Ellery eats lunch with Gary and his daughter Grace, who seem willing to share details of Matt’s death with her since she also found a body. Grace reveals that they hiked to the Broken Point to spread the ashes of her mother, who died five months prior. Resort staff announces that all auxiliary spaces on the property are closed, limiting guests to their rooms, the Main House, and the restaurant. Ravi suggests that the guests share their talents and expertise in order to entertain each other while they wait to be rescued.
Masseuse-turned-influencer Morgan offers to massage guests, and Ravi ensures that he, Nina, and Ellery are first on the list. Ellery wonders how the spa is being powered. When Morgan refuses to tell the group where she met Maddox, Ravi suggests that she’s hiding something. While waiting for her massage, Ellery has flashbacks of the fatal accident she survived with Abby. She begins weeping during her massage and feels embarrassed, but Morgan assures her that people often get emotional during treatments. As they leave the treatment room, the power goes out.
