Message in a Bottle

Message in a Bottle is the eighth episode of Season One of Greater Boston, and the eighth episode overall.

Interviews
Jeff Van Dreason asks Greater Boston residents what makes Boston great, and what could make it greater. He also asks them about the best message they've ever received.

The Wrong Ocean
Dimitri writes to tell Leon that the submarine crew found something in Atlantis. Dimitri decided that he was too focused on Atlantis and not focused enough on the search, and so he continued with the crew, searching for Atlantis in the Pacific.

Dimitri and the crew found a massive whale-like creature, killed by harpoons. A small party, including Dimitri, went inside the carcass and found a device the size of a small car. They carried it back aboard the submarine. Dimitri figured out how to open it and decided that he couldn't allow Captain Starkey to have it. He tells Leon that he's writing the letter before he climbs in the device, and a crew member will push him into the ocean so that he can activate it and see what happens.

Gemini Nature
Michael calls Nica and apologizes for being drunk at Leon's funeral. He admits that he's still living in Leon's apartment and paying bills. He has most of Leon's belongings packed up and tells Nica that she can pick them up, including letters from Dimitri.

Michael invites Nica to ThirdSight for a seance. He's been following Leon's instructions, including his meal schedule, and keeping his apartment in good upkeep. He's also started keeping a wall calendar to help him visualize what he wants. Michael is nervous about the seance because he doesn't want to ask for more from Leon, but he offers her the chance to sit in on it.

The Seance
After taking over Gemma's job at ThirdSight, Extinction Event decides that he and Michael got off on the wrong foot. In order to reset his relationship, he holds a seance so that Michael can talk to Leon. Michael brought Nica, who read Dimitri's letters while waiting, but Michael seemed to be nervous.

Shortly after the seance started, Michael felt sick and left Nica by herself. Extinction Event tried to call Leon, despite Nica's clear discomfort. After a couple minutes, a letter arrived via pneumatic tube that said "Danehy," and included an excerpt from Leon's calendar in 1996. Nica was upset by the letter and left abruptly.
