Andrea
We GOTTA call the police.
Emily
Derek will know it was me who told.
Emily
Derek and Sasha are the only other people with phones except for me.
Emily
Besides, we weren't at the lake with him and Celia.
Emily
He told everyone it was an accident.
Emily
The Order will vouch for him. They believe him.
Emily
And I can't prove it wasn't an accident.
Emily
We gotta get more evidence against him before we talk to the cops.
Andrea
What if Derek hurts her, too?!
Emily
I'm keeping an eye on Kate.
Emily
She's the only reason I'm not running for the hills.
Emily
She needs our help.
Emily
There's not much I can do about Celia now.
Emily
But I think she kept a diary during her vow of silence.
Andrea
Are you gonna read it?
Emily
If I can find it in her stuff, yeah.
Emily
It might give us more clues about Derek.
Andrea
Does Sasha believe him?
Andrea
About Celia being an accident?
Emily
I think she's all Regina now. Sasha's gone.
Andrea
How could Derek totally change her like that?
Andrea
She was my friend.
Emily
It's almost lights out.
Andrea
OK. Please keep Kate safe.
Andrea
And come home soon, roomie.
Emily
Sorry. I had to sneak to the bathroom again.
Emily
I got another note from Kate.
Emily
We have a BIG problem.
Andrea
Why? What'd she say?
Emily
Her next test is The Confession, remember?
Emily
When she breaks her vow of silence.
Emily
She feels guilty for talking to me. For breaking her vow.
Emily
She said she can't write me any more notes.
Andrea
OK. We'll find another way to get more information about The Order.
Emily
She feels guilty about it, Andrea.
Emily
For talking to me after she left the cell.
Emily
For writing me notes.
Andrea
Yeah, you said all that.
Emily
She wants to confess about it.
Emily
Tell the entire Order she talked to me.
Andrea
If she confesses, they'll know you've been digging around.
Andrea
Derek will get suspicious of you.
Andrea
You can't let Kate confess.
Emily
I know. I gotta figure out how to keep her quiet.
Emily
I don't want Derek to get upset with me.
Andrea
You told me Kate thought she'd look good to Derek if she helped you join The Order, right?
Andrea
Well, write her one more note saying that, because of her, you've decided to join.
Andrea
Tell her you are officially signing up for The Breaking, so she knows you're serious about it.
Emily
That could actually work.
Emily
She might not feel guilty if she thinks her notes helped recruit me.
Emily
OK. I'll write her one more note.
Emily
I'll tell her that her dedication won me over and I told Derek I wanna join because of her.
Emily
She'll like that a lot.
Andrea
Let me know what happens. Be careful.
3 hours and 43 minutes later.
Emily
I think Derek has been going through my stuff.
Andrea
Huh? How do you know?
Emily
Because my Prada purse is like part of my body.
Emily
I keep it organized and I know when people have gone through my bag.
Emily
Like, the lip gloss is lined up in the pockets by color, but there's a pink tube in the red section now.
Andrea
What the hell are you talking about, Emily?
Emily
Derek went through my things!
Emily
I think he's looking for my phone.
Andrea
Why do you think that?
Emily
Because I had the charger rolled up and tucked into a zipped pocket.
Emily
He must know I'm still using the phone even though he hasn't seen me with it out.
Emily
Luckily, I had it in my bra at the time he searched.
Emily
I needed somewhere Derek wouldn't look.
Andrea
He wouldn't look there?
Emily
NO. Don't tease me. Now's not the time.
Emily
He won't grope me. Not here.
Emily
But he does seem suspicious of me sneaking off.
Emily
I'm getting more and more worried.
Andrea
Did you tell him you wanna do The Breaking?
Emily
But I hope it's enough to convince him.
Emily
I've got about 68% battery left on my cell.
Emily
I gotta conserve it carefully.
Andrea
OK. Did you give the note to Kate?
Emily
Yeah. But I haven't heard anything back yet.
Emily
I'll keep you posted.
Emily
Oh, I know about the Fox Tooth thing.
Emily
The Fox is supposed to be clever and cunning.
Emily
Resourceful, intelligent, all that stuff.
Emily
The Order wears the tooth around their neck like a totem or something.
Emily
I guess they think it'll give them power to get through the End Times.
Andrea
This is freaking insane.
Andrea
I feel so useless sitting here on campus.
Andrea
I should be there, too!
Andrea
Can't you tell me something about where the house is?
Emily
I wasn't really paying attention when we drove here.
Emily
It's out in the woods.
Emily
That's gonna drain my battery.
Emily
Besides, what are you gonna do if you find the house?
Andrea
Please, Em. I need to be there for Kate.
Andrea
I'll help somehow.
Andrea
Give me a general idea of where you are.
Emily
Looks like we are in the middle of nowhere.
Emily
It doesn't register on the GPS with an actual address.
Emily
But the map seems to show we're in the woods between the Hixson River and Old Odell Road.
Andrea
That's a huge range, Emily!
Andrea
I'll never find it.
Emily
I think there's an abandoned stone mill or something nearby.
Emily
A little south of here.
Emily
I see no other marked locations on the map.
Emily
I don't know what else to tell you.
Andrea
Well, I'm coming to look for you guys.
Emily
That seems like a dumb idea.
Emily
It's too dangerous!
Andrea
Look, I went to class. I got your notes.
Andrea
And now I'm getting Kate out of there.
Emily
OK, Andrea. Be careful though.
Emily
I gotta turn off my phone to save battery.
