Previously on Midnight Texas...
The veil between Hell and Midnight is fraying.
There's a prophecy.
"An army will rise to battle the evil
"and seal the veil forever."
I know how to kill Colconnar.
So you intend to be possessed
by multiple demonic spirits?
This is over.
You're safe. We all are.
Vampire blood's not good for humans,
but I could not lose you, Olivia.
It's time to exchange the rings.
- Love you. - I love you, too.
I want another century or two with you.
Wanna go?
As long as we come back before the cake.
Being possessed by demons could have side effects.
The new owners of the hotel.
This will completely revitalize Midnight.
That's one way to put it.
Morning, sunshine. Here you go.
Thank you.
Did you have another bad dream? Yeah.
Do you think maybe it's time for you to invest
in a new pillow, or maybe start taking melatonin?
Yeah, or stop eating burritos before bed.
Or maybe it's time for a change.
I've been taking stock lately.
Yeah, dodging the apocalypse will make you do that.
Yeah, and since I've had time to breathe now
and think about Connor and my dad...
I'm not sure that staying in Midnight
is the best thing for me.
You know how much I love you, right? Of course. I love you, too.
And I really care about this town, and everybody in it.
But I don't wanna be serving patty melts forever.
Yeah. Um...
So, um...
I applied to Bison's writing program.
And it's such a long shot,
I probably won't even get in, but if I do,
I want you to come with me.
That's a no.
Home is wherever you are.
Your nose is bleeding.
Sex magic's pretty hot?
Beyond. You got skills, girl.
To think a mere two months ago I was pure as snow.
How many frequentflier miles do you think we banked?
I think we're probably approaching elite status.
I bet I can get us over the hump.
Honey? I'm home.
How was your hit?
Killer.
Good morning, wife.
Good night, husband.
How's the yoga?
You know, I'm keeping my demons at bay.
Think evil's finally taking a break from Midnight?
Babe, you just jinxed it.
Take it...
Manfred.
Manfred!
Do you want a refill?
Sorry.
Yes. Yes, lots.
Food's not nearly as good as Madonna's. I know.
I hope she's having fun on her cruise while we all starve.
That's like a hockey puck.
Hate to disrupt our tasty breakfast.
But we have business to discuss.
Dug up some information on the hotel renovation.
Not sure why the cone of silence,
but they didn't have a website until yesterday.
And now it's some sort of sparetreat thing called...
Crystal Desert. That is my territory.
Sorry, Fij.
And get this.
They're fully booked for the next month.
Why so suspicious? Have you met Olivia?
Why would anyone wanna visit Midnight?
I mean, it's not exactly a tourist destination.
Because of him.
Healer Kai.
Has a huge following of the desperate and delusional.
Well, if it quacks like a cult...
How do you know he's not legit?
He's wearing Lululemon.
You okay? You're quiet.
I haven't been sleeping well.
But don't worry abut the hotel.
It'll be out of business in three months, tops.
Ghosts.
Saw them when they started the renovation.
Haunted hotels don't exactly rate well on Yelp.
Yeah, well, ghosts or not,
the eight of us are going to that grand opening.
Hey, babe.
You know what I would kill for?
That.
Exactly that.
Well, I have to admit,
this whole psychic connection doesn't suck.
One of the benefits of drinking my blood.
How long did you say it would last?
Till death do us part.
Well, I didn't think I was the marrying type.
But isn't this what every woman wants?
For their man to know her needs and desires
before she even does?
But you're not every woman.
True.
Ooh! Guess you knew I needed that, too.
You're in trouble now, ain't you, Manny?
Grandma?
Grandma. That really you? Sure is, Manny.
I'd hug you real big, if I could.
I thought you'd crossed over.
I did. That's why I look so good.
Was resting in peace, finally.
And it was real nice, too.
A home without wheels.
Rosé all day.
Canasta with Tammy Wynette.
Then I heard about this.
