Kevin and Yvette believe that Kevin's latest vision is a sign that they are getting closer to something as it is a recurring one of blue butterflies, he last having seen them after helping ...
Previously on "Kevin
[Probably] Saves the World"...
- I'm a messenger from God.
- Oh, good.
I'm here to guide and protect you.
- Who are you talking to?
- She can't see me.
The only job you have
in life is to build up
your spiritual powers through
- acts of kindness and selflessness.
- [LAUGHS]
God is gonna show you how
to find the other righteous.
Can you please explain to
me why I can't tell anyone
who I am, who you are,
or what I'm doing?
When are you gonna ask Amy out?
- What do you think?
- No.
If you were to ask me
out, I would say yes.
You and the others
still need to find out
what happened to the other 35 righteous.
- Sweet murder board.
- Aah!
- He's one of you?!
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Big time. That's why I'm here.
I want to join Team Kevin.
- No. No.
- Great!
- Team Kevin forever, right?
- [LAUGHS]
I have a mission for you.
Oh, look at them.
Brought together by the
whims of happenstance.
Random moments connecting their lives.
It takes my breath away to think about
how you are screwing it all up for them!
[QUIETLY] I'm going as fast as I can.
Seems like you're afraid
of a little dirt, Kevin.
[GROANS] I wish this was dirt.
The clock is ticking, Kevin.
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
- Everything okay down there?
- You bet!
Oh. Smooth sailing.
Oh!
Found it!
[GROANS]
Okay, he's down on one knee.
Oh, they're laughing, they're
laughing, they're laughing!
Ooh, she said yes! She said yes!
She said yes!
[LAUGHS]
You guys seem familiar.
Kevin? Are you okay?
- Kevin?
- [RAT SCREECHES]
- Ohh!
- [SPLASH]
[SCRUBBING]
You do realize that tomato juice is
supposed to be for skunks, right?
I'll have you know there was
a dead skunk in the sewer,
so who feels like the stupid one now?
What makes you think they were
the exact same butterflies?
I'm telling you, new vision,
same as the old vision.
I mean, what reason
would the Universe have
for sending a repeat vision?
[GASPS] We should ask Dave.
Like I said, Dave will
be gone for a while.
A "Secret Mission," I know.
I just think as captain of Team Kevin...
Coach, then.
I'm Kevin.
Look, I just want to know
where all of our players
are at all times.
[SIGHS] Focus, please.
Now, the first time you saw
the butterflies was...?
In my room, after helping Reese.
So, perhaps there's a connection.
Maybe the Universe is trying
to get you to go back.
To my room.
To Reese.
[GASPS]
Yes. Right.
Yep, that...
♪
That does make more sense, 'cause
I have been in my room quite a lot.
Friend problems?
- Someone "Mean Girl" -ing you?
- No.
Schoolwork? Troubled romance?
- No.
- [SIGHS]
Puberty?
Mm! No.
School teachers?
[GASPS] Oh, they play!
What about the play?
What about the play?
It's your big theatrical debut.
You must be nervous. I can help.
I told you, I'm not in the play,
I'm on the stage crew.
Reese, there are no small parts.
Only small people.
[SCOFFS] You're an idiot.
- What?
- You don't even need to go.
I am definitely going to your play.
- No doubt, okay?
- Hey, um,
can I talk to you guys for a minute?
Sure. I'm just helping Reese
get over her stage fright.
Um, okay.
- I have to tell you something.
- Mm-hmm.
And it's kind of a big deal.
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay?
I'm going out on a date.
And I want you to know that I'm not
trying to replace your father.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Yeah, he's a co-worker from school,
he's really nice.
His name's Iggy.
Is he a character from
a children's cartoon?
[SNICKERS]
It's short for Ignacio.
Okay. Actually, that's
a pretty cool name.
- Yeah, well, he's a pretty cool guy.
- It is.
He teaches philosophy and theology.
Nope, sorry, he's back to uncool.
Okay, you know what, I
am anxious enough already
without a bunch of heckling
from the peanut gallery.
Okay, I'm sorry. I am sorry.
Here I come. I'm making
everything better.
- [SIGHS]
- Come on. I'm sorry. Come here.
I think it's fabulous
that you're dating again.
And, Reese, also, don't you think
it's fabulous that your mom
feels ready to date again?
Reese?
- Okay. You know what?
- I...
I don't know why I bother with you two.
- I don't.
- I...
[SIGHS]
Do you need me to help
process this news?
Must be pretty upsetting.
♪
Kev, can't thank you enough
- for the assist on this little minx.
- Any time, man.
Took me 12 long years to track her down,
but now she's finally mine.
12 years? Is this some kind of
special papasan?
Why yes, Kevin. Yes, it is.
I was 15 years old.
The Kautter Family basement.
And this rattan-framed beauty cradled me
during in my first kiss.
That's, uh... sweet.
Yeah, I thought so, too.
Mrs. Kautter was a little creeped out.
But she eventually sold it to me.
And, I got to say...
Totally worth the wait.
I'll give you a moment. [SIGHS]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
♪
Hey, Ty?
Do you see a-a butterfly?
Are you the butterfly?
I don't think so.
Then my answer is no.
How would you feel about
taking a little detour home?
♪
[HORNS HONKING]
♪
Oh, okay. Reese's school.
♪
Whoa. Sorry, guys. Wrong class.
Uh, nope. I-I-I think this is, uh...
I think this is us.
You're taking my continuing
education art class for seniors?
Well, we're more like, uh, auditing it.
Check with the learning center.
Classes within your age range
start at the beginning of each month.
Are you sure you don't need any help
[CHUCKLES] with the class?
Just cleaning brushes,
sharpening pencils, anything?
I am in a bit of a jam.
How comfortable are you with your body?

