In the first episode of Bear Lake, we meet 17-year-old Kayleen in 1989 - struggling with her mother’s death and her attraction toward her bad-girl classmate Tanya - and Emily in 1859, who follows a handsome Mormon missionary from England to Utah in search of something to believe in.

And then there’s the Bear Lake Monster: he just wants someone to love, but for now he’s stuck with native coral and old issues of Hustler.

As all three stories unfurl, Bear Lake explores what it means to love in a world where everything dies, and how to find the strength to live in the face of grief.

Episode 2 finds both of our heroines at a personal crossroads, as Emily faces a decision that could change her life forever and Kayleen finds herself growing closer to Tanya after witnessing something truly shocking. As for the Monster…well, he thinks he’s found the cure for his endless, yearning loneliness. The only question is what he’ll do to get it.

While the Monster lurks in the shallows, biding his time, Emily embarks on a journey that will take her farther from home than she ever could have imagined. In 1989, Kayleen finds herself confiding in Tanya as she struggles to process what they saw at the lake.

CONTENT WARNING: This episode features sexualized violence. 

Unsettled by what she's learned about their expedition, Emily seeks out Sam for a serious conversation. Back in 1989, Kayleen and Tanya spend more and more time together as they try to understand what happened to their missing classmate. Meanwhile, the Monster decides that he's done waiting - a monster is not a person, but people aren't the only ones who deserve love...at least, that's what he tells himself.