I don't get it.
Why at night?
During the day, I'm fine.
Well, mostly fine.
Lately I've been having some urges.
Let's just say I shouldn't mix loved ones and sharp objects.
So the graves are for your friends?
Eight of them.
Guessing one for each Midnighter.
Well, if that's the case,
then you should go back to town and tell everyone.
No. No, I just got them to trust me.
There... There's no way I can tell them about this.
Okay, fine.
When did it start?
Well, I thought they were just dreams until the other night.
And the dreams started right after Colconnar.
You mean after your demon gang bang?
It wasn't a gang bang, Grandma.
Don't be embarrassed, son.
You swallowed six whole demons.
Took them like a champ!
It's a point of pride, if you ask me.
Can we please stop talking about this?
The point is, maybe there's a straggler.
If you're still possessed,
that holy water will burn your fingerprints right off.
Great. That all?
Okay.
You're spick and span, son.
So if I'm not still possessed,
then what the hell is it?
Hey. Hi, you.
Great timing.
Hipsters. In Midnight.
And I thought Colconnar was bad.
Let's try and keep an open mind.
Feel that?
The breeze, or the pretension?
The energy.
It's incredible.
Are you kidding me?
They're charging ten times what I do.
You're in the crystal business, too?
No... Yep. What?
I'm...
Fiji owns the Inquiring Mind.
Hi, I'm Creek, by the way.
This is Olivia
and the Reverend Emilio Sheehan.
Please, call me "Rev."
Hello. I'm Patience Lucero.
My husband, Kai, and I own the hotel.
Y'all are very lucky.
Midnight is a special place.
Yes, it is.
You know, I'm just curious...
Why here?
Sleepy little town, no freeway exit.
It seems like an odd place to buy a hotel.
To be honest, darling, before this,
we kind of functioned as a traveling circus.
Going from town to town, healing people.
But it was exhausting.
Not to mention draining on Kai.
So we decided that we needed to find a spiritual center
that we could call home.
Rent too high in Sedona?
Sedona doesn't hold a candle to the energy in Midnight.
Can't argue with that.
I gotta get out of here.
Work.
Hidden platform.
Welcome.
And thank you, all of you, for coming.
Today's... It's truly an astonishing day.
This is the realization of a lifelong dream.
A dream of helping people...
Healer Kai.
Make me walk, please.
My daughter's getting married next month.
To walk her down the aisle...
I'm... I'm sorry.
I'd give anything. I'm sorry, sir.
We'd be happy to schedule you an appointment later
in the week, but... Patience, Patience, it's...
- Kai... - It's all right.
Enter the pool.
No, out of your chair and on your own.
Do you believe?
Yes, I do.
All right, now get up.
Okay...
Wow.
Yes, yes!
Rejoice!
You are healed, brother!
Amazing. Yes.
- Yes! - Yes, yes.
Thank you.
If I'm not still possessed,
then it's gotta be a side effect from it.
It's a good thing I was a pack rat
and kept all these journals.
Lord knows our family's had its fair share
of runins with demons.
Sun's going down.
I know.
Bad things happen when night falls.
I know.
- Hey, Creek. - Hey.
I hate to say it, but I don't trust you around that girl.
Me, neither.
Hey, you're a natural.
Yeah. Bartending suits me.
At least until I figure out what I wanna do
for the next thousand years.
Come on, you like what you see here, come on.
Stop!
Lem.
Get out of here.
First, let me...
Come on. Just a little bit.
Let's go.
Get him out of here.
I tell you, between the pawn shop and here,
you gotta be the hardest working man in Midnight.
I still can't believe you took a watering hole
for Nazis and turned it into Cheers.
Well, I got a witch as a girlfriend now.
Gotta walk the walk.
So, I have a surprise.
It's a key to my place.
Whoa.
Too soon?
Heck no.
I was wondering what you been waiting for.
It's... The time just feels right.
Chuy, he's a con man.
