Summary

Henrietta has stopped speaking. At St. Rosalia Indian School in 1905, silence is the only weapon left to her. The nuns mistake it for surrender. They don’t see how compassion slips between the cracks: a blanket to a shivering girl, a crust of bread for a starving boy, a circle of children daring to call magic into being with their hands. When a glowing light answers Henrietta’s defiance, the children learn to believe again—though belief always comes with a cost.

Back in Oak Bluffs, Maya sees the same light. And now she wants answers. Who were Henrietta’s people? What words set her free? With Lupe’s help—and a genealogist who knows the Wampanoag roots of this island—Maya begins a search her father would never understand. Robert, meanwhile, is losing clients, losing patience, and perhaps, losing his grip. He finds Lupe at grief counseling, and their past lives brush against the present in ways neither expected.

At Moonstone Rescue, a golden retriever’s broken leg tests the line between sanctuary and science. At Jean’s art show, Maya enlists her friends in a ridiculous sabotage campaign to keep her dad away from the witch. And at the edge of the farm, Axel Grayson makes his move—sending his realtor with offers of money, sentiment, and thinly veiled threats.

Written by Dominique Mouton.

Starring Vanessa Richardson, Madison Griggs, Rainbow Dickerson, Zeke Alton, Sarah Elmaleh, Angel Harper, Amanda Christine, David Reeves Tordilla, Parker Johnson, Derek Mehn, Felisha Wong, and Sarah Phillips.

This is what happens when light returns to the silenced. When the words of your ancestor call across generations. When Oak Bluffs decides who belongs, and who will be cast out.

Executive Producers: Shaan Sharma, Mark Knell, Jack Levy

0:00.0	In episode one of Moonstone Rescue, 14-year-old Maya Rhodes grappled with life after the death of her mom, Nora.
0:15.0	Robert Rhodes, once a warm and goofy dad, had grown cold and withdrawn, consumed by grief and the pressures of keeping
0:22.8	his struggling veterinary clinic afloat. The strained relationship between him and Maya
0:27.8	left her feeling isolated and alone. Luckily for Maya, her cat Henry is always by her side.
0:35.0	Maya found comfort in Nora's sketchbook, which chronicled the story of their
0:38.8	ancestor, Henrietta, a resilient young indigenous girl who was taken from her tribe and forced
0:45.0	into an Indian boarding school in 19th century, California. Henrietta's magical connection to an
0:51.3	orange cat became both a source of strength and a cause of trouble.
0:56.7	Maya also had a not-so-secret admirer, Maverick, a sensitive jock whose father, Axel Grayson,
1:03.8	was the town's biggest real estate developer. Jackie and Hugo, Maya's best friends, spread rumors

1:46.5	community. Later, at a local bar, Robert crossed paths with Lupe. Her sharp, perceptive comments
1:53.3	about his self-loathing and sarcasm left him intrigued, though he remained unaware that Lupe was
1:59.7	on the path to becoming his biggest competition.
2:02.6	At Maya's middle school graduation, Robert's frustration boiled over,
2:07.6	leading him to lash out at Maya and publicly embarrassing both of them in front of the community,
2:12.6	and creating an even deeper rift in their already fractured relationship.
2:18.6	Axel Grayson approached Robert to warn him about Lupe and Moonstone Rescue.
2:23.5	However, Axel's motives were far from pure,
