Outkasts Andre 3000).
An intense intellect, Fredwynn believes the Elsewhere Society and Jejune Institute game is an elaborate conspiracy.
This part of the story kicks off whereJanices story last week also began.

As Janice calls after her missing partner, Fredwynn creeps around the limo.
He notes Fredwynns determination and drive.
Fredwynn jumps into the trunk, Janice panicking as she sees this.
When Octavio arrives at the parking garage by the theater, he opens the trunk, expectantly.
Fredwynn gets out and motions his surrender.
Octavio tells him to relax.
Fredwynn insists life isnt a game, then demands to know the truth about everything.
Octavio says hardcores ruin the game of life for everyone else.
He asks Fredwynn where his teammates are and Fredwynn says it doesnt matter.
Octavio insists it does.
Its clear Fredwynn doesnt value personal attachments.
Hes been emotionally distant from his teammates since the game began.
Ignoring Octavio, Fredwynn asserts hes going to discover the truth one way or another.
He suspects if Clara is real, Jejune is looking for her because she discovered the truth, too.
He then asks a theater staffer for intel.
Fredwynn sees a woman hand Octavio an envelope, which he puts in his jacket pocket.
Thats when Fredwynn calls Janice to tell her to get the envelope.
Fredwynn hangs up abruptly because he notices someone nearby may be listening.
He makes his way to the production room, where he finds a book and the stage manager.
He pretends hes the intern.
Fredwynn asks how her experience is possible and a staffer says its social media stalking plus VR magic.
Refocusing on his mission, Fredwynn discreetly steals pages from the book.
When he turns to leave, he encounters the real intern.
Does this mean the intrusion was staged?
Is it all a ruse, as Fredwynn thinks?
This is our biggest clue yet as to the nature of the game.
The group reconvenes the next day to learn more about Fredwynns discovery.
He begins by reading off a script he wrote which Simone teases him about.
He says the people behind the game want the players to think its just a game but its not.
The pages he stole prove some entity is manipulating hundreds of people into finding a missing girl.
Fredwynn then shares information about himself, for the first time ever.
He graduated from college at age 19 with a double major in philosophy and economics.
He used to work in big data.
Hes rich he made his first million by age 21.
Fredwynn shares all this to show he has insight into elite organizations and data operations.
He says they must find and stop the people that now own and control everything.
His speech concluded, the others follow Fredwynn to an apartment.
There, he takes out the paper Janice stole from Octavio.
Fredwynn demands information, but she feistily shoos them away.
Outside, Fredwynn tells the others what she did but they dont believe him.
She scolds him for dragging them to the apartment without really filling them in and giving them a choice.
Fredwynn says he shouldve just gone alone.
Once in bed, Fredwynn asks God for help finding the truth and understanding his teammates better.
He turns off the light… but immediately changes his mind.
Cut to Fredwynn breaking into the theater.
He looks in the closet for clues.
He meditates himself into a dream-like state in which he revisits everything from the day before.
However, he realizes Janice might be able to help.
So, he shows up at Janices house in the middle of the night.
She reluctantly lets him in.
Before he gets into things, she introduces him to the comatose Lev.
Being friendly for once, Fredwynn sincerely asks about Lev.
She says Lev suffered a stroke last year.
Their son thinks she should put Lev in a care facility, but she cant let him go.
Fredwynn says his mother wasnt a good caregiver.
Then, over tea, he says his longest heterosexual relationship was three weeks.
He directs her to the gift tag.
Where the name should be, theres a sun, snowflake, and a leaf.
They arrive at the building and walk toward the door.
Theres a massive hole in the sidewalk that Peter, Simone, and Janice carefully step over.
They look down and realize they might have just found Claras hideout.
They fire up the secret door and the episode ends.
Will we meet Clara next week?
