Truth Seekers – Season 1 Episode 8  1

Back at the hub of Smile HQ, Dave embarks on a relentless pursuit, tracing the trail of the hacking menace and racing towards its enigmatic source. His perseverance leads him to a blue rose, a cryptic clue that prompts him to call Gus, his voice laced with urgency for answers.

Gus and his team, cloaked in secrecy within their van, find themselves in a perilous predicament as possessed souls march relentlessly towards the desolate office block. Helen's ingenuity shines as she dons her red-eyed makeup, a disguise crafty enough to deceive those within. But just as they inch closer to their goal, Gus' phone rings with a chilling revelation from Jojo: the Portland Beacon are mere puppets, their trust a fragile illusion.

Dave's call interjects, his voice echoing with a shared obsession—the exploration of the paranormal realm. He pleads with Gus to place their trust in each other, convinced that maximizing the Smile connection to its fullest potential might unravel Peter's signal and shed light on the darkness.

Yet, their moment of strategy is abruptly shattered by the static-filled radio, its crackling interrupted by a familiar sequence of numbers, but this time, echoed by a feminine voice—Peter's assistant, revealing herself in an unsettling twist.

The disguise holds fast, allowing Gus and Helen to infiltrate the stronghold. But fate takes a sinister turn when Richard's keen eye pierces through Helen's disguise, exposing her as an outsider. The tide turns against them, as they find themselves surrounded, trapped in a web of deceit and danger.

As Astrid and Elton race towards the Portal Beacon, their destination locked firmly on Room 2, they discover the radio pulsating with Lara's monotonous repetition of numbers. It becomes evident that Lara holds the pivotal role in transporting spirits across dimensions, a fateful duty bestowed upon her. Elton's conjuring prowess becomes their sole hope, as he summons the strength to unlock the door, leveraging Astrid's swift kick to expel Lara from her grim task.

Back at the ritual's chaotic heart, Peter's incantations are disrupted by a clumsy accomplice, only to reveal itself as Gus in disguise, vowing to halt Peter's nefarious plans before they spiral out of control. The clash between Gus and Peter intensifies, while Dave, undeterred, frantically works to erect an 8G barricade, sealing off the pathway for spirits. Gus, overwhelmed in the fray, watches helplessly as Peter's chanting persists, until Dave triumphantly announces the establishment of the 8G shield, thwarting Peter's sinister design.

With Peter's scheme shattered and his life ebbing away, Gus stands vigilantly as others grasp the gravity of the situation. Yet, amidst the relief, sorrow lingers; Lara and Astrid remain trapped within the machine's labyrinth, their plight sensed by Jojo across vast distances through her monitors. She swiftly orders her guard to dispatch a rescue team to Portland.

In the aftermath, Elton confesses the truth about Astrid as the group gathers in the van, their hearts heavy with uncertainty. Gus, fueled by a glimmer of hope, insists that Astrid's fate is not sealed, and that they may yet find a way to reclaim her. With the radio's eerie static echoing through the air, they embark on the journey back home, each step weighted with the weight of their loss and the promise of redemption.

Concurrently, Dave's solitude is interrupted by Jojo, who confronts him with a piercing gaze, demanding answers. They commiserate over Peter's meddling, elevating themselves to the status of self-proclaimed super beings. As the camera soars upwards, it reveals a heartbreaking truth: Astrid, imprisoned within the confines of a painting, her eyes pleading for release.
