One of Us Is Next

Reporter Liz Rosen interviews Lance Weber, Brandon Weber’s father. Lance states that he cannot get in contact with anyone, the construction company, the mall, or even town officials who could provide details. He says there is always a responsible party.

One day later, on the Reddit subforum Vengeance Is Mine, Darkestmind posts that they’re mad that Bayview2020 has ghosted them. They say they aren’t afraid to “let this whole thing go up in flames” (151).

A week after Brandon’s death, Emma and Phoebe give Knox a ride home from school. Phoebe thinks about the new developments since Brandon’s passing: Sean and Jules are a couple, Knox and Maeve are barely speaking, and Phoebe has been spending a lot of time with Knox. From what Phoebe has heard, the Truth or Dare game pretty much ended after the revelation about Maeve and Knox. She thinks that maybe Brandon was behind the game since the texts stopped after his death. Oddly, Sean has initiated a bromance with Knox. Knox still can’t remember what happened that day at the construction site. Emma is acting civil toward Phoebe, and Phoebe guesses that Brandon’s death inspired her civility.

Phoebe impulsively invites Knox over, saying that he should play Bounty Wars with Owen.
