It’s lights out for Port Wenn all because Martin isn’t great at dealing with people on Fox’s Best Medicine episode five. “Hello Darkness My Port Wenn” will air on Tuesday, February 3, 2026 at 8pm ET/PT.
“Hello Darkness My Port Wenn” Plot: While conducting a wellness check on the agoraphobic recluse who controls the town power grid and has stopped taking his meds, Martin’s brusque bedside manner ultimately causes a massive town blackout. As the townspeople fight for electricity, Martin befriends a young boy who reminds him of himself, and Louisa and Mark share a romantic moment in the dark.
Season one stars Josh Charles as Dr. Martin Best, Abigail Spencer (Suits) as Louisa Gavin, Annie Potts (Young Sheldon) as Aunt Sarah, Josh Segarra (Sirens) as Sheriff Mark Mylow, and Cree (Twinless) as Elaine Denton.

The series follows Martin Best (Charles), a brilliant surgeon who abruptly leaves his illustrious career in Boston to become the general practitioner in a quaint East Coast fishing village where he spent summers as a child. Unfortunately, Martin’s blunt and borderline rude bedside manner rubs the quirky, needy locals the wrong way, including schoolteacher Louisa Gavin (Spencer). He quickly alienates the town, even though he’s all they have.
Although Martin can expertly address any medical ailment or mystery in this idiosyncratic town, he’s really just desperate to be left the hell alone. Instead, he keeps getting dragged smack into the middle of their personal chaos, feuds, and fantasies. What the locals don’t know is that Martin’s terse demeanor masks a debilitating new phobia and deep-seated psychological issues that prevent him from experiencing true intimacy with anyone. But tenacity is the creed of everyone in their small village, and the people who live there may be exactly what the doctor ordered.

Paramount+ School Spirits season three, episode three opens with Simon (Kristian Ventura) insisting that he needs to climb down into the hole. He has to try since a living person saw Mr. Martin when he went down there. Whatever’s in the hole could be the reason they’re all stuck inside the school.
(The following is a recap of season three, episode three and contains spoilers.)
Maddie (Peyton List) asks the ghosts for their opinions, and Wally (Milo Manheim) wonders if Mr. Martin is lying. The ghosts don’t think so since he admitted to killing a busload of students. Wally also reminds them that something grabbed Mr. Martin. Maddie’s concerned that Simon isn’t the right one to go into the hole since he’s actually alive and going into the hole might kill him. Mr. Martin was already a ghost when he crawled into it.
Maddie wants to give Xavier (Spencer MacPherson) time to ask the hospital ghosts if they’ve ever heard of a living person getting stuck in the ghost world.
Maddie makes it home late and her mom’s upset. Sandra believes the school isn’t safe and is busy packing a suitcase for them to leave. She insists she won’t let bad things keep happening to Maddie at that school. But Maddie refuses to leave her friends.
Maddie’s confused about how her mom knows she got splattered with paint but doesn’t ask.
School starts and Nicole (Kiara Pichardo) and Claire (Rainbow Wedell) tell Maddie that Livia saw her (actually it was Janet in Maddy’s body) at the college party. They want Maddie to be careful. And Claire fills Nicole in on the best way to get in good with Livia: convince her she hates Claire and Maddie.
Xavier confirms that Kyle found Maddie’s dad and none of the hospital ghosts have ever heard of a living person getting stuck in the afterlife. Xavier offers to help Maddie talk to her dad that afternoon at the hospital.
Principal Hartman (Alex Zahara) tells the gang that they won’t be allowed to go on the senior trip and instead will pull Saturday detention. When Maddie asks, Hartman says he didn’t tell her mom about the incident during the school pictures.
Charley (Nick Pugliese) gently prompts Yuri (Miles Elliot) to open up about his possible grandson. Yuri reveals that he got a girl named Julie pregnant the summer before his senior year. It wasn’t a serious relationship, but Julie called and told him she was in trouble and wanted to talk. Yuri thinks she wanted to keep it. They were going to meet at a record store, but Yuri went into the greenhouse to think first. He was worried about how he could get out of this situation and his anxiety triggered his asthma-and he died.
Yuri doesn’t know what he would have done if he met her at the store. He isn’t positive she kept the baby but believes she really wanted to. Charley acknowledges it’s a lot to take in and wonders if Yuri’s still into girls and guys. It doesn’t really matter; he just wants to know. Charley confesses he thinks Yuri’s into him because there aren’t many options.
Charley’s really shaken by this. His self-esteem is low anyway, and knowing more about Yuri’s sexual life isn’t helping.

