Killer Getaway: Summer Camp is the first season of the travel reality competition show devised by SJ productions. The show follows a group of individuals travelling around in a select number of recreational vehicles (RV's) from a starting point to a finishing point across a predetermined route. At each city/town pit-stop, the group compete in either an individual or team-based immunity challenge to win the role of 'tour leader'. The worst performing individual in each challenge is put up for 'repatriation', along with another individual of the tour leader's choosing. Everyone other than the three stated cast a vote in the deliberation for who they wish to repatriate, with the individual receiving the most votes kicked-off the road trip. When only two road trippers remain, a jury consisting of the last seven eliminated players vote for who they wish to win the £50,000 prize. The series is hosted by Big Brother UK alumni Lincoln Mackenzie (Season 1 & All-Stars) and Sinead McGrath (Season 2 & All-Stars).
This season began in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and ended in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg. The tour consisted of the 'Benelux' (Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg) countries, visiting nine cities in total. The winner of the season was Austin Visser, defeating Siobhan Byrne in a 6-1 vote to become champion of the road trip.

===Episode #1 - Welcome to Camp Crosswood: Part 1===
At Camp Crosswood in Vermont, USA; eleven brand new camp counsellors are driven to the ‘Head Counsellor’s’ cabin. Upon arrival, the eleven counsellors exit the bus (which immediately departs), leaving them alone with new Head Counsellor Nancy and retiring Head Counsellor Troy. Troy welcomes them all to Camp Crosswood, letting everybody know that they have just one week to prepare before the campers arrival for their summer of fun. Troy begins reading off a checklist of things that the counsellors need to complete, eventually passing the list and the reigns of the camp over to Nancy, who quickly informs everyone of her ‘no-nonsense’ attitude. Before leaving, Troy tells the group that he’ll be taking the last jeep out of camp, and only when the campers arrive in a week’s time will there be a quick way out of Camp Crosswood. He does however point out the boathouse situated on the lake, in which a small motorboat may offer a solution “in the case of an emergency”. Troy then says his goodbyes to the group, grabbing his bag and heading off for the open-garage to depart from camp, leaving the new arrivals to get to know one another.
Nancy decides to begin interviewing her new staff as part of a ‘get to know you’ scheme, calling on Jerry as the first to step foot into her private cabin. The other ten counsellors opt to either take their bags into the lodgings (which have been split into a conjoined male-female accommodation), or spend time looking around Camp Crosswood’s grounds. In Nancy’s cabin, Jerry is being quizzed about his already apparent drug-habit, leading to an awkward confession about marijuana use. Nancy surprises Jerry by announcing that whilst she’ll be confiscating his drugs, that she has no issue with him smoking in his spare time once he’s completed daily tasks. She makes him laugh by claiming “unless of course you are sharing with me”. Jerry later admits that ‘no-nonsense’ Nancy is a lot calmer than he expected. Lindsey walks back from Crosswood Lake, passing by the open garage as she does so. She looks in the distance and sees that Troy’s car has yet to depart, with Troy still sat inside glaring in her direction. Lindsey nervously waves, quickly walking back to her accommodation after he fails to stop staring or acknowledge her greeting. She quickly finds Jesse and Jerry running around and messing about in the grass outside the boy’s cabin, with both apologising after it doesn’t seem they’re taking the new roles seriously. Lindsey complains about “the creepy old leader” still being here. This catches the attention of Hollie who was walking past, questioning Lindsey as to why Troy wouldn’t have left over the last ninety-minutes. Lindsey seems frazzled by this too, having not thought to deeply into it other than the intense glare that Troy was giving her. Hollie and Jesse both volunteer to go and check out the garage, leaving Jerry to take a creeped-out Lindsey inside.
