Sydney Lake: Don’t do that. This is not your fault.
Madison Mitchell: That’s not what I’m saying. I wanted to know what it felt like to have a blood connection with someone. A biological connection.
Sydney Lake: Maddy, what are you talking about?
Madison Mitchell: Mom and dad took me in when I was eight. I don’t remember anything before that. Mom told me that my biological mother died during my birth. Sydney, I’m adopted.

Madison Mitchell: Yes.
Madison Mitchell: I saw him murdering her in her house. And it was like I was there, and here at the same time. What is happening to me, Syd?
Madison Mitchell: I wasn’t dreaming. I saw him. I saw him. He killed again, but this time I saw his face. I saw his face.
Madison Mitchell: Somehow I’m seeing his murders, like he’s showing them to me.

Madison Mitchell: No, goddamn it! I see them as they’re happening. Like I’m having visions. I know how that sounds.

Regina Moss: Are we really having this conversation?

Gabriel: [over phone] Hello, Emily.
Madison Mitchell: My name is Madison.
Gabriel: Your fake mother gave you the name Madison. Your s**tty marriage gave you the name Mitchell. But you’ll always be Emily to me.
Madison Mitchell: Who are you?
Gabriel: You know who I am. Even if they say I’m only in your head.
Madison Mitchell: I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Gabriel: You let them tell you I wasn’t real, that I was just a voice. And you believed them. Now, I’m going to make them pay for what they did. One by one.
Madison Mitchell: Gabriel, no!
Gabriel: See? Deep down, you’ve always known.
Madison Mitchell: Please stop. Please.
Gabriel: Oh, we are just getting started.
Madison Mitchell: His name is Gabriel. I don’t know how I knew, but talking to him, I just did. He’s someone from my past. From before I could remember.
Madison Mitchell: Mom, I need you to remember. During the adoption, did they say if I had a brother, or anything?
Jeanne: No. The only thing they would say is if there were siblings, they try to place them in the same family.
Madison Mitchell: Then who the hell is Gabriel?
Sydney Lake: Mom? Mom, what do you know?
Jeanne: [Madison’s watching an old footage of her birthday] Maddy, who are you talking to?
Young Madison: No one.
Frank: Maddy? Maddy, what did we say about lying?
Young Madison: I wasn’t.
Jeanne: Well, then who were you talking to?
Young Madison: Gabriel.
Jeanne: Is he your imaginary friend?
Young Madison: Gabriel isn’t made up. He says that you are. He says you’re not my real family.
Jeanne: Some of the conversations you had with Gabriel just chilled us to the bone.
Madison Mitchell: Wait, so Gabriel was something that I made up?
Jeanne: Whatever you went through before you joined our family, it hurt you in a way that I can’t even imagine. I always figured you created Gabriel so that you could survive that. We thought if we gave you enough love, you wouldn’t need him anymore. I hope we weren’t wrong.