And that guy in a wheelchair, he's obviously a paid actor.
It's the oldest trick in the book.
So he's a con man.
But maybe he's a harmless one.
No such thing.
People don't just settle down in Midnight.
They come here when they're running from someone
or they got something to hide.
Watch where you're going, pal.
Wanna take this outside, friend?
I am not your friend.
Thought I just got rid of you.
Come on!
Get out and stay out.
Let go. Hey!
I'm not so sure what good getting tanked's gonna do you.
Trust me.
911. What's your emergency?
Yeah, I'd like to report a naked drunk guy
outside the Cartoon Saloon.
There isn't any naked drunk guy.
There will be in a minute.
Gotta admit, not a bad plan.
Creek.
Creek?
My God.
What did I do?
Where the hell have you been?
I left for work at 5:30 this morning
and you weren't back yet.
I ended up in the drunk tank in Davy.
Blame Bobo's TwoforOne Tuesdays.
What is going on with you, Manfred?
Lately, you're not you.
Nothing's going on. I was just drunk.
And it's not gonna happen again.
I promise.
I wanna believe you.
Really, I do.
Because honestly, I'm over the drama.
I'm over the lies.
I've had enough to last a lifetime.
Um...
Is this about Austin?
Because if you have changed your mind,
I would understand that.
Take it...
Manfred.
No, it's not about Austin.
Austin sounds great.
Do you... Do you mind
if we just talk about it later, though?
I think I need to lie down.
I'm still kind of hungover.
Buckle your belt, hon.
You're about to experience
the healing wonders of crystals.
Can't hardly wait.
All right.
Enjoy.
Can you even believe this?
This incredible place we've found...
This can be home for us right here.
A long road to get here, but we finally made it.
I only ask this. Please just give me strength.
Any leads?
Not really.
Unless I wanna know how to curse someone with gout.
Interesting.
Eww. That's...
Exactly what's happening to me.
Uncle Barney?
Time for a family reunion.
Hate to break it to you,
but even if you survive the possession,
it comes at a cost.
What's with the black crap? Demon residue.
Left untreated, it takes over the body, cell by cell.
So, demonic cancer?
Once it reaches the brain, you start hallucinating.
And before long, you lose your mind.
Okay.
How do I stop it?
Put a bullet through your brain.
Before you put one through someone else's.
I like it.
Damn it.
What?
Someone broke in.
The money still there?
Yep. All of it.
What the hell they take, then?
I'm screwed.
Demon cancer.
What the hell is that? Your booty.
After you got out of the drunk tank,
you broke into the pawn shop.
That's how I cut my hand.
Maybe it is time to tell everyone.
Or you could just give in to temptation.
Might feel good to just let it out.
I'd start with Creek.
That skinny little thing will be easy to take out.
Wait, wait, wait.
This house is inhospitable to the dead.
How are you here?
You're not really here, are you?
I'm hallucinating, aren't I?
It's too late, isn't it?
You always were a smart boy, Manny.
It's not every day a demon like me
gets to take out an angel.
Hey, man, I'm not looking for any trouble.
Well, too bad. 'Cause I am.
You're making this way too easy for me.
Look. It's a party.
Now, that ain't a fair fight.
You mind if I join you?
Well, I'll be damned.
Never thought I'd be in the trenches
with the legendary Joe Strong.
I know you? Just a fan of your work.
Name's Walker. Demon hunter.
Are you human? Yep.
Made it myself.
Pleasure to make your acquaintance.
Likewise.
Where do you think you're going?
Just running out to the store. We're out of milk.
Don't you wanna talk about Austin?
Manfred? What has gotten into you?
I don't know, I just have this...
This overwhelming desire to cut you!
So sorry to burst your bubble about moving to the big city.
But, you know, you probably would have
ended up a waitress.
Again.
Just serving frito pies to Dbags
and writing crappy poetry that no one wants to read.
I did you a favor.
