[laughs awkwardly] Nope. No, no.
Nobody's jumping, right? Too dangerous.
- [Johnny] What? - [Cadence] No, no, no, wait.
Johnny said you all jumped while I was sick,
one of the many things I missed out on.
Or was that a lie?
No, once is enough.
And there are rocks, Cady, and you're not feeling well.
I feel better, actually.
I don't want to be the only one missing out.
Cady, don't. Please, don't...don't do it.
Don't do it, for me.
[groans] Don't be such a buzzkill, okay?
Like, we're here.
Even the moms jumped when they were teenagers.
They didn't have brain trauma.
Doesn't matter, okay?
If you're precise and you go exactly when that wave comes
and you jump where it's deep, then it's fine.
Okay, Cady? You're fine.
Johnny, can I talk to you for a second, please?
You know what? It wasn't even that fun.
Honest.
Whatever happened to Ebon?
He's not driving the water taxi anymore.
I-I thought I told you.
I'm seeing someone new.
Ebon was...whatever.
[sighs] It's making me so queasy.
Your stomach hurts when you have a secret.
You've been sick. That's what you just said.
You said you were done asking about last year.
We've all been saying things.

Hey, what the hell happened out there?
You just gave up once Will was safe.
Just tell me what's going on.
Beaumont and his teammates pissed in our lockers
during a tournament.
Okay, gross.
And?
And I decided to get revenge.
There was a cold snap,
and so I rented a water truck
with my emergency AmEx.
Fuck, how much did that even cost?
We flooded their indoor courts.
We left all the doors open
so the breeze would come through and it would ice over.
And then this kid...
Seb Delgado,
busted us, and I, uh...
and I kicked his ass.
And I left him there...
in the fucking cold.
And I wasn't thinking about the cold.
When I found out he was in the hospital,
I called my mom, and...
she fixed it.
All our matches were canceled for the ice,
but Seb didn't narc on me.
She paid him off?
- Yeah. - [Gat] Jesus.
[Johnny] His family, h-his teammates,
the paramedics.
But Beaumont has a video, and it'll go viral...
if I don't pay.
Harris Sinclair's heir destroying the family name.
Look, it was an accident.
[Johnny] An accident? Are you even listening to me?
The team wanted to run. I wanted to stay.
I wanted to fight.
I don't know why. Delgado's a good kid.
He's a scholarship kid,
kind of kid that you'd want to be friends with, Gat.
But I, um...
I don't know. I saw red.
[inhales shakily]
I remember when I was little, my, uh...
when my dad would flip out on my mom and I,
that's what she used to say.
She used to say, um...
just go to your room, Johnny.
It's okay. He's just... he's just seeing red.
Johnny, you're not your dad.
Yeah, I'm not Harris Sinclair either.
I'm the shitty thing in between.
I'm not a good person.
I'm fucked up, and I'm pissed off,
and I'm...I'm privileged in all the worst ways.
And, yeah, you've been right about me all summer.

So, Dad, I read Cadence the Riot Act, obviously.

It's not opened. I swear.

Johnny did just as I would have.
It was admirable.

Carrie...
Hmm?

Have you had those this whole time?
I was, um, putting Nan's ring back in Mom's...

I forgot. I didn't mean to keep it on.
Oh, Christ, while your kids went missing.
It wasn't her fault, actually. It was me.
I'm the reason Will ran off.
And I didn't save him.
I wasn't admirable. I wasn't strong enough.
And I forgot the water safety you taught us, Granddad,
but Gat remembered.
And Ed ran to the pier, and he caught the Coast Guard leaving.
He showed them where he thought Will would be
from all the times he took us out canoeing.
[sighs]
Ed and Gat saved us both.
I just screwed up. Um...

I don't want to talk to you right now.
I don't know what you were trying to do all day,

When you have amnesia,
memories can get triggered by your own body chemistry
if you're in the same physical state as you were
when the trauma happened.
The same heart rate, the same adrenaline rush
can bring you right back to that moment.
So, to remember the accident,
you wanted to nearly drown again?
I wanted to see if it would work, but it didn't.
The more you remember, the worse you get.
I sat by your bed while you had fever dreams
- and you took pills. - I didn't ask you to be there.
Where the fuck else am I going to be, then?
I don't know. Where were you all year

It'll always come back to that, Gat.
