...which continues in the flashback on a radio at the Coyote Sands Café. Angela slams the phone down in disgust and reports to the others that the cops don't believe her, and goes on that they have to try to convince them. Inexplicably, though, the others completely don't care, with YDL babbling something in the accent that defies description and YCD asking Angela to dance, because he knows she loves this song and missed her prom. Angela says she never told him that, so I guess we're meant to assume that YCD is telepathic, even though he only seemed to be able to dream walk earlier in the series, and also, if he can actually read minds, they should have been using that power to figure out what was going on at Coyote Sands the whole time instead of relying on Angela's "confusing" dreams, and this episode really kind of bites. Also, speaking to my point that it's only 1961 when the show wants it to be, YCD and Angela dancing earns only an eventual mild rebuke from the proprietor, which is pretty unbelievable given that they're out in the sticks here, but it gives YCD a further chance to show off the powers he doesn't have when he commands the guy to pretend like it never happened, and he complies, like, BEING ABLE TO BEND PEOPLE TO YOUR WILL WOULDN'T HAVE COME IN HANDY BACK IN THE PRISON CAMP OR ANYTHING. Angela then remembers she needs to get socks for Alice, but just then, the Emergency Broadcast System warns of a severe storm...
...and back in the present, Alice tells Angela that she's alive, and Angela's not going crazy. Once again, a second opinion seems warranted. Angela asks if she's been hanging out in this dump for fifty years, and Alice explains that when she found the shelter, it was packed with food, so that lasted her a while, and then when it was gone, she did "what [she] had to do." The potential ugliness of that remark is tempered by the fact that the street trade is probably pretty barren out there, and Alice goes on to clarify that she stole food and clothes. Angela asks the obvious question of why she stayed, so Alice points out that Angela told her she'd be safe if she stayed there, which obviously sounds insane until she clarifies that she thought isolating herself would keep the world safe from her powers. Angela is guiltily heartbroken to hear all this, and asks what happened the night she left. Alice tells her YC came for her...
