My roommate. Roomie? Cohab? Bunky? Flatmate? Hold, please. Saibot, have I ever met this girl? Not to my knowledge. Okay, just checking. Listen, Gaslight. Remy. Don't care. I've never seen you before in my life. And much as I hate to say it, Casey is my roommate. So if you or anyone else think you can convince me that Casey's not real, then- I didn't say she didn't exist. I'm just saying this Casey is not your roommate anymore. I am.

How is that possible? I was just with her. She said she'd see me back at the room. I don't know. Guess she changed her mind. Hence me. Remy. Thank you, little robot. You're very welcome. I like her better. Did Casey put you up to this? Is this some new way of messing with me? Why would I want to mess with my new roomie? I have so many great ideas about what we can do to spruce up this room. Ugh, I gotta get out of here before I go completely insane.

Don't think we're allowed to leave. Hey, have you ever thought about making a podcast?

Come on, Brinley. Why can't I get through? It's 2023. Who leaves voicemail? You're still trying to reach Brinley? Bruh, give it up. I can't. And what's with the bruhs? I don't know. What's with you lying to us about Florida? I'm not lying. I already told you. I was... Yeah, yeah. Electromagneto-whatever-whatever. I know you were really trying to find Brindley's mom. Shh. How do you know about that?

Wait, did you? You went through my lab, didn't you? No, Rip Van Winkle. I did not go through your lab. Okay, I did, but that's not how I know. You had the woman's name in your hand when you got here. And then I walked in on Brynley talking to her on that weird E.T. phone home thing. Wait, Brynley spoke to her mom. I mean, sort of, but... Hand me my laptop. Come on, I didn't enjoy the bossiness, though. Here you go.

Where are you? Where is who? Cyrus, as the owner of Holiday Corp, I demand you tell me what's going on. Okay, okay, look, I wasn't lying about the electromagnetic waves. There was an anomaly off the coast of Florida. I created a device to tap into it using some of Dr. Whittier's old equipment. Don't care about the how, just give me the what. One day, I heard a voice come through the device. Brinley's mom? Cadence Cavendish.

What about Brinley's mom? Did you find her? Okay, well, now everybody knows. Bruh. Stop saying that. Where has she been all these years? Not sure. So? What did she say? She said she didn't mean to abandon Brinley, that she was taken away from her and her family, and that she wanted Brinley to stay safe. Taken away by who? And safe from what?

Cadence said Brinley would be safe, as long as she never set foot at Elixir Academy. Elixir Academy? You've heard of it? Brinley got an acceptance letter from them, right after you were brought in. But that's not where she went. She went to New York. Well... Well what? After your call got disconnected, Badger and I tried to track Brindley down in New York. Guess who never made it to her first week of classes? Oh no.

Let's start from the top. Did you come here on Kazu's boat? And was Casey here when you did? Such good questions. Uh, let's see. I don't know who that is, and I think nope. What do you mean, you think? Brinley? Hey, Brin. Jude, Penn, I am so glad you are here. You are? Even me? Yes, Penn. Even you. What's going on? This is Remy. Hello there.

Hi, Remy. Jude and Penn. Got it. Okay, now that that is out of the way, Remy says she's my new roommate. Because I am. Okay? Okay? Okay? How is that possible? In the middle of a lockdown? To magically make my old roommate disappear and replace her with this rando? How do you know you're not the rando? Dude, can you explain? Well, how do I put this? This happens here.

This happens here? Why? Brinley, I think it's better if... Yeah, yeah, it's better if you don't ask questions. I've heard it before, Bob. Look, I can see I've come at a bad time, but maybe I can help. I'm good at this sort of thing. I think. Hey, new girl, can you bring your joy level down to like a two right now? Read the room. I am reading it, and it seems very serious. Oh, look.

Penn, your mom runs the place. Whoa. And dude, you're like the head whatever, so maybe you don't want to ask questions, but I do, and I have a ton of them. Ooh, this is like a big mystery. I love mysteries. Again, I think. Remy, close the app hole. I believe they're covering up the real reason for this lockdown. Penn, that room in the tower with all the footage. What about it? It's where the island's security system is, right? The beach, the water.

Not exactly. What do you mean? That's where the security footage is stored. But there's an actual system that protects the island. Obvi. Kinda obsessed with how you shorten words like that. Does it work for anything? Jude? It isn't in the tower. Where is it? When there's trouble, they go to the basement. The same basement where... Yeah. The last place we saw your boyfriend, Cyrus, going before he was found. Nearly dead. Ooh, that is too...

Totes mystere. Hey, I did it! Remi, please! Let's go. Who's with me? Are you certain you want to do this, Brittany? Yes. I came here looking for answers about Cyrus. Maybe the one place I should have looked... It's the one place I've been avoiding this whole time. All right. I'll see to it that Dr. Solstice is occupied and then meet you down there. To the basement. To the basement. To the basement.

To the base! Okay, that one didn't work. Cyrus, what is the deal with the Elixir Academy? I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it's connected to whatever put me in this bed. The electromagnetohuha. Uh-huh. There are pockets of heavy electromagnetic activity all over the planet, and they don't put people in comas. Bruce.

Dr. Whittier was researching it too. What? I discovered it in his old journals we found at Thornton Rust. It's part of the reason he hid out their easy commute to the Everglades. Did he figure out what it was? Not that I could see. And based on the dates he logged, my guess is this is right around the time his daughter got sick. Adelaide. Adelaide. So he got distracted, and then after he focused on... other projects. Like Badger and Bruce?

Oh, always love being referred to as a project. Sorry. So you're saying what? Someone comes along and builds a school on top of this... anomaly? That's the word, right? Yep. Nailed it. Nice. So, it's a school no one has ever heard of where kids get found in comas? And now we think Brinley's there? She's definitely there. Brucie, you ready for a little hoverboard adventure? Maybe I should sit this one out.

Bruh. Now you've got Badger saying it? Shh. I'm a trendsetter. Bruce, I know you're worried about the whole old school mission of it all, but she needs us. I'd come along, but- No way. Not again. This is a robots-only mission. Right, Bruce? What do you say? Bruh? Fine. Okay, Mr. Board. We've got a long trip ahead of us. Bruce, are you ever going to name your hoverboard? He's just fine. Thanks. You can do this. I know you can.

Should we be worried? Badger and Broussard superpowered, almost indestructible androids. Sigh. Should we be worried? Brindley's mom, she sounded scared. Really scared. That's a yes. I know you think this is a bad idea, so if you want me to take the lead... Let's just get our sister. Whatever it takes.
