Transcript

00:00When my mom was a little girl, she heard this wild rumor that she comes from a family of witches.

00:06So naturally, like any sane person, she wanted to get to the bottom of this.

00:11She graduated college with honors and went all in on studying the supernatural in a more scientific way.

00:19And her big takeaway was that the supernatural is real.

00:23We just need the right means to connect with it.

00:25But even though mom became super famous for her groundbreaking work, she still couldn't figure out if our family had any connection to witches.

00:34She was so obsessed with finding the answer that she neglected everything else, which didn't sit well with dad.

00:41They fought all the time, and eventually, he had enough and left.

00:46Soon after, mom realized she was pregnant with me.

00:49So she dropped her research, moved into her childhood home with Aunt Jessie, and became the most devoted mom ever.

00:57But the second I started high school, she drove right back into her witch hunt.

01:02She even had this creepy little office where she kept all the souvenirs from her years of research.

01:08And Aunt Jessie absolutely hated that place.

01:12Oh my god, Kara, who gave you that awful haircut?

01:15Mom did. What's wrong?

01:17Nothing. Except you looked like a shaved squirrel.

01:20She looks fine, Jessie. And why are you in my office anyway? I thought you hated coming here.

01:25I do. It's just that I need some money.

01:27I'm traveling to Bora Bora tomorrow with Jack, and I don't want him to see me as some wannabe leeching off his money.

01:33Who's Jack? I thought you were dating Mark.

01:35Ugh, Mark was such a bore, so I broke up with him.

01:38Now I'm dating Jack. You know he's an entrepreneur, and he owns a yacht?

01:43A yacht! Only one thousandth of a percent of the world population own a yacht.

01:49And Jack is one of them.

01:50Now, if you're done interrogating me, can I have some cash?

01:53Aunt Jessie was mom's twin sister.

01:55But unlike mom, Jessie was a total free spirit.

01:59She drifted from place to place, never held down a steady job,

02:02and dreamed of marrying rich so she'd never have to work.

02:07Mom thought Jessie was a total flake.

02:09And for Jessie, mom was one science experiment away from turning into a mad scientist.

02:14So, obviously, they never got along.

02:17And life went on.

02:19Until one day, everything changed.

02:23Yeah, we say that a lot around here.

02:25Just like we keep asking you to like and subscribe.

02:27So, please go ahead and do that.

02:29But anyway, mom was in her creepy office doing her usual research

02:34when we heard a loud crash.

02:36Jessie and I rushed in to check on her.

02:38And there she was, passed out cold on the floor.

02:42Her research papers were scattered everywhere.

02:45And right in the middle was this weird necklace.

02:48I ran to mom's side while Aunt Jessie called the ambulance.

02:52But when the paramedics arrived, they said she was in a coma.

02:55Mom was rushed to the hospital, but the necklace stayed behind.

02:59I couldn't bring myself to leave it there.

03:02It felt important.

03:03Like it might hold the answers we needed.

03:06So, I took it.

03:07And always kept it close to me.

03:09Oh my god, just toss that ugly thing already.

03:12No way.

03:13This was the last thing mom was researching before she collapsed.

03:16She might need it when she wakes up.

03:18For what?

03:19To wear to some ugly necklace convention?

03:21Kara, you're 18.

03:22Go live your life.

03:24You sulk way too much for a teenager.

03:26And you're way too wild for someone in their 40s.

03:29Don't you care about mom at all?

03:31Aren't you even a little worried if she's ever gonna wake up?

03:33Look, your mom's nuts, okay?

03:35For all we know, this is because she spent too much time chasing ghosts and ancient nonsense.

03:40Now, do me a favor and stop playing detective.

03:43Aunt Jessie grabbed my arm and I wanted to pull away.

03:46But I was too stunned.

03:48Not because of what she did, but because of what I saw.

03:51I had this vision where I saw Jessie in mom's office pulling money out of her locker.

03:57You stole from mom's locker?

03:59What locker?

04:00I didn't steal anything.

04:01But I just saw...

04:03I grabbed Jessie's arm again.

