THE THREE APPROACH THE CHEST ANTICIPATING ANOTHER CARD, A DIFFERENT MYSTERY. JESSA PAUSES THE GROUPS FROM ANY FURTHER DECISION AND MAKES A CASE FOR NO ONE ELSE WEARING THE CHAINMAIL. AARON WHO OFTEN LIKES TO PLAY DEVIL'S ADVOCATE SUGGESTS SEEING WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IF SOMEONE ELSE WEARS THE CHAINMAIL. KELLY SEEMS HESITANT ABOUT EITHER CHOICE AND DEFERS TO AARON AND JESSA FOR THE PATH FORWARD. 

 

OVERCOME BY FRUSTRATION, JESSA'S CONFUSION GROWS AS SHE RUNS HER HANDS THROUGH HER HAIR. KELLY CATCHES A GLIMPSE OF A FAMILIAR SHAPE AND PULLS JESSA CLOSER TO EXAMINE. IT'S A MARKING, A TATTOO OF THE HEART SYMBOL FOUND ON THEIR JUMPSUITS AND THE BLACK ENVELOPES. BUT WHAT COULD THIS MEAN?

 

JESSA GRABS KELLY'S ARM TO SEE IF SHE ALSO BEARS THE MARKING AND FINDS THE TATTOO INKED INTO HER WRIST. IF BOTH KELLY AND JESSA HAVE THE MARKING, THEN AARON MUST ALSO HAVE THE MARKING. KELLY AND JESSA TACKLE HIM WITH URGENCY TO GET THE ANSWER. AS THE THREE INTERNALIZE THE SYMBOLS, WHAT IT ALL MEANS, THEY BEGIN TO SWIRL INTO A TRANCE, HYPNOTIZED BY MEMORIES THEY NEVER KNEW THEY HAD. 

 

EACH PERSON HAS A VISION OF WEARING THE CHAINMAIL AND THE WEIGHT OF ITS POWER, BEING PULLED AND SWIRLED INTO ITS MISERY. THEY SEE THEMSELVES DRAGGING THE CHEST INTO THE OCEAN ALL ALONE AND FEEL THE FEAR OF THESE UNKNOWN EXPERIENCES. THEY'VE ALL BEEN HERE BEFORE. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THEY'VE BEEN MET WITH THESE CHOICES, AND REALIZE THE MARKINGS ARE A SIGN. AN ATTEMPT AT INTERRUPTING THE CYCLE TO CHANGE THE OUTCOME. IN THE DISTANCE, MASKED FIGURES WATCH FOR THE TRIO'S NEXT MOVE. IT WON'T BE THE SAME AS THEIR LAST.
