They're... they're leaving. You talk to animals now? Long story. You can move now. Dummy. Oh! Um, I missed you big brother. Not as much as I missed you. Sorry, are you crying? No. really, really, really, really long day. It's been a really, really, really long year. Yeah. You were at Whittier Corp. You didn't want to see me. Why, hoss? because I was there to do a job. They're my kryptonite. That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me. It's true. So, um, how did I end up...
Here. We went to Juneau for Dr. Whittier to keep him from restarting the holiday project. Cause. I think Adam killed him. He picked Dr. Whittier up like he was made of paper, and he- I know. You know? Not until just now. I didn't know they took you either. So, how are you doing with everything the last time I saw you? Was when you told me I wasn't human. I want you to know I totally understand why you ran away. Nobody gets that more than I do.
I don't think... So let's do what we do best, Holiday. You and me, just like old times, we'll put our heads together, figure this out. First is getting a handle on exactly what you are. How you were built. What else you're capable of. What's that look for? You said what? Figure out what I am. Not who. What.
I just meant- I know what you meant. You keep saying you don't look at me any differently, but you do. A few months ago I was who, now I'm a what. I'm the top prize at a STEM competition.

Who talks like that when they're dying? And why is he dragging my kids into this again?
Honey, I think our chicken cutlets are now a chicken milkshake. Eh, Brady will still eat it. Or drink it. Who could that be? I got it, I got it, I got it. Birdie, who is it? I invited some of the child catchers over for dinner. Bird. I'm borrowing a book from Quirin Dora. Give me a little credit. I'm the last kid left in the house. Bertie? Just saying. Hi, Bertie. Hi, Dr. Randers. Hi, Mr. Anders.
Hi, girls. Thank your mom for driving you here. I'll be in the kitchen if you need me. That's the book. Thank you. So much. I'll give it back at school tomorrow. Not so fast, Bertie. What are we getting in return? My eternal friendship. Whoa, cool necklace. What ne- Oh, this hunk of junk. I think it's cool. Some old dude gave it to me. Whatever, he's dead. You want it? It's yours. Yes. Yes. Knock yourselves out. Cool. I love the drawings on the side. What is that?
Cool. Yeah, neato. Whatever. Bye, girls. Oh, Dad, I'm going to go back to my room. Better be doing homework. If I find out you're googling islands again... You're going to feel bad when I get kidnapped next. And instead of knowing how to get home, all I know is long to work with you! It's me, Badger! I'm gonna let you go! Don't! Scream! Badger, what are you doing here? I came to help. Are you for serious? You kidnapped half my family! Technically, that was Adam and Cam.

What is your dealio anyway? Are you a good guy, a bad guy? I can't keep track anymore. I'm not sure I know either. That's why I flew back them off the island, but we have to be Mom! Dad! Birdie, no! Come quick, Mom and Dad! It's Badger! He's... Who stopped by, Bird? Angelica.
Let undisciplined children run amok in No wonder they're dropping. Why are you here, Angelica? Bertie first. Tell us, what was that you were about to say about our friend? Holiday, I didn't mean... But you did, Cyrus. When you look at me right now, you don't see your sister. You see a project. A mystery. You're looking at me the way Angelica looked at you. Like I'm a thing. That's a lie and you know it.
Holiday, I'll never understand what it's like to be you, but I know what I think, and it's not that you're some lab experiment or the key to a gajillion dollars or anything. Not a real number, but okay. And I won't apologize for saying
instead of who you are. Wow, that was seriously harsh, Si. I won't apologize because I already know who you are. You're Holiday Anders. You've always been Holiday Anders from the I woke up in that hospital room you weren't programmed to be sister or birdie sister, JP Whittier for his terrible jokes, or to fall in love That's all and programming, there's an actual personality that's growing and evolving and becoming