04:05And just like before, I saw her in mom's office stealing money.

04:08I was trying to make sense of what was happening.

04:11When suddenly, my eyes fell on the necklace in my hand.

04:15I kept it down and touched Jessie again.

04:18And nothing.

04:19No visions this time.

04:21Could this necklace actually be showing me something?

04:24Oh no, you've got that look.

04:26The same one your mom got whenever she went on about ghosts or spirits or whatever nonsense she wasted her life chasing.

04:32Jessie kept groaning about something.

04:34But my brain was stuck on the fact that the necklace actually had powers.

04:40Every time I held it, these weird flashes would hit me.

04:43I didn't totally get what they were.

04:46Maybe they were some blurry sneak peeks into the future.

04:50Honestly, with Jessie's track record, seeing her steal from mom felt pretty believable.

04:56But I needed proof that this thing was legit.

04:58So the next day, I wore the necklace to school and like I suspected, every time I bumped into someone, I saw a glimpse of their future.

05:07Like, I accidentally brushed up against Madison, our chair captain, and saw her flipping out in front of everyone.

05:13Sure enough, later that day, she dumped her boyfriend and destroyed his locker.

05:17I also saw Kyle, the class clown, going home alone to his cats, which was kind of sad.

05:25But then, I saw the rude school janitor having a terrible lunch that would keep him in the bathroom all afternoon.

05:31That instantly lifted my spirits.

05:34Oh wow, this is the best day ever!

05:37Whee!

05:38Talking to yourself, Kara?

05:39Is that your secret strategy to beat me on the test?

05:43Hate to break it to you, but it's not gonna work.

05:45Ugh, Ethan.

05:47Of course he had to walk in and ruin my perfect day.

05:50Ethan is in my class, and he's probably the most perfect guy ever.

05:54Rich, popular, a face that looks like it was carved by angels, and of course, perfect grades.

06:00He's got it all.

06:01But here's the kicker.

06:03Ethan's insanely clumsy.

06:05It's almost a talent, how bad he is at holding on to things.

06:09Lunch trays, expensive vases, kittens, you name it, he's probably dropped it.

06:14And yet, somehow, his clumsiness just makes him even more charming to everyone.

06:20Well, everyone, but me.

06:22I just thought it was hilarious how someone so perfect can be such an uncoordinated mess.

06:27Oh my god, Ethan, are you okay?

06:30Did you hurt yourself?

06:31Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

06:33Just slipped a little, no big deal.

06:35Quick, someone get ice!

06:36Call the nurse.

06:37Ethan, how many fingers am I holding up?

06:39Uh, two?

06:39What's so funny?

06:42Oh, nothing.

06:44It's just, isn't this a little dramatic?

06:47He just tripped.

06:48He's not dying.

06:49Just for the record, I could have seriously hurt myself.

06:52What if I hit my head and broke my neck?

06:54Would that be serious enough for you?

06:56Oh my god, you're fine.

06:57You may have a concussion, but that's about it.

07:00And you literally fall every day, Ethan.

07:03Multiple times a day.

07:04And you're walking just fine, aren't you?

07:06Ethan gave me the stink eye.

07:08And since then, he's been in this weird, unspoken competition with me.

07:12He tries to beat me at everything.

07:15Grades, gym class, who gets to the front of the cafeteria line first.

07:19And even though I have no idea why he's doing that, one thing's for sure.

07:23There's no way I'm letting him win.

07:27I'm here.

07:28I'm not late.

07:29Ew, what's that smell?

07:31Did you run here?

07:32Just ask, Kara, and I'll lend you a couple bucks for the bus next time you're late.

07:37At least I can run without tripping over a rock and rolling down the street.

07:41I don't need to run.

07:43I have a car with a private driver.

07:45And thank god for that.

07:47Or god knows how many people you would have run over by now, you clumsy fool.

07:51How dare you?

07:52Ethan lunged at me, but his foot caught on the desk.

07:55And he crashed right into me.

07:57As soon as we touched, I had this crazy vision of Ethan wandering through a forest, moving deeper like he was searching for something.

