In this episode: Jerri Blank (3), Geoffrey Jellineck (3), Onyx Blackman (3), Chuck Noblet (2), Sara Blank (1)

[Noblet attempts to infiltrate the cult to gain information on where Jerri is.]

[casually] So, what are you selling here?

CMCult member

Flowers. Do you need someone to love you?

[breaking down instantly] Oh God, yes, desperately! I'm so lonely!

CMCult member

Would you like to come with us?

I'll go anywhere you want and do anything you say! Just love me. Oh, I should tell you, I'm a plant. They're watching us. [points to where Blackman, Jellineck and Orlando are hiding] We're looking for Jerri. I'm her teacher and that's her principal - they don't know anything about love.

CMCult member

I don't think you can come with us.

What? No! Please! I need you!

[yelling] Noblet! What are you doing?!

I'm sorry. I just wasn't prepared for that kind of onslaught.

In order to enhance your individuality to conformity, I'm instituting a dress code based on your own requests that I imagine you would have requested had I asked for your requests.

I poisoned all the grain and the water. We'll be ready to kill ourselves when the devil's henchmen come on the day of judgement.

FFather

But that's the only food we have! What are we supposed to eat now?!

All the other only food we have.

[Jellineck attempts to deprogram Jerri.]

Hey, Jerri! I know you're in there. Listen, I have no idea what you went through. I don't have any answers, I'm not acting in your best interests. Why won't you trust me?

I wanna go back! Those people care about me!

Yes, maybe that's true. But do they care about me? I don't think so. Do you see the flaw in your logic now?

No.

Agh! I can't reach her! She's lost in some frightening world that isn't centered around me!

Perhaps Chuck could get through to her. He was in the cult for 45 seconds, he knows.

I'll try, but we'll need to be alone.

All right, everybody out.

[Everybody else exits, leaving Noblet alone with Jerri.]

Thank you. Thank you. [waits until everybody has left, then turns quickly to Jerri] Okay, Jerri, let's go!

Where?

[tugging on her arm] Back to the cult!

How?

[opening the furnace] Through the furnace and then out through the air shaft!

We'll burn to death!

Father will protect us! Where is your faith, woman?!