Quinn (Ci Hang Ma) and Rhonda (Sarah Yarkin) chat and Quinn realizes that if Mr. Martin hadn’t appeared in front of the bus, she would have just gone home to her mom and dad. Rhonda suggests that she can take her yearbook photo and that Quinn can pick an outfit that matches her new ‘Quinn’ name.
Livia (Erika Swayze) and her minions invite Nicole to their lunch table to see how the photos turned out. Livia loves them and Nicole offers to send her some. Nicole follows Claire’s advice and trash talks Maddie and Nicole, calling them a**holes – among other things. Livia invites her to a party and Nicole agrees to come.
Wally heads outside and finds Mr. Martin trying to clean up the plaque in memory of the bus crash victims. Wally’s certain Mr. Martin’s still hiding things, but Mr. Martin insists he can’t figure out how to send Simon home. When Wally asks who’s going to figure this place out, Mr. Martin replies, “Maybe I’m looking at him.”
Xavier visits the hospital morgue after school and introduces himself to Maddie’s dad, Dave. Dave confesses that he’s afraid he’ll disappoint Maddie and asks Xavier for details about his daughter who he hasn’t talked to in 10 years.
Meanwhile, Simon’s still pissed that no one will help him get home. He finds Wally in class writing a list of reasons to go down the hole and reasons not to try. On the go side, Wally’s listed that Mr. Martin could be wrong. A reason not to go would be that Simon could die.
Wally thinks he’s the one that needs to try it. Maddie would never forgive him for letting Simon die. Simon’s actually happy for the first time since becoming a ghost and cheers on Wally’s decision.
Rhonda and Quinn look around for just the right outfit for Quinn to wear in her class photo.
Wally and Simon uncover the hole and Wally enters it. He falls hard but is okay, assuring Simon that he can’t see anything because it’s too dark. Wally feels his way around and tells Simon that he’s heading further in.
He finds stairs and thinks it might be a house. He’s beginning to get a little freaked out when he steps in water. Hands reach up and grab him, pulling him under as he screams for Simon. He pops up soaking wet in the library near Rhonda and Quinn, accidentally making a custodian fall off a ladder.
Quinn is furious that Wally and Simon would risk someone’s life. Wally tells the gang that after he was pulled under, he popped up in the library and the custodian briefly saw him, which scared him so much that he fell off the ladder. Fortunately, he didn’t die.
Simon insists that, although it was bad, it at least proved that whatever was down there was powerful enough to lift the veil twice. They need to be smart, but they need to try again. Quinn grabs the watch from Simon and Rhonda warns him that he’ll have to go through them first.
Maddie and Xavier head to the morgue, and Xavier says her dad’s caught up on her and Simon. Dave’s waiting for them and Maddie says hi. Dave, through Xavier as the intermediary, says she looks beautiful. Maddie cries, recalling their final day together and that she should have hugged him goodbye. Dave says he loves her and will do everything he can to help Simon get back into the world of the living.
Their talk is cut short when Maddie’s mom texts telling her to come home.
Xavier apologizes for being the one who was the intermediary, thinking it should have been Nicole or Simon. Maddie hugs him, thanking him for making it possible. She’s hugging him when her mom interrupts, demanding that she go home.
Claire helps Nicole get ready for the party, reminding her to keep trash talking her and Maddie. Also, if she gets stuck, she should talk about boys. “Do not under any circumstances talk to Jason,” says Claire.
Nicole’s brother, Diego, wonders what’s up when she’s getting ready for the party and they give him a brief rundown of what’s going on and why Nicole’s going to Livia’s party. After she leaves, Claire and Diego hang out and eat dinner.
Nicole downs a few drinks to get up her courage. Livia and her minions pull her into the house, insisting there’s better drinks inside. She’s kept drinking and now she’s having a rough time following their conversation and remembering what she’s supposed to say. They want all the secrets of what happened to Maddie, and Nicole changes the subject to a boy. She says she’s interested in Jason, which is definitely not what she was supposed to say.
Nicole calls Claire from Livia’s mom’s office, confessing she just screwed up. Claire warns her she needs to leave right now, but Nicole can’t; she’s had three Long Island iced teas. Claire insists she get an Uber and leave.
Nicole’s drunk but not so far gone that she doesn’t realize the paperwork on the desk about the school could be super important. (She didn’t know that Livia’s mom is Superintendent Hunter-Price.) She accidentally wakes up the superintendent’s laptop, and it shows a live stream of different areas of the high school.
Wally finds Simon and wonders what’s in the heavy bag he’s carrying. Simon insists he’s not safe there and doesn’t have time to figure things out. Quinn and Rhonda eavesdrop as Simon says he’s not like the rest of them and doesn’t belong. Quinn tells him he’s wrong, none of them belong there, but she’s not going to stop him. She hands over the watch.
Maddie returns home, finds her mom’s phone, and discovers her mom’s been tracking her movements and reading her texts. Nicole pounds on the door and Maddie steps outside, surprised Nicole’s dressed up. There’s no time to get into that because Nicole has big news. Superintendent Hunter-Price is working with Claire’s stepdad’s company to bulldoze Split River High and build a fancy high-rise. Also, there are cameras all over the school and maybe even all the neighborhoods.

Back at the school, Quinn takes a seat next to Mr. Martin on the bus bench. Quinn assures Mr. Martin the bus accident wasn’t his fault; sometimes bad things just happen. Mr. Martin takes a deep breath…maybe his first in decades.
Quinn finds Rhonda and confesses she forgave Mr. Martin. Also, she doesn’t want to change her outfit. She’s okay with what she’s wearing and just wants to be herself. Rhonda explains that in her day, girls could get into trouble for wearing pants. Clothing was a statement, and for the longest time she didn’t even know what statement she was trying to make. But then she found a club with poets and interesting people and felt like she’d found her place.
She remembers sitting by this woman (special guest star Lizzy McAlpine, a big fan of the series) who offered her a cigarette and made her feel welcome. The woman introduced herself as Joyce and revealed she attends UC Berkeley. Joyce thought Rhonda would fit in there and advised her not to let anyone trick her into thinking she doesn’t have a say.
Joyce took the stage and performed “House of the Rising Sun,” and Rhonda couldn’t take her eyes off her. Rhonda explains it was at that exact moment that she discovered who she could be if she was brave enough.
Rhonda wants that feeling for Quinn, too. They take a photo and of course they don’t appear on the Polaroid.
Simon’s bag is full of ropes, and he promises Wally they’ll walk out of Mr. Martin’s scar together.
Maddie’s mom confesses she got the app to track Maddie because she hasn’t been honest in weeks. Maddie goes through all the drawers and cabinets, looking for alcohol, telling her mom this is how it feels to be spied on. Sandra claims she hasn’t been drinking, but Maddie finds bottles in a box.
Maddie claims it was her mom’s drinking that hurt her and made her want to disappear.
Charley admits that hearing all the people Yuri could be with got to him, and he realizes he made what Yuri’s going through about him. Yuri confesses he never went into his scar and is not sure he’ll ever be ready.
Maddie’s mom packs her bag and announces she’s going to a treatment center.
Simon’s tied to the rope as Wally lowers him down. He’s wearing a light on his head and looks around before heading down the same stairs Wally went down. Simon calls for more rope as he avoids the water and keeps looking around. Simon hears the song Ralph was humming before he disappeared. Suddenly the rope breaks and Simon’s light goes out. A wind kicks up out of nowhere and he sees someone or something in the distance.

