BELIAL: I call upon the spirit of excess...
[ominous music playing]
abandoned may your inhibitions be,
create a vessel like this place of wanton revelry.

-[Reveler cackling] -Welcome.
[body cracking]
This form suits you.
[Reveler laughing]
I've forgotten, you have quite the way with words.
I've summoned you here to lure some pesky children
away from their leader.
[Reveler laughs]
Soleil will soon join me,
but they'll get in the way.
I know it's not in your nature, but be subtle.
[Reveler laughs]
Me? I'm off to find an old friend.
[heavy footsteps]
-Missy, where are you going?
-Just hanging out with some friends.
-[scoffs] You know it's not safe out there.
Not with those wolf-bears running around.
-They're called rougarous, Mom.
-It says here on the internets: they eat babies.
-We've talked about this. It was just a bad dream.
You didn't see a rougarou in the house.
-Yes, we did.
It looked at us as if to say,
[spooky voice] "I'll be back to eat you."
-You can't keep me cooped up here
because you're being superstitious.
-No, superstitions aren't real, but omens are.
Especially the bad ones.
ALL: Like the nightmares.
-How is it that we both had the same nightmare?
-For us: The wolf-bears. Next door: Vampires.
Who knows what's down the street?
So for you: Home early.
-One hour.
-Seriously?
-Or stay home. I like that better anyway.
-[Missy scoffs] -And no going to that pizza shop
where the wolf-bears are.
-Alright, I get it. No wolf-bears.
[restaurant chatter]
PAT: Are ya okay?
-Yeah, I'm fine.
-So, Soleil almost burned Brock?
-Yeah. It, it was like she wasn't herself anymore.
Then she just ran off. It, it was weird.
-Yeah, like, I have so many questions.
-I get it, but trust me, it won't help if she feels like
it's four against one.
And here she comes. 'Kay, just [whispers] be cool.
-[chair squeaks] -Hey.
-Greetings! -Hi... you.
[Pat chuckles nervously]
-Smooth, guys. Real smooth.
-Okay? What's going on?
Wait! Is this a "what's up with Soleil" meeting?
-Kinda. Pat?! -No.
-We're worried.
You had dark flames?
-Your entire body was on fire! How?!
-Were you really gonna hurt Brock?
PAT: And the funeral. Why did Belial talk to you?
And, and what did he say?
[demonic whispering]
-Guys, what part of "be cool" did you not get?
[demonic whispering]
-It's just that there's so much we don't know, we gotta ask!
BELIAL: They'll reject you
the minute they find out what you've done.
-PAT: We just wanna-- -[yells] Stop!
I don't wanna talk about this.
-Hey, don't, don't go, Sol.
-Just-- Whoa! -[hand sizzles]
Why is your hand so hot?
-Thisis my problem, okay?
None of you had the nightmares.
None of you are his blood.
Just stay away.
-Hey, hey! Whoa!
-We gotta do something.
Uh, I've never seen her like this.
-You guys should look for Belial.
I'll talk to her.
[door opens, closes]
-No one's reported anything suspicious.
-[sighs] I can't find anything either.
Someone thinks they saw a ghost, but that happens every day.
-You guys demon hunting?
-Hey, I know what you're thinking.
What kinda bad guy lets people post about him online?
Counterargument: Belial's been trapped in a tree so long,
he probably doesn't even know what the internet is.
-I think it's a good place to start.
-Yeah, except Belial just looks like a regular guy now.
He could be walking around Town Square
and no one would know.
-[door slams shut] -[all scream]
-Sorry! I forgot how strong I was.
[chuckles] Just kidding, i-i-it's windy outside.
[sighs of relief]
-Dad?! I thought you were supposed to be at work.
-They closed down the float warehouse,
so I came to pick Cece up and take her to the park.
-Uh, what happened to your hand?
-Eh, I got hurt at work.
Lots of people did. It was nuts.
Creepy things started happening:
lights going out, metal falling from the ceiling.
Even the floats were scary.
Two people got caught under them and almost died.
The bosses swore the place was cursed.
-CECE: Rawr! -Oh, no! A monster!
-[Cece giggling] -Ruuun!
-That beats anything we've found.
-We should go check it out.
-I'm in. -STANLEY: You sure, man?
It couldbe dangerous.
-Eh, you guys have my back,
and if I get hurt, Pat can fix me up, right?
-Yeah, uh, let's try really hard to not find out.