[CLEARS THROAT]
♪
Great line weight, Cheryl.
Very loose and balanced.
Hey. Hello, ma'am?
Sorry, could you please
not distract my students?
Sorry.
Try experimenting...
How do you stay so still?
As a kid, I'd spend hours
in front of store windows,
pretending I was a mannequin
while my mom went shopping.
One day she left me there overnight.
So much fun. [LAUGHS]

Okay, you know what?
Turns out I only need
one gladiator after all.
One gladiator's good. You can leave.
No, I'm sorry. I just... I'm sorry.
- Shield.
- See you in the car, K-Dog!
- Okay.
- Come on. Shield. Shield.
- Let's go.
- [GASPS]
Wait, wait, wait.
I promise I'll be so good.
One more chance. I'll be quiet.
Please, please, please.
I'll be so, so quiet.
- Never quieter. The quietest.
- All right. All right.
[SOFTLY] Sorry.
♪
Eyebrows over there
is a freaking natural.
What are you doing here?
I gave you a mission.
I know.
And I failed.
Hard.
I talked to every one of us.
I gave my best sales pitch,
you know, "Rejoin the cause!"
"Help save the world.
"Maybe get a new soul to protect."
And they all said the same thing?
- A big, fat, juicy nope.
- Even Ava?
Especially Ava.
She said she wanted
nothing to do with you.
Hey.
Hey.
Come on. We'll get through this.
All right?
Look, I know how these kids feel.
I've been there myself.
Just let them, burn
through all that anger
and resentment while we
focus our energy on Kevin.
As soon as he anoints a new righteous,
the rest'll come around. Trust me.
[SIGHS]
- You think so?
- You bet your sweet ass I do.
We're not there yet. Duly noted.
Hey! I wanted to return your costume.
Sorry. There you go.
Um, sorry if I was too
disruptive in class.
Not your fault. It's me.
I've been in a snit all day.
Is something bugging you?
What do you think about this?
[CHUCKLES] I think it's really good.
- Is that yours?
- Yeah.
So, how come all your great art
is just piled up in this car?
Supposed to be part of an
art exhibit this weekend.
My first.
Friends own a gallery in Austin,
asked me to be a part of it.
- [CAR DOOR CLOSES]
- What happened?
Same thing as always...
I book a show, get psyched,
but when the moment comes, I...
I can't bring myself to do it.
Gotten to a point I just
keep them in the car now,
hoping to build up enough courage.
Well, what are you afraid of? I mean,
what's the worst that could happen?
Everyone says that I suck.
Uh, well, people tell me that I suck,
literally, every day,
and it's not that bad.
I'm a coward.
Better to be left
wondering than mortified.
- Excuse me.
- Well...[SIGHS]
- Okay.
- [ENGINE STARTS]
♪
[KNOCKING ON WINDOW]
- Sorry.
- What are you doing?
I am looking at a guy who's clearly
talented, but needs assistance.
And how do you know that?
Because I am a patron of the arts.
I love all the great
artists, artworks...
Mona Lisa, um, Soup Can,
People At The Park Made Our of Dots,
um, Screamy Face,
Melty Clocks... personal fave.
Very impressive. But I'm... I'm not...
Look, look, look, you can
barely fit in your car.
I have a truck. I'll drive you
to Austin. I can help set up.
I'll... I'll... I'll cheer you on.
You're not gonna let go
until I say yes, are you?
Pretty much, yeah.
All right. Fine. I-I'll do it.
Yes! You will not regret this.
- Now please let go.
- Sorry.
- Oh, hey.
- Hi.
- Sorry.
- No. I-I'm sorry.
Uh, were you leaving or...?
No. I mean, yeah, I w... I was leaving,
but, um, I-I can talk if...
- Are you here to talk?
- Uh, yes, I...
Well, I actually just
wanted to see if you've
given any thought to,
uh... to tomorrow night?
Definitely. Yeah. Like,
so many thoughts.
That's great.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Well, I-I know you have the play first,
but I'm flexible for whatever
you want to do after.
Oh, sure. Like, um, dinner?
I'm open to anything.
Or we could go to a movie, you know?
Uh, but I will have just been sitting
for a couple of hours, so, you know,
something active may be nice. [CHUCKLES]
But not too active.
Like a museum, you know,
or dancing or mini-golf.
How about that last one? Hmm?
- Mini... Mini-golf?
- Fantastic.
Yeah, haven't done it in years.
Should I meet you there?
Yeah. Yeah, sure. That'll be great.
Oh. Great.
Mini-golf?
Amy. Mini-golf?