08:05And then suddenly, he reached the edge of the cliff and fell.

08:08If you keep staring at me like that, you'll fall in love.

08:11Ugh, as if.

08:13Get off me.

08:14And yeah, maybe stay away from cliffs for a while, okay?

08:19What?

08:19Did you not get enough oxygen to your brain while running over here?

08:22Just then the teacher walked in and we rushed back to our seats.

08:26That entire day, I couldn't help keeping an eye on Ethan.

08:29Ethan, even though he was a jerk, I didn't want him falling off a cliff because of some mysterious entity.

08:35That would break too many hearts at school.

08:38So later, when I saw him walking toward the woods behind the school, I decided to follow him, but he'd already walked in deeper.

08:45I kept walking straight, trying to stay optimistic.

08:48When I finally saw Ethan moving towards the cliff in a trance-like state.

08:53Ethan, stop!

08:55No response.

08:56I screamed for him again, but when he didn't stop, I ran towards him and pulled his arm, snapping him back to reality.

09:03Kara?

09:05What?

09:06Where am I?

09:06You walked into the jungle.

09:08You don't remember?

09:09No, I remember being at football practice and now I'm just here?

09:14How did I even get here?

09:16And wait, how'd you know where to find me?

09:17Were you following me?

09:19You were, weren't you?

09:21Why?

09:22Did one of my dad's enemies send you to keep an eye on me?

09:24Tell me!

09:25For a second, I panicked.

09:27Ethan's dad was a senator, and me showing up out of nowhere was definitely weird.

09:32Especially because we didn't get along.

09:34I could understand why he'd be paranoid.

09:37So I had no choice but to tell him the whole truth.

09:39So you're telling me this necklace gives you the power to look into the future?

09:44Yeah.

09:45And I know it sounds super made up,

09:46but I swear to God, it's true.

09:48And if you don't believe me...

09:49No, I actually believe you.

09:51With all the weird stuff going on in my life right now,

09:54a magic necklace honestly feels pretty normal.

09:56That's when Ethan told me that for the past few months,

09:59he was being haunted by a ghost.

10:01It showed up out of nowhere,

10:03and ever since then,

10:04his life had been a mess.

10:06I was always clumsy,

10:08but lately it's been getting worse.

10:10I wake up doing the weirdest stuff,

10:13like wrecking my mom's rose garden,

10:15or doodling all over some portrait of my great-grandfather.

10:18And I don't even remember doing it.

10:19But how are you so sure a ghost has something to do with this?

10:23Because I've seen it.

10:25Sometimes late at night,

10:26I'll catch a shadowy figure in the mirror,

10:28or feel like someone's standing right behind me.

10:30Plus, we moved into this house only six months ago,

10:34and my parents were warned it might be haunted.

10:36But the house belonged to my great-grandfather,

10:38and Dad was obsessed with renovating it

10:40and moving in as soon as possible.

10:43And now I'm haunted by this stupid ghost

10:45who probably wants me dead.

10:47I stared at him,

10:48trying to process what he'd just said.

10:50A ghost was making Ethan clumsy and dangerous?

10:54It sounded ridiculous.

10:56But then again,

10:57I was wearing a necklace that could show me the future.

11:00So maybe this wasn't totally ridiculous.

11:03You think I'm an idiot?

11:05Yes, but that's beside the point.

11:07Seems like this ghost has some serious beef with you,

11:10and we need to make sure it doesn't totally wreck your life.

11:14Follow me.

11:15Ethan watched me suspiciously,

11:17but followed me anyway.

11:18And I took him home.

11:20I led him to Mom's office,

11:21dug through some of her stuff,

11:23and pulled out a protective talisman.

11:25This should keep you safe for a while.

11:27Although the ghost might still mess with your mind,

11:29it won't be able to harm you...

11:31fatally.

11:32Gee, thanks.

11:33That's reassuring.

11:34But how do you even know this stuff works?

11:37My mom was a researcher of the supernatural.

11:39I picked up a thing or two growing up in this chaos.

