The episode begins with a tense atmosphere inside the cabin. MK, visibly distressed, pleads with the group as they sit in silence, their expressions ranging from skepticism to outright fear. "Please! You have to believe me! Scary Girl and I are innocent. We wouldn’t hurt anyone! Well... I wouldn't.."

"You expect us to believe that after what happened? Four people are dead!" Julia shouts. MK tries to approach Julia, reaching out for her, but Julia yells, pushing her away. "Stay away from me, MK! I can’t trust you!"

MK steps back, her expression shifting from anxious to sad.

As the sun rises, the peaceful morning is shattered by a horrifying scream.

"NO! NO! NO!" Damien yells out.

The remaining contestants scramble out of their beds, confusion and panic filling the air. They rush to the center of the cabin, only to find Nichelle’s lifeless body sprawled across the floor, a small knife embedded in her abdomen, multiple stab wounds marring her skin.

"Oh God… we need to get her out of the cabin!" Caleb says, quickly, Caleb carries Nichelle’s body out of the cabin, trying to spare everyone from the gruesome sight. The group stands frozen, horror etched on their faces.

Julia's gaze falls on MK, who is staring at Scary Girl with wide eyes. Scary Girl’s lips curl into a smirk, causing Julia’s heart to race. "That’s the knife MK took to the confessional!" Julia says half-angry, half-terrified.

Confessional - Ripper:
"I just woke up, what the farts is even going on? I don't know who this killer is, but they're clearly not an alpha. Unlike me of course."

A wave of realization washes over the group, and panic erupts. They quickly turn on MK, not even giving her a chance to defend herself. "Get her out! Now!" Damien yells.

With frightened expressions, the group forcibly pushes MK out of the cabin, slamming the door shut behind her.

"No! Please! You have to let me back in! I didn’t do this! I swear!" MK pleads, frantically banging on the cabin door.

As the day drags on, MK’s desperate cries are intermittently heard, growing fainter and more frantic as evening approaches. The remaining contestants try to distract themselves, but the atmosphere is thick with tension.

Confessional  - Bowie:
"I felt a tad bad kicking MK out, but hey--can you blame me?? She is hella suspicious."

Night envelops the camp, and the group huddles together, too on edge to sleep. The only sounds are the occasional thuds and yells from MK outside, begging to be let back in. She knows if she doesn't try, the killer will most likely get her.

Suddenly, the banging stops. The group exchanges wary glances, a sense of foreboding creeping over them. "What happened to her?" Wayne whispers.

Before anyone can respond, MK's voice pierces the silence. "…wait… oh… OH, HOLY SHIT! WHAT THE FUCK?! HELP! HEEELPPPPP!" The screams echo through the woods, fading as if MK is running away. The group is frozen in shock, guilt washing over them.

Confessional  - Julia:
"Shit.. MK uhm.. might not be the killer after all.."

As the frantic screams become distant, the group is left in stunned silence, the weight of their decision crashing down on them.

Bowie, concerned, "What do we do now? We can’t just leave her out there."

"We have to. What if she really is the killer?" Axel says to Bowie, and everyone.

Confessional - Axel:
"She could be playing us, you never know. To be fair, it's difficult for me to think of a good reason MK would have for being the killer. What's her motive? Some killers don't have a reason though, people are fucked in the head."

Julia, consumed by guilt, quietly cries herself to sleep that night, not wanting anyone to see her vulnerable, haunted by the thought that her refusal to trust MK might have cost her friend’s life.