This isn't you.
But it is.
One haunted katana. Check that.
There's no missing samurai swords.
Moving on to Civil War memorabilia.
What's wrong?
Creek! My goddess.
Creek?
Manfred!
No one's here.
Okay, tell me what happened again.
We got into a fight
and she hitched a ride to Blanco Canyon.
She was acting crazy.
Doesn't sound like Creek.
Well, I'm telling you, she's not herself.
Creek?
Where are you?
Babe, are you okay?
So, she ran away to the middle of nowhere.
Doesn't make any sense. Trust me.
A lot of what Creek did tonight
doesn't make sense.
Wait. Did you hear that?
What's going on?
Where's Creek?
Cute knife.
It won't be so cute when it crushes your trachea.
I'm claustrophobic, you dick!
Looking for these?
Let go of me! Let go of me!
Get off of me!
Thank you. Anyhow...
How did you know?
Psychic connection. Olivia's in danger.
He got Olivia, too?
He got lucky.
Any foul or evil force may now and forever
return to its source.
Witch!
You don't know any other spells?
There's not really a spell for this.
I wouldn't have even recognized it as demon residue
if it wasn't for Colconnar.
I could research. But that would take time.
We don't have time! Look at him.
Manfred? Manfred.
If you're in there at all,
I just want you to know that I love you.
You have to kill me.
Do it. Before I kill you.
Please.
Kill me!
Now! Now!
Now!
No one's killing anyone.
What are they doing here?
I can help.
Don't tell me you drank the KoolAid.
I know you have doubts.
But when I walked into Crystal Desert,
I sensed it was a special place,
that Kai was special.
I just believed,
and I think with an open mind, you can, too.
You have no idea what you're dealing with.
And you have no idea what I've dealt with.
Your friend is afflicted.
And I'm afraid if I don't step in, he may die.
Let me help you.
Be at peace. Be at peace, brother.
Baby, you okay?
And so it is done.
I don't know what to say.
Or how to thank you.
I mean, I was gonna die.
And you saved my life,
and theirs.
Well, you let us help, and that's thanks enough.
Kai's right.
We're just happy to be a part of Midnight
and call this place our home.
Well, you certainly earned it.
I hate to admit it, but you're the real deal.
And you guys, I put you all in danger.
I lied to you.
I betrayed your trust.
Which took me so long to earn.
Because I didn't want to mess it up.
But I was wrong.
And I get it if you don't ever wanna talk to me again.
Manfred.
You're not to blame.
You weren't exactly yourself.
Trust me. I understand.
I don't deserve your forgiveness.
The only reason this happened
is because you tried to save us from Colconnar.
Just next time, just... You come to us.
No "next time," please.
Where did Creek go?
What's going on?
Um...
I'm going to Austin. Okay.
But I thought we said
we'd talk about it some more first.
See if you got into the program.
Yeah, at this point, it doesn't even matter.
I just gotta get out of here.
Austin it is.
I've been wanting to see those bats on South Congress.
You know, ordinary bats that don't turn into vampires.
Manfred, stop.
Why? I wanna go.
I told you. Home is wherever you are.
I don't want you to come.
I'm done.
There's only so much that a person can take
until they've reached their limit,
and I've reached my limit, with Midnight...
And with you.
But I'm fine now.
I promise, I'm fine.
How can you know that?
No, that wasn't me. Okay?
I would never hurt you.
You gotta believe that.
I... I've just...
I've witnessed too much violence
and I've had too much fear.
And I'm sorry, but Kai can't just kiss it better.
I have to leave Midnight, and I have to do it alone.
But I love you.
Then let me go.
It's a big step. I know.
Hear it's the gateway to marriage, babies,
living happily ever after.
You want all that?
Why wouldn't I?
You're my soul mate, Fiji Cavanaugh.
And you're mine, Bobo Winthrop.
Come here, you.
Welcome home.
I will avenge you.
