[boy singing off-key]
♪ Ooh... ♪
[girl cheering] Nadia, Nadia!
I can't believe we pulled this thing off.
Maybe we do
a whole lock-in weekend for freshman year of college.
- Yeah, college. Um...
- [Nadia singing indistinctly]
Allura, now that my mom's back,
I'm not sure I'm definitely gonna stay...
Kiki, Allura! Hi!
[Nadia wailing off-key]
[theme music playing]
- [ominous music playing]
- [crows squawking]
[Krolia] Mm.
[laughs]
[yells]
[dramatic music playing]
[demon groans]
[demon breathing heavily]
[Hag-Lia] Let's make sure that Kiera
doesn't have the home advantage this time.
[ominous music playing]
- [Shiro groans]
- [Luka] What do we do? His robo arm is hard to repair.
Must be something we can use.
- [Brando] Are you okay?
- [Adam] What happened?
Kiki.
-Shiro .
- [Lubos] Shiro.
- [Adam gasps]
- What happened to your arm?
[Luka] Are you okay?
- [boy laughs]
- [girl] Yeah! Nice!
- [students cheer]
- Hey, Kiki, what were you gonna say?
Oh, um, just that now that my mom is back,
I was thinking...
[pop music playing]
♪ Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been ♪
[yells] What were you saying?
Lance, now you!
♪ …Lucky to be coming home again. ♪
[yells] My mom and I...
♪ …Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday. ♪
[yells] Your mom wants what?
[yells] Mom and I...
- [music stops]
- ...are moving back to Korea!
[Lance gasps]
[students whispering indistinctly]
Oops. My bad.
[Kiera groans softly]
[Adam] Oh, no, what do we do?
[Lubos] We'll get you help.
- [Luka] Shiro!
- [Brando] Shiro!
[ominous music playing]
[belt creature growls]
[Shiro gasps softly]
[dramatic music playing]
- [ominous music playing]
- [demons chanting in Chinese]
Guess the Jumbo games weren't a hit.
[chuckles then sighs]
[Kiera sighs]
So back to Korea, huh?
Yeah, with Mom.
That's great.
I know you've never been
super comfortable here.
[sighs]
Yeah, I miss my life in Seoul, but...
I don't know, I guess
I feel like I'd miss things here too.
Like you. I'd miss you.
[groans] No. No, no.
Kiki, don't do this to me.
- What?
- You broke up with me.
As soon as I start dating someone else,
you wanna be with me again?
I don't need protecting anymore.
Lance, I wanted to protect you
because of how much I care about you.
So am I meant to wait for you to decide
when it's safe for us to be together?
- [poignant music playing]
- What you're doing isn't fair to me.
Not fair? Oh, uh, I'm sorry.
It's so unfair of me
to not want you to get m*rder*d by aliens.
- How selfish.
- You know that's not what I meant.
My mom lost the love of her life
because she got mixed up with the Galra empire!
My parents, Shiro, everyone I love...
And Griffin? Hm? Did you love him?
[gasps]
Is that what this is?
You're mad because I don't want you to die
the same way he did?
You, what,
feel like you can't compete with him?
- I'm not competing with him!
- Because I chose you?
James didn't listen to me,
and that's what got him k*lled.
You think it's gonna be different for you?
Because you can see the future?
Your visions aren't always right, Lance.
Yeah, I know! 'Cause I keep seeing
a future where you've changed your mind,
and you and me
are fighting aliens together, like Mark and Eve in season three.
- We are? When? Where?
- [demons continue chanting in Chinese]
I don't know. It's blurry, and it's vague,
but it keeps giving me hope
you'll let me be part of your life again.
[exhales]
But that's not our future, right?
So you should go to Seoul,
and maybe one day
I'll see a future with someone else.
Bye, Kiera. (Before Lance leaves, Kiera closes the door and grabs Lance by the shoulder. He turns around and Kiera grabs his face to kiss him on the lips, which he happily accepts by grabbing Kiera by the waist. Kiera wraps her arms around Lance’s shoulders)
- [Shiro gasps]
- [dramatic music playing]
- ♪ That's why I'm gone ♪
- ♪ Ooh, ooh ♪
- ♪ Forevermore ♪
- ♪ Ooh, ooh ♪
- ♪ I'm gone ♪
- ♪ Ooh, ooh ♪
♪ I will always find you ♪
(Both Kiera and Lance break from the kiss blushing)
- [lock clicks]
- [both gasp]
- [Kiera] Hm?
- [accordion hums]
Mom! Hi! Uh, how's chaperoning?
Oh, it's good. Just doing the rounds.
Gotta make sure everyone's,
you know, behaving themselves.
Hi! Don't think we've met yet.
I'm Krolia, Kiki's mom.
Great to meet you, Ms. Kogane.
[laughs] Lia's fine.
Kiki, can I borrow you?
[dramatic hopeful music playing]
Nice.
- [music fades]
- [sighs] Okay, future.
Now let's see what you got for me.
- [ominous music playing]
- Are we meant to be in here?
I got your vice principal's permission.
There's something sensitive
we need to discuss.
I've been thinking about our plan,
the fresh start, and...
I... [sobs]
- Mom.
- I'm sorry.
It's just, every time you use your powers,
all I can think about
is the night you ended up with them, and...
I thought, if we're gonna leave all
the messed-up crap from our past behind...
You want me to give up my powers?
They're not yours.
They're a curse Akira put on you,
on our family.
Mom, they are a part of who I am,
and I learned the hard way that putting
the powers back is way too risky.
It took that witch centuries to cultivate
the power it did with Zarkon.
It's starting from scratch, thanks to you.
Not saying we'd leave them on the floor
of Shiro's lair again. No offense.
So, what, we lock them in the box
and throw them in the ocean?
Why not?
We could hide them anywhere.
Somewhere only we would know
where they are.
And you trust me. Right?
[sighs]
I'm sorry, Mom,
but the powers aren't safe anywhere else.
If demons come looking for them,
we won't be able to protect ourselves.
- [locks clack, beep]
- [Kiera gasps]
- [tense music plays]
- [Kiera] Hm?
Why are you being weird, Mom?
I'm not being weird.
We're just not done talking about this.
You were just telling me
you wanted me to be my own person,
make my own choices.
If you keep the powers,
you're not being your own person.
You're being who Shiro wants you to be.
Shiro made mistakes,
that doesn't make him a bad person or like his grandfather.
And you need to accept that
I'm always gonna want him in my life.
I'm going back to the lock-in.
What?
[dramatic music playing]
No! Mom!
[Hag-Lia] I'll give you your mom back
when you give me the powers, Kiera Kogane.
[gasping] Kiki! Kiki!
[Lance panting] Huh?
[dramatic music continues]
[Lance panting]
[grunting]
Kiki! That's not your mom!
- Kiki! [breathing heavily]
- [students screaming]
- [screaming continues]
- [Kiera gasps]
[girl screams]
[girl panting]
[students screaming]
[both screaming]
[demon growling]
[roars]
[Lance gasps]
[demons cackling]
- [students screaming]
- [Nadia yells]
[demons shrieking and growling]
[students continue screaming]
- [Nadia whimpers]
- [demon shrieks]
[dramatic music continues]
- [Lance grunts]
- [demon groans]
- [growls]
- [yells]
[Hag-Lia]
The longer you take to give up,
the longer everyone will be trapped
down here with my friends.
[gasps]
[grunts then yells]
[Hag-Lia yells]
[intense music playing]
You think I can't beat you again?
[Hag-Lia] Oh, I know you can,
but I don't think you'll k*ll Mommy.
[laughs]
[demons shrieking and growling]
- [Hunk] Whoa!
- [students screaming]
- [whimpers then yells]

