this is NOT because of blocking screenshots, it's because of HOW streaming sites use your computer's hardware to optimise performance, which means the thing rendering the video and the thing capturing your screen aren't the SAME thing. so they can't talk together.

Gwen and Ernesto decide they want to further their spiritual adventures (basically they want to help more spirits that haven’t been able to move on). And Finn? Well, he’s getting better but he still doesn’t have a path per se, so he’s going along for the ride.

They end up making contact with this old woman who claims she can increase spiritual abilities. Gwen wants more control and Ernesto just wants something. Finn thinks it’s a bad idea but he knows they’ll go with or without him so he tags along as muscle.

Unfortunately, this woman isn’t actually increasing spiritual abilities, she’s summoning demons and tricking people into giving access to their bodies.

Because she knows Ernesto has no way to see through what she’s doing, she starts with him. What she doesn’t know is Robin is there because when these dumbasses started looking into this shit he stopped leaving their sides (in my head he is actually only able to stick around because of his death’s strong tie to Finn. Finn is how he stays locked in). So when she gets Ernesto to open himself up for possession, Robin jumps into Ernesto’s body both to stop anything else from doing it and to warn the crew to gtfo.

A fight ensues. I like to think she has a couple of demon possessed people around. They fight them and through listening to Robin they manage to get the demons to release their holds on the bodies and then they gtfo.

However, Robin is still inside Ernesto. He doesn’t have full control of his body, though. It’s more like they’re both there and they are just taking turns talking so Ernesto looks like he’s just talking to himself. Robin can also control the body if Ernesto lets him. If they’re both trying to control it, it turns into a fight where his body is just jerking around.

Anyway, Robin tries to warn them about being more cautious, then determines he has to go (note: Finn is just in the background looking like someone kicked his puppy because they haven’t gotten to talk it’s just been Robin lecturing Ernesto and Gwen). But then… he can’t. He tries to leave Ernesto’s body but he’s unable to.

So now the story turns to them having to do research to get Robin out of Ernesto’s body.

While they do this we get a nice scene of Robin and Ernesto talking, even though it’s weird to watch. Robin tells Ernesto he’s proud of the man he’s become and that he’s happy things are going well with Gwen. Ernesto tells him he’s happy to have Robin here, even if it’s temporary. He’s missed him so much and has a ton of questions. Robin ends up telling the whole group that there are just some things about the afterlife that he can’t tell them and they have to accept that.

Later at night Finn is outside, smoking a regular cigarette. They’re at a hotel somewhere and Robin comes outside. He explains it’s just him and that Ernesto is sleeping, so he’s got control of the body. The last few days between them were awkward as fuck. They didn’t really talk and even when they did, it just seemed wrong and off like they were both afraid to talk.

They start small talking and Robin says he’s worried about Finn, and Finn gets snippy and basically says he doesn’t see why Robin cares. He obviously has nothing to say to him. And Finn says don’t worry, he gets it, he was just that one guy he knew when he was 13.

That’s when Robin claps back. He reminds Finney that for him, 13 years was all there was, and then says Finn was his best and only friend.

And Finn asks why he doesn’t want to talk to him then. And Robin kind of goes off. He *does* want to talk to him, but he’s also seen what Finn is like. He’s still trapped in the past and Robin doesn’t want to keep him there. Finn deserves to move on and live a happy life. And Robin can’t be part of it because he’s dead. He’s dead.

And Finn’s near tears because Robin’s not dead right now. He’s here right now. And fuck, why can’t he just stay? He’s here and can’t he please just stay?

And Robin reminds him it’s not his body, it’s Ernesto’s. It’s Ernesto’s life and he can’t take it from him or ask him to share forever. But then he looks at Finn and tells him it doesn’t mean he doesn’t wish there was a way. He also tells Finn that even though he wants him to move on, he should know that Robin is always looking out for him.

Finney asks if he was there when he locked himself out of the house at 2am and had to climb in through a window and caught Gwen and Ernesto making out.

Robin nods solemnly. “I gagged right there with you, buddy.”

And then they just start laughing. Finn asks if while Robin is here if they can please just be normal. Robin gives in, but tells Finn not to get used to it.

More research happens, we get some fun scenes of the crew having fun. Some funny scenes where Gwen is affectionate with Ernesto only for Robin to take control and make jokes about it at Ernesto’s expense to Finn. It’s a good time.

They finally find someone to help them (who also needs their help with finding some bodies and freeing some souls because we’ve gotta have action), and they’re all way more cautious this time. They help the spirits, then get their answer for how to get Robin out of Ernesto’s body.

It turns out the issue is simple: Robin can’t leave because Ernesto isn’t letting him. Ernesto’s soul is holding onto him and preventing him from leaving.

Robin tells Ernesto that he has to let him go, but Ernesto says he doesn’t want to. He doesn’t mind sharing his body. He’s missed him and doesn’t want to lose him again. Robin reminds him it’s not just about him. What about Gwen? How is he supposed to have a relationship when Robin is always there in the back of his mind?

That’s when Gwen pipes up and says she thinks he should stay, at least for longer. He can always change his mind later. But she says she knows how Ernesto feels and she understands it. She loves him and they can make it work. She wants Robin to have more time. And she wants Ernesto and Finn to have more time with him. They’ve all been happier with Robin there. So, she wants him to stay.

Seeing the other two have already asked, Finn asks, “Please, Robin.”

Flash forward to a scene with the 3 of them, but really 4, because SURPRISE Robin stayed. They’re on their way to some location that Gwen dreamed about, ready to help some kids. Ernesto is driving in the front seat and he and Gwen are holding hands. Meanwhile, when Finn talks he’s leaned so far forward that he’s resting his chin on Robin’s shoulder.

