The OA

- (FAINT SCREAMING) - (GLASS SHATTERING)

- (BULLET FIRES) - (CRIES OUT, GASPING)

- What? What is it? - (SHUSHING)

Stay here with your cell phone.

Everything's okay.

Was it one of those dreams?

I'll fix you some hot tea.

Are you mad at me?

Mad at you?

For what?

For running away.

I thought you'd understand the note.

I... thought I'd be back in a few days.

I... (SIGHS HEAVILY)

I forgot about the note.

They're not like other dreams, the premonitions.

I wake up from them with these nosebleeds.

I've had them since I was a little girl.

And I know... I know that it sounds nuts,

but I feel that something terrible is coming

and-and if I can just solve the puzzle of the premonition on time

maybe I can... stop it from happening.

Do you think I'm crazy?

Where-Where did the dream take place?

It's a big space. The ceilings are really high.

There's... a lot of glass.

Kind of like the space we're in now?

No, the light's different and...

there's a... clanking sound.

Like a metallic... like silverware.

Mmm-hmm.

Uh, the moment that I catch it, it just disappears.

That's okay. Sometimes it's best not to push.

But I need to know.

These, uh...

These dreams occur at important junctures in your life.

You're gonna say that it's anxiety or stress or...

No, no, no. Nothing so reductive.

I'm just wondering if your subconscious is trying to help you out.

You're a small child, about to realize your all-powerful father is in danger.

Then you're 21, officially an adult.

It seems these are junctures...

- But the bus dream did come true. - Sure.

But what if psychic just means your mind is able to pick up

on even the subtlest cues in the world around you?

I don't understand.

You're gathering information the whole time.

You don't realize it, but you are.

I mean, even as a little girl.

So...

maybe your mind is picking up on all these cues,

and using these dreams to process them.

So, it's the mission.

I'm trying to prepare myself for the mission.

Could be.

Or...

maybe... (SOFT CHUCKLE)

You're talking to these boys.

You're talking to me.

Your parents are giving you space to heal.

It's another juncture.

I think so.

The first time, I ignored the instinct.

I had the premonition, but I didn't connect it to the bus.

I was too young to understand.

The second time, I thought I solved the puzzle.

I got all the way to New York City and my father wasn't there.

I... I got it wrong.

Now, I'm having this new dream.

I don't understand what it is, I don't know what it means,

and I don't know what to do.

Maybe this time just accept it.

Whatever happens, just claim it.

I can't.

- I feel like the pain is just too big. - Hey.

Hey, you know why we, uh... why we like to be hugged?

The way I see it, it sets a limit on the pain.

You know? Puts a perimeter around it.

How big can the pain be, really?

Accept it?

- (CHUCKLES) - This is where I am now.

I wonder if he's getting anywhere with her.

It's been over an hour.

It's a nice place.

You've never seen it?

I usually drop her in the... the parking lot by the café.

Well, you should walk her in.

Yes, dear.

Poor henpecked Abel.

Did Prairie leave a note?

When she disappeared, was there any note?

A note?

No. What...?

They're coming.

Good to see you again, Mr. Johnson.

You must be Mrs. Johnson. Elias Rahim, nice to meet you.

I suppose you know all about us.

Oh, we're just getting started.

Can we have a private word?

I'm not sure that would be such a good idea,

but if it's okay with you, we can all just talk now?

- Oh, yeah. - Yeah?

I'm sure you heard what happened last night.

No, what happened?

Prairie woke up screaming.

She's had these night terrors ever since she was a girl.

Her nose bleeds and, um... it's quite terrifying for her.

Our family doctor, years ago, prescribed medication...

It didn't work.

- It helped a little. Can I stop you for a moment?

I'm not a pharmacologist or doctor of any kind.

I'm just a listener. I'm here to...

help with the transition as a victim specialist.

Um... you guys are victims too.

I mean, you've suffered tremendously.

Just making it through the day right now, it's a huge achievement for all of you.

If I could suggest,

it might be nice for you guys to do something together.

Something you might do if she were home from school or back after a long trip.

Something to help normalize your family life.

Thank you for that... for that advice.

Maybe we'll try that.

Take care.

All the best. See you tomorrow, OA.

Why stick around here when you don't have to?

Got my projects.

Oh, yeah? Like what?

I'm into parkour.

- You like computers? - (CHUCKLES)

- You know, as a thing. - "As a thing"?

For a job and shit. You know.

Guaranteed to make bank. Always gonna be computers.

Yeah... same, you know.

Stunts and shit. Maybe a personal trainer.

Always gonna be movies and TV.

People wanna look good naked.

Right.

Not bad for a couple of the dumb kids.

Yo, can I see?

Okay, whatever.

Here at the Alternative School,

you can pick your subjects and work at your own pace.

Pretty neat. Shall we get started?

Fuck me in the butt. Fuck me in the butt.

Fuck me in the butt. Fuck me in the butt.

Great job!

Click the button at the bottom of the page to see how you did.

I like your laugh.

If I laugh again, 'cause that's so fucking corny,

do I get another kiss?

Let me see some more of your shit first.

Are you gonna dump pig's blood on my head at prom?

Not unless you think that's hot.

You remember that STD assembly Gilchrist did last fall?

Hey, yo, wait up!

Hey, Steve. Sorry I'm late.

You're not late. We haven't even gotten to the house yet.

Right.

Yo, where'd you get that protein bar? I'm starving.

You know that feeling in winter, when you can, like, always eat something?

Is that 'cause, like, eating creates warmth?

Uh, I got it from French.

That was my last one.

- Oh, that's cool, I'm good. - I can split it with you, if you want.

- (SIGHS) Thanks, Buck. - Oh. God.

Okay.

Oh. My bad. - (OA LAUGHS) Come on.

Hey, BBA!

Oh, thank you. Come on!

You're the best.

Were you just tickled or something?

- (STEVE CHUCKLING) What? Were you just tickled?

Yeah, or, like, force-fed a bunch of candy?

Steve was just with a girl.

Jesse, shut up.

Is it Kathy with a K? I like her.

Oh, which one's Kathy with a K? Is she a senior?

No, she's a junior.

She's cute. Has kind of a baby nose.

A baby nose? Is that a thing?

I hate all of you.

Steve, you wanna start us off?

You wanna take us through the second movement?

Homer's movement?

Uh...

Has everyone stretched a little?

All right, everybody take a deep breath in...

...and then go and fuck yourselves.

- (CHUCKLES) All right, uh...

Homer's movement, the second, but really slow to start.