Unfortunately for Maddie, the video of her sitting by herself and laughing is getting tons of views and comments as Paramount+’s School Spirits season three, episode two begins. Claire (Rainbow Wedell) and Nicole (Kiara Pichardo) are doing their best to figure out who posted it. Claire believes it was Livia since it makes Maddie look crazy.
(The following is a recap of season three, episode two and contains spoilers.)
Xavier (Spencer MacPherson) and Kyle the ghost discuss the bus crash that killed the marching band. He lived through the crash but died at the hospital and wants to know if his friend, flute player Tracy, made it out alive. Kyle reveals the bus crashed because someone jumped in front of it, not because of black ice. He doesn’t know who it was, but there was definitely someone who was almost roadkill.
Mr. Martin (Josh Zuckerman) is haunted by a vision of a young boy who demands to know what happened to him. (This kid pops up again later in the episode.)
Maddie (Peyton List) believes she’s near the boiler room at school, but when her mom finally gets her attention, she’s actually standing in the kitchen.
Simon (Kristian Ventura) saw snow in Mr. Martin’s scar, but the ghost gang doesn’t understand its significance. Mr. Martin was flipping out, and Simon thinks they need to let him out. Since Janet went through her door, Simon doesn’t seem to have any way to get back to the living. Mr. Martin might be the only one who can send him back.
The conversation turns to all the other ghosts around town, including the ghosts at the hospital. Wally (Milo Manheim) thinks maybe they should round up everyone at school and ask them to go through their scars. That could possibly help Simon get home.
Nicole picks up Maddie for school, and Maddie admits she’s seen the video. They’re going to stop by Simon’s and pick up his iPad before school. Meanwhile, the ghost gang divvy up all the other school ghosts to talk them into going into their scars. Quinn refuses to handle the marching band. It’s a weird reaction, and no one’s sure why she’d refuse.
Claire confronts Livia about the video, and Livia claims she had nothing to do with it. Livia blames Claire’s friends for turning the school into a fortress. She reveals she saw Maddie at a college party and Claire tries to convince her she didn’t. It doesn’t work. Livia saw what she saw.
Maddie retrieves Simon’s iPad from his car and watches as messages from his parents flood the screen. They miss him and want to talk when he has a chance.
Xavier tells Maddie about Kyle and says that he’s recruited him to help to find Maddie’s dad. He also fills her in on the new bus crash info, and Maddie seems to brush it off.
Wally and Simon catch up on the other ghosts’ status, and they haven’t been able to convince anyone. They watch as Livia and her friends look at the video of Maddie on the football field, and Wally follows them into the bathroom. Rhonda (Sarah Yarkin) joins Wally to listen in, and one girl confesses she feels bad for Maddie. Her friends don’t, and Livia even admits she shot the video.
Wally walks into Maddie’s classroom to tell her what he saw, and she does her best to try not to call attention to herself but accidentally says, “Who?” out loud. Maddie writes down “evidence?” and Wally tells her to steal Livia’s phone to prove it.

Charley (Nick Pugliese) and Yuri (Miles Elliot) discuss scars, but Yuri’s distracted and keeps looking at a student.
Maddie heads to the boiler room to meet with Simon, with Nicole and Claire guarding the door.
Xavier visits the hospital morgue where Kyle’s hanging out, and Kyle explains a lot of ghosts like to hang there to play cards or do the dead people’s hair. (Ghosts can visit the morgue because a mortician died there.) Kyle hasn’t found Maddie’s dad yet, and Xavier hasn’t had time to research Tracy.
Xavier brings up the band, explaining that they’re convinced it was ice that caused the crash. Quinn confirmed it, but when Xavier brings up her name, Kyle doesn’t recognize it. There wasn’t a Quinn in the marching band, and Kyle thinks maybe it was Quinn who jumped in front of the bus.
Simon’s upset that the ghosts won’t let Mr. Martin out when Mr. Martin’s probably the only one who can get him home. Maddie reminds him that Mr. Martin is evil. The topic changes to Sabrina—a name his dad mentioned in his texts. Simon’s dad thinks he’s with her, and Simon reveals she’s his older half-sister. They’re both adopted and share the same mother. Maddie’s excited that he has a sister, and Simon confesses he didn’t mention it because he was busy helping the family he already has.
Maddie pauses for a minute and then admits she’s having trouble sleeping and is seeing stuff. But she doesn’t want Simon to be worried about her. Before they part, Simon tells her Janet took her door and is gone.
Principal Hartman finds Maddie in the boiler room and brings her into the office. Charley joins her there, but even though she can’t hear him, he confesses he’s worried about a studly water polo player. He stops talking and listens when Xavier calls Maddie to tell her that Quinn wasn’t in the marching band. Xavier warns her that the ghosts might not be telling the truth.
All the ghosts, except Quinn, gather to discuss what Xavier told Maddie. Charley’s worried she’s on the dark side and is trying to manipulate them, just like Mr. Martin. Rhonda vehemently defends her, refusing to believe she’s lying to them. Wally reminds them that no one has seen her play an instrument.
Quinn’s been missing since breakfast, and Simon thinks maybe she’s hiding in her scar. Rhonda heads out, angry, to find Quinn and get the truth once and for all.
Principal Hartman promises Maddie that he’ll get to the bottom of the video. When he’s ready to call her mom, Maddie lies and says she posted it as a joke because everyone thinks she’s crazy anyway. The principal doesn’t take that well and wonders if the blood in the boiler room was also a stunt. Maddie says it wasn’t and that she still doesn’t remember anything about that.
Charley and Yuri go through the yearbooks and don’t find Quinn’s photo with the band. Rhonda joins them and starts to help but then slams a yearbook shut. She refuses to be part of this because it hurts too much to think Quinn is lying to them.
Wally walks in with Quinn’s instrument case and points out the label’s been removed. Charley and Yuri decide to check the band room for more clues while Wally keeps searching the yearbooks for Quinn’s photo.
Yuri thinks Quinn was a ghost before she was a ghost.