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
Ah! Who wants to check out an ultra-hip
Austin art show with me?
Since when are you into art?
I'm not. But you are.
Figured you could be my ringer.
When is it?
Tomorrow.
You forgot.
Forgot what?
My school play. It's tomorrow.
Uh...
Oh, man, you totally fell for it...
"Kevin, you forgot my school play."
Totally fooled you.
That is hilarious. You
are too easy, kiddo.
- Mm-hmm.
- Too easy.
If you have something
else to do, I get it.
It's... not a big deal.
What? No. That is silly.
I am definitely gonna...
- Be there. Uh...
- Seriously, it's not a big deal.
I told you you didn't have to go.
Really?
Oh, hey, guys.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Guys? Dave!
- Hey there, handsome.
- When did you get back?
Uh, earlier today. And I'm leaving.
You are?
Just for a few days.
I need to recharge my batteries.
Dave here will keep an eye
on you while I'm gone.
Are you comfortable with that, Dave?
- Are you kidding?
- [BUTTONS POP]
I've been waiting for this moment.
"Team Kev..."
No way!
You know what? Never mind.
Never mind all that.
[IMITATES AIR HORN]
Boys' weekend, babyyy!
[LAUGHING] [IMITATES AIR HORN]
KRISTIN: Okay, guys, let's run the cues
for Act Three one more time, please.
Oh, hi!
You guys are lifesavers.
The kids are really
working their tails off.
Oh, well, this is Amy's idea.
And she paid for it.
But, um, I carried more boxes.
[LAUGHS]
I'm really sorry to hear about your mom.
Thank you.
Yeah, yeah, it's, um,
it's been an adjustment.
And the play has been
a-a welcome distraction.
Reese has been an incredible help.
- Our Reese?
- Yeah.
She... She designed the
sets and the poster and...
And she's basically been
our de facto stage manager.
Uh, hey, Cameron, can
you hold that stardrop?
We need to reset for Act Three.
You two better get here early
and snag the best seats.
Yeah. We'll get here super early.
Uh, but I... have got to get going.
So, um...
- Okay, bye.
- See you later.
Uh, are you available to chaperone
the cast and crew party tonight?
[SIGHS] I wish I could,
but I have plans.
A date, actually.
- That is so great.
- [GIGGLES]
Well, hey, you're... you're
welcome to bring him.
Yeah. Well, that sounds
much more enjoyable
than mini-golf, which I
inexplicably suggested.
It's a disaster waiting
to happen. Seriously,
I don't know what to do,
I don't know what to say,
- I don't know how to act...
- Amy. Amy. Amy.
Let's have some pizza.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
I haven't been out with anybody
who wasn't my husband in over 20 years.
The experience really
isn't that much different
than when you were a teenager.
My mother drove me to the
last date that I went on.
Okay. Well, that's, uh... [LAUGHS]
Yeah, but, you know, the good news is
you've already got the
toughest part out of the way.
Now you just get to know each other
and see if you're compatible.
"Hi. I'm a widowed mother
"of a teenage daughter."
I like good books and
long walks on the beach
when I'm not being driven
insane by my twin brother
"who, oh, by the way,
he also lives with me."
I'm sure this Iggy guy
has issues of his own.
Right? 'Cause everyone has baggage.
You just... You don't unpack
it all on the first night.
Yeah. Okay, but what
if I start to unpack?
Uh, then focus on the mini-golf, right?
Yeah. Destroy him if you have to.
Mm-hmm. Wait. Hold that thought.
Uh, Jeffery, Marcella.
Yeah, please keep your hands
and your mouths to yourselves.
[RUMBLING]
AVA: Do you ever have the urge to
take a big bite out of one of those?
I think it must be the color.
Or the swirls.
Reminds me of taffy.
Thanks for coming, Ava.
Surprised to get the invitation.
I'm supposed to be taking some time off.
But I really need to discuss Dave.
Oh, boy. What about him?
Have you seen him recently?
Sure.
You have?
Last night, in a dream.
You were there, too.
And there were so many puppies.
Have you seen Dave somewhere
that wasn't a dream?
No.
That's what I thought.
[PINS CLATTER]
Are you looking for him?
More like looking into him.
He showed up last week,
offering to help with Kevin,
but something's felt off ever since.
Well, yeah. There's a reason for that.
Dave's the one who told the rest
of us not to listen to you.
