Everyone eats and Cliff stares at the two

Larry:For God's sake, Cliff, stop staring at the poor kids.

Cliff:So, are the waffles crispy on the outside
and gooey a little bit on the inside with just the right amount of butter?

Zion:They're perfect.

Cliff:Yeah. Try the chicken.

They try the chicken as a figure walks downstairs

Cliff:What's that taste like?

Zion:Crunchy and moist.

Cliff:Oh, God! I used to love fried chicken. I loved to eat, swim, loved to dance. I used to love dancing.

Rachel:Why can't you dance?

Cliff:Oh, forget it. You're young. Nobody's dancing with this.

Rachel:I would.

Zion laughs

Rachel does the robot

Larry laughs

Zion chuckles

Cliff:they can stay.

Rita walks un wearing a red dress

Rita:Sounds like everyone's having fun. I'm so sorry I'm late.

She sits down

Larry:Oh, Rita.

Rita:I was putting myself together. You know, it takes some time.

She grabs a big ass piece of steak

Rita:I hear we have some guests from the outside. How wonderful.

Zion smiles at Rita she nearly drops her food

Rita:Sorry sorry I'm Rita

Zion:I'm Zion that's my sister Rachel.

Rita smiles at Zion who smiles back she gets a shitload of food

Rita:Delighted. I'm famished.

Zion nods

Rita:Thank you. *Cliff hands her a sandwich* My condition requires a particularly high caloric intake. Can you pass the gravy, please?

Zion hands her the gravy

Rita:Thank you.

She pours gravy all over the food

When she runs out she taps it a number a times

Rita begins chowing down

Rita:Well, this is absolutely delicious, Larry.

Larry:Someone kiss the cook.

Rita laughs

Larry:Seriously. Anyone... I'll take it from anyone. Anybody?

Everyone laughs

Larry:All right, no takers.
All right.

Rita begins shaking as her cheek mutilates

Zion:uhhh Rita you got a little...something on your...face

Rachel:Are you okay?

Rita:Uh...

She covers her face

Larry:Rita?

Rita:I...*her voice begins distorting* I should have stayed in bed.

Rachel touched her hand as a flashback of her life ensues

It shows Rita in a padded room then in a beekeeper uniform

Past Rita:Help! Somebody help me! Somebody help me! Somebody...

Rachel takes her hand off

Rachel:It's okay. Were not afraid of you.

Rita removes her hand as she turns normal again

Doors open

Chief:Who is this?

Gar:Chief. Uh, I can explain.

Chief:Later. I have a new patient.

Everyone suits up and walks downstairs

Cliff:Who is she?

Chief:Her name is Shyleen Lao. Cliff, the O2, stat. Close. Rita, run the IV. Gar, my case. Okay. *gar takes out bud case* Larry, any time.

Larry removes the cloth and sees a black skinned woman

Larry:Oh, she's hot. Even for me.

Rita:What happened to her?

Chief:A protest she organized turned violent. A nearby tanker exploded. She was engulfed in liquid nitrogen. The doctors treating her said
there was nothing they could do. But she's a good soul, one worth saving.

Rita:Poor thing.

He injects her with a serum

Chief:This serum should help stabilize her body temperature. Mmm-hmm. There, I think.

The monitors beep

Cliff:What the fuck?

Larry:Chief?

Gar:What's happening?

Chief:Her body is reacting to my serum.

Rita:It's freezing in here.

Chief:She is altering the temperature around us. We need to keep her warm. Blankets!

The girl speaks Vietnamese as Zion and Rachel walk down

Cliff:Hey, uh, does anyone speak whatever that is?

She starts to knock off the blankets and push everyone back

Larry:Hey, hey. You're okay. Deep breath. Just breathe, okay?

Rachel walks up to her and uses her powers her eyes turn black and attain black veins

Rachel(Demon Voice):I can help ease your pain.!I know you're frightened. It's okay.
It's okay.

She calms down as Rachel turns normal

Zion fist bumps his sister

Chief:Get sedation.

Rita goes to grab the sedation

Cliff:And she's stable.

Rachel:She needs to rest.

Back upstairs Chief and Gar talk

Gar:You are risking everything bringing people here. It could destroy this family. Is that what you want?

Gar:No, sir.

Chief:I have only asked for one thing from you over the years. What is it?

Gar:To trust you.

Chief:I'm very disappointed in you, Garfield. Cliff, Larry, and Rita, they cannot go where you can. If we get discovered, they will end up locked away, like Rita once was. Experimented on, tortured. You are an incredibly selfish boy.
Never disobey me again.

Gar:Yes, sir.

Chief sighs

Chief:Garfield, I'm sorry I had to be so stern.
You know how much I care about you and the others, don't you?

Gar nods

Chief:Good. Now, tell me. When this girl touched our new patient, she healed her. What else is she capable of?
