Shining Vale

Previously on Shining Vale...

This is herbal tea.

It comes from the herbs

in my garden.

Dad's afraid of Roxy, and he calls me Button.

"Button"? Good gravy.

Button's right. You aren't normal.

None of you are.

So I'm back to where I started.

You hear voices?

I'm Rosemary.

Did the ghost come back?

No, her name is Ruth.

I'm Nellie.

Then you're miles from where you started.

As your mayor,

this whole town's gonna be reborn.

This is a great speech.

-You are a writer? -My mother is, so I am not.

The devil wrote my book when I was possessed.

You're talking about Satan.

He's interested in overthrowing governments

and disrupting world order, not writing shitty chick lit.

It is Ruth's famous chocolate "mouse."

There is a teeny, tiny risk of pregnancy psychosis.

Quickly now, before Doctor sends you to the baths.

They put a baby in me.

I'll show them what real crazy looks like.

- That's my house. - Her mom came back,

but Daisy says there is one way we can stop her.

I got you a present.

My grandma smuggled that heirloom in her 'einie.

Your baby gives us all hope for a better world.

Hail Pat.

I'm looking for Father Ennio.

Perhaps you're mistaken.

Give me a sign.

Read page 72.

This room is the portal to hell.

No one would believe her.

Everyone thinks she's nuts.

- It's all about... - ...his baby.

- Help! - Hello, Patricia.

You should've killed yourself when you had the chance.

Somebody!

Is anybody there?

Help! I'm stuck in the wall!

Listen to me, Patricia.

You're in grave danger.

No, you listen to me.

Oh... holy shit.

Look, I get that you're upset.

You're gigantic,

and you have a terrible haircut,

but you need to trust me.

I don't trust demons.

I'm not a demon.

It's me, Rosemary.

I'm a victim just like you.

Except I wasn't able to carry a third baby to term.

My youngest, Elijah,

he was a cripple, and he destroyed my womb.

Not now, Elijah!

I don't care about you.

And I don't care about your womb.

And I'm pretty certain you're not allowed to say cripple.

What the hell?

Hell is right.

There's so much darkness in this house,

and it will only get worse,

but there is one way out.

Does it involve killing my family?

Absolutely not.

Does it involve killing myself?

Yes, that's the one.

Thanks. I'll take the stairs.

Patricia, please. You helped me to move on.

Let me do the same for you.

We'll make it look like an accident.

Your family will hear the thud,

and they'll come looking for you.

Otherwise, they have to wait for the smell.

Smell this, bitch.

I bet my family's looking for me right now.

Whoa.

Cool.

Ah!

Mom?

Hi.

-I found Roxy's ball. -Huh.

Can you call Daddy?

Mommy and baby look fine.

- Thank God. - That's so great.

All right, you can use

these tissues to wipe off your belly.

Feels just like high school.

Were you pregnant in high school?

No, Terry.

-I was not. -Mm.

Now, the big news is baby has dropped.

Oh, no.

You don't even know what that means.

It means baby's coming early.

Oh, no.

That's what the cootie catcher said.

I don't know what a cootie catcher is,

but 20 years of delivering babies tells me that

you're probably gonna deliver within the next two weeks.

You don't happen to know which day, do you?

I-I only ask 'cause there's

a special election for mayor on Tuesday.

I would have no way of knowing.

I know, but do you know who you're gonna vote for?

-Terry! -What?

It's a close race.

Now, it's important that baby stays inside of Mommy

for as long as possible, so I'm putting you on bed rest.

I'll give you some sedatives to help.

-I can't do that. -Yeah, she's a total addict.

Really, cokey?

No, I quit coke

once I got hooked on testosterone and HGH.

Mm. Okay.

So I am aware of your history.

That's why I'm giving you a non-narcotic, all right?

Now, she will take one of these every six hours.

Do not let her skip a dose.

Oh, and uh, no lifting heavy appliances.

We need to go now.

Okay, but you heard him. Just take it easy.

-Right fucking now. -Movements.

Wait.

Ow!

She'll be fine.

Phelps helps.

I'm not tired.

Well, you heard Dr. Skapoli.

You need bed rest.

Here's a bed. Here's you.

Rest.

I don't trust Dr. Skapoli.

Did you see his cufflinks?

They are the exact symbol of this necklace

that Ruth's grandmother brought over in her 'einie.

Well, maybe that's a common symbol,

or maybe Ruth's grandmother

brought over other jewelry in her 'einie.

Well, what do you want me to say?

They're monsters, Terry.

I want to get a new doctor,

and I want to move from this hellhole.

You're not getting it.

Well, I'm not upending our entire lives

because you think our neighbor is in a coven.

She's not in a coven.

She's the head of the coven.

Robyn is in the coven.

Oh, now I get it.

Uh-uh, don't patronize me.

You know what? I'll prove it.

Okay, okay, okay. I believe you.

Shh.

It's okay.

I do.

It's just... I want you to be safe.

This election's in a couple of days.

I'll talk to Robyn and--

- What? - No. Not Robyn.

A non-witch real estate agent

and look into selling our house.

-Promise? -I promise.

Now...

take your medicine, all right?

-Pat. -I don't want to.

I'm not leaving till you take it.

Patty.

Patty.

Patty, Patty, Patty.

Ah.

Good girl. Now...

...get some rest.

Hey.

You promise you'll keep Ruth away from me?

They're monsters.

Shh.

Fuck that.

Oh...

Oh, shit.

Sorry, Roxy.

Ruth?

Aw.

Freak.

Lady tea, my balls.

Oh.

Rosemary.

Oh, it's actually rosemary.

What's she doing with a breast pump?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no.
