-[Ellie] Great work today, you guys. -[students murmur]
Sarah, strong finish. I loved that.
[Sarah] Thanks, Ms. Whedon.
[Ellie] Alexis, did you find a ride home?
[Alexis] Yeah, my mom's coming.
[Ellie] Good. [sighs] Okay, you guys. Don't forget to rehydrate
-and get some rest. -[student] Bye!

[Ellie] Rendell Locke is dead...
-[breathes shakily] murdered. -[man] What?
What happened?
You know what happened.
This is all my fault.
-[kicks door] -[Ellie cries]
What are we going to do?
I know what I need to do.
[clicks off phone screen]
[clicks open door]
[whacks chest]
[screams in agony]
[rushing effect]
[explosions]
[flames whip and roar]
[mellow instrumentals fading]
[utensils clatter]
So how are things over at Key House?
It must be pretty different now that the Lockes have moved back in.
Actually, none of them has ever lived there before so...
[scoffs] Right. Good point.
So, not back in, just in.
The raccoons got into the trash last night.
Otherwise, nothing unusual to report.
Good.
I mean, I'm glad things are going smoothly.
-[knocking at door] -Oh.
Keep eating. I'll get it. [sighs]
[door creaks open]
[mellow instrumentals]
Lucas?
Hey, Ellie.
[kisses hand]
I'm going to need your help.
[birds chirping]
[wind chimes dinging]

-[key rattles] -[lock clicks]
[door creaks open]
Hello?
Nina?
Anybody home?
[suspenseful instrumentals]

[ladder creaks]

-[slams door] -[clicks lock]
-[bangs on door] Hello? It's me. Ellie. -[Nina gasps]
Oh, Jesus, Ellie.
It's me.
[lock clicks]
[breathless] Oh, God.
-I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. -[exhales sharply]
Rufus left one of his guys and he was having a total meltdown.
-[sighs] -[stammers] I knocked, but no one was home
so I just, I used Rufus' key.
[stammering] Ellie, you can't just walk into my house.
[chuckles nervously] You should have called me first.
-[sighs] -You're right.
You're right. I'm so sorry.
I think it's just when it comes to Rufus, [stammers] I lose my head...
[Ellie] I found it, the Crown of Shadows.
-[dubious instrumentals] -Atta girl.
And the key?
[Ellie sighs]
Ellie, where's the key?
I only found the crown.
Well, I guess you're gonna have to go back again.
But Nina caught me today.
Oh, come on, Ellie.
Without the key this is just a goth accessory.
A shadow's just a shape on the wall.
Why do you want it?
[Ellie stammers]
[sighs] Where do you keep disappearing to all the time?
[clicks tongue] Aw.
Are you jealous?
-[seagull caws in the distance] -Why won't you just answer my questions?
-[camera shutters] -[floorboards creak]
-Shit! -[clicks phone screen closed]
[Lucas] Did he just take my picture?
I'll go talk to him.
[Lucas] I have a better idea.
[tires crunching on pavement]
[breaks whine]
-[engine stops] -[lights click off]
[keys jingle]
[phone keyboard clacking]
Hi, Nina. It's Joe.
[closes door] Yeah, listen, I, uh... I just saw something
and I can't explain it.
I think I just need to show you. I'll be home all night.
Hi, Mr. Ridgeway.
I hope you don't mind. We let ourselves in.
Joe, just give us the cell phone and we'll... we'll leave, all right?
[stammering] Yeah, how are you...
How did you get here?
You died 25 years ago.
Joe,
-just give us the phone. -Not until you tell me what's going on.
It's not going to make any sense to you! Please!
Please.
[dubious instrumentals continue]
[Ellie sighs]
[breathes shakily]
Come on, let's go.
I wish I could, but...
[bag crinkles]
as I recall, Mr. Ridgeway, you were...
always a talker.
Listen, I don't want any trouble.
[gasps] Get off! Get off!
We have the phone. He's not going to tell anyone.
-[Mr. Ridgeway struggling] -What are you doing? Let him go!
Oh, my God!
[screaming] No! Let him go!
-[Mr. Ridgeway gasps for air] -[Ellie] No!
[struggling and gasping]
[screaming] No! [cries]

[Ellie] Oh, my God. It's Nina.

Lucas, wait!
Shit!
[suspenseful instrumentals]

Joe?
-[breathes shakily] -Joe, it's Nina! I got your message!

