebration they think I don't know about.