- He was?
- You bet. Right after we got here.
Very angry, and very convincing.
[GIGGLES]
This game is really easy.
S-so, what do you think he's up to?
I don't know, but I am gonna find out.
And then I'll make him cry.
- [PINS CLATTER]
- [SIGHS]
Uh, I think I need one more
painting from the house.
- I'll be right back.
- Okay.
[DOOR OPENS]
What's wrong? Talk to Dave.
You should have seen
Reese on that stage.
It was like a different kid.
No moping, no sarcasm. She was engaged.
Her hair was in a ponytail, Dave.
Yeah, nothin' says confidence like
a strong pony, that's for sure.
And now I'm the knob
who's bailing on his niece.
Yet again.
Hey. Kev.
You're not a knob.
Tell that to Reese after
I don't show up tonight.
Well, then go to the play.
And do what? Ditch Ethan?
Yeah, you're in a tough
spot, amigo. No doubt.
- Yeah.
- But even a non-human
like myself can tell that
family is a key component
to your spiritual well-being.
And, in that this entire
shebang is all about
strengthening your spirit,
isn't it entirely possible
that supporting Reese is the
better decision right now,
I mean, you know, spiritually?
Yeah. That sounds smart.
Because it is. [LAUGHS]
Listen, um, Kev,
the Universe has asked
far too much of you,
and that sucks.
So, I'm stepping up.
Time for the rubber to meet the road.
Team Kevin's got your back, muchacho.
Hi!
Hi, I'm a good friend of Kevin's.
My name is Dave.
Um, nice to meet you, Dave. I'm Ethan.
Bad news... uh, Kevin
can't make it to Austin.
He has a family emergency.
But I can, you know, I mean,
if that's cool with you, of course.
Um, yeah, I-I guess.
I'm a huge art buff.
I checked out a bunch of
your stuff in the truck...
Really evocative stuff, man. Trè bien.
Uh... Uh, thanks.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong,
but do I sense a slight
undertone of Fauvism in
much of your oil work?
No, you're right. Um, I'm always drawn
to intense usage of... Of color.
- Ethan, you can see this guy?
- Um, y-yeah.
Yeah, of course he can... see me, Kevin.
Why wouldn't he be able to see me?
Hey, good thing I'm driving
you to Austin, huh?
[LAUGHS] Come on.
♪
- What the hell, Dave?
- Apologies, Kevin.
I did not mean to overstep my bounds.
- I was just trying to help.
- No, no!
Since when can you reveal
yourself to other people?
Since... forever.
I... I thought you guys couldn't
show yourselves to other humans?
[LAUGHS]
Who the heck told ya Th... Oh.
Why would she lie to me?
Kev, we both know Yvette isn't
exactly the sharing type,
but I'm sure she had her reasons.
What else hasn't she told me about?
I want to know.
Bud, if it were up to me,
I'd tell you everything.
Honesty is kind of my number-one jam.
But just when Yvette gets back, have
a chat with her, clear the air. Awesome.
Now quit being such a downer
and go hang with your family.
Dave's got this "Universe" junk handled.
Enjoy the night off.
- Thanks, Dave.
- Okay.
- ♪
- _
No, thank you, uh, ma'am, for that.
So, you know, if you just take
your seats and enjoy the play.
Okay, that's great.
- [EXHALES SHARPLY]
- Hey.
- Hi.
- You seem a little bit overwhelmed.
Uh, yeah. Well, you know, let's see.
Um, the fog machine still isn't working,
and the cast decided
they need a different
flavor of seltzer because they heard
that Lin-Manuel drinks pamplemousse,
so [LAUGHS] that was...
Anyway, enough about...
How are you? Are you feeling
better about the date?
More so than I did this morning,
thanks to you, so thank you.
It's gonna be fine.
Excuse me, I heard there
were programs over here.
- Deputy, nice of you to join us.
- Thank you.
Well, uh, this is a bit of a surprise.
Yeah, is it, uh, strange for a grown man
to be watching a high-school play?
- Uh, yeah, kind of.
- [CHUCKLING]
Well, the, uh, Chief's
daughter is one of the leads.
Our attendance tonight
was "recommended."
[SCOFFS]
So, um, do you want to go get
something to eat afterwards?
We can't!
Yeah. Uh, we... we can't,
because, um, we're stuck
chaperoning the cast
and crew after party,
so we're just stuck doing
that all night long,
- so chaperoning away, right?
- Yep!
Okay, well, um, good luck with all that.
- Thank you.
- Yeah!
- That was fine, right?
- Well, it... it...
It sounded fine. Yes. It was fine.