Joe?
Joe!
[inhales sharply] Joe! Joe! No!
[gasping]
Oh... [groans]
[stammers] My friend's dead. He's not breathing.
-[somber instrumentals] -There was a plastic bag over his head.
-[breathes shallowly] -Joe! Joe! [gasps]

-[magazine rustles] -[dog barking in the distance]
[suspenseful instrumentals]
-[Ellie gasps] -[groans]
[laughs menacingly]
That really hurts...
[grunts]
my pride.
-[gasps] -Come on, Ellie, why'd you do that, huh?
-You know you can't kill an echo. -[exhales sharply]
I'm already dead.
-You should know that more than anyone. -[breathes heavily]
Do you know what's going to happen if you don't help me?
I'm going to have to tear poor Rufus' useless little head
off his skinny little body,
and I'm pretty sure you don't want that, do you?
[screaming] Look at me!
You should be happy, Ell.
We're together again...
and we're so close to having everything that we need.
[instrumentals intensify, then fade]
-[birds chirping] -[mellow instrumentals]
-[whacks] -[body thuds]
-[Tyler] So... [sighs] -[young Lucas] No, Rendell, no!
[Tyler] Lucas and Dodge are the same person.
[whacks]
How is that possible?
Only thing I'm sure of is that Dodge will come for the Omega Key.
Do you think it's safe where we put it?
Might be the safest place in the house.
-[footsteps approaching] -[Bode] Hey, guys, look.
I found the Matchstick Key whispering to me outside.
Sam must have dropped it.
What's that?
Nothing.
-What's nothing behind your back? -[Kinsey] Come on.
-We should get ready for school. -Yeah, don't wanna be late.
-I want to see it! -No, okay.
-You, get out, now. -[groans] Stop!
Hey! The only reason why you know about the keys
is because of me.
Because I shared them with you.
So stop shutting me out!
We're not shutting you out.
-We're-- -You're protecting me.
Yeah, I know.
But you can stop!
I've gone through everything you have.
I'm not a stupid little kid anymore.
Dad said I was very discerning for my age.
He did, huh?
Please.
Let me help.
[mellow instrumentals]
-[twinkling] -It's okay to be upset.
[Tyler] Memories aren't always accurate.
-They can be distorted. -[whacks]
[young Lucas] No, Rendell, no!
That's the guy who's staying at Ellie's house.
What?
You're saying you've seen Lucas?
[dubious instrumentals]
Rufus said he was his cousin.
There's something weird about him.
I think Rufus is scared of him.
That's because he's Dodge.
They're the same person,
or demon, or whatever.
In Duncan's memory, he used a key
that could change what he looked like.
So if Dodge has that key...
why would she use it to make herself look
like our dad's 17-year-old dead best friend?
[seagulls cawing]
When he died, what did they do with Rendell's body?
Do you remember?
[Ellie] I think they had him cremated. Why?
Because...
if they hid the Omega Key inside his head, then it's probably still in there,
along with whatever's left of him.
You're going to go digging around in Rendell's ashes?
No.
You are.
[instrumentals fade]
Mom?
Are you okay?
Yes.
I'm feeling much more like myself again.
[stammers] I just...
[Kinsey] What?
[Nina] I could've sworn
something happened to that thing.
No.
It's just been sitting there.
Like always.
Huh.
I must have just dreamt about it then. [chuckles]
I, um...
I'm so sorry, Kins.
There's no excuse for what I put you guys through. I--
You don't have to apologize.
Not anymore.
It's good.
We're moving forward.
-[Nina takes a breath] -[Tyler] Good to go?
Yeah.
Bye, Mom.
[curious instrumentals]
[door closes]
[bike wheels rattle]
[drops bike]
[Bode pants]
[instrumentals fade]
Bode.
-[exhales] -What are you doing here?
I skipped school.
Are you alone?
-Yes. My mom's at work. -[birds chirp]
What about Lucas?
[Rufus] How do you know?
[Bode] Because your enemy is my enemy too.
Only sometimes he's a lady.
When I first moved here,
she was down at the bottom of the well.
[Bode sighs]
[exhales] After she got out,
she must've changed herself into Lucas.
[Rufus exhales slowly]
That explains a lot.
I didn't know how he came back.
What is he anyway?
I'm not sure exactly,
but something bad.
He's the reason Sam killed my dad.
[suspenseful instrumentals]
[zipping] He made my mom steal this from Key House.
I don't know what it does,
but it must be pretty important.
There's a key you need to use it,
but my mom couldn't find it.
[Bode] I think I've seen that design before,
but I can't remember where.
[loudly] No!
He could walk in any time. [exhales]
[zips bag]
My mom made me promise not to talk about him.
-You should go. It's not safe. -Rufus.
[sighs] We're fellow soldiers, remember?
We can battle this out together.
How?
[inspiring instrumentals]
I'm going to find that key.
I can hear them whisper sometimes,
and then we'll use that crown as a weapon against Dodge.
I mean, Lucas.
You've just got to trust me, okay?

