Revenge of the Island

Episode 8: You're Nothing

The episode opens with everyone gathered near Millie's death site, tension running high. Scary Girl, despite Caleb’s strong grip, somehow slips out of his hold with an eerie, almost unnatural agility. Axel immediately steps in front of Wayne, standing firm and ready to protect him. But Scary Girl doesn't attack. Instead, she simply giggles and runs off into the forest, her laughter fading as she disappears among the trees.

After exchanging bewildered looks, Wayne turns to Axel. “Uh, Axel, thanks for saving me and all,” he says, his voice filled with gratitude.

“It’s all good, Wayne. No one else here is dying on my watch,” Axel replies casually, though the determination in her voice is clear. Chef walks up to her, smiling.

“Great job, soldier,” he says, his tone proud.

Axel nods, appreciative of the praise. But the moment of calm is short-lived.

"Okay, that’s it! We gotta go! Now! We can’t stay here any longer,” Damien says urgently, his voice filled with desperation. Everyone nods in agreement—everyone except Julia.

“No, Damien, we can’t leave!” Julia tries to reason, but the panic in her voice is evident.

“C’mon, Julia, we tried. At least we can say that much,” Caleb responds, his tone calm but resigned.

“But—” Julia starts to argue, but Bowie cuts her off, his frustration boiling over.

“Oh my God, Julia! What don’t you understand?! Everyone wants to leave! It was your idea to come back here, and we could’ve died today!” Bowie’s voice cracks with anger, and for the first time since their ordeal began, he’s lost control.

The group falls silent, shocked by his outburst. Julia stands frozen, stunned by the venom in his words.

“Don’t you want to find Raj, Bowie? Huh?!” Julia shouts back, her voice shaking with emotion.

“Yes, Julia! With all my heart and soul!” Bowie yells, his voice raw. “I miss Raj every day. I cry every day, and I know I’m never going to truly recover, but at least I actually try to move on!” His voice breaks, the weight of his grief clear. The air around them grows thick with tension.

Julia is left speechless, her lips trembling.

“Unlike you!” Bowie continues, his words cutting deep. “You don’t even try to get over MK! You just let guilt and sadness consume you until you’re nothing!”

The silence that follows is deafening. Caleb covers his mouth, eyes wide, as he watches the scene unfold, unable to believe what he's hearing. No one moves, no one speaks. The emotional wound Bowie just tore open is too raw.

Julia stands there, her face pale with shock. Then, without another word, she storms off, her body trembling with unspoken pain. Wayne, seeing her run, jogs after her.

“Julia! You can’t just storm off! You could die out there!” Wayne pleads, his voice filled with concern.

“Good! I don’t care!” Julia shouts, shoving Wayne off of her, her voice cracking as she disappears into the trees.

Wayne stands there, stunned, before turning back to the group. No one speaks. Everyone just stares at the dark part of the forest Julia ran into, fear and uncertainty gripping their hearts.