And basically from here the franchise is the four of them helping lost spirits, while the Blake siblings navigate dating brothers who are stuck in the same body (although the studios are cowards about it, so stuff with Finn and Robin probably always can be brushed off as guys being dudes even though it’s super gay).

Robin is dead.

All those other kids are dead,and they will not be coming back.

Finney needs to move on without Robing by his side.

Everything is the same up to the crew realizing that Robin can’t move on because Ernesto isn’t letting go. Then conversations go differently.

Ernesto still tells Robin that he wants him to stay. But Robin tells him that he can’t do that. It’s Ernesto’s life, and he needs to really think about what he’s even suggesting. He’d be giving up any and all forms of privacy. While Ernesto’s mind needs to sleep, Robin’s doesn’t. He’d never have another moment to himself again. He’d never have a moment alone with Gwen again. It wouldn’t be fair and it wouldn’t work. He tells Ernesto he doesn’t want to share his life. He wants Ernesto to have his own, just like Robin had. Because even if it was short, it’d been his, and until the end, it’d been damn good.

Gwen is crying at this point. Robin is the one talking and he’s calm, but Ernesto’s tears are escaping anyway. Finn is stone faced but his eyes are watering.

Ernesto finally talks again and says he missed feeling close with him. Robin calls him an idiot and says they’ll always be close; they’re brothers. And Robin is never as gone as he thinks. And as his big brother, he’s asking him to listen.

Ernesto finally nods in acceptance, which is when Finn breaks.

Gwen reaches over to try to comfort him, but he pulls away.

Robin finally approaches him.

He says something like, “You thought you might just be some kid I knew when I was 13, Finn. But for me, things have never really changed. I still feel the same as I did at 13, back when all I wanted was to eat enough candy with you to almost get sick, then convince you to go with me and my uncle on Saturday night to see the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Back when I kept thinking about how maybe if during the movie you looked scared I could get away with putting my hand on top of yours or even just sticking out my hand far enough so our hands would be touching. You were the love of my life, Finn.” He reaches out at this point and is holding Finn’s hand. “But I’m just your first love. You’ll have more, and I want you to.”

(Note, the studio would never let this be as gay as it needs to be, so imagine instead he says Finn was his best friend, but Finn will have more friends).

Finn shakes his head. He can’t quite say it, but it’s obvious he means no, Robin will always be the love of his life, too.

Still Robin continues. He says that when he told Finn to live for him, this isn’t what he imagined. He wants so much more for him.

Finn finally finds his voice enough to cry out that it’s too hard.

But Robin shakes his head. Says not for the Finn he knows. Not for the smartest, bravest guy he ever knew. Not for his fighter. It’s hard, but he can. But he needs to let Robin go, knowing that Robin is never all the way gone. That he’s there cheering for him. But that he can’t be what holds Finn back. That he can’t stand that when he knows Finn has amazing things coming for him if he just lets it happen.

Finn finally shakes his head in approval, saying something like, “I’ll miss you.”

And Robin reminds him he doesn’t need to. He’s around.

Finn nods and Robin motions for Gwen and he hugs both of them, and he whispers in Gwen’s ear, “Please take care of them for me.” And she nods with tears in her eyes.

Finally Robin moves away from the Blake’s and tells Ernesto that it’s time. They say they love each other one last time, and then Ernesto lets him go.

The scene ends with the three of them crying and holding each other.

The next scene is a time skip. We see Finn in a library reading about something space related.

A girl (could be a guy also, but obviously this scene would need to be handled more subtly due to the time period) his age comes up to him and says she’s sorry for interrupting, but that she works there and has been curious for awhile about what led from the jump from the supernatural checkouts to astrophysics.

Finn looks surprised but says he knows, she’s checked him out books before. Then tells her he’s starting at college in the spring and is trying to prepare. He’s decided to focus on that instead of the supernatural.

She smiles and then confesses that she’s actually wanted to ask him out for awhile but has been too shy to ask.

Finn hesitates but finally says that he’s sorry but that he can’t.

The girl takes it well and says it’s okay and that she hopes this won’t make his library visits awkward. She just wanted to be brave and shoot her shot.

She say goodbye and starts to walk away but Finn calls for her to wait.

He then starts rambling like, “Look, I am the last person in the world who should be dating anyone. I’m a complete wreck; I can’t fall asleep without smoking a joint first, the only person I know how to have a conversation with is my sister, and I’m always looking over my shoulder. But if you wanted to be friends or something-” At this point Finn just stops and sighs, realizing how it all must sound. “Nevermind. I sound like a lunatic-”

But the girl interrupts him and says she wouldn’t mind a friend. She thinks Finney sounds interesting and she could introduce him to some people she goes to the local college with. She then says she has her lunch break in a few minutes and asks if Finn wants to go to the restaurant across the street as friends.

He says yes and says he’ll meet her at the front desk. As she walks away, we see him meaningfully look at the seat across from him that’s pushed out just a little. Finn puts his hand on the table and then slowly moves his fingers across the table. He smiles tightly, then nods.

The camera pans down to the table and we see Robin’s hand is touching Finn’s just like Robin had mentioned wanting. Finn then pulls his hand away and closes the book and takes off to the front of the library. We then hear Robin say, “You’ve got this, Finn.” Before his hand disappears. (Note, this is a shot for the audience, it’s obvious that Finn can’t actually see, hear, or feel Robin. He’s just choosing to believe that since Robin said he’s always there that he’ll get the memo and touch hands, which he does).

Then during the credits you see Finn talking to library girl and walking out with her (music is playing so no dialogue, but it seems to be going well).