Jesse and Hollie arrive at the garage, and like Lindsey find Troy staring intensely ahead without leaving the camp like expected. Jesse suggests he go and fetch Nancy, but Hollie pressures him to follow her into the garage and confront Troy head-on. Hollie forcefully calls-out to Troy, eventually tapping on his jeep window whilst Jesse stands back. After failing to get a response or any movement from Troy, Hollie opens the car door, horrified to discover that Troy eviscerated, with his internal organs spread-out over his legs and the car floor below. Hollie screams for Jesse to “go get help”, leading Jesse to run from the scene in panic, leaving a braver Hollie to cover the scene as best she can using a tarpaulin. Word quickly gets around that a murder has taken place, with Nancy gathering the group outside the garage to investigate. After several minutes, it dawns on the entire group that nobody has entered or left the camp (as no boats or cars were seen entering, and the nearest town being a 4 hour walking distance away). Therefore, Nancy announces that the killer is amongst them now, or hiding somewhere in the camp. Spencer suggests that they immediately call for help, something the entire group agrees with, following Nancy to her cabin where the only landline of the camp resides. However, Nancy reappears moments later, declaring that somebody has purposely cut the phone line, leaving them isolated from the outside due to the lack of mobile signal at Camp Crosswood. Panic quickly ensues over the group, as everybody speculates as to how much direct danger they are currently in. Bryson suddenly calls out Lindsey (the first person to discover Troy remained at the camp), calling it suspicious that she was alone around the Lake whilst Troy was likely murdered. Lindsey yells back at Bryson, asking where he was during the first ninety minutes after he too is unable to provide a solid alibi. Lindsey then storms into the accommodation, not wanting to put up with scrutiny off somebody she hardly knows. Suddenly, Lindsey’s screams alert everybody to charge inside after her, discovering a bloodied letter laid across her bedsheets. Nancy pulls apart the letter and reads aloud: “Camp Crosswood is such a lonely place, a lonely place to die. That certainly did prove the case, for old Head Counsellor Troy. You can try to run, but you will not escape. We’ve got you trapped, we’ve sealed your fate. Read the riddles, the thing you drive, you might just see tomorrow, you might survive.”
===Episode #2 - Welcome to Camp Crosswood: Part 2===
After some individuals laugh-off the ominous letter, others quickly speculate as to what the ‘riddle’ may be leading to. A sudden rush of bodies begin making their way to ‘the thing you drive’, with everybody speculating that it is referring to Troy’s car. Despite the riddle suggesting a reward, Jesse opts not to run ahead with the others, instead remaining at the accommodation, where he begins searching through everybody’s bags. At the garage, another note lays waiting for the group, reading that the location of ‘Troy’s death’ will provide an ‘advantage for two’. A majority of the group point towards the car, throwing Troy’s lifeless corpse out the way as they frantically look around the interior of the bloodied jeep for advantages. Alternatively, Jerry notices blood outside the jeep, with a faint path going out towards the back of the garage, alongside Troy’s bag which has been left outside the jeep. Jerry follows the trail and finds a ‘head start’ poster stapled to the back of the garage, with Sommar rushing over and grabbing the second poster. The group begin discussing what happened, realising that Troy was murdered before he ever got into the jeep, and that the killer opted to position his dissected body inside as part of a “sick charade”. After the entire group swear to find the killer, Spencer nervously points out that the initial letter mentioned “we’ve” twice; alluding to the fact that there is certainly more than one killer. Upon this revelation, Quentin realises that Jesse is missing and didn’t attend the search with everybody else.
The eleven garage searchers head to the accommodation cabins, catching Jesse in the act of searching through everyone’s things. A panicked Jesse declares that he was searching for any clues as to who may have committed the murder, but with every word raises more suspicion with the incredibly angry group. Nancy decides to resume her ‘get to know you’ sessions, believing they may hold further use now she knows “at least two” of her counsellors are killers. She calls on Lindsey for the first meeting, taking her back to her private cabin. Bryson, Hollie and Phoebe watch the pair as they head off, agreeing that they find Nancy “questionable”, and note that her control over the group could be an easy position for the killer to be if they wished to knock everybody out. At the meeting, Nancy tries to gage as to who Lindsey suspects, believing her to be a person of interest after being the individual who discovered Troy was still at the camp. Lindsey seems nervous in the conversation, saying that other than arguing with Bryson she isn’t sure who seems aggressive enough to commit murder. She does however note that Phil gives her “a worrisome gut feeling”, pointing out that his eyes always seem “shifty” when the group are together. She also says that she faintly remembers seeing him alone on a walk whilst she was looking out at the lake, all of which Nancy writes down in a private journal. Back at the accommodation cabins, Bryson takes a suspected Jesse outside for a one-on-one talk, letting Jesse know that he’s under deep suspicion with the group. Jesse pleads with Bryson to realise that he wasn’t trying to be suspicious, but that he wanted to get a leg-up on the killer whoever he/she may be. Bryson tells Jesse that he should share any information with him to use to their advantage, but Jesse regretfully informs him that he “found nothing”.