11:42That is, until she got sick.

11:45But I'm sure she'll be fine in no time.

11:47And this time when she's back,

11:48I'm not letting her out of my sight for even one second.

11:52At least you have that hope.

11:53I live in the same house as my parents,

11:55and I barely see them.

11:57Last month, when I kept waking up in random places around the house,

12:01my dad just hired a sleep specialist.

12:03Then a psychiatrist.

12:04Then a guard to lock my door at night.

12:07Not once did he ask me what was actually wrong.

12:10Just threw money at it until it looked fixed,

12:12and I didn't cause any drama.

12:13That sounds rough.

12:15But I guess we all have our battles.

12:17I guess we do.

12:18Since then, Ethan and I were practically inseparable.

12:23Honestly, it wasn't by choice.

12:25Ethan was convinced he couldn't survive without me.

12:29And to be fair, he wasn't entirely wrong.

12:32At first, the things I saw ahead of time were small.

12:35Like stopping him from burning his tongue on hot cocoa

12:38or mixing up sugar and salt.

12:40But as the week went on,

12:42things got way more intense.

12:45First, I saved him from falling into the fountain

12:48in the school courtyard.

12:49Then it was dodging a soccer ball

12:51that almost slammed into his face.

12:53But things got really serious during science class

12:56when he nearly mixed two dangerous chemicals together.

12:59And I had to jump out of my seat to stop him.

13:02It looks like every time I stop you from a disaster,

13:05the ghost just gets angrier

13:07and pushes you into an even bigger one.

13:09We need to stop this.

13:11Did you sprinkle salt along the floor

13:13right up against the walls of your room

13:15like I asked you to?

13:16That's the only way to keep the ghost out of your room.

13:18Of course I did.

13:19But the cleaning staff always sweeps it up

13:21and complains to my parents about the mess.

13:24They think I've lost my mind.

13:25Then ask one of your bodyguards

13:27to watch over you at night.

13:28You've got plenty of those, don't you?

13:29What am I, five?

13:30My parents would think it's weird.

13:32You have to come up with a better solution.

13:34Like what?

13:35I can't watch you 24-7, Ethan.

13:38There's got to be another way.

13:39I have an idea.

13:40Ethan's brilliant idea was to sneak me

13:43into his massive walk-in closet overnight

13:45without anyone noticing.

13:47But why can't I just come in through the front door

13:49like a normal person?

13:51I mean, you're kind of popular.

13:53Don't you have friends coming over all the time?

13:55You mean those kids I hang with at school?

13:57They're only around because my dad's loaded.

13:59None of them are real friends.

14:01And even if they were,

14:02my dad's way too paranoid to let anyone in

14:04without running them through a hundred security checks.

14:07Seriously, sneaking in is just easier.

14:09And way more claustrophobic.

14:11You'll survive.

14:12But it was tougher than it looked.

14:14Ethan's place was like a fortress.

14:17Big, sprawling gardens.

14:19Guards crawling everywhere with dogs

14:21that would rip you apart.

14:22Even his closet was bigger than my room.

14:25So I slept in and waited for Ethan

14:27while his guards patrolled the house.

14:29But with the blackout,

14:30the air felt heavy

14:31and I started to feel dizzy.

14:34Before I knew it,

14:35everything went dark

14:36and I passed out.

14:37When I opened my eyes,

14:39I wasn't in the closet anymore.

14:41Instead,

14:42I was standing in a dimly lit hallway

14:44with creaky wooden floors

14:46and walls lined with old paintings.

14:48Finally awake, sleeping beauty?

14:51I spun around to see a girl my age

14:52dressed like she had just walked out

14:54of a 19th century drama.

14:56What is this?

14:57Where am I?

14:58Who are you?

14:59Slow down, woman.

15:00One question at a time.

15:02You're having a dream

15:03and I'm the ghost of this gorgeous house.

15:07You're the one haunting Ethan?

15:09Haunting is such a dramatic word.

15:11Let's just say I'm

15:13invested in his miserable little life.

15:16Why?

