- Yolanda Montez: Is the devil real?
- Father Thomas: Have you heard him whispering to you? Because we all...
- Yolanda Montez: I think I've seen him.
- Father Thomas: Well, the devil is everywhere, tempting us at every turn. That's what confession is for. But my question is, what did the devil make you do?
- Yolanda Montez: This isn't about me. I mean, it is, but... okay, something terrible has happened. God isn't here on Earth to stop the devil, so... shouldn't we? Because if we don't, more people will get hurt.
- Father Thomas: I'm not sure I understand.
- Yolanda Montez: If I kill something truly evil... can I ever be forgiven?
- Father Thomas: Kill something?
- [suffering a headache, she flashes back to killing Brainwave]
- Father Thomas: What have you done? What have you done? Yolanda?
- Yolanda Montez: The devil is real. And he's in Blue Valley.
- Yolanda Montez: I murdered someone.
- [getting no response]
- Yolanda Montez: Father Thomas?
- Brainwave: [appearing in Thomas' place] Tell me what else you're guilty of.
- Yolanda Montez: No.
- Brainwave: The death of my son... Henry, that was because of you, too.
- [leaving the confession booth, she tries to escape]
- Brainwave: I'll admit, I underestimated you in the moment, but you underestimated me, too.
- [telekinetically blocking her escape route]
- Brainwave: Even now... you can't escape.
- [telekinetically pulling her closer]
- Brainwave: While my body died and you were gloating, standing over me, I sent my mind into yours. I'm a part of you now. I know how much you hate yourself, Yolanda. I've been drowning in your self-loathing for months. Your mind is weak because of it, which is why I'll be in control soon. Your body will be mine to use... and Brainwave will live again... through you.
- [sending a telekinetic blast of energy at her]
- Brainwave: You've made so many bad choices. It's made taking control of your mind so easy.
- Barbara Whitmore: Did Yolanda pick up?
- Courtney Whitmore: [shaking her head] I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys about Brainwave. I know we said no secrets, but it-it didn't feel like it was my secret to tell. And... now I think that was a mistake.
- Barbara Whitmore: I'm sure she didn't have a choice, right?
- Courtney Whitmore: I just wish I knew how to help her. Was this Brainwave or... was it Eclipso? Or was it just in her head?
- Courtney Whitmore: It's been days, Pat.
- Pat Dugan: I know. Eclipso hasn't made a move.
- Courtney Whitmore: No, the Staff, I mean. It's getting better, but it's still so weak. It may have hurt Eclipso, but he hurt it right back. He killed Cindy and Isaac right in front of us. And maybe the Shade, too.
- Pat Dugan: Nothing in the news since then. No deaths, no disappearances.
- Courtney Whitmore: Nothing reported, but how do we really know? I mean... he could've left Blue Valley.
- Pat Dugan: But the weather's only gotten worse.
- Courtney Whitmore: Then why is he still here? He escaped the black diamond, so what does he want now? What could Blue Valley mean to someone like Eclipso?
- Pat Dugan: Whatever the reason, I know it's not good.
- Courtney Whitmore: And you're sure you can't locate Eclipso?
- Beth Chapel: I don't even know how to track him anymore, Court. Summer's not summer. There are clouds and storms moving all over Blue Valley. The trees are bare in July.
- Courtney Whitmore: What about Chuck or Dr. McNider? Has he said anything?
- Beth Chapel: Nothing. I've been trying to reach out, but I don't even know how the goggles connected to him in the first place. If Dr. McNider is alive, Pat thinks the voice I heard could have been Eclipso. After everything that's happened... I'm not sure what's real anymore.
- Courtney Whitmore: Me neither. Well, let's keep looking. Stay safe.
- Beth Chapel: Okay. You, too.
- Principal Harold Sherman: I'm sorry, uh... the lesson was right here, I thought. I haven't taught in so long. I'm still a bit rusty. Until Mr. Deisinger returns, which might be longer than anticipated, I'm afraid, I'll do my best. Okay, um, have you guys talked about the Aztecs yet?
- [the students groan]
- Principal Harold Sherman: Okay, uh, no Aztecs, huh?
- Maria Montez: Courtney?
- Courtney Whitmore: Uh, Mrs. Montez, hi. Um, is Yolanda there?
- Maria Montez: She doesn't want to talk to you.
- Courtney Whitmore: Um... is she okay?
- Maria Montez: It's your influence that has corrupted my daughter. I know it. Stop calling.
- Pat Dugan: [finding Mike freaking out] What is it?
- Mike Dugan: There was leeches. There was leeches. There was leeches, um, on... my arm.
- Pat Dugan: It's okay.
- [seeing an open handkerchief on the table holding shards of the black diamond]
- Pat Dugan: [closing it] Hey... don't touch those. Ever. All right?
- Mike Dugan: Why do you still have them?