Simon takes the watch to the bus stop and it lights up red. He waves it around to see if anything opens up, but it’s not until he takes a seat on the bench that he’s transported to the day of the bus crash. The dead marching band members are in their seats, and he walks through the bus calling out for Quinn. The dead become ghosts and Simon freaks out and runs away.
Claire and Nicole discuss why Maddie would tell the principal she did the video. (Someone overheard and posted Maddie’s confession.) Nicole’s worried that whoever actually did it might have more video of Maddie. Xavier thinks they should chill out.
Simon tells Wally about the bus crash and that Quinn wasn’t there, describing the aftermath as brutal. Wally grabs the watch and reminds Simon that he promised to keep him safe. He hands him some research to do that’ll keep him away from scars. Simon can’t focus after seeing a drummer with a stop sign staked through his heart.
Simon really wants to free Mr. Martin, making the point that they’re treating Mr. Martin as badly as he treated them.
Maddie’s seated in the library, posing for her senior picture when someone splashes her with red paint. She refuses to go clean herself up and demands the photographer shoot the photo.
Livia couldn’t have done it because she’s standing right next to Maddie.
Nicole’s sure whoever’s behind this won’t stop until Maddie confesses to everything Janet did while in her body. Claire knows it’s not Livia and Nicole insists she’s going to go inside Claire’s old clique to find out who’s responsible. She’s been tortured by these girls forever and knows how to handle them.
Wally finds Maddie in the bathroom and she’s in tears. She confesses she doesn’t know how to live in two worlds; she can’t unsee what she’s seen. Wally wonders if being with him is making it worse and offers to call it quits to help her.
“Wally, nothing about you makes my life worse. Nothing,” says Maddie. She wants him to put a copy of the charm from her necklace on his chain.
Charley finally confronts Yuri, asking who he really is. He quotes New Age poems and keeps staring at the same student. Charley’s jealous because he thinks Yuri’s got a crush on the student. But it turns out Yuri thinks the kid could be his actual grandson. Yuri walks off before offering any details.
Simon visits Mr. Martin to tell him the group has questions.
The ghosts assemble in auto shop and it turns out that’s where Quinn’s been hiding. She says Maddie has given her the courage to be herself. Her real name is Jacqueline, which didn’t fit her personality, and she was always missing on picture day. When Rhonda pulled her from the band, she decided to call herself Quinn—because Quinn’s not a she or a he. Quinn didn’t mean to lie to anyone and thought that for once she was being honest about herself.
Nicole takes photos of the cheerleaders on the field, saying she’s snapping candid shots for the yearbook. She plays into Livia’s ego, requesting that she stay front and center.
The ghosts and Maddie are upset that Simon let Mr. Martin out, but Simon wants answers. Maddie wonders if this has something to do with the bus accident and asks Quinn about it. Quinn doesn’t remember much because she was in the back of the bus, and Simon asks if it was snowing that night.
Rhonda remembers Mr. Martin was the first one on the scene, and Mr. Martin confesses he didn’t move here to teach. He grew up here and used to play with his two best friends, Joe and Ralph, during the summer. Then one day they cut through the graveyard and it got unnaturally dark. Ralph stopped following and they discovered him on the ground, the earth around him burned. Joe left to get help, telling Everett (Mr. Martin) to stay and keep Ralph safe. But right after Joe left, Ralph started humming a song and wouldn’t respond.
Everett ran off. Ralph’s parents and the doctor rushed to the scene and Ralph was gone. No one knew where he went. It’s possible he wandered to the river, but no one knows. Even years later, everyone told Mr. Martin that it wasn’t his fault.
Mr. Martin confesses that years after he died, he heard the song Ralph had been humming. It was coming from underneath the floorboards at the school. He discovered a hole and climbed down into it.
Yuri asks where the hole leads, and Mr. Martin says there are others in this school but they’re not like them. He doesn’t know what was down there and he couldn’t find his way out. Something clawed at his ankle and pulled him underwater. When he finally got loose and came up for air, he was blinded by headlights and caused the bus to crash.
“I followed the music,” says Mr. Martin. Eight students died because of that.
Simon points out that the driver saw him, which means a barrier broke down and made him visible. Mr. Martin apologizes to Quinn for the deaths. He believes that whatever it was that grabbed him might be why so many people die at this school and why Simon got sucked in.
Episode two ends with Simon asking, “How do I get down there?”

