The Clinic

As Meg remembers Haley telling her a secret, Lutz pulls her out of the treatment so that her body won’t go into organ failure. She overhears Max insisting that Lutz stop treatment. Max warns Meg that she may disassociate as a result of the treatment.

Meg searches the spa and pool for Haley’s phone, finding nothing. She calls Haley’s number and is shocked to hear a phone ringing in the women’s dorm. Before she can reach it, she is intercepted by Madeline, who accuses her of being undercover police.

In therapy with Max, Meg reveals that she has felt unsafe since childhood and that she began using drugs and alcohol at age 13. Max suggests that she has repressed a traumatic childhood event. Meg sneaks a look at Max’s notes and deduces that he suspects that Jade murdered Haley.

Through online research, Cara learns that Lutzheimer and Pro Lab Florida were involved in an insurance scam, charging insurers thousands of dollars for simple but unnecessary tests. Cara realizes that the Clinic was charging Haley’s insurer $22,000 per day.

Meg returns to the women’s dormitory to find it trashed, as if someone were searching for something. She accuses Jade of giving Haley drugs, but Dex and Madeline intervene, explaining that Jade checked in after Haley left. Harry calls with news: The fingerprints on the note are Haley’s.

Harry insists that the notes were left by someone who knew Haley had touched the paper, not Haley herself. He urges Meg to engage honestly with therapy to earn the other patients’ trust. When Meg admits to using oxycodone, Harry insists on picking her up in two days.

Meg decides to flush what is left of her oxycodone to begin the process of healing so that she can learn more about Haley. However, she is terrified about what she might discover.

Based on what she has learned, Cara threatens to quit, but Lutz insists that he was not complicit in the Florida rehab scheme. He explains that insurers are unwilling to pay for new treatments and says that the Clinic upcharges tests to supplement their research. Cara decides to stay, deeming Lutz’s actions unethical but not illegal.

Meg immediately begins to feel the physical effects of opioid withdrawal. She offers to read an honesty statement in group therapy to progress to the next treatment with Lutz. Max warns her that the treatment may bring up difficult memories.

In a group therapy session, Meg reveals her near-death experience, including the fact that she nearly killed one of her assailants. Tom looks excited by the retelling. Suddenly, Meg has a seizure and hallucinates a woman wearing vintage lingerie whom Meg calls the queen of hearts.

Make wakes from her seizure but continues to hallucinate the woman in vintage lingerie; she has a memory of the woman stopping her from leaving some place. She reveals the truth of her prior oxycodone use to Max and the other patients, who encourage and care for her through her detox.

When confronted by Cara, Max explains that he overlooked Lutz overcharging insurers for simple tests because he truly believes that their fugu treatment works. As Max is beginning to offer Cara advice, he is called away. Max invites Cara to dinner to continue their discussion.

At dinner, Max reveals that Lutz left Switzerland when his clinic was investigated for criminal connections but insists that he genuinely cares about his patients. Max urges Cara to stay at the Clinic, and she agrees to stay for another week. She senses a romantic moment but accidentally squashes it.

Meg wakes to find a man wearing a fedora next to her bed. The man starts to strangle her but disappears when Meg loudly fights back. The others dismiss it as a nightmare, but Meg finds a fedora, which Jade then claims is hers. Madeline reveals that Haley had nightmares about a man in a fedora before she died.

Cara discovers the door to the medicine room open, suggesting that a patient accessed drugs. Max comes to her room with whiskey to comfort her. When she questions Lutz’s ethics, Max tells her to leave if she doesn’t trust him. Cara pushes back, and they share a kiss. Cara insists it’s just a rehab romance, and Max leaves.

Jade takes Meg to the salt room, where the other patients are waiting. They urge Meg to delay her next treatment with Lutz, explaining that she isn’t physically strong enough. Meg insists on the treatment, knowing that Harry is coming for her soon. After everyone else leaves, Tom corners Meg and threatens her subtly.

Cara searches for an alternate route to the medicine room through the anger room. Finding nothing, she smashes a computer with a baseball bat, breaking down in tears. Suddenly, the lights go off, and a stranger enters, trying to attack Cara. A voice that Cara recognizes shouts that she never wanted to kill Haley and begs to be left alone.

In her next treatment with Lutz, Meg uncovers a memory of seeing Haley trapped in a bathroom with Mr. Priest, who chased Meg away by throwing playing cards at her. She realizes that her undercover personas are all based on the lady in vintage lingerie. As Meg recovers, she realizes that she may know the password to locate Haley’s phone.

Cara turns on the light and finds Sierra wearing noise-cancelling headphones. Sierra explains that she has compulsive thoughts of hurting others, even though she doesn’t want to, and that Max encourages her to verbalize and then smash those thoughts. She reveals that Haley was intimate with both Tom and Dex.

Meg goes to an empty gym designed for low-oxygen workouts. She uses her birthday as the passcode to access Haley’s phone location and discovers that the phone is nearby. Suddenly, she grows lightheaded; she suspects the oxygen levels in the room have been hacked. As she passes out, she sees a message on the glass, ostensibly from Haley, warning her to stop treatments.

While studying Haley’s file, Cara discovers that the Clinic never charged her a supplemental fee. She cannot make sense of this. Tom calls her from the treatment room, claiming to know who killed Haley. Before he can explain, the line dies.

Meg is awoken by Sierra, who explains that the oxygen settings in the gym were altered. She does not seem to believe that Meg didn’t adjust them. Sierra reveals that she recovered a memory of meeting Meg at a party with Haley, but Meg denies this happened.

Alerting Max of what’s happening, Cara rushes to the treatment room but finds it empty. Inside a drawer, she finds surgical tools and a collection of glass eyeballs. Max arrives and discovers that a box of medical-grade heroin has been taken from the medical closet. Cara rushes to help him find Tom before he relapses.

Meg texts Harry about her fears that someone is trying to murder her. She finds Haley’s cellphone hidden in one of the spa rooms. On the phone, she finds the code to the medicine room and a text from Madeline.

Cara overhears an argument in which Lutz seems to accuse Max of disobeying his orders and giving Meg a smaller dose of fugu than ordered. Lutz threatens to fire Max. Later, Max and Cara find Tom dead in the treatment room.

Haley’s phone reveals that she was in contact with Madeline for weeks before Haley came to the Clinic and that Madeline introduced Haley to a man. Suddenly, Meg is attacked and pushed underwater. She is rescued by Jade, who insists that no one else was in the room when she arrived. Jade is shocked to see the phone, now destroyed in the pool.

Max argues that Tom is unlikely to have died by suicide and that heroin was not his drug of choice. He expresses frustration that patients are dying on his watch. Cara offers to call the police, but Max asks her to wait until he can explain something to her.

Meg accuses Madeline of working with Lutz. Madeline admits that she was paid to bring patients to the Clinic and then encourage them to relapse afterward, the same scam that Lutz perpetrated in Florida. She describes Haley as a special case.

Max admits that he has been helping Lutz smuggle in fugu, which is a controlled substance in the United States. He suggests that Lutz plans to manipulate his treatment to sell the fugu-derived medication to criminals. Horrified, Cara decides to call Captain Hanson.
