Episode Summary


Mabel explains how the coronation will run, promising to stay with Anna. We hear briefly from a subject called 5712, who repeats the line "It’s really you. I missed you so much" over and over. The girls discuss the King's status as a tyrant, and then Aconite takes over the narrative, speaking of how she arrived in the hill and found her father. We hear a tape of Mabel when she was a subject when her voicemail repeats over and over. Then we hear from the girls in a different life-- where Mabel is a florist and Anna is a customer, flirting with each other.

Back to Aconite, we hear various histories of her death-- the Black Death and dying while immigrating to the States among them-- before she promises to take her father's throne back from Anna despite clearly having no idea how she died or who she is. Lastly we see Janet, still in the House, deciding to run after telling her audience to always tell people where you're going when on a ghost hunt. She starts screaming to be let out, which the House echos back to her dreamily in Anna's voice.