Season three of Paramount+’s School Spirits begins seconds after the season two finale. Maddie (Peyton List) returns to her body as it’s being loaded into the ambulance, while her friends search for Simon all over the school.
(The following is a recap of season three, episode one and contains spoilers.)
Wally (Milo Manheim) looks at his door but doesn’t go through it. Meanwhile, Simon (Kristian Ventura) is stuck in the afterlife with Janet (Jess Gabor) and Mr. Martin (Josh Zuckerman). Simon was looking for Maddie when Mr. Martin made him go into his scar. He cut his hand while Janet was trying to pull him out of the room, and the fact he’s bleeding means he’s still alive. The other ghosts have no idea what’s going on.
Maddie’s mom, Sandra (Maria Dizzia), is thrilled to have Maddie awake and responding at the hospital. And Maddie’s still trying to get over the fact Xavier (Spencer MacPherson) talked to her dead dad. Xavier’s own dad doesn’t understand why the school was lit up red and refuses to admit it might have to do with ghosts.
In the land of the dead, Charley (Nick Pugliese) has determined there aren’t any missing ghosts, so Simon isn’t there due to a body swap. That means Simon’s alive in Dead World. Wally makes a joke that doesn’t go over well with Simon, since he thinks Wally’s why Maddie lingered in the ghost world. Janet clears the air, reminding Simon that Maddie stayed to help all the ghosts.
When Janet mentions a greater evil at the school, Simon’s shocked.
Claire (Rainbow Wedell), Nicole (Kiara Pichardo) and Xavier try and figure out what’s up with Simon, and Nicole points out they all know Simon’s stuck in the ghost world—even if they don’t want to admit it. They’re not sure that going to school is safe.
Rhonda (Sarah Yarkin) volunteers to be Simon’s tour guide, since Maddie is one of the good ones and Simon helped while he was among the living.
The ghost group meets and Janet thinks maybe they opened a passageway with their energy since they were all inside the building simultaneously. Simon recalls that Maddie said when you leave school grounds, you get sucked back to where you died—but he’s not dead. Simon races outside to try and leave and is immediately transported back inside. He tells Janet that it feels like he got hit by a freight train, which is super unusual. That doesn’t happen to the ghosts.
Janet refuses to let Simon into the locked room to speak with Mr. Martin, calling him too desperate and evil.
Maddie and her mom leave the hospital, and Sandra wonders why Simon hasn’t come by yet. Maddie’s sidetracked and asks if her dad was alive when he came to the hospital. Sandra confirms he was.
Janet suggests to the group that since gathering in her scar brought Simon through the veil, gathering there again might send him back. Quinn thinks they should wait until all the students are gone so they can’t accidentally bring someone through. That’s a great idea, and Janet suggests they just need to go through the fallout shelter to get to her scar and Mr. Martin’s. The watch that Mr. Martin kept from Janet all those years is probably the original key, and it should open every door.
Simon walks through the school, surrounded by students who don’t see him. He looks out the window as they leave for the day, stuck behind with the ghosts.
Sheriff Baxter (Ian Tracey) and Sandra are driving Maddie home when she orders them to stop in front of the school. She notices the sign for “Wally Clark Park” and runs into the school and through the hallways calling out for Wally, Rhonda, and Charley. She can’t see them, but they see her, indicating she did make it back into her body.
Maddie realizes she needs to be in the auditorium and heads there. She sees Wally and Wally can see her, but they can’t touch. The ghost gang arrives and they’re incredibly happy to see that she’s back and alive. She asks about Simon and learns he’s there but races off to Ms. Field’s classroom before they can tell her he’s in the ghost world.
Maddie can only see them when she’s in an area where someone died, just like Simon. So, it’s not until she enters the classroom that she learns what happened to him. Janet explains they think he’s on their side but still physically alive. Their conversation’s interrupted when Maddie’s mom pulls her away. Simon insists that she go with her mom and assures her they have a plan.
Once they make it home, Maddie apologizes to her mom for running into the school. Maddie claims she’s ready to go back to class tomorrow, and Sandra reminds her that she insisted on finishing school online. Sandra’s still weirded out by how Maddie was acting last week (unaware it was Janet in Maddie’s body), but Maddie insists she’s herself again.
Charley and Yuri (Miles Elliot) spend time alone and Charley’s upset that Yuri saw his scar. It’s humiliating and Charley’s super embarrassed. But when he calls Yuri his boyfriend as he stumbles through his explanation, Yuri tells him nothing that he saw in the scar changes how he feels about him. That’s enough to ease Charley’s mind.
Everyone grabs their keys as they head into the fallout shelter together. Wally assures a very nervous Simon that it’s going to work. Simon waits behind and minutes later, all the lights start flickering.
Meanwhile, Maddie showers and it’s obvious she still isn’t feeling like herself.

