I think there's
something wrong with this.
Help!
[CHOKING]
Simon's dead.
They think one of us did it.
What Simon did off-campus
was his business.
You read my post this morning?
So you guys really do have
some kind of Murder Club?
That's what everyone's
calling it on Instagram.
I trusted them because
they're the only ones
who know what I'm going through.
Especially Nate.
Can't we just wake up
from this nightmare?
It'll dissolve as soon
as you put it in water.
I told you, nothing to
tie me to any of this.
I guess I shouldn't have recorded
all of our conversations then, dumbass.

They want us to believe that
during Jake's Halloween party,
he just decides to run away.

Okay. Besties, get this.
Ever since Jake "ran off to Mexico,"
Murder Club has been
totally avoiding each other,
like, to a suspicious degree.
Even Bronwyn and Maeve, who we all know
were doing that good girl/bad boy thing,
haven't been seen together.
But today, who did I see
huddled up in the parking lot
looking extremely guilty?
Murder Club.
And they've added a new member:
Simon Kelleher's little sidekick, Janae.
Try to tell me that's not weird.
Um, well, I can't,
'cause that is so weird.
Exactly.
So why are Bayview's
Most Wanted meeting again?
Have they realized their
cover-up can't last forever?
Jake's own brother has told me
he thinks the police got it wrong.
The Riordans hired some
CIA-level private investigators
to look for him in Mexico,
and they still haven't found anything.
And you guys know I love Jake,
but I played hide-and-seek
with him as a kid,
and let me tell you, that boy,
easy to find.
Bronwyn, I was just telling my followers
about your Murder Club meeting,
now featuring Janae.
Fascinating.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Is that a denial?
I have witnesses, including
your little sister.
Back the fuck off, Vanessa.
We're not playing your stupid game.
Okay, um, this is not a game.
This is a movement,
and we're onto something, army.
It's, um it's Evan, right?
You and Bronwyn used to fuck?
[CLEARS THROAT]
Not quite.
But you know her pretty well?
Well, I thought I did,
yeah, but I was wrong.
Wrong as in you didn't
realize she was a cheater,
a liar, and a murderer?
I don't think she's a murderer.
Aw, Evan, you used to not think
she was a cheater and a liar.
You should tell the
world the truth about her.
I'd actually rather never
speak about her again, okay?
I'm moving on.
If it were me and my ex
dumped me for a drug dealer
and possibly killed someone,
I'd want to talk about it.
Hey, trust me, Evan.