15:17Because I enjoy tormenting pretty boys.

15:21In life,

15:21I scarcely had the time

15:23for such amusements.

15:24But now,

15:25as a ghost,

15:26I can slip in and out

15:28of their lives as I please.

15:29It's one of the few pleasures

15:32I have left.

15:33Now,

15:34if you're done pestering me

15:35with questions,

15:37there's something important

15:38I need to show you.

15:39She led me down

15:40a narrow staircase

15:41and finally stopped

15:42in a weird cave

15:44that looked like

15:44it was centuries old.

15:46The walls were all stone

15:47and on them

15:48were strange

15:50looping symbols

15:51repeated over and over

15:52in neat rows.

15:53I was trying to make sense

15:55of what they meant

15:55when the ghost gestured

15:57towards the end of the cave

15:58to a red door.

16:00If you want answers,

16:02just walk through that door.

16:04What's behind it?

16:05The truth.

16:06You're really enjoying this,

16:08aren't you?

16:09Oh, immensely.

16:10Now do as I say.

16:11You don't have much time.

16:12I took a deep breath

16:13and walked over to the door.

16:15But just as I was about

16:16to turn the knob,

16:18I heard a scream

16:19coming from the end of the cave.

16:20I got so spooked,

16:22I immediately recoiled and fell.

16:24My head hit the ground

16:25and I don't remember

16:26what happened next.

16:27Except I woke up

16:28staring at the ceiling

16:29in Ethan's living room.

16:31I slowly got up,

16:33trying to make sense

16:34of what happened

16:34when I saw Ethan

16:36holding a lighter

16:36standing inches away

16:38from the curtains.

16:39Without thinking,

16:40I lunged forward

16:41and snatched the lighter

16:42out of his hand

16:43when suddenly

16:44Ethan's parents walked in.

16:46Who are you

16:46and what are you doing

16:47in my house?

16:48Dad, she's...

16:49I'm not asking you, Ethan.

16:51You go to your room.

16:52But Dad...

16:53I said leave!

16:54Ethan's mom took his hand

16:56and took him to his room

16:57while I just stood

16:58in the living room,

16:59motionless.

17:00As for you, girl,

17:01you broke into my house

17:02and judging by that lighter

17:03in your hand,

17:04I'd say your intention

17:05was to set something on fire.

17:07Some rival sent you

17:08to sabotage me

17:09so I stepped down

17:10from my mayor campaign?

17:12What?

17:12No!

17:13I wasn't trying

17:14to burn anything.

17:15I was helping Ethan.

17:16Ask him!

17:17I don't have to ask him anything.

17:18My son would never be friends

17:20with someone like you.

17:22Excuse me, sir,

17:23but you're crossing a line here.

17:25I agree,

17:26this whole thing

17:27looks suspicious,

17:28but I'm telling you the truth.

17:30You can call my aunt.

17:31She can vouch for me.

17:32Oh, I'm sure you have

17:33some accomplice

17:34ready to cover for you.

17:36Enough of this nonsense.

17:37You're not fooling me.

17:38Before I could argue

17:39any further,

17:40his dad pulled out his phone

17:41and called the police.

17:43And an hour later,

17:44I was sitting

17:45in the police station

17:46feeling like

17:47the unluckiest person

17:49in the world.

17:50I was just about

17:51to lose my mind

17:52when Jesse burst

17:53through the doors

17:54and dragged me home.

17:55Of all the stupid,

17:57reckless,

17:57irresponsible things

17:58you could have done,

17:59Kara,

17:59you broke into

18:00someone's house?

18:01I didn't.

18:02Ethan called me there.

18:04He's my friend.

18:05So you're telling me

18:06you have rich friends

18:07like that guy Ethan

18:08and you never told me?

18:09How could you do that?

18:11The least you should have done

18:12was to introduce me

18:13to his father.

18:13For the love of God,

18:15Jesse,

18:15his dad's married.

18:17Where are your morals?

18:18Who needs morals

18:19when you can be rich?

18:21And his dad's

18:21a politician, right?

