MK is sitting on the wooden floor of the cabin, still in visible pain from her injuries. She glances over at Caleb and says, "Have you ever thought that the killer isn’t one of us? I mean, that makes the most sense, right?"

Caleb pauses, considering her words. "You might be onto something... It’s possible. Ugh, your wounds are really bad. I’m gonna head to the medical tent and get some supplies." He stands, turning to the rest of the group. "Anyone wanna come with me to the medical tent?"

Confessional  - Emma:
"Chase gave me this bracelet after I got eliminated in season 2... I miss him.."

Emma, still wearing the bracelet Chase had given her, nods quickly. "Yeah, I will. I can’t stand being in this cabin a second longer." She gets up and follows Caleb to the door.

"Be careful, you guys!" Bowie shouts after them as Caleb and Emma leave the cabin.

MK shuffles onto a random bed, groaning from the pain, and Julia quietly slips beside her, concern and guilt etched across her face. "I’m so sorry, MK," Julia says, her voice trembling, tears welling up in her eyes.

MK forces a smile, though anyone could see it’s fake. "It’s okay, Julia. You’ve apologized enough already."

But Julia shakes her head, tears spilling down her cheeks. "No, it’s not okay! You wouldn’t be in this state if it weren’t for me!" She’s crying now, guilt pouring out with each word.

MK, despite the pain she’s in, reaches up and gently places her hand on Julia’s cheek. "Stop blaming yourself… hm... Is that my jacket?" MK asks with a teasing smirk.

Julia blushes a little, feeling flustered. "Uh, yeah... I found it all bloody, hanging from a hook in the toolshed. I—I missed you, so I… I grabbed it."

MK grins, still teasing despite everything. "Ooo, why? Do you like me?"

Julia, caught off guard, laughs, trying to brush it off. "You wish."

They both laugh, the tension between them easing, though Julia knows deep down that MK wasn’t completely wrong. She did have feelings for her, feelings she hadn’t even fully realized until MK was gone.