Ellie!
How can I help you, Kinsey?
-Cut the bullshit. -[indistinct chatter]
I know about the keys, and I know about Lucas.
He's staying with you.
Bode saw him when he was at your house.
Well, Bode must have been mistaken.
No, he wasn't.
Look, Kinsey, this...
[sighs] this is not appropriate.
Goodbye.
[stammers] I'm not gonna let you lie to me anymore.
Why are you helping him?
[Ellie sighs heavily]
Because I don't have any choice.
Do you know what he's done...
to us? To my dad?
How could you ever be a part of that?
[takes a deep breath, exhales]
I am doing what I have to do for my family.

He's pretty terrifying.
Yes, I am sure. It was Kinsey,
but the 4:00 a.m. after an all night kegger version,
and her eyes were bloodshot and her hair was gross. [scoffs]
Ellie admitted Lucas was there.
-She said she didn't have a choice -[engine rumbles]
and she seemed really scared.
Dodge is too powerful. We can't go up against her by ourselves.
So what are you proposing?
[birds chirping]
We need some help.
We should tell our friends.
[woman yells in the distance]
Scot and Gabe already know too much.
No, shutting people out isn't the answer. I mean, this is some other worldly shit
-we're up against. -[Eden yells] Hey!
I'm not finished with you.
[Tyler] What did you do now?
-I have no idea. -[Eden] You know,
I always thought that you were a freak.
Maybe she found out about the music box prank?
This is exactly why we can't tell anyone else about the keys.
Let's just go.

I won't do it.
-And the Locke kids are asking questions-- -I know.
[Rufus exhales shakily]
Bode came by earlier.
What did you tell him?
[takes a breath] He's going to try to find the key to the crown.
-Do you remember what I said to you? -I'm sorry, Mom.
-[exhales heavily] -I know I made a promise,
but I had to.
We need reinforcements.
[feebly] I'm sorry.
-I'm sorry. -Oh, it's okay. It's okay. [sighs]
You didn't do anything wrong.
-[dramatic instrumentals] -It's okay.
If we run, we'll always be afraid.
I'm sick of being afraid.
If I thought there was a way to fight back...
Come with me.
-[Rufus] He thinks I'm dumb, -[clanking]
that I don't see...
[Rufus sighs]
but I do.
-[items rattle] -Did you show these to Bode?
I wanted to show you first.
[instrumentals intensify, then fade]
[Tyler] Uh... Is any of this making any sense?
[curious instrumentals]
[sighs heavily] Okay. So your house is full of magical keys
and there's this demon chick who wants to take them
so she can open a black door.
Mm-hmm...
Yep. And, uh...
and Ellie Whedon is helping her.
Him, under duress.
The gym teacher. Well, of course. Now it's getting interesting.
[scoffs] This has been going on the whole time?
Yeah, since we moved here. Yeah.
-Pretty much. [chuckles] -[Logan] I don't know, man.
Do you have, like, some proof or...

Okay...
-[stammers] That's not bad. -[Jackie] Um...
I'm going to go check on Eden.
[retreating footsteps]
[chair rolls]
[sighs] Shit.
I haven't seen those feral cats roaming around the school for years.
Yeah, it's pretty unbelievable, isn't it?
[nurse] You poor thing.
You just rest while I run and get some more gauze.
[door opens]
So you didn't attack me,
but something that looks a hell of a lot like you did.
You care to explain that?
No, I really can't.
I felt that thing's breath on my face.
[Eden sighs]
It was...
[inhales, shivers] It was like some kind of, like...
-Monster? -Yeah, but that's insane.
I agree. It's all insane.
Look, it's a lot to get into right now, but...
that thing...
it's my fear.
What the hell are you talking about?
It used to live inside my head.
Now it's out and it attacks anything I'm afraid of.
You're afraid of me?
Yeah.
You're intimidating.
You're also kinda cruel to people.
Are you seriously blaming the victim right now?
No.
This is definitely my fault.
Well, I'm kinda flattered.
[engine rumbles in the distance]
Jackie! Hey!
Slow down. [exhales]
Are you okay?
[indistinct chatter]
Not really.
Fear monsters? Demons?
-Magical keys? -Yeah, yeah, I know.
[stammers] It's a lot to take in. Yeah.
[sighs, stammers] I'm sorry, I just... I need a minute, okay?
Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah.
So I guess you told her, huh?
[continued chatter]
How'd Eden react?
Surprisingly well.
[Tyler] Uh...
I'm gonna go get some snacks for everyone.
-You want anything? -I'm good.
[Scot] Eden okay?
-Yeah, she'll be fine. -[Scot] Good.
Good.
I mean, she's not exactly my favorite person in the world,
but life would be a lot less interesting without her, right? [laughs]
So, she got attacked by a seven pound feral cat?
-[scoffs] 'Cause that makes total sense. -[Scot] Mm-hmm...
Okay, here's what actually happened.
I used one of the keys to take the fear out of my head.
[Gabe sighs]
And everything was great for a while.
Then things got messed up.
I let myself get close to you...
even though we were already a thing.
I wasn't worrying about the consequences.
-[sighs] You're both amazing. -[Gabe scoffs]
I mean, that's the problem.
I know I should choose, but...
I don't want to.
[curious instrumentals]
What if I didn't?
What if I dated you both?
-[phone buzzes] -[Kinsey stammers]
-[Scot] So-- -Think about it.

