The Body season 1 episode 7, “Holy Trinity,” begins shortly after the dance competition in episode 6, and it’s revealed that Maddie (Shirley Chen) needs ankle surgery. It turns out that Grace (Sofia Wylie) isn’t performing miracles after all, but no one wants to hear that.
In fact, the queue is now forming outside Grace’s house to receive her touch and get their miracle to happen. The girls on the team see the line forming as they drive by in the bus from the competition. They placed third at Regionals and qualified for Nationals.
Lisbeth moves in with Anya
When Lisbeth (Geena Meszaros) gets home, her mom reveals that she’s packed up the car and they are moving back to West Virginia away from all of these people and demons. Lisbeth doesn’t want to go, and her mom kicks her out of the house for good.
She goes to the only place she’s been accepted so far, and that’s Anya’s house. She interrupts Anya (Kristina Bogic) and Elise (Sara Boustany) hooking up again, but Anya, knowing that Lisbeth has information on her, allows her to stay.
Lisbeth reveals her dad was bitten by a rattlesnake and died
Then, while she’s waiting to have her room made up for her, Lisbeth sees Elise’s bag and finds one of the tapes from her house that show her doing weird stuff at her old church. Lisbeth knows this is why Anya is acting weird, and she tries to go back on offense in her manipulation.
Lisbeth reveals what happened in her past and how she was part of a very weird church, where her father was the pastor. They used to use snakes in their service, which is illegal in other places, and her father got bitten by a rattlesnake during the service, and he died while they all prayed for him because they didn’t believe in medical intervention.
Then, to make it worse, Lisbeth’s mom claims it was her fault because she wasn’t a true believer. If she had been, her father would have been saved. So, that’s that!
Steven finds Grace’s necklace in the back of his car
Later, Steven is driving around and stops to clean his car. While he’s vacuuming, he finds Grace’s necklace in the back of his car, and he panics because he doesn’t remember what happened at the Halloween party.
Maddie quits the dance team and tells Father Franklin about the Halloween party
In the morning, Maddie storms into school in a walking boot. Her ankle was never better, and she tells some of the girls that she’s done with dance. She’s officially quitting the team.
After Maddie quits, she goes straight to Father Franklin (Nnamdi Asomugha), and she confesses that the dance team was doing ecstasy on Halloween night at Devil’s House. She reveals that everyone needs to confess their wrongdoings, and then Grace will be saved. Father Franklin is like very concerned about what’s going on.
For some priestly reasons, Franklin doesn’t tell the doctors immediately about the ecstasy. He’s googling the effects of ecstasy and if it can put someone in a coma. The bishop calls and tells him he’s not happy about the little miracles speech at the church, but it’s done wonders for membership and good press. The bishop wants more miracles.
Then, one of the girls, Katie, comes into Franklin’s office to sign a fundraiser form. Franklin gets suspicious about Maddie quitting the team. He starts interrogating her, but she doesn’t give up any information. She continues the lie that they slept over at Maddie’s house.
Later, Anya and Elise are officially secretly together. They are hooking up regularly now, including in the bathroom in school, and Anya has solved her problem. Well, Elise has solved her problem, but Anya is still dating Steven. He can tell something is wrong, but he’s just worried about what happened with Grace on Halloween night.
Grace’s doctor suggests she might never recover from the coma
Unfortunately, Grace doesn’t seem to be getting any better. The doctor wants to bring her back to the hospital. He reveals that she’s not progressing as they want. It’s been two weeks, and she’s not showing any signs of improvement.
He talks to them about providing continuous care for Grace if she doesn’t get any better anytime soon. The doctor suggests there’s a chance that she’ll never get better, which doesn’t sit right with her father.
Steven tells Tyler about Grace’s necklace, and they get rid of it
Franklin continues to investigate. Later, Mike (Motell Foster), Grace’s dad, calls Steven, and he wants Steven to come in to chat about something. Steven gets nervous, and Tyler can tell something is up. Then, he tells Tyler that he found Grace’s necklace in his car, but he doesn’t think he did anything to Grace. Steven thinks that he could be the reason that Grace is in a coma, though.