18:22Everyone knows

18:23politicians are always

18:24looking for trophy wives.

18:25I'm sure I'd fit right in.

18:27Now do me a favor

18:28and arrange a meeting.

18:29I will do no such thing,

18:30you freak.

18:31What?

18:32I'll talk to him after break.

18:33Tomorrow at school.

18:35I didn't.

18:36Because Ethan

18:36didn't turn up

18:37at school the next day.

18:39Which kind of

18:40had me worried.

18:41I even called him,

18:42but he didn't answer.

18:43So I thought he was

18:44just ignoring me

18:45after what happened

18:46with his dad last night.

18:47But then,

18:48something in my heart

18:49told me things

18:51weren't right.

18:52So I decided

18:53to pay him a visit.

18:54I was outside his mansion

18:55when suddenly

18:56I started hearing voices.

18:58I walked in

18:59and froze.

19:01Ethan was standing

19:02on the edge of the roof,

19:03swaying like a leaf

19:04in the wind.

19:05His parents

19:06were shouting up at him.

19:07Guards were barking

19:08into their walkie-talkies.

19:09But no one

19:10was making a move

19:11to save him.

19:12Ethan, sweetie,

19:13please wake up.

19:14But Ethan

19:15didn't move.

19:16It was clear

19:17he wasn't himself.

19:18And if someone

19:19startled him

19:20or rushed up there,

19:21it might only

19:22push him to jump.

19:23I had to get to him

19:24somehow.

19:25So with everyone

19:26distracted,

19:27I slipped into the mansion

19:28and dashed upstairs

19:29to the rooftop.

19:31Ethan?

19:32Ethan,

19:32it's me.

19:33Kara.

19:34I know

19:34you can hear me.

19:36You're not alone.

19:37I'm here, okay?

19:39Just focus on my voice.

19:41Ethan tilted his head

19:42slightly,

19:43like he was trying

19:43to place the sound.

19:45You're stronger than this.

19:47Whatever's got a hold

19:48on you,

19:49it doesn't control you.

19:51You're Ethan,

19:52the guy who trips

19:53over air

19:54and somehow

19:55still looks cool

19:56doing it.

19:57You're not a puppet.

19:59Fight it!

20:00For a moment,

20:01nothing happened.

20:02Then slowly,

20:04he turned his head

20:04to look at me.

20:06Kara?

20:06It's me.

20:07I've got you.

20:08I won't let go.

20:09I promise.

20:10Finally,

20:11he reached out

20:12and the moment

20:13our hands touched,

20:14I yanked him away

20:15from the edge

20:15with all my strength.

20:17But I fell,

20:18hit my head

20:19and blacked out.

20:29And when I woke up,

20:30I was in Ethan's room.

20:32What happened?

20:33You hit your head.

20:35Kara,

20:35I don't know

20:36how to thank you.

20:37If you hadn't come,

20:38I don't think

20:39I'd still be here.

20:40Good thing I showed up then.

20:41There's also something else

20:42you should know.

20:43Ethan reached into his pocket

20:45and pulled out my necklace.

20:47The chain was snapped

20:48and the strange pendant

20:49was cracked

20:50right down the middle.

20:51I found it next to you

20:52after you fell.

20:53Oh no!

20:54It was the one thing

20:55that still connected me

20:57to my mom.

20:57I'm so sorry,

20:58Kara.

20:59I'm sorry that I

21:00dragged you into this mess.

21:02It wasn't your battle

21:02to fight.

21:04In fact,

21:04there's something

21:05you should know.

21:06And Ethan told me

21:07that he wasn't actually possessed,

21:09but had a rare

21:10psychological disorder

21:11that caused blackouts

21:12and hallucinations.

21:14It started when he was a kid,

21:16but it went away.

21:17We thought it was fine

21:18until these past few months.

21:19He started having these

21:21episodes.

21:22His dad's political campaign,

21:24the pressure,

21:25moving into this old place

21:26with all its creepy stories.

21:28It must have triggered it again.

21:30And we tried to keep him safe,

21:32secured the entire place,

21:34but we failed.

