...and then her younger self is waking up with a gasp, now in March 1961. We cut to her going outside for some air and finding the three boys, and YCD says they've heard her talking to her sister about how her nightmares come true. He tells her she's not the only one who's different, and calls for YDL, who minces, "How'd a pretty skirt like you get a scar like that?" Hmm, misogynistic and gay at the same time. They should send him over to Mad Men so he and Sal can hang out. He's referring to a gash on her leg she says came from a bicycle accident, and he kneels down and reaches out a healing hand, and the scar disappears. YCD likens their situation to that of an internment camp, which given the creepy sign seems hard to argue, and when Angela demurs, saying they can trust the people there, he asks what her nightmare was about. She tries to disclaim that her dreams aren't always right, but it's no more convincing than when her future self does it, and she then tells YCD not to trust YC. Well, if that's her feeling, I can see why she has so much confidence in the place! Seriously, I know I'm using a lot of abbreviations here, but WTF? Anyway, Alice comes outside, prompting Angela to break up the party and head back in, where Alice tells "Banana" (?) that her feet are cold. Angela tells her they have these new things called "socks" that can remedy such a situation, and promises to find her some, presumably at the Desert Relocation General Store, where one can also purchase stationery to write letters to relatives one will probably never again see. Angela tells Alice to say goodnight, and Alice repeats, "Goodnight, Alice," which I'll allow for the moment as long as it's understood that I might change my mind at any moment. Once they're settled into bed, Alice whispers that she heard what Angela was saying to the boys, and then basically admits that she unwittingly almost killed their father with a hailstorm one time after he punished her, and that's when she realized she can control the weather. Angela looks fearful, but Alice goes ahead and demonstrates by making it snow, which ISN'T GOING TO DRAW ATTENTION IN THE DESERT OR ANYTHING. She then asks Angela if YC is going to come for her, and Angela already looks like she's at her wit's end...