I feel wonderful.
Oh! I'm glad, because while
you've been goofing off,
Dave has been working
against us this entire time.
We can't trust him.
Ha!
[LAUGHS] Wow.
Whoo, boy. Amazing.
This isn't funny, Kevin.

[NORMAL VOICE] Surprise!
So please, please, please
continue to lecture me
about the importance
of trust and honesty.
We didn't know who or what
affected the other righteous,
so drawing attention to
you by parading around
and revealing myself felt like
a pretty foolish strategy.
Really? Um,
because from... From where I...
From where I stand, it felt
like you could've spared me...
And Amy and Reese... from
a huge amount of trouble,
but you chose not to.
I've been gone one day,

Dave is manipulating you, Kevin.
Dave? What about you?

So is that why you're not with Ethan,

Because we... we work
together as a team.
[SCOFFS] I'm sure.
And you know what?
Now that I think about it,
um, maybe it's time that I consider a...
A lineup change.
Namely you on the bench.
Sports.
So I don't want to intimidate you, but I
did score a hole-in-one on this course
about five years ago at
Reese's birthday party.
Is that so?

Just balls flying everywhere.

Well, I... I-I just... I wasn't sure
if all of this was a bit
weird for you, you know.
It's a little different,
but I'm having fun.
I took two showers today.
- I'm sorry?
- Yeah, I was getting ready earlier,
and I took a shower,
and then I second guessed
- the amount of cologne I put on.
- Uh, well, that is fascinating.
Which is to say that if I
was nervous for tonight,
[LAUGHS] I can imagine,
you know, the prospect
of our date holding a
little more anxiety for you.
Okay.
Maybe I was a little bit
nervous about tonight.
[LAUGHS]
I just... I didn't know
if it would feel strange
being on a date with
somebody that wasn't Jon,
and I'd feel like I was cheating on him.
Can you even cheat on a dead person?
Am I a bad kisser and he
never told me about it?
I mean, what other quirks
was he hiding from me?
Do I snore? Do I chew loudly?
Do I have an oddly shaped head?
Do my clothes have this, like,
funky, weird mildew smell
that I just don't notice but
you would definitely notice?

Hey, man. How's it going?
How was the show?
Shouldn't you be in Austin?
No.
Oh, my goodness, what a bust.
That guy does not have the confidence
to become an artist.
That's... sort of the entire reason
we were helping Ethan in
the first place, buddy?
I'm not a miracle worker.

What... What happened?
Mm. [LAUGHS, SNIFFS]
Nothing.

Well, what did you do?
What was I supposed to do,
kick him out of the truck?
Yeah.
But with your words, maybe.

- So, no... You know,
we just went and got some
wings and headed home
- and called it a night.
- Oh, my...
We'll get 'em next time, tiger.
Ah!
I knew it. I knew it. I-I-I...
I shouldn't have gone to the show.
I should've trusted my gut.
Yvette never would have let me
blow off the mission like that.
Ouch. I'm sitting right here.
If I had just stayed with Ethan,
everything would be fine.
I put Yvette on the bench for you, Dave.
Follow me.
- What? Wha...
- Eh... Come on.
Did I just spend the last two hours
talking about myself nonstop?
More like an hour 45.
Okay, well, let me please
start by apologizing
for turning our date
into a therapy session.
Well, to be fair, I mean, I
am the one that started us
- down that path so...
- So it's your fault.
I mean, anything to keep you from seeing
how terrible I am at mini golf.
Oh, I noticed that, like, immediately.
- [LAUGHS] Did you?
- Yeah, right off...
- Gah!
- Right away.
[BOTH LAUGH]
Okay, well, at least you know everything
