How did you three find me? Yeah, how'd that happen? It's not like any of us have a gift for tracking people or anything. Oh wait! I do. Also, duh, H. Where else would you go after you bolted the island? The Anders family got a new house, huh? Nice. You shouldn't have followed me, Adam. You shouldn't have taken off in the middle of the night. You owe me a boat, by the way. Why didn't you just tell us you were leaving?

Because you would have tried to stop me. Well, how about we do that now? You're not going in that house, H. You can't stop me from seeing my own family, Cam. Nope. You're leaving with us now. How many times do we have to say it, y'all? They aren't your fam. Cam, there's only one way to make her finally understand that. She needs her memory back. Aren't you tired of pretending, H? Don't you want to know what happened? Who you are? Can we at least talk about it? Fine, Badger. I'll talk.

Remember that time Holiday accidentally wore her shirt inside out to school? We left in such a hurry that morning, none of us even noticed. Yeah, well, I noticed the second she walked into math class. We heard. What? I was trying to be helpful. Please. She said you stuck a sign on her back that said, flip me. And did she flip it? No. If I remember correctly, Holiday wore her shirt inside out every day that week just to prove a point. So weird. The weirdest.

Listen, I know this is hard for all of us. Trying to go on with our lives while... Did you hear that? That sounded like a hoverboard! I didn't hear anything. I definitely did, and I have excellent ears. Birdie, hang on. I heard a hoverboard, didn't you hear it? Birdie, wait! Hubby two, are you out here? Holiday! Birdie! Birdie, come back inside.

Birdie, I don't know what you heard, but it wasn't- Cyrus, don't. Huh? She did hear something. Thank you, Brindley. I know, because the same thing used to happen to me after my mom left. You think I imagined it? I'm not crazy! Well, that's debatable, but I wasn't saying that. I believe you heard something.

I heard holiday. Or you heard a reminder of how much you miss her. Huh? It happens. It's like you think you see or hear someone, but really your brain is just reminding you that you still miss that person. It's not a bad thing. It means you still care. But what if she was here?

I know how much you want it to be real. I've been there. What would you do when you thought you saw your mom, Brindley? Sometimes I'd write her a letter, even though I had nowhere to send it. Figured I could give it to her when I saw her again. if i saw That's a great idea, Brindley. Why don't we all go back inside and write letters to Holiday? Okay, fine. But only because she's obviously not here anymore. Plus, I want to tell her that I know what I heard.

Brinley, was that true? Did you really write letters to your mom? Are you coming inside or not, Sinus? So Monica, are we team birdie or team Brindley? I'd love to believe what Birdie heard was real, but Holiday doesn't even know where we are. And why would she come all the way to Alaska and just leave? you Really, Holiday? This is where you want to talk? The charred remains of your old house? It was like a barbecue, Cam. Sorry, but it does, yeah. This was our home, before Magnus burned it down.

It's the only home I've ever known. Now it's just... Used firewood. I know you had a lot of good times. You did too, Badger. Well, that's history now. What's your problem? My problem is this is not the only home you've ever known. Neverland was your home before you ever came here. If it was so great, why did I leave? Only you know the answer to that. Why did you come here, H? I wanted to see them.

Cam, they have to be crazy worried about me. Didn't look worried to me. They seemed all cool to me too. Looked like they were having a good time. They didn't just forget me. They wouldn't do that. Okay. Say they are going out of their minds with worry. Say we let you run back to them and they're so happy to see you that they say it doesn't matter that you're not human. They want you to stay with them anyway. That's exactly what they'll say. Maybe. Then what?

They spend the rest of their lives hiding out to keep you safe. On the run from Whittier or Angelica Graves or whoever comes looking for you next. Because that's gonna happen. No matter what, you're still a bot. You have something people want. But if you stay with us, you'll be free from all that. That was right, Holiday. And the Anders family will be free too! I don't want them to spend having to worry about me. I just...

Don't know what? If I can trust you... There's one way to find out. Let Adam reset you. Cam is right, Holiday. You can't make a decision without knowing everything. give you your memories back. But you said it yourself, Badger. If I do this, I'll remember what happened, but it'll change how I feel about them. Maybe that's not such a bad thing. You get to choose who you really want to be. This is all you've ever wanted. The truth!

Okay. Okay, yes? Yeah, I guess. I mean, I've spent the last year and a half trying to figure out who I was and where I came from. Now I have a chance So what am I afraid of? You won't regret it. Badger? Yeah? When I wake up... Remind me that- remind me how much I love them. Every single day.

Not much, actually. It's just a series of movements and words that unlock your motherboard. Just like unlocking a phone. It works for remembering or un-remembering. Then we let you reboot for six minutes, so sit cross-legged on the ground. Okay? Now, put your right hand on your left foot and your left hand on your right foot. Got it. Now what? Now, repeat your favorite lines from your favorite book three times. Second star from the right and straight on till morning. Peter Pan. Of course. Okay.

Second star from the right and straight on till morning. Second star from the right. Until morning, you can do it. Second star from the right, and straight on till morning. And then a blunt impact to the torso. I got it. Sorry about this age. You mean you're gonna... She's out. It worked! Alright kids, six minutes till Holiday has her memory back.

I see them on the calendar, then I ask about them, and then they're gone. And I hate being out of the loop, so here I am. I'm gonna make a break for the door. I'm at the front door. I'm going to check the door handle. Last time I just... Ben! You need to lock your doors!

What is that? Ben's office has a huge whiteboard on the wall. And all it says is June 6th in huge letters. June 6th? What's June 6th? That's like in a month. What are they planning? Oh, poop!
