Beartown

In the hospital, Maya calmly undergoes all the required examinations. Kira, meanwhile, is at her wits’ end, calling everyone at her legal practice. On the team bus, everyone’s still in an uproar. When David gets a text from Mr. Erdahl with the news of the charges against Kevin, he doesn’t tell the team.

David has always believed that hockey must stay separated from the outside world. He’s imposed that separation on his players for their sake, too—giving them a safe, secure place away from the struggles of their everyday lives. But now he wonders, “how far are you allowed to go to protect your universe?”

The nurse, Ann-Katrin, is Hog’s wife. She normally maintains a professional distance from patients and teaches her younger colleagues to do the same, but today, she touches Maya’s cheek and tells her how brave she is.

When Peter arrives at the hospital, he wants to triumphantly announce Kevin’s arrest, but when he sees Maya in the hospital room, all he can do is cry. He promises to get Ana and Maya’s guitar. Then Maya reminds him that he needs to talk to Leo, too, who must be scared. Peter and Kira are horrified to realize that Maya is the only one who’s thought of Leo at all.

Before David can make up his mind what to say to his players, Benji stands up in the middle of the bus and speaks to various teammates in turn. He reminds them of the lessons David has taught them over the years, like focusing on the things you can change. He concludes by leading the bus in a chant of “WIN! WIN! WIN!” Then he spends the rest of the trip asleep in the back of the bus. David deletes Mr. Erdahl’s text and pretends he hasn’t heard any news.