there is to know about me.
[SCOFFS] I very much doubt that.
Okay, well, my hang-ups at least.
Well, to put it another
way, uh, you know, now that
you've given voice to these anxieties,
you don't have to worry
about it on a second date.
A second date? [CHUCKLES]
Do me a favor and stand
right there for a second.
Time for your lesson.
Can you tell me what color
paint is in this can?
- I-I don't know.
- Fair enough.
I, however, do know what color paint
is inside of this can, and that color...
- Is red.
- [LID CLATTERS]
What the heck?!
Oh, my goodness.
[LAUGHING] I am so sorry.
I'm sorry about that. What a booboo.
- Okay, just a sec.
- This was my only nice shirt.
Eh, don't worry about it.
I got it.
The paint inside of this can is green.
Okay, don't! Please don't, please don't!
Okay? I get it.
All right?
Enough! Okay? Enough. Stop it.
[SIGHS]
And... scene.
Now, here's the part where
I drop some knowledge.
- Does it involve dry-cleaning?
- Very good.
Kevin, my existence as
a warrior for God is,
to put it mildly, pretty sweet,
but there are still many things
with regard to my "warriordom"
- that I do not know.
- Yeah, I'm picking up on that.
Yvette and I, we're the same.
We have the same capabilities,
the same limitations.
There is one difference, however.
I am able to admit when
I've made a mistake.
Yvette, on the other hand, God love her,
she just can't help but act
like she has all the answers
even when she's wrong.
But, Kevin, here's the point...
No one is infallible,
not even beings like us,
no matter what she says.
YVETTE: Hey!
- Oh, boy.
- I'm not here for you.
Got business with this jackass.
- Sidebar. Now.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No sidebars, no disappearing,
no magic doors,
just no more secrets.
Kevin, I don't know what he's
been telling you, but...
Only the truth, sweetheart.
You should give it a whirl sometime.
Ooh, that's big talk coming
from a guy who's been
slithering behind my back since
you landed on this planet.
Now, does your truth
include an explanation
of why you've been working against us?
No. No, no, no. Not us. You.
Kevin, do you know why we
followed Yvette down here.
No, I don't.
We followed her because
she told us she could fix everything.
She told God,
she told anyone who would listen,
and we believed her.
We left our home, only
to get here and realize
that her entire plan was worthless.
She was just making it
up as she went along.
You knew exactly what
you signed up for, Dave.
I I signed up because
I believed in you...
So confident, so sure that you could
protect the righteous and save humanity.
She's saying you'll find
a whole new generation
of the righteous when the
truth is she has no idea.
You want to know what I think?
I think there aren't any more.
And I think there won't be anymore.
So, which one of us is right?
Go on. Tell him.
I don't know.
Boom. Told you.
Uh, Dave, please.
But...
[SIGHS]
That doesn't mean Dave's correct.
You must understand this was never
about certainty for me.
It has been and always will be
about my faith in you.
I believe
that there's no one on this planet
who can accomplish what you can.
Not me, not Dave.
You.
DAVE: Goose bumps.
Yeah, I forgot how good
you were at the faith bit.
What is it that you want, Dave?
I want Kevin to wake up and realize
that he's a "Plan B,"
that he's an audible.
I want him to think about
all the rinky-dink tasks
he kills himself for
a-and whether the future
of the Universe hinge's
on some dude's art show.
Because if he still thinks
that you've got the answers...
Then he's stranded...
With no way home.