[girl screams]

[Iverson whimpers then screams]
No! Please! I don't wanna die!
[gasps then yells]
[Iverson] Kiera! Save me!
- [Kiera yells]
- [Hunk grunts]
Xiao!
[demon burbles]
[demon shrieks then grunts]
Wow. Shrinking talisman.
[Iverson sobbing]
[demons continue chanting in Korean]
[Kiera grunts then yells]
[grunting]
Mom, you need to fight back.
Your mom can't overpower me.
[grunts]
- [Kiera grunts]
- [Hag-Lia] Aw.
[Kiera grunting]
I won't let you take the power.
[Hag-Lia] Foolish girl.
Those cups were the only way
you were getting out of this alive.
I can still take them
by ripping them from your soul.
[door clangs]
[Kiera groans]
Kiki, are you okay? [screams]
[Kiera yells]
- [intense music playing]
- [demons continue chanting in Chinese]
I have done way too much planning
for this lock-in
to let whatever that thing is ruin it.
[Hunk yells]
[demon chants then grunts]
[Hunk yells]
- Bing!
- [music fades]
[demons continue chanting in Korean]
[intense music playing]
Ooh.
[both groan]
- Uh, I only meant to freeze him.
- [whimpers]
I must've drawn the talisman wrong.
Hey, Hunk, can you check this for...
No! Keep that away from me.
- [grunting]
- [Hag-Lia growls]
[Lance yells]
- Get off her!
- Lance, run! This isn't safe!
[Hag-Lia] She's right, Lance.
You should've listened to her.
[intense music playing]
Now you're gonna die
the same way the brave soldier did.
[Lance panting]
[Hag-Lia laughs]
- [Hag-Lia growls]
- [students screaming]
[demons snarling and growling]
[yells]
[Lance grunting]
Now! Pull your mom out!
- [Hag-Lia yells]
- [Lance grunts]

[demons shriek]
[groaning]
[groans] Hm?
- Lance?
- [groans]
[Kiera] Hm?
[ominous music playing]
[Hag-Lia exhales]
[Kiera scoffs]
[intense music playing]
[Kiera yells]
- Okay. Three down, one to go.

