NARRATOR: Previously
on Light as a Feather.
‐ How could I have possibly
played that game again?
I just don't exactly remember.
‐ Because of the blackouts.
‐ I keep waking up
in these strange places,
having no idea how I got there.
‐ Well, is your mom still
tracking your phone?
‐ That's L.T.
It stands for Little Trey.
‐ You named it after me?
SAMMI: Yeah.
Maybe we could go back
to the way things used to be.
VIOLET: When did you become
such an artist?
‐ It's just something I started
doing in the hospital.
‐ Who are these people?
‐ I don't know.
Just faces
that come to me, I guess.
‐ So how did you know
that guy was gonna die?
Does it have something
to do with that game?
‐ No, it has nothing
to do with the game.
‐ You played Light as a Feather
with Violet?
‐ Who's Violet?
No, I played with
your friend McKenna.
This isn't over.
[suspenseful music]
‐ Nadia Abrams
always had a temper,
but this time,
it flared so bright,
she couldn't even
think straight.
‐ [screams angrily]
‐ She just wanted to get away‐‐
far away from this person she'd
so quickly learned to hate.
‐ [panting]
‐ And in that brutal
struggle...
[glass shatters]
That's when it happened.

I mean,
I knew Violet's parents died,
but from a gas leak
on Christmas Eve?
‐ I can't believe you went there
in the middle of the night.
‐ What? You think I can?
According to my tracker,
I haven't blacked out since,
but...
I mean, who knows when
it'll happen again?
Who knows what I'll do?
‐ Are you gonna be okay?
I know your mom's working late.
MCKENNA:
Oh, yeah, I'm fine.
Even if she wasn't,
I don't need a babysitter.
‐ I know.
I know.
It's just,
it's our first Christmas
without Candace
and Olivia, and...

I love you.

Everyone you love could
be gone, and you're all alone.

I played is gonna kill me?

McKenna was there,
but we don't know
that she killed Nadia, do we?
‐ Yeah, but we don't know
if she didn't either.
‐ I don't need a video to tell
me that McKenna's innocent.
‐ Then what are you
so worried about?
‐ I'm worried because
if McKenna sees this,
she'll blame herself even more.
‐ If she sees it.
‐ The cloud's synced
with the camera.
So if it's deleted here...
it'll also be off the camera.
She'll never know.

TREY: And then they found Nadia
with her head bashed in.

they all died in the exact way
that she predicted.

you could.

there's nothing we can do.

they're supposed to die,
