Complete story — includes the ending
The episode starts with a young George floating motionless in a pool. Through flashbacks throughout the episode, we learn that George was pushed by Beth-Ann, a loner who was attempting to impress a group of popular girls. In the present day, George has a new intern named Ethan, whom she abuses to make him like her more--a practice she learned from Mason and Rube. Withholding affection works until she takes it too far. Roxy deals with bad guys on her first day as a cop. Mason reaps an older, naked, man who refuses to pass on until he can attend his own funeral. Daisy counsels her reap, a transgender person who is angry at God. Reggie goes shopping with her mother. At the end of the episode, George reflects on wanting to be liked. She says "When I was ten, something happened to me, and something happened to Beth-Ann Miller. And it changed both of our lives forever." It is then revealed that while floating, two gravelings entered the pool through an underwater vent but decided not to claim her. It is not clear whether she saw them or not before the lifeguards pulled her to safety.
