back to us.

Shield her from harm.

Why weren't you there for me!

Olivia?

Olivia! Oh my God!

Liz. Liz! Garrett!

Are you okay? I'm so sorry.

I'm really sorry...

Oh my God. Olivia? Olivia.

Oh my God!

Oh, there you are!

Where am I?

Olivia, baby! Oh, baby!

Where am I?

You're home!

No, she's fine, really.

Just a little dehydrated,

the doctor said.

[LIZ]

Yes, I know, we're so relieved.

Hey, Sam, can you take

that out for me?

Don't think things are okay,

just because she's back.

Liz trusts you, but I don't.

But I'm gonna be different...

Give me an excuse.

If it were up to me, you'd be

right back in the group home.

(EERIE MUSIC PLAYING)

[SAM]

Olivia? Is everything okay?

Are you cold?

Did you have a nightmare?

I couldn't sleep, either.

Weird dreams.

I wasn't sleeping.

What happened to you out there,

squirt?

I was lost.

But you don't remember anything?

I mean...

I mean, was there anyone with

you... when you were out there?

I remember the trees

and the wind.

Just now I thought I heard

singing.

Weird, huh?

Let's go to bed, okay?

Look what I made.

It's for your costume.

Glad you're back.

[OLIVIA] Don't!

I like the sound the wind makes.

Night, squirt.

You.

She's not what she seems.

She's dangerous.

Rawr!

Hey!

Let's go.

Lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

[OLIVIA] Amen.

Amen. Goodnight, monkey.

Night, Mom.

Garrett's working late tonight,

and I have to do a split shift.

I need you to watch Olivia.

Liz, seriously? C'mon,

it's Halloween! I have plans!

I know, I'm sorry, I promise

I'll make it up to you, okay?

Please, Sam, for me?

Whatever.

Don't you understand,

I'm on your side.

I can't keep sticking up

for you...

if you keep sabotaging me

like this.

I want so much to see

you succeed.

I want you to be proud

of yourself.

I love the heck out of you, Sam.

Hey, there you are. So what's

the plan for tonight?

Um, we can go to my place

and we can get our drink on...

because I stole some beers

from my dad.

I can't go.

Sam... this is such bullshit!

Can't you just sneak out?

I really need to be different.

What's that supposed to mean?

I think I have a shot...

at something real.

I have to try.

Sam, I'm the only person who's

always been there for you.

No matter how much you

pretend...

they're never gonna be

your real family.

Not now, Logan.

So, I guess there's no point

in asking...

you to the dance, is there?

Here.

(DOG BARKING)

Olivia?

Olivia, what is the matter

with you?

I'm just playing.

Being mean isn't playing, okay?

It's dinnertime.

Come on, okay?