Later in the day, the twelve competitors head outside where they find twelve taken apart remote control cars beside a racecourse. A note tells the group that they must put their cars together (a generally easy task) before placing the car on the course, successfully completing two laps. The first individual to complete two laps will be given ‘immunity’ from being murdered by the killers that evening. The note also informs the group that the individual who performs worst in the task will have a higher chance at being murdered, with this being combined with killer preference and a deliberation vote taking place later in the day. For winning the riddle, Jerry and Sommar both have their cars half assembled upon the start of the challenge, giving them a ‘head start’ on the competition. During the task, Sommar’s head start proves useful after she’s able to get ahead along with Bryson, Heather and Phoebe. In the end, it is Heather who finishes the two laps first, guaranteeing that she’ll see another sunrise at Camp Crosswood. Alternatively, Hollie, Phil and Quentin visibly struggle in the task, with Phil finishing just behind Hollie to claim a last place finish. After the challenge, Sommar and Phoebe decide to pull Jesse for a talk, wanting to get a read on whether or not they find his actions suspicious. As the conversation progresses, both girls tell Jesse that they believe him, and don’t see any signs of lies in his eyes as he recounts his side of the story. Despite things looking up for Jesse, tensions in the camp continue to grow after it is discovered that Troy’s jeep has been tampered with, and that somebody has intentionally sabotaged it as a means of escape.
At nightfall, the group head one by one to the campfire where they cast a private vote for who they believe is a killer amongst them. The individual (multiple in case of a tie) with the highest number of votes will find themselves more likely to find themselves murdered. In the interest of fairness, killers cast ‘dummy votes’ here that do not count towards the actual tally. During the vote, several individuals are shown to have their names written down; including Bryson, Hollie, Jesse, Lindsey, Nancy and Phil. The group begin to pack in for the night, with some separating to be alone during this difficult time. Nancy retires to her cabin, where it is revealed that she has a shotgun hidden beside her desk. Phil goes for a run around the lake, wanting to clear his head after suspicion has recently fallen on him. Hollie goes to the garage where the jeep has been propped up with a car jack so the break lines can be inspected. Jesse sits alone outside the back of the accommodation cabins, sighing to himself over his potentially fatal mistake of searching bags. Hollie slides under the car, taking a look at the break lines herself after being unable to sleep. An unseen individual walks into the garage after her, seemingly being recognised by Hollie, who confirms that “the break lines are finished”. The unseen assailant reveals a sledge hammer in their possession, taking a long-hard swing at the car jack, breaking it and forcing the front of the jeep to come crashing down on top of Hollie’s head. The force of the jeep crushes Hollie’s skull, leaving her body wriggling for a few moments as blood oozes out from beneath the jeep. The killer drops the sledge hammer by the body, calming walking out towards the cabins.
===Episode #3 - A Shallow Grave===
The next morning, the counsellors sit around the table in the dining cabin after Heather and Phoebe opted to make oatmeal for the group. It is noted that Hollie hasn’t attended breakfast, with nobody certain that they’ve seen her since before going to bed. Sommar mentions that Hollie had looked into fixing the car, something the others weren’t fully aware of. As a result, Heather goes searching for Hollie alone, beginning her search with the garage. Upon arrival, she finds the bloodied and crushed body of Hollie laying partially beneath the sabotaged jeep, screaming to alert others to the discovery. The other ten counsellors arrive on the scene, all horrified to discover another murder has taken place. Spencer immediately enters a panic, grabbing a nearby screwdriver and threatening the others to stay away from him. In a state of wild paranoia, he tries to force himself to vomit, not trusting food prepared by others’ hands. Jerry eventually manages to talk Spencer down, taking the jittery bookworm back to the accommodation cabin, leaving the others to clear up what remains of Hollie. On the way back, Jerry sneaks Spencer into Nancy’s cabin and steals a portion of his contraband marijuana, smoking it with Spencer behind their cabin in order to “relax”. Spencer admits that he’s never smoked before, coughing profusely during the process, but later thanks Jerry for his efforts at helping him. Bryson and Sommar drag the corpse of Hollie out from under the jeep, wrapping it and neatly laying her beside Troy’s corpse which has identically been placed at the back of the garage. They decide to close off the garage together, noting it as an area where now two murders have taken place, wanting to prevent a third. As they walk back, the duo discuss Jerry’s strange response to Spencer’s breakdown, believing his ‘funny’ act to have dropped almost unnaturally. Bryson questions whether Jerry is playing two characters, something which Sommar believes could make him “a psychotic killer”.
Questions begin to arise as to who had time alone in which they could have murdered Hollie. Jesse is able to provide an alibi after he notes that he was smoking behind the cabin, something which several others confirm having seen and smelt over the period of thirty minutes. Jerry further supports Jesse’s innocence by proposing that he saw Jesse in his bed the second he stopped smoking, and that he remained there throughout the night. Oppositely, several girls point out that they are certain Sommar left the cabin for a significant amount of time. Sommar panics after this is pointing out, claiming that she was simply going for a private meditation session “with nature”. Lindsey in particular finds this unusual, not certain how meditating outside could be logical when there’s a murderer on the loose. Sommar tries to pass the blame onto Nancy (who sleeps in her own cabin). However, Nancy claims that her cabin is visible from where Jesse was smoking, and that should she have left, he would almost certainly have seen her. A flustered Sommar takes time outside on her own, only to be joined by Phil who seeks to see if she’s okay. He confesses that he too has been under suspicion from others, but that his gut feeling tells him that Sommar is “one of the good ones”. Sommar appreciates this, jokingly admitting that she had initially been unsure about Phil but that she now sees their ‘lifestyles’ (jogging and meditating) are playing into the killers’ hands. Sommar then joins Phoebe and Heather in the kitchen of the dining cabin, pleading with the girls to believe her that she hasn’t murdered anyone. Phoebe stops washing up, hugging Sommar and confirming that she trusts her, whilst Heather seems more hesitant. The three women speak for some time, and ultimately advise Sommar to not mediate off on her own any more if she wants to avoid being made a scapegoat.
