ZOE: I didn't think
I'd ever feel this way again.
But everything's gonna be okay.

So we have first together,
then I go to science,
and you go to Spanish.
Oh, my God, I think Chess
might be in your class.
You have to sit next to him.
You have to tell me
what girls he's talking to.
Oh, hold on.
Hey, over here.
[CLASS BELL RINGING]
[CLASS BELL RINGING]
You never let anything
get to you.
I mean...
Echo?
I just wanna say
how sorry I am about Zoe.
You know, I can't imagine
how hard...
I'm really sorry.
Thanks, Parker.
It'll wear off.
Yeah. No, it won't.
The first day of high school
is the most freaking, awkward
day of your life.
That's undisputed.
There's awkward,
and then there's this.
You just gotta let people
get used to the new normal.
I don't think normal's
going to happen.
Okay, that came out
completely wrong.
I just meant that eventually
everybody's gonna move on.
Yeah, no,
I know what you meant.
I'm sure you're right.
It's just so sad
and so awful.
And nobody knows what to say.
Yeah, I know, I know.
Zoe was the most freakin'
perfect human being
that has ever seemed to...
Oh, my God, there he is.
Have you talked to him?
I mean, since it happened?
His mom put him in a facility.
Suicide watch and everything.
Full-on straightjacket,
padded walls.
It's so, so sad.
He was crazy about her.
You know he torched
his own car, right?
His Mustang?
Like the day after
the police gave it back to him,
soaked it in gasoline,
threw in a match.
And why the hell not, right?
I mean, it's not like
he can drive it anymore.
Who's gonna buy it from him?
Maybe some twisted
freak show.
Marc! Oh, my God, Marc.
Carley, come on.
Let's go to the bathroom.
Marc, I knew it wasn't you.
I swear to God, okay?
What'd you take, Carley?
Carley, what'd you take?
What did she take?
I have no idea,
honest to God.
You should've heard
what all of these assholes
were saying about you.
I stuck up for you, okay?
[SOBS]
Come on, Carley.
The bell's gonna ring.
The bell's gonna ring.
Wow. That happened.
Echo!
Could you be
any more stupid?
That guy didn't even
own a camera.
You got what you wanted.
You're famous.
Congratulations.
Hi, sweetie.
You're up late.
You too.
Yeah.
[SIGHS]
This new project's a bear.
[BOTTLES CLINK]
Where's your mom?
She went to bed.
[SIGHS]
How was she today?
The zombie meds
are working great.
Echo.
She did eat some ramen.
That's good.
That's good.
You got dinner?
Yup.
[SIGHS]
So what'd you do today?
Started high school.
Shit.
[CHUCKLES]
Shoot, uh...
I am sorry. I forgot.
It's okay.
[CHUCKLES]
High school, huh?
That's a...
That's a big deal.
Well, how'd it go?
Was it good to see
your friends?
Yeah.
Is Marc back?
He has a new car.
[GRUMBLES]
My mom's stuck
at the lady doctor.
She said
she's like half an hour.
Do you wanna just walk?
[SIGHS]
Fine.
I would get something big,
something cute and sporty
like a Fit or a Yaris.
My parents said they'd help me
with the down payment.
But I'd still have
to get a job.
Oh, my God, that's it.
That's Marc's new car.
His Mustang was way cooler.
Why is he parked
all the way out here?
Probably 'cause people
are so interested in him.
He should get the hell out
of this town after graduation,
go somewhere
where he won't be known
as the dead girl's boyfriend.
Oh, crap.
I can't believe I said that.
I am so sorry.
Oh, my God.
Hey, what are you doing?
Stop it, Echo!
That is not funny!
ECHO: Do you realize
what this means?
Honestly, no.
We looked everywhere for this.
The police were desperate
to find it,
and guess who's had it
this whole time?
So he didn't want everybody
reading Zoe's diary.
I mean, it's probably
all about him.
Exactly.
[SCOFFS]
He was the last person
to see Zoe alive.
They found her in his car.
Echo, Marc didn't kill Zoe.
They caught the guy.
He confessed.
Yeah.
[SCOFFS]
Yeah, but, Abby,
people confess all the time
to crimes they didn't do.
But...
they found a lot of...
physical evidence.
Yeah.
ZOE: June 10th.
Jeez, where to begin?
Was it Lennon
who said something about
life being what happens when
you're busy making other plans?
Anyway, it's just
so freakin' true.
Let's start with
my summer job hunt.
Hey, good luck.
- Thanks, Mom.
- You look beautiful.
Bye.
ZOE: And by summer job hunt,
I mean kicking it poolside
at Carley's.
Hey, what Mom doesn't know
won't hurt her.
Since it was
such a gorgeous summer day,
it would've been a crime not
to enjoy every second of it.

Oh! His dad's like
the banker or something.
Yeah, and he like
went to jail
for being some like
Wall Street D-bag.
You think he's hot?
He's totally checking me out.