- Pat Dugan: The diamond was Eclipso's only weakness before. And I'm hoping it still is.
- Yolanda Montez: I didn't want anything from anyone. I just wanted to be left alone, but you couldn't do that.
- Courtney Whitmore: What?
- Yolanda Montez: Tell me, Courtney. Why did you do it? Why did you choose me? I wasn't supposed to be Wildcat. I wasn't supposed to hurt anyone!
- Courtney Whitmore: Yolanda, I...
- Yolanda Montez: [crying] I'm never putting on that costume again. I quit.
- Pat Dugan: [looking at what's left of S.T.R.I.P.E] Boy, they really did a number on him, huh?
- Mike Dugan: Hey, don't worry about it. We'll get this bad boy back in shape, huh? Now that you brought me aboard the giant robot train after I almost died. Where do you want to start first? The fists? The flamethrower? I had this killer idea that I was thinking about for-for a drill where we could put it on the left side and...
- Pat Dugan: Okay, we'll start with lug nuts.
- [handing Mike a bucket, it's too heavy for him and thuds to the ground]
- Mike Dugan: There's a lot of lug nuts in there.
- Pat Dugan: Welcome to JSA training. Lesson 101, the importance of patience.
- Mike Dugan: How have you stomped the fun out of this already?
- Pat Dugan: [seeing one of S.T.R.I.P.E.'s hands with the fingers folded like devil's horns] Did you do that or did they?
- Yolanda Montez: I don't know if I can do this, Court.
- Beth Chapel: Do what? What's going on?
- Yolanda Montez: [Courtney nods in encouragement] I... I killed Brainwave.
- Rick Tyler: What?
- Beth Chapel: I thought he died when the tunnels caved in on him.
- Courtney Whitmore: I know we said that, and we're sorry, but...
- Yolanda Montez: Brainwave made himself look like Henry. He was talking to me. He was apologizing. But... I knew it wasn't him. So I used my claw... I used my claws and... I watched him die.
- Rick Tyler: Well... I would've killed Brainwave, too, if I had the chance.
- Yolanda Montez: Then why didn't you kill Solomon Grundy?
- Rick Tyler: My hour was up.
- Yolanda Montez: Was it? Or did you just let Grundy go because you couldn't do it? Because you're a better person than me?
- Rick Tyler: Yolanda, you did what you had to do for our team. Right, Beth?
- [turning to her after getting no response]
- Rick Tyler: Beth?
- Beth Chapel: I don't know. I'm sorry.
- Yolanda Montez: Well, I do. None of you are capable of doing what I did. I know what's gonna happen when we find Eclipso. We're gonna have to kill him. So who's gonna do it? You, Rick?
- [to Beth]
- Yolanda Montez: You? Court? No. And I don't want you to. I don't want you to have to life with that guilt... to know that you'll always be a killer in God's eye. So that means it's on me. I'm gonna have to kill Eclipso to save the rest of you. I'm gonna have to be the JSA member that kills.
- Mike Dugan: [trying to loosen one of S.T.R.I.P.E.'s lug nugs] By the time I'm done with this, it won't be Eclipso that kills us. It's gonna be old age.
- Pat Dugan: Well, the thing is, most of the time, this job, it's about working twice as hard on the tedious tasks, just making sure that everything's prepared for when it's needed, okay? And until Eclipso's found, being prepared, it's the only thing we can do. And it's, uh, lefty loosey, righty tighty, okay?
- Mike Dugan: Why don't you just do it?
- Pat Dugan: No, you wanted to learn. That's great, okay? Wax on, wax off.
- Mike Dugan: We gotta wax this thing, too?
- Courtney Whitmore: What happened?
- Yolanda Montez: It's not just the sounds, Court. I see Brainwave now. And Henry.
- Courtney Whitmore: This has to be Eclipso.
- Yolanda Montez: This has been going on long before Eclipso.
- Courtney Whitmore: Hey.
- Yolanda Montez: This is my punishment.
- Courtney Whitmore: For what? No. For protecting yourself?
- Yolanda Montez: Just forget it.
- Courtney Whitmore: Yolanda, no. Please talk to me. I'm here for you.
- Yolanda Montez: You don't get it, anyway. You've never had to make a choice like I did.
- Courtney Whitmore: L-Let's talk to Rick and Beth.
- Yolanda Montez: No.
- Courtney Whitmore: You think you have to face this alone, but you don't. They love you as much as I do, and let's tell them what happened. They'll understand.
- Yolanda Montez: And what if they don't?
- Courtney Whitmore: They will. And then we can face this as a team.
- Rick Tyler: [at Courtney's house] So, why are we meeting here? And where's Pat?
- Courtney Whitmore: Fixing S.T.R.I.P.E. with Mike.
- Rick Tyler: Good. He can stomp on Eclipso like a bug.
