Dina's thrilled when Syd shares she's done the deed with Stanley. Walking Liam home, Syd confronts the bully bothering her brother, much to Liam's dread. At home, Liam, seeking comfort, asks Sydney for a puzzle, which entails a visit to the basement where their father once hung himself and died. The inner turbulence this causes Sydney, with her burbling telekinesis, may or may not have adversely affected Banana the hedgehog, but an invitation to a teen party brings even more agitation when Syd agrees to accompany Stan to homecoming and makes a move on Dina.

Five eclectic student types wind up in detention: good girl Dina, bad girl Jenny, lesbian Sydney, jock Brad and geek Stanley. Syndey's disruption of the library over a strange presence requires Stan and Dino to join in on a cover-up operation (an involved scheme for breaking into Principal Whitaker's office). Jenny tries to engage the others in a variant game of kiss-marry-kill, and Sydney stumbles upon a hurtful secret involving Brad.
Episode 6
Like Father, Like Daughter
Wed, Feb 26, 2020 19 mins
Reviewing surveillance footage of the library does not reveal another presence, as Sydney had hoped, but a presence is still felt. As she slips deeper into paranoia (and at the top of Brad's shit list, now a pariah to his classmates), she, deemed a bad friend and brother, drives both Stanley and Dina away and incurs Liam's disfavor. With the idea of experiencing grief hallucinations, she seeks closure with her dead dad and looks to her basement for clues. Her mother, thereafter, finally reveals some details about Sydney's late father - details with which Sydney can readily identify.