- [grunting and gasping]
[Hunk grunts]
- [Allura gasping and coughing]
- [Hunk gasps]
Shiro! Yikes!
Are you okay?
Who did that to your arm? I'll k*ll them!
[chuckles] Not if I get to them first.
- [music fades]
- [crows squawking]
- [students screaming]
- [demons gasp]
[students gasp]
[Hag-Lia growls] No! [grunts]
Oh. Missing Drule already?
Well, don't worry.
You're all going back too!
- [grunts]
- [dramatic music playing]
- [Kiera grunting]
- [demons gasping]
[Hag-Lia grunts]
[demon yells]
Push them through the portals!
[students yelling]
[dramatic music continues]
Lance, get everyone to safety!
Come on! This way! On me! Let's go!
- [Hag-Lia grunts]
- [Kiera grunts]
[Kiera yells]
[both grunting]
Kiera!
[gasps]
[screams] Kiera!
[Hag-Lia laughs]
[Kiera grunting and groaning]
[yells]
[intense music playing]
[Kiera yells then gasps]
- [Kiera gasps]
- [poignant music playing]
[Hag-Lia grunting]
Hm?
[grunting]
[Allura and Hunk panting]
Shiro, what happened?
[groans] I'm okay, sis.
[Hag-Lia laughs]
Don't lie to her, Takashi.
[snarls then groans]
- [groans]
- [Shiro] Hm.
- [Shiro sighs]
- Shiro, no.
[Haggar] This what you want
as your final act?
You can't save your sister
without k*lling your auntie.
But that's what you really want, isn't it?
To keep Kiera all to yourself. Just like your grandfather.
No. I'm here to give my sister
the life she chose and giving my aunt the life she deserves. By sacrificing my aunt’s galra form. (Shiro unleash his new arm.) (Shiro, thinking) I’m sorry auntie Lia. Its the only way to save you and Kiki.
[gasps then screams]
[eerie, poignant music playing]
[grunting]
[gasps]
[grunting]
[yelling and grunting]
[Krolia, now human sighs then gasps]
[Shiro grunting]
I'm sorry.
Me too.
[yells]
[screams]
- [yells]
- [dramatic, hopeful music playing]
[grunts then screams]
[all gasp]
[Haggar grunts]
[screams]
[groans]
[Shiro] You have underestimated
us Ganes so many times.
But don't worry. It won't happen again.
[Haggar gasps]
[mysterious music playing]
[Kiera winces]
[Lance and Allura] Huh?
Mom, Shiro, are you okay?
Huh?
[poignant music playing]
Kiki, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
[Kiera] Mm.
[Shiro sighs then gasps]
Haggar , don't let her get away.
- [dramatic music playing]
- [Haggar grunting]
[Haggar groans]
[Haggar] We could make a deal!
There's only one thing I want from you.
[Haggar screaming]
[grunts]
[screaming continues]
- [Shiro ] Kiera!
- [Kiera] Huh?
- Mom, no! [whimpers]
- [Hunk whimpers]
[Kiera sighs]
[straining] Help me get Takashi’s arm back on!
[poignant music playing]
Kiera, no.
[gasping] You were hurt.
[Kiera grunting]
- [Krolia] Darling, stop. Please.
- Come on.
Please, Umma, I can heal you from your wounds.
It's too late. I’m not a galra anymore and Haggar drained me.
[sobbing]
[sniffling] Come on, Lia.
There must be some way to,
I don't know, restore you as a human. I...
[Krolia laughs] If there was,
Takashi would have his brother
back, but it's okay.
I’m weak without my powers already.
[Hunk sniffles]
[Shiro] Hm...
Umma, please. Please, don't do this.
I don't want you to die.
[laughs] I’ll made peace my death once, Kiki.
But you still needed protecting,
and now you don't.
[sobbing]
I'm so proud of you.
Humans don't have their alien halves left to heal.
Our souls are just the memory of a person.
A soul who couldn't let go.
Most ghosts don't even get seen.
I was lucky.
[gasps]
Shiro, the pearls!
Give me the necklace, quickly.
[gasping]
You want my memories?
If I can't save you, then...
I thought, because you were leaving,
you'd be happy without me.
No, never.
[Krolia gasps]
Hmm.
[Krolia sniffles]
[poignant music continues]
[Krolia speaking indistinctly in memories]
[Kiera sobbing]
I love you, Kiera Kogane.
I love you, Umma.
[Krolia ] I love you, nae bul baeghab (my fire lily).

Uh, I wasn't sure

Oh, it can stay here.
