Lisey Landon is driving home with her trusty shovel and a police escort when her sister Darla calls.
Some clunky exposition is literally handed to Lisey in the form of a tablet of information about Jim Dooley.
A vicious snowstorm meant that Scott and Lisey were the only people there.
They do just that, and Scott tells them that he has visions.
Dad smacked Paul, Scotts brother, telling Scott that he had to jump to stop the abuse.
And then he turned it up, cutting Paul on the face and threatening to lop off his ear.
Scotts dad mutters and goes on in circles about his kids and letting out the bad.
Now hes sent Lisey on a fateful Bool Hunt as a final gift.
Suddenly, theyre almost on an island, and then transported to a magical place called Sweetheart Hill.
She cant deal with it.
Back in the real(ish) world, Jim Dooley comes back to the Landon homestead.
Shes able to walk and even able to get her hands on some scissors.
(Greenlawn security not great.)
Darla finds her and understandably freaks out.
Lisey is there not much later and tries to coax Amanda back to reality with memories and nicknames.
Its not that easy.
Everyone back on that shore shushes Amanda.
A voice can even be heard over Amandas cries that says, Youre home.
Whats the power there?
And what does it have to do with Amanda?
While they smoke, drink, and chat, Dooley is going through Scotts boxes.
One wonders what he considers his personal Booya Moon.
Lisey Landon senses something is wrong.
Scotts Epilogue
Han!
No crazy driving scenes yet onLiseys Story,but one can dream.
Am I the only one who finds Michael Pitt nearly unrecognizable as the abusive Andrew Landon?
I keep having to remind myself its him.
Lisey reveals that Scott Landon had a name for his most out-there fans: Deep Space Cowboys.
What do you think Stephen King calls his kookiest fans?
You know there must be a similar name.
Speaking of King connections, Dooleys video reveals a few covers that look eerily similar to King book covers.
LandonsProphecy Dyinglooks a lot like KingsCujo, andNight Fortresslooks reminiscent ofNight Watch.
Bet its a short-story collection.
I like the small shovel in the aquarium at Greenlawn thats a nod to Liseys weapon of choice.
I wish the show had more interesting visual flourishes like that one.