AVA: Do you ever have the urge to
take a big bite out of one of those?
I think it must be the color.
Or the swirls.
Reminds me of taffy.
Thanks for coming, Ava.
Surprised to get the invitation.
I'm supposed to be taking some time off.
But I really need to discuss Dave.
Oh, boy. What about him?
Have you seen him recently?
Sure.
You have?
Last night, in a dream.
You were there, too.
And there were so many puppies.
Have you seen Dave somewhere
that wasn't a dream?
No.
That's what I thought.
[PINS CLATTER]
Are you looking for him?
More like looking into him.
He showed up last week,
offering to help with Kevin,
but something's felt off ever since.
Well, yeah. There's a reason for that.
Dave's the one who told the rest
of us not to listen to you.
- He was?
- You bet. Right after we got here.
Very angry, and very convincing.
[GIGGLES]
This game is really easy.
S-so, what do you think he's up to?
I don't know, but I am gonna find out.
And then I'll make him cry.

- [SIGHS]
Uh, I think I need one more
painting from the house.
- I'll be right back.
- Okay.
[DOOR OPENS]
What's wrong? Talk to Dave.
You should have seen
Reese on that stage.
It was like a different kid.
No moping, no sarcasm. She was engaged.
Her hair was in a ponytail, Dave.
Yeah, nothin' says confidence like
a strong pony, that's for sure.
And now I'm the knob
who's bailing on his niece.
Yet again.
Hey. Kev.
You're not a knob.
Tell that to Reese after
I don't show up tonight.
Well, then go to the play.
And do what? Ditch Ethan?
Yeah, you're in a tough
spot, amigo. No doubt.
- Yeah.
- But even a non-human
like myself can tell that
family is a key component
to your spiritual well-being.
And, in that this entire
shebang is all about
strengthening your spirit,
isn't it entirely possible
that supporting Reese is the
better decision right now,
I mean, you know, spiritually?
Yeah. That sounds smart.
Because it is. [LAUGHS]
Listen, um, Kev,
the Universe has asked
far too much of you,
and that sucks.
So, I'm stepping up.
Time for the rubber to meet the road.
Team Kevin's got your back, muchacho.
Hi!
Hi, I'm a good friend of Kevin's.
My name is Dave.
Um, nice to meet you, Dave. I'm Ethan.
Bad news... uh, Kevin
can't make it to Austin.
He has a family emergency.
But I can, you know, I mean,
if that's cool with you, of course.
Um, yeah, I-I guess.
I'm a huge art buff.
I checked out a bunch of
your stuff in the truck...
Really evocative stuff, man. Trè bien.
Uh... Uh, thanks.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong,
but do I sense a slight
undertone of Fauvism in
much of your oil work?
No, you're right. Um, I'm always drawn
to intense usage of... Of color.
- Ethan, you can see this guy?
- Um, y-yeah.
Yeah, of course he can... see me, Kevin.
Why wouldn't he be able to see me?
Hey, good thing I'm driving
you to Austin, huh?
[LAUGHS] Come on.

