The Body season 1 episode 3, “Unholy Thoughts,” begins the same night of the big initiation trip to the strip club that we saw in the second episode.
Anya (Kristina Bogic) has another nightmare where she’s hooking up with Elise (Sarah Boustany) when Grace (Sofia Wylie) interrupts her.
The dance team suspects Grace has been possessed by the Devil
The next morning, practice is terrible. The whole team is hung over and not doing well. They also find out that Maddie (Shirley Chen) was at the hospital, but she reconnects with the team after practice. Maddie learned that her low blood sugar caused her to have a seizure, but then, the longer they talk, the more they realize that they are all having nightmares about Grace.
Now, they are starting to think that Satan had something to do with this after the ritual they may or may not have done on Halloween involving Grace. Clearly, Lisbeth (Geena Meszaros) has something to do with this.
As Elise and Anya shower, the team holds a vote about coming clean about what happened at the party. Only two of the girls vote to tell the police and everyone about what happened, so they keep it secret for now.
Elise tries to figure out what Tyler (Marcel Ruiz) gave them at the party. To prove that the drugs were fine, Tyler takes two of the pills at school.
Lisbeth's mom shows up naked at the school
Then, to make it all worse, Catherine (Louisa Krause), Leo and Lisbeth’s mom, has a mental breakdown, and she shows up at school with the naked picture of Grace that Leo (Jackson Kelly) drew.
Then, she takes off her trench coat, and she’s completely naked. She starts screaming at Anya.
As it turns out, Grace’s father took the picture to Leo’s mother to show how weird it was that she was drawing pictures of her, and then Leo’s mom lost it and went to the school. This is all going great.
While this is going on, Lisbeth tries to help Leo, and that’s when we find out what Grace saw. It’s a bunch of drawings of Grace, some normal and others not so normal. She’s naked in a lot of them.
As the day goes on, the girls start to think that the devil might actually be responsible for what happened to Grace. Maddie asks one of the nuns to explain what happens if they are being controlled by the devil. They think that something happened at the Devil’s House, but the nun doesn’t bite.
Lisbeth manipulates her way into Anya's life
After that conversation, Steven (Orlando Norman) apologizes to Anya about blacking out on Halloween, but Anya tells him it’s fine. As class continues, the drawing of naked Grace gets passed to Anya. She ignores Steven’s offer to make her dinner and immediately leaves the class to follow Lisbeth through the school. She’s leaving to go to the hospital.
Anya alleges that Leo might have tried to kill Grace during the Halloween party at Devil’s House. Lisbeth doesn’t think Leo is capable of that. Anya isn’t going down for this, but Lisbeth also spills that the team are planning on turning in Anya for what happened to Grace.
Leo tries to confess, but Father Franklin can't hear it
After Lisbeth leaves to go to the hospital, Leo meets with Father Franklin (Nnamdi Asomugha), and he asks to speak about the pictures that Leo was drawing of Grace. Franklin thinks Leo did something to Grace. Leo wants to give his confession to him, but Franklin is worried that he won’t be able to hold Leo accountable.
Leo explains that he thinks of Grace in a sinful way, and it seems like they are speaking two languages. Franklin asks Leo if he hurt Grace, but Leo gets very caught up in the rules of confession. He wants to confess for his sins, but it’s unclear what those actually are other than being a big, weirdo creep.
Lisbeth refuses medical intervention on her mother's behalf
At the hospital, Lisbeth informs the nurse that as her mother’s conservator, she doesn’t agree to have any more medication administered to her mother because it’s against their religious beliefs. Again, that’s not weird at all.
She also finds Grace’s phone in her bag, and she finds a bunch of messages from Leo that seem a lot like a confession. The voicemails make it seem like he hurt her.
Lisbeth isn’t the only one at the hospital. The dance team coach gets the girls out of practice to go visit Grace at the hospital. On the way there, Anya falls asleep in the car, and she has another nightmare. Grace tells her that she’s going to pay for leaving her to die.
Before going in, Elise tries to make a joke about the situation, but Anya is still denying what’s been going on and what’s been bothering her. She decides to skip out on seeing Grace.
Lisbeth convinces everyone that something supernatural is going on
In the hospital room, a few of the girls try to find the devil’s mark on Grace to see if she’s been touched by the devil. Lisbeth talks them up and tries to explain that there are a lot more signs that everyone is missing. She gets into it with Elise and proves that she knows more about what’s going on with this situation.
Lisbeth gets all the girls to admit that something weird is going on. She’s very, very good at manipulating them. She claims Anya thinks they are actually haunted.
Steven and the guys get Leo to confess but not to hurting Grace
Back at the school, the picture of Grace gets passed around to Steve, Tyler, and the rest of the guys. They find Leo, and they take him to the pool, where they basically waterboard him and try to drown him to get a confession for what happened to Grace. Leo might be guilty of being a creep, but he didn’t kill or try to kill Grace.
Leo starts begging the guys to keep drowning him. He keeps saying that it’s his fault over and over, but Leo just admits that he was trying to apologize to Grace that night and then he saw Grace with Steven at the party and never got a chance. He explains how he tried to go to her house that night to apologize, too, but he never got the chance.
Finally, Father Franklin arrives to help Leo, and later, he absolves him from his sins. He’s decided that Leo didn’t have bad intentions with Grace. He was trying to help her.
Speaking of trying to help, Lisbeth deletes all of Leo’s calls from Grace’s phone.
Elise fakes a seizure and pretends to see Grace
Back at school, the students are attending mass. Elise does something super weird. She pretends that she sees Grace on the cross, and then she fakes a seizure and falls in the aisle. As she’s being carried out by Father Franklin, Elise winks at Anya.
On one hand, it's great that Elise is fine, but this supernatural involvement story is gaining steam. It's about to get a lot worse in The Body on Netflix before it gets better.
