Norman gets into Shelley's room to find her reading some book, she turns away once she sees him but he already walks and sits near.
"The boys are in the chapel." He tells her, she picks up her phone and starts to type.
"Are they going to stop it?"
"Well, they have some ideas." He responds, unsure. "Letha's home and fine.
Your mother... Your mother and I are... Complicated." She looks at him with broken expression. "I'm sorry that it meant lying to you. I've been lying about it so long I almost forgot there was anyone who still believed it, but...
Doesn't make it any less crummy." Then he pauses. "You're a lamp." He says, looking at her. "You shine on people. You're either gonna show what's best in them or what's most crummy." Shelley is like about to cry.
"You always got to see the best of me because there you were lighting the way, so... It's even worse how you had to learn about my shit-heel side, but... That's your tragedy, and... Nothing breaks my heart more. You're always gonna be surrounded by people who don't deserve you." She turns her head to him and they stare at each other for good amount of time.
"Something else I gotta tell you." He starts. "Um... The last victim... It was Jenny Fredericks." She starts to pant frustratingly and her face glows blue. "
I'm sorry, sweetheart." He immediately says. "I-I know what she meant to you." Her tears drop down her face. "Oh, sweetheart." He says as she gets up and walks away. "Shelley." She gets out of her room. "Shelley!" He calls out again and runs behind her when she slams the door behind her. "SHELLEY!" He immediately runs down the stairs, rushing to the opened and gets out. "Shelley!" He gets no response or anything can lead him to where she gone

The teens finally reach the chaple and get into it.
"Are you sure we're safe here?" Christina asks
"As safe as we're gonna be." Peter reassures her as he keeps walking but stops when he sees her still uncomfortable. "Hey." Nothing's gonna hurt you.
I won't let it." He tries again and she smiles comfortably as he walks away.
She follows him and sits down.
"... I'm staying." Christina looks to see Letha speaking with Nellie. "I need to make sure that will be all right, I've promised."
"Nellie?" Christina weakly calls out, making the girl turns her head to her. "Would you please sit next to me?" Nellie slowly smiles to her.
"You just read my mind." Then turns her head to Letha wiping the smile. "Leave!" She grits.
"No I'm staying. What's wrong you today?" She adks her. Nellie frustratingly takes out her jacket.
"As ya like, Aurora." She snaps quietly before going to sit beside Christina and shoves the jaket beside her.
"You know..." Christina starts as he takes off his rings, then she shyly giggles. "I kissed you once." She says making Peter look at her as she still giggles. "It was right when you moved here. It was my first."
"You never told me about that great event." Nellie says monotony, making Christina chuckles.
"I never told anybody that, not even the twins. And neither you, Nellie." Nellie nods. "They lost their virginity the summer before. It was all they ever talked about." Nellie nods again looking at him, before he looks back at Christina who still blurting out. "I wanted the experience. You know, it's what writers do." Peter glances at Roman who starts to light his cig. "That's why I researched how to turn." She says making him stops what he's doing to look at hef shockingly. "But where do you start?" She continues but he still shocked.