21:36My parents didn't tell me this

21:37because they thought

21:37I might freak out

21:38and maybe the condition

21:39will worsen.

21:40But what's worse

21:41than jumping off a roof?

21:43Sorry.

21:44Bad time to joke.

21:45But the bottom line is

21:46that I'm truly sorry

21:48for everything

21:48I've put you through.

21:49And I'd really love it

21:51if we could be friends.

21:52Ethan was still talking

21:54when my phone buzzed.

21:55It was Aunt Jessie.

21:56And she told me

21:57that Mom was finally awake.

21:59I told Ethan

22:00and he immediately offered

22:01to take me to the hospital.

22:03As soon as we reached

22:04the hospital,

22:05I rushed into Mom's room

22:06and held her tight.

22:07Oh, thank God.

22:09I was so scared

22:10I'd never get to see you again.

22:11Oh, my sweet girl.

22:13I missed you too.

22:14And I've got to say this.

22:15You've been so brave.

22:17But Mom,

22:18I messed up.

22:19I broke the necklace.

22:21Well, you kind of

22:21did me a favor there.

22:23Mom's eyes drifted

22:24to the broken necklace

22:25and she told me

22:26that it wasn't just

22:27some souvenir,

22:29but an ancient relic

22:30designed to imprison souls.

22:32I studied it

22:33thinking it would confirm

22:34our family's history

22:35with witchcraft.

22:36I thought if I could

22:36connect my spirit to it,

22:38I'd gain the wisdom

22:39I'd been seeking.

22:40Instead,

22:41the necklace trapped me.

22:42My body stayed here

22:43in a coma,

22:44but my spirit

22:44was locked inside.

22:45But when it broke,

22:47it lost its hold.

22:48My soul was released

22:49and returned to my body.

22:51So,

22:52you were in this necklace

22:53all this time?

22:54In a way,

22:55yes.

22:56I've been watching you.

22:58And you've been so brave,

22:59Kara.

23:00Although I got a bit freaked out

23:01when I saw you

23:02walking towards that red door.

23:03Wait,

23:04you know about the red door?

23:06How?

23:07I never told anyone

23:08about that vision.

23:09I know because I was there.

23:10That scream you heard

23:11was mine.

23:12And it wasn't a vision,

23:13Kara.

23:14The necklace was messing

23:15with your head.

23:16It feeds off your fears

23:17and uncertainties.

23:18And when it sensed

23:19your confusion

23:19about Ethan's haunting,

23:21it created the image

23:22of a ghost

23:22to prey on your emotions.

23:24It was all a trick

23:25to get you to walk

23:26through that red door

23:27willingly.

23:28And if you had,

23:30you'd be trapped

23:30just like I was.

23:32So,

23:32you mean everything

23:34I saw in my visions

23:35was my imagination?

23:37But what about

23:38the stuff that came true?

23:39The necklace

23:40has this strange power

23:41of showing you

23:41bits and pieces

23:42of the future,

23:43but never the full picture.

23:45It keeps you curious,

23:46making you rely on it

23:47to guide you.

23:49That's how it earns

23:49your trust

23:50and manipulates you.

23:51I think I'm gonna

23:52lose my mind.

23:53No, you won't,

23:54because I will never

23:55let this happen again.

23:56I'm done with

23:57these studies, Kara.

23:58I lost sight

23:59of what matters

24:00and nearly lost everything.

24:02I think I want to

24:03focus on my family again.

24:05I'd love that too, Mom.

24:06Great!

24:07Now that you're both reunited,

24:09maybe we can talk

24:09about my Bora Bora trip?

24:11No?

24:13Fine,

24:14I'll just sit here quietly.

24:16We all laughed,

24:18and it felt like

24:18a new chapter had begun.

24:21The necklace was gone,

24:25Mom was awake,

24:26and back with me.

24:30And as for Ethan...

24:32Well, he's still clumsy as ever.

24:36But at least he's taking therapy

24:38so he won't roll off

24:39another building

24:40and blame it on a ghost.