- What the hell, Dave?
- Apologies, Kevin.
I did not mean to overstep my bounds.
- I was just trying to help.
- No, no!
Since when can you reveal
yourself to other people?
Since... forever.
I... I thought you guys couldn't
show yourselves to other humans?

Who the heck told ya Th... Oh.
Why would she lie to me?
Kev, we both know Yvette isn't

but I'm sure she had her reasons.
What else hasn't she told me about?
I want to know.
Bud, if it were up to me,
I'd tell you everything.
Honesty is kind of my number-one jam.
But just when Yvette gets back, have
a chat with her, clear the air. Awesome.

better about the date?
More so than I did this morning,
thanks to you, so thank you.
It's gonna be fine.
Excuse me, I heard there
were programs over here.
- Deputy, nice of you to join us.

Yeah. Uh, we... we can't,

of our date holding a

Okay.
Maybe I was a little bit
nervous about tonight.

I just... I didn't know
if it would feel strange
being on a date with
somebody that wasn't Jon,
and I'd feel like I was cheating on him.
Can you even cheat on a dead person?
Am I a bad kisser and he
never told me about it?
I mean, what other quirks
was he hiding from me?

talking about myself nonstop?
More like an hour 45.
Okay, well, let me please
start by apologizing
for turning our date
into a therapy session.

am the one that started us

right there for a second.

paint is in this can?

is inside of this can, and that color...
- Is red.

Now, here's the part where
I drop some knowledge.
- Does it involve dry-cleaning?
- Very good.
Kevin, my existence as
a warrior for God is,
to put it mildly, pretty sweet,
but there are still many things
with regard to my "warriordom"
- that I do not know.
- Yeah, I'm picking up on that.
Yvette and I, we're the same.
We have the same capabilities,
the same limitations.
There is one difference, however.
I am able to admit when
I've made a mistake.
Yvette, on the other hand, God love her,
she just can't help but act
like she has all the answers
even when she's wrong.
But, Kevin, here's the point...
No one is infallible,
not even beings like us,
no matter what she says.
YVETTE: Hey!
- Oh, boy.
- I'm not here for you.
Got business with this jackass.
- Sidebar. Now.

No sidebars, no disappearing,
no magic doors,
just no more secrets.
Kevin, I don't know what he's
been telling you, but...
Only the truth, sweetheart.
You should give it a whirl sometime.
Ooh, that's big talk coming
from a guy who's been
slithering behind my back since
you landed on this planet.
Now, does your truth
include an explanation
of why you've been working against us?
No. No, no, no. Not us. You.
Kevin, do you know why we
followed Yvette down here.
No, I don't.
We followed her because
she told us she could fix everything.
She told God,
she told anyone who would listen,
and we believed her.
We left our home, only
to get here and realize
that her entire plan was worthless.
She was just making it
up as she went along.
You knew exactly what
you signed up for, Dave.
I I signed up because
I believed in you...
So confident, so sure that you could
protect the righteous and save humanity.
She's saying you'll find
a whole new generation
of the righteous when the
truth is she has no idea.
You want to know what I think?
I think there aren't any more.
And I think there won't be anymore.
So, which one of us is right?
Go on. Tell him.
I don't know.
Boom. Told you.
Uh, Dave, please.
But...
[SIGHS]
That doesn't mean Dave's correct.
You must understand this was never
about certainty for me.
It has been and always will be
about my faith in you.
I believe
that there's no one on this planet
who can accomplish what you can.
Not me, not Dave.
You.
DAVE: Goose bumps.
Yeah, I forgot how good
you were at the faith bit.
What is it that you want, Dave?
I want Kevin to wake up and realize
that he's a "Plan B,"
that he's an audible.
I want him to think about
all the rinky-dink tasks
he kills himself for
a-and whether the future
of the Universe hinge's
on some dude's art show.
Because if he still thinks
that you've got the answers...
Then he's stranded...
