S2 E97: Six Minutes Sleeping Over

This show is brought to you by Acorns Early. So true story, when I was a kid, the very first thing I saved up for was a Build-A-Bear. Seriously, I'd stash away my allowance week after week until I finally had the $25 I needed. Then I'd get one and immediately start the countdown all over again for the next Build-A-Bear.

The thing is, I wasn't really learning much about money back then, except maybe how shockingly fast I could spend it on Build-A-Bears. Yikes.

Pick up, Brinley. Pick up if you want me to trust you. Brinley, pass your neck. Brinley, I've been trying to reach you all night. Adam? Of course it's Adam. What did you do with Badger? Can you use your real voice? It's kind of confusing when you're in holodork mode. I'll sound like who I want to sound like. You want to sound like a 12-year-old girl? The Anders family is downstairs. I can't let them hear my voice now, can I?

I suppose not. But let me make one thing clear. Ooh, that's even freakier. If this partnership stops working for me, you are expendable. Was that a threat? Was I unclear? How's this? Help me take out Casey. Or I take you out. I'd say that was pretty clear. Thought so. Now, Badger? I hid his body in my dad's meat freezer.

Wow. There's a creepy sentence. Point is, Dad's away. No one will find Badger. Good. Now let's talk about- Paws? Can I talk to you? I gotta go. I'll check in tomorrow to talk about Casey. Bye. Holiday. I can't open the door right now, Cyrus. I'm doing my hair. I heard you on the phone. Who were you talking to? To... Casey. Pause. Hey! I said I was busy. I get it. You're avoiding me. Look, Cyrus, it's late. It's been a long night and... And it's about to get longer.

What are you doing with that sleeping bag? We're having a sleepover! And I am not taking no for an answer, so you may as well toss me a pillow. Holiday, you okay? Neverland. It's all ruined. Well, what the soldiers and the warehouse fire didn't take out, the stampedes did. But I'll rebuild it. That'll take forever, Cam.

Good thing I have time on my hands. Yeah, but first we need to get back to Juno and stop Adam. I can't come with you, H. I told you what Adam is trying to do. If he's living in that house with my family... I'm glad I pulled you out of the ocean, and I hope you can save your family, but... What about your family? Mine? I promised I'd help you find one. And I meant it.

There are good people out there, Cam. People who will take care of you and look out for you. I wouldn't even know how to be part of a family. This life is all I know. When Cyrus found me in the water, I didn't even... Family. Love. Human. Holiday, it's happening again. You're glitching. It's like when Casey fried my circuits down in the caves. I don't know what's going on. Why oh they stay with me holiday You know sigh I'm gonna

pass on the sleepover. I'm exhausted. That's not a thing. You aren't capable of being tired, so... I meant emotionally. Just need a little... You know, mental space. Tonight was a lot. Well, that I get. Great. See you in the morning. I'm not leaving, Hulls. I know tonight didn't go quite as planned, but I need to tell you why I planned it in the first place. No, you don't. Stop it, Holiday. I know. You know? Yes. I see it. Everyone sees it. You're not... You're not yourself. Yes, I am.

No, you're not. You're... struggling. Oh. Struggling. Everyone has a theory. I'll bet. Casey thinks there's something really legit wrong with you. Casey. Look, I just want to let you know that I'm here for you. If you want to talk, you know? No pressure. Says the guy who refuses to leave. You know me. I see a problem and I want to fix it.

So I'm a problem in need of fixing? Not at all! You're my best friend, and you seem to be going through something, so I want to help you figure that out. Why? Because I want you to be okay. Ever since you came into our lives, it's been insanity, but it's still the best thing that ever happened to me. So, from day one, I just... I just always wanted and needed you to be okay.

DNA or not. What do you mean, DNA or not? No, I mean, of course you have my DNA, so we're obviously really connected. Your DNA. That explains so much. Does it? Yeah, it's just... so unfair. I mean, all these gifts. You mean your abilities? I guess that, but... Also, a family that loves her- me. Friends that really know me. What's unfair about that? Look at someone like, I don't know, Adam.

His father abandoned him? His friends deserted him? How could anyone expect him to act... human? Holiday, I... I know Adam was sort of like a brother to you, and... I can't imagine how hard it was to power him down, but you had to do it. No one was safe as long as he was around. You're right about that. But Adam didn't have to be like he was. He didn't have to build an army or start a war.

What choice did he have? There's always a choice. You know that better than anyone else. Let people in. Choose hope over fear. Love over hate. Love? You think Adam could have had that? Why not?

I feel like I've upset you even more. No, it's just a lot to take in. Cyrus, I think I could use my six-minute reboot now. Maybe it'll help me absorb all of this. Sure. I'll be right here, getting my sleeping bag set up. Okay. You'll be back to your old self in no time. Brinley? What are you doing out there? How did you get on the roof? Is she asleep? Well, I mean, she's down for her six minutes. Keep your voice down. Are you sure she's out?

Pretty sure. I need you to be positive. How long has she been down? I don't know, like 30 seconds? What is up with you? Is this about the fight at dinner? It's not me you should be worried about. You should be worried about that over there. Holiday? Yeah, that's not holiday. Oh, here we go. How many times do I have to tell you- That is Adam! And I've got less than six minutes to prove it to you, or else we'll both be dead.
