- Episode 6 (“Saints”) — Misty (Samantha Hanratty and Christina Ricci) destroys a flight recorder without blinking. You’ll still kind of root for her.
- Episode 10 (“Doomcoming”) — part psychedelic party, part attempted sacrifice, and fully unhinged.
While they pull back from the brink of murder that night, the walls of morality have crumbled. The season finale ends with the team drawing cards; the person drawing the Queen is sacrificed for food. The final shot of Jackie freezing to death outside the cabin—ostracized by the very group she once led—marks the definitive end of their childhood and the beginning of the "tribe."