I'm in recovery.
Shit.
Um, are you serious?
Yeah.
So why the hell did you
come to a party?
To meet you.
ZOE: And we talked for,
seriously, hours.
I had the stupidest smile
on my face the whole time.
I mean, I was practically
sober by the time I left.
[TAPPING WINDOW]
What are you doing here?
I tried calling you.
Yeah, I left my phone
at Carley's.
Busy tomorrow?
Job hunting, technically.
You need a ride?
Okay. 12:00.
Done.
- Hey, wait a sec.
- Yeah?
I forgot to give you something.
ZOE: I pulled him in
and then kissed him.
It was perfect.
DOCTOR: Well, if you're still
having trouble sleeping,
maybe we can
adjust the dosage.
I need that.
So last week you set a goal
to spend more time together,
doing something you enjoy.
How's it going?
Uh, it's...
I've been so bogged down
at work,
and Echo just started
back to school, so we...
Maybe budget out
some time this week.
Make it a priority.
Absolutely.
Echo, how's school?
Good.
Are you making new friends?
It's only been two days.
Zoe always had lots of friends.
You said once that
you felt stuck in her shadow.
Echo.
Everything you're feeling
is normal.
It's normal to be
anxious or scared.
Your sister was murdered,
and you're trying
to deal with that.
You all are.
I'm not scared.
Zoe made a stupid choice.
That's on her.

What for?
I wanna move to LA

get modeling jobs.

DETECTIVE: And she didn't
tell you where she was going?
You didn't ask?
I asked.
She said she'd tell me
when she got back.
And she took your car.
DETECTIVE: Is that something
she does often, Marc?
Borrow your car?
No, Detective,
she's never done that before.
Can't think of any reason why
Zoe might want to leave town?
She talks about leaving town
all the time.
- But after graduation...
- Where did she wanna go?
LA and New York.
And how do you fit
into those plans, Marc?
I don't know yet.
[CELL PHONE CHIMES]
We found your car, Marc.
DETECTIVE: Marc?
Are you sure there's
nothing you wanna tell us?
You're not gonna believe this.
Chess is having
a party tonight,
and Parker invited us.
Parker?
He comes up to me all casual
after English class and says,
"Hey, you and Echo should
come by Chess' place tonight."
Like it's a passing thought.
But I happen to know
that Parker's in
Miss Reuben's class for third,
which means he had to walk
like four hallways to find me.
No chance you're slightly
overthinking this?
No! Finally my high school
experience is beginning.
And the popularity demographics
have shifted in our favor
for probably the only time
in our lives.
What?
Think about it.
All the popular girls
have set their sights
on the juniors and seniors,
which means the boys
who used to be out of our league
are now at the bottom
of the picking order
and totally attainable.
I'm telling you,
you and I are never gonna
get a chance like this again
in our lives.

I'm sorry.
This is not a subject
that I wanted
to get brought up.
I know it's what
everyone's thinking
when they're around me.
At least you're
not afraid of me.
No one is afraid of you.
They're afraid

so much.

I haven't been with anyone

What, uh, happened?
Parents sent her to rehab
in Colorado

From what?
From making the same mistakes.
Zoe made mistakes?
Well, she's dead.
You know, Echo,
it seems to me you feel like
Zoe was to blame
for what happened to her.
Is that true?
We don't know
what happened to her.
The story that came out
at the trial...
Well, is that the whole story?
Do we... Do we even know
what really happened?
We don't know.
The jury didn't know
my sister.
You didn't know my sister.
My parents didn't know
my sister.
I barely knew my sister.
How did we all not know?

down into the water.
So deep that
it's actually dark down there.
I could see the surface,
but it seemed so far away.
I was sure I would
run out of air and die
before I could get there.
And that's what the past
few weeks have felt like.

For the ducks.
I, uh, I can't stay long.
You okay?
I never said
I was perfect, Marc.
Zoe, I don't want you to be.
As long as we learn
from our mistakes
they can't really
hurt us, right?
I wish you would tell me, Zoe.
Maybe I can help.
Well, actually,
you can help.
If I could borrow your car.
Ooh. What?
I'm a good driver.
- I don't know, Zoe.
- Come on.
I'll take perfect care of it,
I swear.
How do I know it's gonna
come back in one piece?
I need some collateral.
Mm-hmm.
You got anything valuable
in here?
- Lip gloss.
- Ooh!
- What is this?
- No, wait, no, no, no.
Give it back. No, seriously.
Give it back.
I already have it.
I've gotta go.
Where?
I'll tell you later.
Zoe, when?
Tonight.
After it's all over...
and in the past.
I found a way to fix things.
All right,
but if you don't come back,
I'm for sure reading it.
Car keys.
Uh-uh.
Kiss first.
Be safe.
- I'll text you tonight.
- Okay.
- Love you.
- Love you.
ZOE: I can't change
what happened,
but I wish I could.
I can't change
how I'm going to fix it,
but I know I can.
I'm going to make it
back to the surface.
I didn't think I'd ever
feel this way again.
But everything's gonna be okay.

So this is goodbye.
You're brave, Zoe.
I didn't know.
I'm so sorry that
I didn't know you better.
