with this old "Farmer's Almanac,"
and it may have rained at some point after dawn,
which is in a few minutes.
Where are you going with this?
Okay, uh, you need to tell Ben that there's
a 50/50 chance it's about to rain, and he needs to...
No, I don't understand any of this stuff!
- You tell him. - He does not want to see me.
I think between talking to his ex
and burning at the stake,
he's gonna choose talking to his ex.

[CROWD CLAMORING]
Hey.
- Hi. - I'm sorry.
- I know that you said... - No, it's totally...
Good, 'cause I have a plan.
- Oh, thank God. - Ian says it's about to rain...
- any minute. - There's been a drought, so...
And the townspeople have no idea it's about to end.
That's brilliant. You're brilliant.
- Do we know the exact time? - We don't.
So you're kind of gonna have to rely on God's grace.
Help!
- Help! - Witch!
- Witch!
- I'm going in. - Wait, you're just...
- you're just going in? - Wait, what are you...
God's grace, right?
It wasn't me, I swear it!
- I didn't do it. - ALL: Witch! Witch!
- I didn't do it. - ALL: Witch!

You came back for me.
You have a friend in Middle Towne yet.
What are you waiting for? Seize them!

No! No!
William, what is the meaning of this?
Let her speak.
I would like to hear what she has to say,
as I'm sure we all would,
had I not been a coward in the court.
Go on then.
Everyone is entitled to their last words.
Thank you.
And I, uh, hope they won't be my last.
There's an affliction in this town.
And it's called fear.
And I get it.
You have no water.
Your friends are all sick.
You're scared.
But this, this is not who you are.
We have decided your fate, witch.
Well, then I say nay!
I say let Heaven decide our fate.
Speak plainly!
Well, if God wants us to burn at the stake, so be it.
But if not,
let it rain!

I will throw you onto the fire myself.

What does this mean?
It means you were wrong.
The magistrate was wrong!
He has misled us!
He should be punished!
Burn him! [CROWD CLAMORING]
No, no, no!
Okay, no more burning people!
Okay?
You need to figure something else out.
Magistrate Bloodborne was right about one thing.
You need to decide what kind of town you're going to be.
The kind of town where you talk about others
or talk to others?
The kind of town where you burn witches
or build something beautiful together?
Okay, seriously, am I the only one who still smells sulfur?
Is... does anyone else smell that?
- I smell it. - So I'm not imagining things?
Okay.
Is this... is it coming from...
Ugh.
Your well has sulfur in it.
Dehydration, fever...
the drought must have caused stagnation
in your water supply.
The well is contaminated!
That's why everyone's been getting sick.
It's not witchcraft.
There is hydrogen sulfide in your water supply.
Will this clean it?
Charcoal, right?
Right.

And unfortunately, that is all the information that I have.
I have a feeling they're gonna be okay.
Hey, so, uh, about us...
Look, I already know.
You don't know everything I'm about to say.

Yeah, okay, that's what I was gonna say.

I'm scared.
That's why I didn't want to work with you anymore.
I'm scared of what it might do to me.
But now I'm more scared
of what shutting you out might do to me.
I don't want to be that bitter, angry guy
who can't talk to his ex.
And I don't know what navigating a friendship

if you feel like you want to try,
will you be my hologram?
