Not Everyone's Version of Normal World's End

Cat? Cat, what is it?

I was in here, Noah. With my parents.

I think. And...

And Lexy was with us.

Lexy?

Where are you going? Cat?

-Is Luke down there?

-Yeah.

You can't just leave us with that!

He's fine. Noah might need some help getting him out.

BANGS ON DOOR

What?

Lexy...

I know this is going to sound strange, but...

..my parents...

..they disappeared.

Here, I think. And...

..I think I saw you with them.

How could you have seen me with them?

I don't even know your parents.

And I've been in here all evening.

I don't mean now, Lexy. I mean...

Please... Just tell me.

Do you know what happened to them?

How would I know?

Tell me!

I have no idea what you're talking about.

And get your low-rent low tops out of my doorway!

Oh...!

Noah, I can't see.

That could be a concussion.

No! It's you, shining your flashlight in my eyes.

You got a nasty bang to the head. You got to get it checked out.

I'm fine.

Whoa...

There really is a cave!

Yep. There really is.

Cat said you might need our help.

Yes! Thank you. Will someone, please, tell him...

Ouch! That looks nasty.

I feel fine.

Oh...! And what happened to your arms?

Gaia, it's just pen...

Why would you do that?

OK... Group vote.

Hands up who thinks Luke should get checked out?

Did you do this?

-No!

-I told you.

I ate a bad sandwich, passed out, hit my head.

You three, wait outside, please.

What happened?

A violent sandwich, apparently.

Well, you'll live.

But you take it easy.

I don't want you on your own at all for the next 24 hours.

You got it?

Yes, that's fine. Noah can keep an eye on him. Can't you?

If he's sick, woozy, slurry,

you come and get me straightaway.

-I don't need a baby-sitter.

-I mean it, Luke.

Or I'll watch over you myself.

It's fine. I get it.

Stephanie...

Where were you when this happened?

What, me?

He's not a kid any more. I can't keep watch over him 24-7, Duncan.

So it would seem.

How long's that been Noah's job?

Criticise my parenting when you've actually done some, OK?

Well, I would. But I wasn't given the chance, was I?

Oh, get over yourself!

-I'll be out there.

-No, there's nothing wrong with me.

Hey, where did you rush off to?

-I went to see Lexy.

-And?

Just leave it, Noah, yeah?

Mummy, last night, I had a visit from Caitlin.

Ssh...

-But...

-What have I said about speaking to me when I'm busy?

But I've looked in your diary

and I can't find any other time to speak to you.

Then, don't.

Are you OK?

Get these repugnant things out of my room!

-Sorry.

-Don't!

She's not a morning person.

Where's Cat?

She's not feeling too well, apparently.

You could say. When I saw her,

she was screaming some sort of lunacy about her parents.

-And what did you say to her? What do you know about them?

-Nothing.

Oh, come on. You're practically your mum with the wrinkles peeled off.

You expect me to believe you don't know what's going on round here?

Er, yes. Because I don't.

Then, more fool you.

What are you looking at?

No wonder she's like she is.

Lena won't even let her speak!

What?!

-That's horrible!

-Yuh-huh.

OK, today we're going to look at cultivating plant life

in difficult terrain.

Lexy?

How do you kill plants?

-Where are you going?

-To the cave.

What? And you think it's a good idea to drag him in there?

Well, we won't be dragging him. That'd be a bit weird.

And messy.

Maybe we should, you know, wait until you've got the all clear.

Oh, we could go to the cafe, shoot some pool?

Oh, and AJ's girlfriend's always good for a laugh.

-She's not my girlfriend!

-I'm in.

Wait. I need to get my purse. See you guys there.

Fine...

But if you're going to fuss over someone, try Cat.

She seems more affected by that cave than me.

Ah...

Misting my plants!

You're so sweet!

-Weedkiller?! What are you doing?

-Plants belong outside.

No! Please, Lexy! Not Lucy! Please...

What is all this horrendous girlish shrieking?

-She's taking up all my space!

-She's trying to kill my plants!

Lexy, put down the weedkiller.

Gaia, take them back to your quarters.

But they'll get lonely!

Do not question me!

You may keep one plant. The rest go.

Now!

I know what you're doing.

You're taking your anger at your mum out on me.

No. I'm taking my anger at you out on you.

The way things are here, with you and your mum,

that's not everyone's version of normal. You know that, right?

I mean, me and my dad, we talk all the time.

We don't keep anything from each other.

Just saying.

Go away.

Go away!

Cat?

Cat, I'm not going anywhere until you speak to me.

I managed to copy some of them down, but the rest got smudged.

What do you think they mean?

Don't know.

But whoever drew them clearly didn't have any paper.

I mean, why else would they draw on a cave wall?

Er, maybe to record historical events?

No, you'd just use a computer for that.

Oh...

You found the cave? When?

You never tell me anything!

-I haven't seen you!

-Yeah. He hasn't seen you.

-You never tell her anything!

-Aw!

Wait... I've seen those before.

-Where?

-On this documentary thing.

These explorers found a cave full of these symbols

and they were like, "What are these?"

Turns out the cave was a demon portal.

But it's true! I saw one about a mermaid that'd been washed up, too.

OK. Well, thank you, Mackenzie, er...

..we'll keep it in mind.

Come on, Skink. They've just got imagination deficit disorder.

Where did you find those?

We found the cave. Why?

I've seen them before.

Don't say it.

A documentary, a creepy cave, demon portal...

No. I've seen them for real.

Mummy...

I'm busy.

Caitlin told me she thinks her parents disappeared here

and I was with them.

What did she mean?

Don't be so gullible, Lexy.

Caitlin's obviously just making a joke at your expense.

Of course she is.

I knew there was a reason I didn't like her.

I have work to do.

Hey... I was starting to think you'd made another run for it.

You think the military did that after my parents disappeared?

To stop anyone else getting in?

I don't know.

I thought that finding the cave

would give me the answers I was looking for.

Come on.

So, why were you digging around in that cave in the first place?

Got anything to do with what's going on in that freaky castle?

No, we're looking for some dead teenagers' bones.

We think they're haunting the place.

So, we want to give them a proper burial, finally lay them to rest.

Why didn't you just say?

Me and Skink have literally got hundreds of years

of ghost-hunting under our belts.

Hundreds.

Literally.

If you're looking for bones,

our limited edition divining rods are a scientifically proven success.

Last year, we found a dinosaur bone.

Well, my granny said it was actually a cow's pelvis.

Shut up!

Do you want them or not?

Sure.

Thanks, Mac. I think these will come in very handy.

He called me Mac...

I hate that.

Where did you find this?

It was in Lieutenant Winters' jacket.

Casey's?

Why would Casey have drawings of the cave symbols?

You think he knows something?

Only one way to find out.

Can I have this?

Sure.

BEEPING

Yes.

The materials have arrived.

I still think it's a wasted expense.

But I've told them to begin construction tomorrow.

Hey...

Sorry for laying into you earlier.

But if you can remember anything about Cat's parents disappearing,

she really needs to know.

Oh, so this isn't about me. It's about Caitlin.

Of course it is.

I don't know anything.

I take it back. You're just like the adults.

Open your eyes, Lexy, you're being played.

Really?

Because, from where I'm standing, I'd say that you're being played.

What's that supposed to mean?

Birth certificates.

Apparently, all of us were born here.

Mine's missing. Where is it?

Good question.

Maybe you're going to disappear, too.