Tyler reminds Steven that he’s already guilty if he comes forward with anything to do with Grace. He wants Steven to get rid of the necklace and forget about it. Tyler throws away the necklace at the gas station.
The vibes are off
Speaking of Steven, Anya and Elise are in bed talking, and Anya wants them to start sleeping naked together. Elise is down, but she wants to know what Anya is going to do about Steven. Elise wants her to break up with Steven so they can be together, but Anya isn’t there yet. Elise just is confused about what their relationship is. Clearly, she’s in love with her, but Anya doesn’t see it? I don’t know.
That night, Lisbeth hangs out with Anya’s mom while Anya, Elise, Steven, and Tyler hang out. Lisbeth asks her if she thinks Anya is mad at her. Anya’s mom offers her a drink and a girl chat, whatever that means.
Everyone is off, though. Steven is down in the dumps after finding the necklace. Elise is mad about what happened with Anya.
Maddie asks Leo to go visit Grace
Meanwhile, Leo’s mom, Catherine, continues her rants and craziness, while Leo makes cards that he drew with Grace’s face on them like she’s some kind of saint. Right then, Leo gets a call from Maddie. She wants to know if he’s gone to Grace’s house yet, but Catherine won’t let him. She asks Leo if he’d go with her to the house together. Maddie thinks that Leo is Grace’s first apostle, the person who knew she was special before anyone else, which Maddie finds superhot.
Franklin still hasn’t told them about the ecstasy or the party yet. Grace’s parents are losing it, though, after the revelation that she might not get better. Later, Franklin goes to Maddie’s house to speak with her about what he told her. She thinks that she’s in trouble, and Franklin finally reveals that he can’t say anything to the authorities about what happened because it was told to him in confession. He asks Maddie to tell the truth about what happened that night. He tells Maddie that Grace is dying in a roundabout way, and he asks her if Maddie will talk about it with him so he can actually go forward.
Maddie opens up about everything. She comes clean about what happened at the party. Then, she suggests that Grace took herself home and even texted her to tell her that she got home safe. That was the last Maddie heard from her.
Lisbeth finds out that Anya and Elise are hooking up
Back at Anya’s house, Lisbeth is drunk, thanks to Anya’s mom, and she joins them in the swimming pool. Tyler instantly starts hitting on her. Then, Lisbeth starts harassing Anya about how good her life is but also how messed up Anya is mentally. It’s super weird!
Then, she starts teasing Steven about what Anya would have to do to make Steven hate her. Lisbeth starts hinting that Anya has done something really bad that would make everyone hate her.
Elise interrupts and suggests they do some chickenfighting in the pool. Elise and Lisbeth start going at it, and then it turns into a real fight, and Lisbeth bites her. Elise starts throwing Lisbeth under the water, trying to drown her. Finally, she lets her up, and Lisbeth leaves in a panic.
Outside, Elise questions Anya’s intentions with Lisbeth in the hallway outside Lisbeth’s room. She says that Anya doesn’t actually like Lisbeth. She just hangs out with her because she’s blackmailing her. Elise challenges Anya to say how she actually feels for once in her life.
After they leave, Tyler tries to hook up with Lisbeth, and she lets him into her room.
In the hot tub, Elise tries to leave, but Anya asks her to stay and not drive. Then, she asks Steven if he thinks it would be hot if they kissed, and he says sure, so Anya gets permission to do the thing that Elise wanted her to do. But it's kind of weird because they’re way too into it, but Steven is, like, not that into it. Then, Anya invites Steven into it, and while it’s all going down, Tyler and Lisbeth watch it happening. Elise isn’t interested in this, and then she leaves.
Later, in her room, Anya finds Elise, who says that she’s really mad at her. They kiss and start hooking up while everyone is still there. Lisbeth goes up the elevator to Anya’s room and finds the pair of them hooking up.
What will Lisbeth do with this information? Now, Maddie has officially opened up this investigation, and someone is going to find out just what happened to Grace on Halloween. The big question is who is going to go down for this.
We’ll find out in The Body season 1 finale!
