The Path

Previously, on "The Path"...

The letter... There's a second author.

It doesn't work with someone else.

If there is no Light, then what else is there?

Now I love him.

If the prophecy weren't fulfilled,

and I was happy, would that be enough for you?

Yes, but that's not how things will end.

Who's Lilith? I've never heard of her.

I think, originally, she was a patient of his.

- Of Steve? - Yeah.

She was disturbed.

Are we really opening the center in France?

Leaving in a couple days to consecrate it myself.

Hey... Help! Call someone.

My father is dead, and I don't know

if any of this is real. I don't even know

if The Garden is real.

"Can you believe there's a garden

more beautiful than this?"

You see, The Light, it chose me.

All who decide to follow me

will find their place in The Garden.

I need you to give me back my faith.

Holy shit.

We're not ready for this.

- Jean-Paul. - You must be Vera.

- So lovely to meet you. - Thank you.

You helped me find a way to do a great service.

Oh, well, I think Meyerism gives us all a purpose.

Can't wait for you to meet Eddie Lane.

Eddie, this is Jean-Paul, the man responsible for all this.

Oh, no, no, I'm not responsible.

You made this happen by giving me a reason to endure.

This house was once a place of darkness, and...

I am just so grateful

that now it will be a home of Light.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming from around the world

to explore Meyerism.

We are thrilled to consecrate this site

as the official home of European Meyerism

and to appoint a Guardian

to tend to this corner of the world,

because this is just the beginning.

But first, I think we all could use a nap.

Well, come on in.

Oh, my God. I mean, this is

the most beautiful room I've been in in my entire life.

And it's all French Renaissance.

It... it all... Just the chairs alone, I...

Tell me again exactly what Eddie said.

- I told you a dozen times. - No, once more.

All right, he said, um, he said he wanted me to... Us...

to come to France,

'cause he wanted to thank me for saving his life.

Oh, my God! This is going to be ours.

He's going to appoint you Guardian,

we are going to live in a castle,

and Forest is going to be bilingual.

- -

Hello, Guardian of The European Meyerist Movement.

How does it feel to be in charge of

such a large corner of the world?

Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

No, he has to give it to you.

- He owes you everything. - -

He owes you his life.

How are you feeling?

Um... good.

Tired.

Well, get some rest. You'll need it for tomorrow.

Eddie, I don't think that

I'm in any state of mind to lead a workshop.

Look, sometimes when we're...

grieving, teaching and helping others

is the best thing... Did you read the journals?

- I have. - And?

I mean, if this Lilith wrote "The Ladder" with Steve,

it could mean that Steve never climbed The Ladder.

I mean, they are dated 1973.

Not necessarily, so...

And why doesn't anybody remember her?

My mom, Felicia? It's like she was

kept hidden or erased from memory.

There's gotta be some clue,

something here that's gonna help me find her.

Wait, you xeroxed the journals?

Because finding her is the only way

that we are gonna know this is real.

What about me standing in front of you,

telling you that it's real?

That what I experienced

with Steve, with The Light... is real?

Maybe Steve isn't the man you think he is.

Nobody is, Sarah.

Unless there's something that you're not telling me.

Look, when you asked me to help you believe again,

I looked to The Light, and what I saw...

was Hank.

You know, I thought about the stories he would tell:

coming to France as a young man,

The Gardens of Giverny.

And I knew in my soul

that if I brought you here, you would leave

with your faith intact.

Get some rest.

Hey. - Hey.

It's amazing, isn't it?

Thank you so much, Vera, for finding this place.

You're amazing.

You're welcome, but I didn't find this place.

I mean, I just answered a phone call

from this desperate young man who... loved you

and just wanted to get involved.

Have you thought about who you wanna appoint Guardian?

Still trying to figure it out,

but I am taking your advice

into consideration, like always.

I think if we wanna keep growth on track,

then she's the best person for the job.

I get it.

Hey, Vera,

I was hoping you could help me out with something else.

I was wondering if you could help me find someone.

It's this woman who's come in and out of The Movement

since the very beginning,

but all I have is her first name:

Lilith?

Look, I know, I'm sorry,

it's just Sarah has been looking into her,

and she's hit a bit of a dead end.

Sarah seems to think that she may have

something to do with the formation of The Movement.

Why does she think that?

Well, she found some journals of Steve's,

and some of the passages were written by Lilith.

Have you... Have you seen these journals?

Yeah, I read them, but...

this Lilith person just... sounds a little crazy.

Why do you... Why do you say that?

Ah, it's just something in her language, you know?

She has this obsession with punishments.

Just a darkness. Do you think I could

see these journals?

It might just help me find her.

Yeah.

You know, it's really thrown Sarah, so...

Do you mean thrown her faith in... in Meyerism?

Okay, um... I'll... I'll see what I can do.

All right.

Whoo!

Hey. Arnie Phillips.

I haven't seen you here before.

Um, yeah, it's just my first time.

Who do you know?

Uh... Jesus.

Sorry, that was a... That was a joke.

Um, I'm a friend of Caleb's.

- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.

How do you guys know each other?

Uh, he rents a room at the building where I work.

What building is that?

It's the Meyerist Center.

Just a sec.

Thank you so much.

God bless you.

- Hey. - Hey.

That... that was awesome.

Well, thank you.

I, uh... I was a little nervous, seeing you out there,

but I kept going.

Yeah. Uh...

what are you guys doing now? Are you...

Uh, well, usually, we hit a diner after the show.

Soda, fries. It's a, you know, kinda...

Just good, clean Christian party.

Yeah.

But, you know, maybe... Maybe we could another time...

My mom's in France for a week.

To find The Light, we must lose... ourselves.

We must lose our bodies, our egos.

We must lose consciousness to gain consciousness, and...

Sometimes to find The Light,

we must lose The Light.

What brings you to The Movement?

She says that she's sad all the time.

No joy, - no, how do you say... - - Meaning.

And never a relationship,

only sex from the internet.

Different partners.

No intimacy.

We need to find the original wound,

the emotional... hole.

Help me locate it. Guide my hands.

There, there, there.

Yeah, yeah. I feel it.

I feel the emptiness.

He is so good.

The very best.
