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.

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: 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.

Dr. Florence Weaver: [Kekoa watches Weaver’s journal footage] Thursday, July 23rd, 1992. Today marks the seventh year since Emily May was entrusted into our care. She remains unlike any test subject we have ever encountered here at the clinic. Though in recent months, Emily started exhibiting signs of mental psychosis. She says she’s seeing visions, and hearing thoughts from the Devil. I’ve contacted Dr. John Gregory out at Hopkins, as well as Dr. Victor Fields from the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital, just to help determine a course of action.

Regina Moss: Wait, are you saying that the killer is your imaginary friend?

Madison Mitchell: Please, Kekoa. Please. You’ve seen him. You know that it’s not me.

Madison Mitchell: No. No. It’s not me.
Regina Moss: Stop lying to us.
Madison Mitchell: I’m telling the f***ing truth!

Jeanne: [referring to Serena] They told me that she died while giving birth! Those lying c**k-knockers.

Young Madison: He’s been telling me to do things. Bad things. To hurt people.

Young Madison: Gabriel makes me strong. He told me to kill Bobby.
Dr. Florence Weaver: He actually said those words?
Young Madison: Sometimes he speaks words, and other times, the words are in my head. And then they aren’t really words anymore. Just feelings. But I knew what he wanted me to do. He pretends to be nice. But he’s the Devil.

Dr. Florence Weaver: So what exactly is Gabriel? Gabriel is an extreme version of a teratoma. A tumor consisting of tissues, hair, teeth, muscles, bones. But more specifically, in this case, it’s a parasitic twin. When two embryos develop in the womb don’t separate like they should, one twin is dominant, while the other is underdeveloped. It’s not considered conjoined because the underdeveloped twin is dependent on the body of the other. Like a parasite, Gabriel feeds off Emily.

Dr. Florence Weaver: We’re starting to suspect that Gabriel can somehow access the region to the brain that process visual stimuli, and make Emily see what he wants her to see. This would explain her recent claims of hallucinations and waking dreams.

Dr. Victor Fields: Because they literally share the same brain, I think he’s able to trick her mind and make her think she’s living her life as usual. Essentially, placing her in a mental prison. When in reality, Gabriel has hijacked her body and is using it himself.

Dr. Florence Weaver: It’s time to cut out the cancer. Gabriel’s parasitic nature has increased significantly as he’s now siphoning more fluids and nutrients, resulting in severe weight loss. So Dr. Fields, Dr. Gregory, and myself have concluded, the only way to save Emily is to excise the teratoma. Now, Gabriel is conjoined at the brain, so full removal could kill Emily, or result in permanent brain damage. Course of action would be to remove what we can and suppress the rest into her skull.

Sydney Lake: Gabriel is inside of Madison. He’s been using her this whole time. He’s been controlling her body like a puppet.

Sydney Lake: She was born with a parasitic twin. Gabriel has been dormant all of these years. When Derek smashed Madison’s head against the wall, it woke Gabriel up.

Sydney Lake: Madison’s birth mother is still alive, Keh. They lied.
Kekoa Shaw: I know. She’s the woman who fell out of Madison’s attic. We sent her to Seattle Medical.
Sydney Lake: Are you kidding me? We have to talk to her. She’s the only person left alive who knows anything.

Gabriel: [to Sydney] I was saving you for last.

Gabriel: [to Sydney] She chose you over me! Her own flesh and blood! I should have killed you before you were born!

Serena: Gabriel. Please forgive me. I should never have given you away. You were my son. And I should have loved you, no matter what.

Gabriel: Shoot me!
Sydney Lake: Madison, I know you’re in there.
Gabriel: And kill her.
Sydney Lake: What did you do to my sister?
Gabriel: She’s not your sister!

Sydney Lake: Maddy, I know you can hear me. You have to fight him!
Gabriel: Madison’s not home.
Sydney Lake: Madison, he killed your babies! He was the cause of your miscarriages. He was feeding off of your fetuses to build himself back up! Maddy, please, please come back.

Gabriel: [to Serena] I wanted you to see what you made me.

Gabriel: A monster.
Madison Mitchell: No, Gabriel. You were always a monster.

Madison Mitchell: Now, I can do all the mind tricks you can.
Gabriel: [realizes Madison made him believe he killed Serena and Sydney] No. Not possible!
Madison Mitchell: Did you forget we share the same brain?

Gabriel: I didn’t ask to be tethered to you. You don’t deserve your body. I can use it better than you.
Madison Mitchell: Not anymore. You don’t get to control me ever again. It’s over, Gabriel. I’m taking it all back. My mind, my body, my everything. Now, you get to live in a world that I create.

Gabriel: [as Madison lock him away in her mind] You can’t lock me in here forever. You’ll always be stuck with me! Sooner or later I will get out.
Madison Mitchell: I know, but next time I’ll be ready for you.

Madison Mitchell: It was always my body. If he was strong enough to do this, then so am I.

Madison Mitchell: [to Sydney] All my life, I’ve yearned for a blood connection with someone. Yet in the end, it was right in front of me all along. Blood or not, you will always be my sister. And I will always love you.