The following morning Maddie sees Simon at the school’s bus stop, but Nicole doesn’t see him—which means the plan didn’t work. Maddie says f**k out loud but at least she has Nicole and Claire there, so it doesn’t look like she’s talking to herself when the other students turn to stare.
Simon tells Maddie to just assume he’s nearby while she’s in class.
Everyone’s called into an assembly and the ghosts watch from upstairs. Some of the students whisper about Maddie returning, and Claire doesn’t let them get away with it, absolutely skewering them with embarrassing facts about themselves.
It turns out the assembly is to introduce Dr. Deborah Hunter-Price (Jennifer Tilly), the district superintendent. She calls what happened two nights ago on campus a serious incident, and promises she’ll deal with the offending students. The school will adopt a zero-tolerance policy, and any disruptive behavior won’t be allowed.
She stuns everyone in attendance by announcing they’ll be closing Split River High and building a new campus across town! This class will be the final class to graduate from this campus. Principal Hartman takes over and cancels all off-school lunches and some extracurricular activities. He promises they will be restoring order and that he’ll try and save the school. Dr. Hunter-Price cuts him off and claims the students will love the new school.
“This place is about to get a lot more lonesome,” says Rhonda.
Maddie’s passed a note as the assembly ends and Claire warns her that although it has hearts and a welcome back message, it’s a threat. It’s from Livia, who Claire knows well and the others don’t. Livia’s big trouble.
Principal Hartman pulls Maddie aside and asks about what happened that night. She claims she has memory issues and doesn’t know anything. Maddie yells that she’s going to the greenhouse, unaware that Simon’s right beside her.
In the greenhouse, Maddie fills Simon in on the news that the hospital is just like the school and Xavier saw her dad’s ghost. Simon asks Maddie to get his suspension letter before it’s mailed. And Maddie can use his iPad and send his family messages to cover his absence.
Wally joins them and Maddie apologizes for not being able to stay and talk. He’s heartbroken until Maddie pops back in and says to meet her at the football field after school; it’ll be just the two of them.
Janet confesses to Simon that maybe her decision not to take her door is why Simon is stuck. It might have thrown off the balance. She thinks that if she goes through her door, it could send him back. Janet’s sad and wants to stay, but if there’s a chance of Simon returning to his life, she’s willing to take a leap.
“I can’t be the reason another person is trapped here,” says Janet.
Xavier and Nicole stumble through a request to start an afterschool grave rubbing club to get the clerk away from her desk so they can grab the suspension paperwork.
Maddie meets Wally on the field and he’s such a good guy that he even brought flowers. She can’t touch them, but it’s the thought that counts. She wishes she could hold them, and he wishes he could hold her, but they can’t even touch hands. Maddie wonders what happens now and Wally says that maybe they should consider this a “great summer fling.” When he describes it as an almost love story and one of those what-if relationships, Maddie admits that’s not what she wants. He doesn’t want that either. They both want to try to continue the relationship, and Maddie blames herself for all of this.
Wally lightens the mood by saying it’s all their fault since they could have torn a hole in the universe that night in the AV room. They laugh, and Wally promises he will get Simon back for her.
Mr. Martin is piling up furniture as Janet and Simon enter the room. She demands to be let into her scar, telling him that he’s her key and ordering him to look at her. Janet says he needs to do this for her and Mr. Martin takes her hand. Her room opens and her exit lights up.
Lights flash throughout the school. None of the ghosts knew what Janet had planned, and they’re shocked to see someone’s passing over. Rhonda finds Simon and demands to know what he did. He explains Janet tried to help him and hands Rhonda a note.

The ghost group reads the note and learns that Janet wants them to keep trying and not give up. She claims she’s exactly where she always dreamed she’d be—among the stars. Simon looks lost and defeated.
Xavier visits the hospital and sees a guy he noticed earlier when he was talking to his dad.
Maddie and her mom are still in that awkward, getting-reacquainted stage, but it’s made better by Maddie’s grandmother’s recipe for mac and cheese. They talk about Maddie’s dad since Maddie mentioned him at the hospital, and Maddie realizes that her mom’s really going through things emotionally and mentally. She promises things will return to normal and her mom just wants her to be safe. Maddie knows her dad was her mom’s best friend, and Maddie admits she didn’t realize how hard it was for her back then, losing him.
Nicole and Claire are hanging at night when Nicole receives a text message with a video of Maddie sitting on a bench on the football field, laughing by herself.
Yuri holds a lighter and a note that reads, “Yuri, I promised I would teach you. The secret is in the scars.” He stands outside the greenhouse as it lights up red. He quickly turns and walks away.
Xavier looks around the hospital and enters a room. The guy he saw earlier is a ghost who follows him into the room.
Simon enters Mr. Martin’s scar and demands to know why he’s there and how to leave. Mr. Martin in turn asks to be let out of the furnace room. He claims it’s been waiting for him and then adds it’s been waiting for all of them. He tries to wrestle the watch away from Simon and Simon continues to ask what he’s hiding. Suddenly, ashes rain down on them out of nowhere.
Maddie wakes up in the middle of the night with water dripping on her head. The ceiling looks like it’s about to collapse, and the floor is soaking wet. She walks down a hallway and opens a door to the boiler room where she “died” at the school.