Can we meet at Key House?

[Daniel] Nina.

-Daniel. [chuckles] Hi. -Uh...
Are you... you going to the meeting?
-[bell ringing continues] -[church door opens]
I, uh... I thought so, but...
[church door closes]
I don't think I'm in the right place.
Ah. Well, maybe...
-you'd like to get some coffee instead? -[church door opens]
-[chuckles] -[church door closes]
-Come on. -[giggles]
-[crickets chirp] -[dubious instrumentals]
You have to understand, I was doing what I thought was best for my son...
but I'm done being afraid.
Lucas, the one that I knew,
was sweet
and charming.
Dodge, that was my nickname for him.
He was on the fencing team.
[laughs] It's a little cheesy, I know, but...
Now that name means something completely different to me.
What happened to him?
The night after graduation, we had a sleepover here in the basement,
but Rendell wanted to go down to the caves.
A few weeks earlier, we had found this door down there.
Yeah, we know about it.
Your father became obsessed with getting it open,
and we all went
because the keys had only brought good things into our lives.
How do you remember any of it?
The keys, the magic?
We thought after you become an adult, you forget.
We found a way to remember.
After Rendell opened the black door,
there was this bright, blue light.
Then, these...
things shot out from the other side
like... like bullets, glowing bullets.
[exhales shakily] I saw one of them hit Lucas.
Rendell and Lucas managed to get the door closed again
and Lucas said he was fine,
and he did seem fine.
But later... [sighs]
[Ellie sighs]
I think it's easier if I just show you.
[neck opening crinkles]
[key crunches in opening]
[whirring]
-What? -[Ellie] Rufus and Bode,
you two stay here.
Keep watch. We won't be long.
[suspenseful instrumentals]
[rushing effect]
[mellow instrumentals]
We got back from the caves later that night,
tried to get some sleep,
after opening the black door
and that's when it started with Lucas.
[Lucas] Just hand it over, Mark.
[Mark] Hey, shh, be quiet! Everyone's asleep! What do you want?
[Lucas] Hand it over. I know you have it.
-[Mark] What are you talking-- -Lucas?
[Mark] What is wrong with you?
Give me the Omega Key.
Lucas, what's going on?
-He's acting crazy. -I know you have it.
-[Mark] Dude, just calm down. -Lucas, what are you doing? Lucas?
-[Rendell] What the hell? -Stop!
-[young Ellie] Lucas! -[Mark] Make him stop.
-[Mark] Lucas! -[Lucas, yelling] Just give me
what I want!
[Erin] Stop it! What are you doing?
[young Ellie] Let him go! What are you doing?
[Rendell] Stop!
-[Rendell] What are you doing? -[Lucas grunts]
-[body thuds] -[young Ellie] Kim!
[slow motion whirring]
[key dinging]
[young Ellie] Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.
[yelling] No, no, what did you do?
[young Ellie exhales sharply]
-He's not Lucas anymore. -[Lucas grunts]
-[Rendell] What is wrong with you? -[Erin] Jeff?
-[cracks neck] -[all gasp]
-[young Ellie cries out] -[Erin] Jeff!
[Erin] Kim!
[Rendell] What are you doing?
[young Ellie gasping]
[Lucas, gruff] Your turn.
-[suspenseful instrumentals] -[Lucas pants]
-[whacks] -[Lucas thuds]
-No! No, -[young Ellie cries]
-Rendell, no! -[whacks]
-[Rendell grunts] -[young Ellie cries out]
[gasping and heavy breathing]
[mellow instrumentals]
[hammer rattles]
[young Ellie sobs]
[young Duncan] Rendell?
[Ellie] Duncan saw what happened.
We had no choice.
We had to remove his memories...
put them some place he wouldn't find them.
The tree.
[young Ellie cries]
[Ellie] When Lucas got hit
by whatever came across from the other side,
some kind of demon attached itself to him.
[whirring]
[seagull cawing]
[Ellie] We created a story about how our friends had died.
It was easier than trying to explain the truth.
No one would have believed what really happened.
So we told everyone that we went down to the caves and our friends drowned...
and the bodies washed out to sea and they were battered on the rocks.
[waves crashing]
[muffled splash]
[muffled splashing]
[bubbling]
[Ellie] We divided up the remaining keys and we made a pact
to protect them and never use them again.
Rendell took the Anywhere and Omega Keys,
-[keys rattle] -Erin took the Head Key,
and Mark took the Matchstick Key.
Mark hid the rest in the house.
He was the most trustworthy of us all,
so it made sense that he should know where all the keys were hidden.
That's why he killed himself, so no one could ever get inside his head,
to protect the keys.
What about you?
What did you take?
The Identity Key and the Echo Key.
[Tyler] The Echo Key?
[Ellie] It can bring people back...
but not in the way that I thought.
[Rufus] If we can't find the key,
we should get the traps up around the perimeter
in case he or she or whatever shows up...
The traps didn't work.
The key ring! That's it.
-[retreating footsteps] -The key ring?
[dramatic instrumentals]
-[rustles in drawer] -[keys jingle]
[scoffs] I knew I'd seen it before.
[breathes shakily] I tried to move on with my life...
but I couldn't.
[stammers] I couldn't let go of Lucas.
Other people, their lives get bigger...
fuller...
I just felt like I was disappearing.
And last year, I...
I hit my breaking point...
and I came to the Well House.
[insects trilling]