Emily
I'm at 43% now. Damn GPS.
Emily
I'll text again soon.
4 hours and 11 minutes later.
Emily
Hey. I got a note back from Kate.
Andrea
OMG. What does it say?!
Emily
It says she's excited I'm gonna join The Order.
Emily
And she's not gonna confess about the notes and stuff between us.
Andrea
That would've been bad.
Emily
Uh, yeah. Disastrous.
Emily
And I talked to Derek, too.
Emily
I told him I wanna join.
Andrea
Did he believe you?
Emily
I don't know. I think so?
Emily
I told him I'd seen Kate on campus before The Order, and she seemed so much better off here.
Emily
I said I wanted that, too.
Emily
And that I'm really scared of the End Times.
Emily
I basically regurgitated all the garbage they say here a lot.
Emily
I played the part, like I always do.
Andrea
I'm glad you didn't get sucked into the cult, too.
Andrea
After hearing about Kate, I was worried they could get anybody.
Emily
Well, I knew what to look out for, thanks to you.
Emily
But hey. I'm scheduled to start The Breaking next week.
Emily
I'm not going in that freaking cell, Andrea.
Andrea
I know. I'm doing my best to find you.
Emily
Are you actually out looking for the house?
Andrea
Yeah. I'm hopelessly lost in the woods.
Andrea
I had to take a bus to the river and obviously they don't go on these old dirt roads.
Andrea
I've been wandering around on foot for about 2 hours.
Emily
I wish I could give you better directions.
Emily
I'm gonna need to turn off my battery again though.
Emily
I'll check on you soon.
3 hours and 22 minutes later.
Andrea
NO. I'm lost in the fucking dark, Emily!
Andrea
Where have you been?!
Emily
I couldn't get away to text you.
Emily
But I found something.
Andrea
Yeah?! What does it say?
Emily
First tell me where the hell you are.
Emily
You can't stay alone in the woods all night.
Andrea
I found the old stone mill.
Andrea
I can't be too far from the house.
Andrea
But I don't have anywhere to plug my phone in out here.
Andrea
I don't wanna use up the battery on the flashlight.
Andrea
So I'm gonna hide out in the mill for the night and get out looking again at dawn.
Emily
You're gonna sleep in a crumbling old building with no AC?
Andrea
Unlike you, I like the outdoors.
Andrea
I don't need 1000 thread count sheets or whatever.
Andrea
I'll be fine. I want to help.
Andrea
Tell me about Celia's diary.
Emily
OK. Well, I found out about Sasha.
Emily
I know why she's here.
Emily
Celia's diary says Sasha came to the house sometimes when she dated Derek.
Emily
She fell for his slick charm just like I did.
Emily
She thought he was perfect, too.
Emily
Then she officially joined The Order.
Emily
She went through The Breaking, The Confession, and The Cleansing.
Emily
But she still had doubts about staying permanently in the house with Derek.
Emily
I guess he told her after The Cleansing that they could only be friends.
Emily
He had to use his "ability to connect" to recruit, not to seduce her or whatever.
Emily
He said recruiting a skulk to survive the End Times is the top priority.
Andrea
What the hell is a skulk?
Emily
It's a group of foxes.
Emily
Outsiders are called sheep.
Emily
Derek is The Shepherd who herds the flock to The Order, where the sheep become foxes.
Andrea
You have the worst taste in men.
Emily
But I guess Sasha told Celia she felt betrayed by Derek, like their relationship had been a lie to recruit her.
Emily
Sasha believed in The Order and feared the End Times, but she was upset with Derek.
Emily
That's what Celia wrote.
Andrea
Then why would she fake her death and change her name to Regina?
Andrea
Why would she runaway with Derek?
Andrea
You said it was Sasha there with you!
Emily
It is Sasha. Hear me out.
Emily
Celia wrote in her diary that Derek took Sasha to the beach one night.
Emily
When they came back to the house, Derek announced to The Order that Sasha was The Herald.
Emily
He said she'd lost all her memory of her old life of sin and disease.
Emily
She had become Regina, which means "queen."
Emily
She was the queen of the cult.
Andrea
But what's a herald?
Emily
Something that precedes or comes before.
Andrea
Someone who comes before what?
Emily
I guess her amnesia would explain her disappearance.
Emily
Celia wrote that Sasha seemed to have no clue who she was before the beach.
Emily
The Order was forbidden to speak of it, according to the diary.
Andrea
But how did Sasha get amnesia?
Emily
I don't know for certain.
Emily
But Celia had an idea.
Emily
She wrote that she saw a gash on the side of Sasha's head, hidden by her hair.
Emily
She was Sasha's roommate in the house, and she noticed the cut while Sasha was sleeping with her hair swept aside.
Emily
The diary says that the beach Derek took Sasha to is rocky.
Emily
Celia believed that Sasha hit her head on the rocks, lost her memory, and Derek created a new identity for her.
Emily
She wrote that she was worried Derek had brought her to live at the house unwillingly, since Sasha had expressed doubts about moving before the beach.
Andrea
What are you telling me, Emily?
Andrea
That Sasha hit her head, forgot all about her previous life, and Derek lied to her to get her to the house?
Emily
Yeah. But I think there's more to the story.
Emily
Well, Celia thought so.
Emily
Celia wrote that she didn't think Sasha fell on the rocks at the beach.
Andrea
Wait. She didn't fall?
Andrea
Then how did she hit her head and lose her memory?
Emily
I think he tried to kill her, too.