A man runs barefoot and bleeding from what looks like a demon as ABC’s High Potential season two, episode 11 begins. The demon has red eyes and horns, but two bystanders trying to help the fleeing man don’t see anything. The man stumbles into traffic and dies.
(The following is a recap of season two, episode 11 and there are spoilers.)
Detective Adam Karadec (Daniel Sunjata) is surprised to encounter his ex-fiancée Lucia on the street. She’s been moving around but is back in town for now and confirms she met a guy but it “didn’t stick.” They’ve been sort of keeping track of each other via mutual friends. Lucia asks him to grab a coffee and Karadec, for once, decides he can be late for work.
Morgan (Kaitlin Olson) beats him to the crime scene and since he’s never late, her curiosity is piqued. Oz (Deniz Akdeniz) and Daphne (Javicia Leslie) have interviewed the driver and learned the man ran into traffic. The driver couldn’t avoid hitting him.
Morgan’s already figured out the man was poisoned, which is why he was seeing demons. There’s black vomit on the sidewalk and on the victim’s shirt, and it smells like rotten eggs. It’s activated charcoal, which releases hydrogen sulfide—thus the disgusting smell.
Morgan and Karadec track the man’s footprints as Karadec confesses that he ran into his ex-fiancée. He claims it’s no big deal that they had coffee together, and Morgan refuses to let it drop. She’ll circle back to it later, because now they need to look around the dead man’s apartment. His ID shows his name is Declan Harker and his apartment shows signs of being ransacked.
Morgan notices he has a gamer chair, gloves, and a magazine nearby that shows he’s a professional gamer. The computer’s missing so whoever poisoned him might have taken it.
As they’re looking around, Declan’s ex-girlfriend, Aditi, arrives with an audio recording from that morning. Declan asked her for help and said he killed someone over and over again, and now that person wants to kill him.
Back at the station, Karadec tells Lt. Selena Soto (Judy Reyes) that they believe someone from the game Battle Dynasty killed Declan because he kept killing the person’s character. Game violence spilled over to real life. Karadec reveals there were traces of blood on a food delivery. The blood isn’t Declan’s.
Aditi and Declan met online in the game before meeting in person. They hit it off, but then suddenly he ghosted her last year after quitting gaming. She doesn’t know why. Then last month he returned to the game. They were making plans to meet again when he was murdered.
Aditi confirms he got rid of his computer when he quit gaming but did have a laptop as a backup. She and Declan share a Find My Tech account and Karadec, Morgan, and Daphne head to the laptop’s location—a parking lot. They’re just beginning to look through car windows when Lucia texts Karadec. Morgan tells him he needs to answer it, but he refuses because he’s busy working. Morgan warns Karadec that she doesn’t want him to destroy the relationship before it has a chance to rekindle.
Daphne spots a car with asphalt-caked tires and recalls a street near Declan’s place was undergoing repaving. Instead of taking normal police investigative steps, Morgan makes the car horn go off. The man who owns it emerges from the building and he’s wearing a Jubilee Games shirt. He claims it’s not his car, but Morgan has him use his key fob and the alarm turns off.
Declan’s laptop is in the trunk, and he reveals he’s a senior game developer. Declan was a top player, but the Jubilee employee didn’t take the laptop to comb through his gaming data. He’s shocked Declan’s dead and admits he and Declan fought the night before Declan was killed.
Daphne looks through the laptop and finds Declan’s account had a $100k in crypto balance. The Jubilee guy admits that Declan was addicted to the game. Declan’s physical and mental state were deteriorating, and he helped Declan quit the game a year ago. He also introduced him to Gamers Anonymous. The reason he doesn’t want his boss to know he helped Declan is that Declan had begun helping other gamers also quit playing.
He noticed that Declan was playing again, because that’s what addicts do, so he went to Declan’s place. They got into an argument, and he wound up taking Declan’s laptop. He stayed for an hour and left around 3am. Declan claimed he just needed to finish one mission and he’d stop.
The Jubilee guy offers to help them figure out who Declan was killing over and over again.

Back at the station, the team goes over Declan’s play logs and watches him repeatedly killing a player. Declan’s character Beast Slayer kept killing an orc named Drednog, and Drednog was pissed. He sent messages to Declan telling him to knock it off or he’d come after him with a gun.
Jubilee determines Drednog’s account info is fake, and it looks like he’s been playing at cybercafes. As Karadec’s heading out, Selena suggests that he should try again with Lucia. She thinks he’s different now and with Morgan as a partner, he even leaves the office earlier than he used to when he and Lucia were dating.
Elliot’s playing a video game when Morgan checks on him in bed. She’s shocked to discover he plays Battle Dynasty and warns him that with their brains they obsess over things – like video games. Elliot claims that he’s not obsessing; he’s just using it as a palette cleanser before bed.
They discuss the chat and how someone wrote they will “plant” him. Elliot explains that since the game is worldwide, the chat translated the word “farm” to plant. The translation makes mistakes sometimes, which means the threat of a gun might have been something else.
Morgan arrives at work the next morning and announces that 12.6 million play Battle Dynasty every day. The game’s chat translator isn’t reliable. The Japanese word “teppo” can mean “gun” or “puffer fish.” The guy in the chat was threatening Declan with puffer fish toxin.
Morgan already had the lab test for puffer fish toxin and it came back positive. One drop causes hallucination, vomiting, and death. People can eat puffer fish without dying, but sushi chefs must go through a two-year training process to learn to remove the poison. So, only a handful of sushi chefs in the area probably serve it.
Morgan and Karadec visit a restaurant that employs a chef trained in preparing puffer fish. Only three chefs in the area are certified and one was employed by a restaurant that is closed. The other is a childless elderly man. That narrows their search down to this restaurant.
Karadec asks if the chef, Mr. Yasuda, if he has kids with access to his puffer fish. Mr. Yasuda has two sons but the pieces of puffer fish with poison wouldn’t be accessible to them. The parts are kept in a locked container until they can be destroyed.
Mr. Yasuda shows them the locked container and reveals he keeps a remedy on hand, just in case of an accident. He follows the law to the letter. Morgan notices an employee and deduces he’s not just the chef’s son, Jin; he’s also featured on a poster at the video game company’s headquarters. However, Mr. Yasuda says the gamer is his other son, Ryo.
His sons are twins, but the chef swears Ryo couldn’t be responsible for Declan’s death. However, although Jin’s a hard worker, Ryo only cares about his game. He feels like he lost Ryo to the video games. Karadec promises to do what they can to help but Ryo is the most likely suspect.

