***The following is a detailed recap of episode 405 of FROM, “Whaat a Long Strange Trip It's Been,” and it contains spoilers for the episode.***
At the settlement, everyone stands around staring at what has risen from the lake. Donna suggests they pull whatever it is in. Roger is skeptical and says they all should get a say. Donna responds that they need to sleep there. Even if they left now, they’d never make it back before dark. She’d feel a whole lot better knowing who or what floated to the surface. The others agree with her so they pull it in. Whatever it is, is covered in seaweed.
Elsewhere, Ethan wraps and buries the dead bird telling it he’s sorry they couldn’t save it. He really wanted it to be the Lake of Tears. He asks his mother if they will be okay, and she says she hopes so.
Meanwhile, Jade stares out the window at the motel sign which has changed and is lit up saying “this way.” He calls Boyd, telling him the mushrooms kicked in. Then he sees spiders crawling on the window glass and then over him, but Boyd snaps him out of it, as nothing is there. Boyd tells him that maybe they should go see Kristi, but he says he has to do it, but he needs Boyd to be his anchor, his guide, to tell him what is real and what isn’t. He says they need a safe word that will bring him back if things go off the rails and he chooses Capricorn then says, “Let’s go get weird.” He goes outside and walks in the direction the sign points and Boyd follows.
Sophia pretends to be scared as Kristi and Marielle set her arm. Marielle goes to the ambulance to get the brace. Julie and Randall are on the way into the clinic and Marielle comments she likes Julie’s haircut and Randall tells her it’s a long story.