[door creaks, bell jingles]
-Hello.
Welcome to Le Claire Voyant. May I help you?
-Yes, I think you can.
-Ayida Weddo, I need you.
[sighs] Please. Please, come on!
-[demonic laughter] -[gasps]
BELIAL: You're just like Pierre,
and soon you will belong to me.
-Stop it.
Go away. [grunts]
-JUDY: Soleil? Missy's here! -[Soleil gasps]
-No!
-Hey, Sol, can we talk?
[wind blowing]
Soleil's not here. [chuckles] She's probably already at Lou's.
-Huh. She didn't say goodbye.
[ominous music playing]
[creaking]

-[whimpers] Your dad works here?
-Yeah, I've been coming here since I was a kid.
I always loved it, but now it feels like
there are way too many things with eyes.

[Maybe whimpers]
[carousel music plays on stereo, over speakers]
-Who turned that on? -[Reveler giggles]
[all gasp]
-Whoa! -[loud crash]
-No way that was an accident! Someone's doin' this!
-[lights zap] -Ah!
[growls]
[lights zap]
[evil laughter]
[lights zap]
[menacing laughter]
-What is that?!
-I don't know, but run!
[all yelling]
-I sense you're, you're lookin' for someone.
-Well, you aregifted, aren't you?
-I just need a name.
-Antoinette Du Sang.
-Her spirit is-- It's intense.
Mm. I should say it wasintense.
I'm sorry. She's passed on.
-Are you quite certain?
Death isn't always the end, you see?
-Wait... Her soul is still with us, angry
and, and trapped.
[heavy breathing] It mirrors her life.
One of much pain.
-Her soul is trapped, you say?
Interesting.
Her last moments, can you see those?
-I can try.
[panting] Oh!
Oh!
[ominous music playing]
[gasping]
[as Antoinette] Pathetic humans.
ANTOINETTE DU SANG: You all break so easily.
Shame your new club won't make it,
but I had to teach Fiona a lesson.
-[Otis grunting] -Now!
Where is she?
-[breathing heavily] I would never tell you.
-Antoinette! Let him go.
-You're turning me in to the Feu Follet?
You would have them take my soul?!
-It's what you deserve.
These were people I loved, and you took them from me.
You couldn't stand that I found a family.
People who loved me.
-We are vampires.
We don't settle down with families.
I thought I taught you better than that.
-No, you taught me pain and loneliness!
They taught me I could dream of more.
-[growls] -Ah!
-[gasps] -[grunting]
-[Otis moaning] -Otis.
-Nooo!
-I will never forgive you!
-[zapping] -[Antoinette wails]
[tense music playing]
[gasps, sighs]
-Thank you.
I know just where to find Antoinette.

-[Reveler laughing] -[Maybe whimpers]

[laughter intensifies]
-Okay. I-I don't know where that creepy jester thing went,
but I did see this crazy star symbol
burned into the ground.
-I saw that symbol at the theme park.
Belial was stuck in it. It's burned into my brain.
-Wait. D-Do you think Belial summoned that clown thing?
-One way to find out for sure. I gotta touch it.
-That evil weirdo? -No way.
-You don't even know what it can do!
-It hurt my dad and lots of other people.
The only way we'll know how to stop it is with Ayizan.
-[groans] Ugh, alright.
But you're not goin' by yourself.
How do you plan on touchin' that thing anyway?
Y-Yoo-hoo!
Creepy jester guy?!
I'm here. Just walkin'.
By myself!
[ominous music playing]
[yells]
[laughing]
-Come on!
-Now! -[Nelson grunts]
-[laughing] -Ah!
-[grunts] -[laughter continues]
-This demon of chaos can only be destroyed by--
[Reveler laughs]
[Stanley giggles]
[Reveler/Stanley laughing]
-Ah!
Stanley? What's wrong with you?
-[Stanley laughing] -[Pat yells, grunts]

-It's the beads. We have to get them off him!

[Nelson grunts, yells]
-[Stanley laughs] -[Nelson yells]
[screams]
-I'll confuse him, and you spray him!
-With what?!
Oh.
[tense music playing]
-Over here! Hey! -[Reveler grumbling]
-Behind you! -[Reveler grunts]

Ah!
Oh, man!