Oz and Daphne head to a cybercafé to talk to Ryo. He confirms one of his characters is Drednog and he knows Beast Slayer/Declan Harker. They take him to the station for an interrogation and his father joins Karadec and Selena to discuss Declan’s murder.
Without being asked, Ryo says he didn’t know Declan in real life. Karadec explains they found blood at the scene and Ryo does have a cut on his finger. Karadec presents a court order for Ryo’s DNA and Selena reveals they discovered a connection between Declan and Mr. Yasuda. Declan’s $100k of crypto in his computer traces back to Mr. Yasuda. It appears Mr. Yasuda was paying Declan to kill Ryo’s characters to get Ryo to quit gaming.
Selena and Karadec also discovered Mr. Yasuda met Declan at a Gamers Anonymous meeting. That’s where he asked for Declan’s help. But Ryo didn’t quit gaming. Instead, he became so angry that he followed the delivery guy from Teter’s Tacos and waited for the delivery guy to leave the bag at the door. Then he placed puffer fish poison in the burrito, leaving a spot of blood from cutting his finger on the receipt’s staple.
The lab results come back and the blood isn’t Ryo’s, but it is a 90% match. It turns out Ryo isn’t the killer; his twin, Jin, is!
Cops can’t find Jin and his bike’s missing. Ryo’s still at the station when Jin calls him. Ryo puts the phone on speaker, and the detectives hear Jin say he messed up bad. Selena offers to send a car to pick him up, and Jin confesses he left the poison because he thought that’s what Ryo wanted him to do. He hangs up after saying he loves Ryo and hopes their dad can forgive him.
Ryo thinks Jin might have gone to the Hollywood Reservoir.
Morgan and Ryo stay at the station as Karadec, Daphne, and Oz head to the reservoir with backup. Morgan wonders why he and his brother don’t hang out anymore, and Ryo believes they just became different people. Ryo feels horrible that Jin would have done this for him.
Ryo spills his almond milk and removes his sweatshirt, and Morgan notices a large birthmark on his arm.
Karadec calls in with an update. They found Jin’s bike in the center of the walkway. It appears he jumped into the reservoir. If he did, his body probably won’t be retrieved.
Ryo disappears while Morgan and Selena are speaking with Karadec. Morgan’s spidey senses are tingling and she believes she’s put together pieces that add up to a bizarre plot twist.
Morgan walks Selena through what she’s figured out. Ryo absorbed his twin as an embryo and has two sets of DNA. (It’s called chimerism.) The result can be large birthmarks and food allergies, as well as cheek DNA that’s different from blood DNA.
Morgan believes there’s only one son, even though she’s seen a photo album with two different boys. She thinks the desperate dad and son set this whole thing up to blame a son who doesn’t exist.
Karadec and Morgan confront Mr. Yasuda with the results of their lab’s analysis of the photo album. They determined the photos were digitally manipulated and that Mr. Yasuda has been doing this for Ryo’s entire life. He’s had Ryo pose as Jin since he was a kid.
Morgan spoke with his ex-wife and knows he was devastated when a twin didn’t survive. She also informed them that her ex-husband always blamed Ryo for killing his twin and that he’s never stopped grieving.
Ryo became a gamer to be free of his dad’s control. When his dad paid Declan to try and get him to stop gaming, Ryo became angry and poisoned him. Mr. Yasuda realized what happened, grabbed the charcoal remedy, and tried to save Declan. It didn’t work. He and Declan fought right before Declan ran into traffic.
Ryo didn’t know his father hired Declan. When his dad rushed home from Declan’s place, Ryo agreed to the cover-up. They tried to make Ryo disappear completely into Jin. That might have worked if Ryo hadn’t gone back to the cybercafé and been picked up for questioning.
Ryo recorded the phone call from Jin on his dad’s phone. That recording was played at the station as if Jin was confessing. The phone records confirm all this, and that the sous-chef from the restaurant planted the bike at the reservoir. The sous-chef is cooperating and Ryo was picked up in his basement.
Ryo’s brought in and his dad apologizes. They cry, and Ryo’s dad hugs him.
Declan’s ex stages a funeral for him in the game.
Just as the day’s wrapping up, Lucia arrives at the station. Karadec’s decided to take Morgan and Selena’s advice and give it another shot. Morgan’s all smiles as she introduces herself. Karadec rushes her away before Morgan can ask questions.
The episode ends with Morgan looking wistful as she watches Karadec and Lucia walk away.

The trailer for HBO’s new late-night series Neighbors teases a wild and wacky look at real neighbors who push the limits and cause problems. The six-episode season from A24 and the producers of Marty Supreme will premiere on February 13, 2026.
New episodes air on Fridays at 9pm ET/PT.
HBO’s synopsis reads: “Neighbors examines stories of absurd, outrageous, and dramatic real-life residential conflicts from a wide range of larger-than-life characters across the United States, opening a verité portal into the lives of contemporary Americans. Each episode introduces a new set of neighbors in the heat of their grievances, uncovering spirited disputes about property lines, animal ownership, and even a yellow Speedo.
Directors and emerging talents Harrison Fishman and Dylan Redford filmed for over two years, traveling across the country and fully immersing themselves in these neighbors’ lives to capture an unfiltered and intimate portrait of everyday people and document the fundamentally American pursuits of life, liberty, and property.”

In a Q&A promoting the series, executive producers/directors Dylan Redford and Harrison Fishman explained the appeal of a series focusing on neighborhood disputes.
“Neighbor relationships are really interesting. Neighbors aren’t family or friends, nor can you pick them. There is a cosmic random destiny to what brings two people to live next to each other. These seemingly different people can have surprising similarities. It is something like a chemical reaction when these people come together—with an outcome you can’t predict.
We have been obsessed with videos of people in conflict online for a long time. A few years ago, Harrison’s brother, Sam, started sharing neighbor-to-neighbor fight videos from around the country with us. They were fascinating, gripping, unfiltered, and honest. The conflict, no matter how small, always felt so big.
Everyone has a phone with a video camera constantly documenting their lives, surveilling the people around them. On top of that, there’s no formal way for law enforcement to handle neighbor disputes other than suggesting you document everything. So, whether it’s for social clout or a civil case, whoever holds the camera holds the power, ‘if I filmed it, I must be right.’ They often film for proof and accountability. But more often than not, like body camera or surveillance footage, these videos raise more questions than they answer.”
Additional executive producers include A24, Josh Safdie, Eli Bush, Ronald Bronstein, and JP Lopez Ali for Central Pictures.
