- According to Nellie's diary,
someone was funding Tiffany's tuition.
What if it was Heather?
What if Tiffany was working with Heather?
- But just because Tiffany could have set the fire,
doesn't mean she did.
Remember, they were friends.
What are you doing?
- I need to talk to Headmistress Baker.
(upbeat music)
♪ And I say, hush my love now don't you lie ♪
♪ I might look sweet but I don't play nice ♪
- [Ari] What is wrong with you?
What is wrong with all of you?
(bell dings)
What is wrong with you?
What is wrong with all of you?
- Guys, are you seeing this?
- [Ari] What is wrong with you?
What is wrong with all of you?
- Just take the whole site down.
Now!
- What do you think I'm trying to do?
- How could we let this happen?
- Whoever hacked us is really good.
I can't get control!
- [Heather] Dig as much as you want,
but a bone is just a bone,
unless you know what skeleton it belongs to.
And frankly, sweetie, you're out of your depth.
- All right.
You keep up the good work in history.
- Thank you.
- I'm proud of you.
Bye bye.
Ms. King.
You seem to be going out of your way
to stir up trouble today.
- Kind of like Nellie, right?
Nellie Chambers, your old roommate?
- She was remarkable.
Had so much potential.
She should have been great.
You still can, Molly.
- What really happened that night?
- A tragic accident.
We lost Lucy.
We almost lost Nellie, too.
- Was it an accident or was it Heather?
- I'm only going to say this once, Ms. King.
There is no such thing as Heather.
- How can you be so sure?
- It's bullying, plain and simple.
Nellie got caught up in it.
She played with fire, and she got burned.
Now, more importantly, your disciplinary hearing
is set for next week.
- Wait, my what?
- Three strikes, Ms. King.
It's just policy.
(kids chattering)
- Ari!
Should we hang out later?
- Why would I ever say yes to that?
- People already think we are.
We might as well have fun.
I was kidding!
I’m sorry.
Are you okay?
- Agaememnon sacrificed his favorite daughter to win the war.
Why?
(door slams)
Yes, Danny?
- Because he killed Artemis's stag.
- So, a stag for his daughter...
does that seem fair?
- No, not at all.
- The Greek gods were notoriously vengeful and jealous.
- Like Heather.
- Excuse me?
- Why do we glorify them?
The gods were horrible.
- That's a good question.
Anyone?
- Because they have powers.
There's nothing we can do.
We're mere mortals.
- So what are we, like, lambs for slaughter?
We can fight back.
We have to.
(school bell ringing)
- Don’t forget, guys,
midterms next week.
They are worth 40% of your grade.
(door thuds)
- Come in.
Oh, hey.
- Hey, uh...is Morgan here?
I needed her help with something.
- Let me guess, take down the Ari meme?
Trust me, she's trying.
- What do you mean trying?
- Her site like got hacked or something.
- What am I supposed to do?
Sit here and do my math homework
while I become the school-wide joke?
- What kind of math?
- Trinomials.
- Let me see.
So we have two binomials here, and if we multiply them,
that's how we get the trinomials.
- X squared plus
- Four X plus.
- Four?
- Exactly, a perfect square.
- Thank you.
To be honest, math has been super hard without your help.
- I miss having someone to explain this to.
- Anyway, um...
what about the quadratic ones?
- Greek tragedies really get you fired up, huh?
- This place is driving me crazy.
The popular kids, Headmistress Baker,
and nobody tells the truth.
- So, you're drawing a map of Crown Lake?
- This is the original building plan.
- That explains everything.
- Your dad doesn't want you involved with me.
- I'm my own man, Molly.
Okay, boy who is almost a man.
- Okay.
Well, if you're not scared, Mr. Man,
why don't you come with me?
- Come with you where?
- Here. - Okay.
- Take this too. - Yeah.
(metal clanking)
- Are you coming or not?
- Instead of X squared, imagine it's one X squared
and then split the X between the parentheses.
Ari, are you even paying attention?
- Honestly, no.
I'm just thinking--
- About that dumb meme?
People are gonna forget about that by tomorrow.
- Will I ever feel normal again?
- [Lisa] Ari, I'm so sorry.
- It's not your fault.
What?
What aren't you telling me?
- It's nothing.
(bell dings)
- You just got a mysterious text.
Did you just do laundry?
Lisa?
Was it you?
You can tell me.
Oh my gosh, it was you!
You humiliated me!
- I had no choice, she's dangerous.
- Who, Felicity?
- Not Felicity.
You know who.
- I see it clearly now.
I wish I never kissed you and I wish I never met you.
- This is the secret passageway.
- What are we even doing —
What are we even doing down here anyway?
- The fire, the one your dad was in?
They blamed Nellie Chambers
and kicked her out of school,
but I don't think it was her fault.
- It's been decades.
Why do you care?
- Because…I found Nellie’s diary, and I think she was framed.
I think someone else set the fire.
- And they’re...hiding under the school?
- The cops said no one was in the theater building
the night of the fire, but they didn't check underground.
(Danny yells)
Excuse you?!
- I'm scared of rats.
- I think that was a mouse.
- Not crazy about those either.
- Come on, let's go this way.
So, this is the old boiler room.
That's weird.
It looks new.
We're directly under the theater building, meaning--
- There's a secret passage connecting the campus
to where the fire was.
- Exactly.
I’m so happy I could...
- Could what?
- I could do that.
- Wow.
(door clicks)
- Come on, let's get out of here.
(intense music)
- [Ari] What is wrong with you?
What is wrong with all of you?
My entire life,
I've done what's expected of me,
but after the last few weeks,
I'm tired of playing by the rules.
(keypad beeping)
- [Girl] Next time, on "Crown Lake."
- Once again, I'm learning something deeply personal
about my sister on the internet.
- The fire in the nineties?
It was actually an elaborate frame up
perpetrated against Nellie Chambers.
- Protest the dress code?
- [All] What we learn, not what we wear!
- The post came from your phone.