[Lucas, echoing] Ellie.
[Ellie gasps and sighs]
[breathless] Lucas! Is that you?
-I'm here, Ellie. -[gasps]
Lucas!
[Ellie sighs]
[past Ellie] I promised I wouldn't use the key...
but I just missed you so much.
Do you have any others?
[rattling]
Just this one.
I know you can't leave this place, but...
at least I can see you now.
I can leave.
If you give me the Anywhere Key.
[exhales] Rendell has it.
Then get it from him!
Hey, no, I'm...
I'm sorry.
I'm just... I'm just frustrated.
I want to get out of here so I can be with you.
[Ellie gasps]
I want that, too, Lucas. [sniffles, sighs]
That thing wasn't an echo of Lucas.
I didn't know that when I called out his name
I wasn't bringing him back.
I was bringing back...
the demon that possessed him when he died.
-[Kinsey] You couldn't have known. -[crow caws]
The Keepers, we made a pact.
I broke that pact.
This is all my fault.
[sighs]
I just thought I could have him back.
-We should go. -[continued cawing]

[inhales shakily]
[Kinsey] When Bode met Dodge,
he was a she.
She can use the Identity Key to transform into any form
she thinks will be most useful.
So Dodge is... an echo.
How do we get rid of it?
It can't be killed by normal means,
believe me, I've tried,
but it can be trapped in the Well House.
The problem is getting it in there.
We have a way.
[Ellie gasps]
[shivers] It's the key for the Crown of Shadows.
Whoever wears the crown
can create and control powerful shadows.
It'll do whatever they want.
[Bode] Like...
force a demon echo into a Well House?
Exactly like that.
-So where is this crown? -It's back at my place.
I'll get it.
[Kinsey] We'll be here waiting.

[suspenseful instrumentals]
[Lucas] What do you got there, Ellie?
Lucas.
You've had a busy day.
Seems someone's been rummaging through my things.
[stammers] I took the Head Key.
Why?
[Ellie] I went to Key House
and tried to find the Omega Key in the ashes,
but it wasn't there.
The Locke kids must have found it first.
I thought I could use it on them to see where they put it. [sighs]
And did you?
[sighs heavily] They weren't home.
-I can try again tomorrow. -[Lucas, loudly] Ellie! Stop it!
You're embarrassing yourself.
-[tool rattles] -[Rufus grunts]
-[lamp clanks and buzzes] -[grunting]
-[table shatters] -[Ellie screams] Rufus!
[gasps] Oh, my God. Rufus!
-[gasping] Rufus! Rufus! -[Lucas] Look at that,
what you found.
-That's very helpful. Thank you, Ellie. -[chokes]
[breathless] Let me go.
[chokes, gasps for air]
[breathes heavily] Rufus.
-[thudding on floor] Rufus, are you okay? -[Rufus groans]
[Ellie pants] Oh, my God.
Are you okay?
