Being home recalls memories of the twins' childhood, when their mother would tell them fairy tales of a runaway princess and her two goblin friends. The twins and Mary-Ann compiled these stories into an illustrated journal called the "Book of Goblins", which they find in the house. 

They also painfully remember the events surrounding Mary-Ann's death; Tyler had Alyson cut his hair to look more like a boy, and when he went to show Mary-Ann, she chased him with a double-barreled shotgun onto the house's pier. 

Tyler believes Mary-Ann was a transphobe who had a psychotic break when she realized Tyler was transgender.

As they clear out Mary-Ann's bedroom, they discover a book of parenting advice on raising a transgender child, alongside a leaflet for a gay conversion camp. Both were given to Mary-Ann by her devout religious friend Tessa Vecci, who runs a local café and convenience store with her husband, Tom, who is running for town mayor. From Tessa, the twins learn Mary-Ann became increasingly erratic in the weeks leading to her death. 

Mary-Ann came to Tessa for advice about Tyler, and reacted angrily when Tessa suggested the camp. Tyler and Alyson visit the Delos police station and meet Eddy, hoping for information on Mary-Ann's state of mind. They request to see the file for Mary-Ann's death, but are denied.

In flashback, it is revealed that it was actually Alyson who killed Mary-Ann, stabbing her with the scissors she had used to cut Tyler's hair, with Tyler opting to take the blame to save Alyson from the repercussions. Alyson begins to suffer with post-traumatic stress.

The next morning, Tyler and Alyson recall a memory of Mary-Ann arguing with Eddy outside their home. They break into the police archive and uncover files surrounding Mary-Ann, learning Tessa wanted Eddy to call social services and have Tyler and Alyson taken away. 

After discovering their break-in, Eddy admits his visit had been to warn Mary-Ann. The twins corner Tessa, who defends her actions by claiming Mary-Ann isolated herself from the Delos community and was endangering her children through poor parenting. Tyler can either forgive her or not.

Tyler and Alyson return home to find the barn on fire, and Tyler is knocked to the ground by the fleeing arsonist. The arsonist had tried to access a compartment beneath the barn floor containing a locked box, inside which they find letters from a lover of Mary-Ann's attempting to pressure Mary-Ann into an abortion. 

Tyler remembers another figure watching from afar as Mary-Ann died, and the twins to recall a memory of Mary-Ann arguing with an unseen man on a boat, threatening to kill him if he attempted to take her children.

Alyson steps away from their search due to emotional exhaustion and anxiety. Consumed with guilt for Mary-Ann's death, Alyson's mental health rapidly deteriorates, leading to a severe panic attack. 

At the police station, visiting Eddy, Alyson can either admit killing Mary-Ann to Eddy or not. Alyson then visits Sam and asks if he is their father. He denies it, but his old photographs of their house reveal a secret loft above the barn. 

Alyson and Tyler investigate the loft and find a room of complex puzzles. The twins solve the puzzles using the Book of Goblins, and realize the "fairy-tales" Mary-Ann told them were actually metaphors for her troubled past - born to an overbearing family, she fell pregnant and fled to Delos Crossing to raise the baby alone, but the baby died shortly after the move. 

Tyler and Alyson find a picture of their late half-sibling Leo, along with a letter addressed to them in which Mary-Ann hopes that they now understand her better, and that she did her best for them. The twins realize that Mary-Ann suffered a breakdown upon learning that social services would take her only surviving children away.