-Get the necklace!
[laughs]
[sweeping]
-[sighs] I've literally looked everywhere else.
Please tell me she's here.
-You mean Soleil?
No, I haven't seen her since she stormed out.
Looked pretty serious, though. What's up?
-[sighs] She's going through something,
but she's not answering my texts,
and I can't find her anywhere.
I'm not even sure she'd wanna talk to me even if I did.
-Oh, golly, Missy. Why not?
-We used to be best friends, but we had a huge fight.
I thought we were patching things up, but then this happened,
and I don't wanna end up not friends again.
-[chuckles] If that's how ya feel about it, you won't.
-Duh. -What?
-I mean, you're tryin'.
Things fall apart when ya stop trying.
LOU: Yeah. What she said.
Look, Missy, if you're willing to build a bridge--
-[gasps] That's where she is!
-Huh?
-Thanks for your sage wisdom, oldies!
-[laughs] Teenagers.
I'd be so bored if they were smarter.
[water flowing]
-MISSY: Thought you'd be here. -[Soleil gasps]
-How'd you know?
-This is where we used to go to get away from things.
And [sighs] I come here, too, sometimes.
It feels safe.
So, whatever you're going through,
I just wanna help.
-You can't help me.
Not with this.
-Come on. I get that we haven't been close,
and that I've been kind of
horrible to you in the past.
I never said sorry for that.
I'm sorry.
-I wasn't exactly awesome to you either.
I found something I loved, and when you didn't like it,
it-it kind of felt like you didn't like me, too.
And after my 10th birthday, you basically ghosted me.
-'Cause you took us to a haunted house
and I had nightmares for a week!
I even... wet my bed.
My brothers still make fun of me.
-I didn't know that.
-Yeah, well, I didn't wanna admit what happened.
I was embarrassed, and I blamed you.
-I'm sorry. Why didn't you just tell me?
-Because we were 10 and not talking about it was easier.
Please.
Let's not do that now.
[light music playing]
[grunting]
-No! Stanley, don't do this! Fight it!
[laughing]
-Uh, we gotta do something!
-I know, but what?!
[tense music playing]
I've got an idea. Help me get this free.
-[laughing] -[Nelson panting]
[groans]
[Nelson exhales]
-Nelson, are you okay?
-Knew you'd have my back.
-The Reveler can only be destroyed by seizing his laugh.
That's the back half of what Ayizan was gonna say.
Sorry. Thank you.
[shudders] I didn't wanna do any of that.
-Hey, it's okay, 'cause we got him.
Right?
[echoing laughter]
**
-I don't think so.
-I feel like I've messed everything up,
but like I was destined to.
It was my blood that brought Belial back.
And... after what happened with Mayor Furst...
-Ayida Weddo left me. -What?!
-I haven't had my powers since the amusement park.
And ever since then,
Belial won't stop talking to me:
the dreams, the journal,
and at the funeral...
he let me see Pierre.
He's still in there, fighting.
Belial kept saying I'll be just like him.
He offered me his powers.
I didn't know what else to do when that monster had you,
so... I took them.
The dark flames.
But every time I use them,
I can hear Belial telling me these horrible things.
-I get it.
-You do?
-He spoke to me, too, remember?
[sighs] The scariest part
is knowing he isn't mind-controlling you.
He's just putting the worst version of you in control.
-That's exactly how it feels.
-Sol, just because you have darkness in you
does not mean you're going to end up like Pierre.
All of us have a dark side.
You're not alone in feeling that way.
But if anyone can choose which side wins... it's you.
[light music playing]
-I want the light.
[fire crackling]
[music intensifies]
[gasps]
-It worked! -[Missy laughs]
One sec.
Please hear me, Miss Ayida.
You never left me... did you?
I guess I lost myself
and couldn't remember why you chose me.
It was me, not you.
I'm so sorry.
[light music playing]
-Oh... my... Goddess.
-[strong wind blowing] -[gasps]

[laughs]
-I can move water? -[Missy laughs]
[both laughing]
-[phone buzzes] -[gasps] My curfew!
-If you go rougarou, you can make it!
-[scoffs] As if I'd leave you behind.
[Soleil laughing]

-Soon, my pet, they will pay for what they've done to you.
Deadened flesh, you've met your end,
but from my power, arise again!