The remaining eleven counsellors are given their next riddle from the killers concerning Hollie’s death and own suspicions before her life was cut-short. The riddle causes a stir as counsellors run from clue to clue (if discovered) eventually being led to the sledgehammer laying on the floor of the garage. Quentin is the first to arrive, shortly followed by Spencer, with both men receiving an advantage in the upcoming immunity challenge as a result. Both men theorise as to why the sledgehammer is significant, causing Spencer to ponder whether it is a clue as to the killer being someone strong enough to wield it. He notes the lack of blood on the hammer, ruling out any discrepancy as to what crushed Hollie’s head. Quentin admits he believes that this means a man must have killed Hollie, with Bryson and Phil appearing as the physically strongest men in the group. For the next immunity challenge, counsellors are each given an axe and told they’ll be frantically cutting through log stumps, some of which have been filled with coloured dye. The first individually to find three different colours wins immunity, with each coloured log containing clues as to which others also contain dye. As an advantage, Quentin and Spencer have been pre-informed of a clue to find the first dyed log. It quickly becomes apparent that a large portion of the challenge involves luck despite the clues, somehow leading to the mismatched group of Heather, Jesse, Phoebe, Quentin and Spencer doing well. Heather miraculously wins her second straight immunity challenge, confirming that she will live another evening. Lindsey and Phil remain in last place, with Phil ultimately coming last once again for a second straight time. Following the challenge, Lindsey calls on Jesse and Quentin to attend a walk with her down to Lake Crosswood. She tells the boys that she has a feeling neither are responsible for the killings, and that she feels her own life may be at risk after performing badly. She voices her suspicions for Phil once again, saying that she has already made Nancy aware of this. Lindsey tearfully tells the boys that if she is to die, she needs them to ensure that Phil is the one who comes under question, believing that his survival means he is behind the killings. Quentin jokes as they walk back “if Phil dies tonight… we’re really going to look like assholes”.
At nightfall, the group once again head out to make their votes individually by the campfire for who they believe is guilty of the killings. Bryson, Jerry, Lindsey, Nancy, Phil and Sommar are revealed to receive votes during this process, potentially being the final nail in the coffin for one of them. Lindsey whispers to Jesse and Quentin that she’s going to “find proof” that Phil is behind the killings, putting on her coat and slipping out the cabin. Unbeknownst to Lindsey, Phil overhears this as he’s stood behind the door. Phil questions the boys on what Lindsey said, but both refuse to answer, leading Phil to follow Lindsey outside. Meanwhile, Jerry too slips out of the cabin, having got a craving for more ‘contraband’ hidden in Nancy’s cabin. Jerry tosses rocks at Nancy’s window, leading the Head Counsellor to nervously grab her shotgun and head out, yelling that she’ll “shoot anyone” she sees out of bed. Nancy begins to patrol the surrounding area, giving Jerry a few moments to slip inside and collect his things. Sommar hears the commotion outside coming from Nancy’s cabin, slipping her head out the window to get a better look. Not too long later, Lindsey notices the sound of footsteps around her, causing panic as she begins to run through the woods, trying to avoid the path of the individual chasing her in a zig-zag fashion. Sadly, Lindsey is suddenly struck with the underside of a shovel after becoming disorientated in the woods. Dazed and bloodied, she gives off a faint scream, crawling back in the direction she believes is the accommodation cabin. Suddenly, Lindsey’s legs are grabbed and she is violently dragged away by an unknown individual, before being kicked into a shallow grave. Lindsey pleads with the individual to let her go, but they mercilessly give her another strike from the shovel, rendering her barely conscious. The killer begins piling the freshly dug ground back on top of her, confining the beauty of the camp below the dirt to suffocate before she’s able to succumb to her injuries.
===Episode #4 - A Killer Reveal===
Sommar rushes around the accommodation cabin, telling the group that she heard somebody scream in the woods. Jesse and Quentin stumble out of bed, surveying the room when they realise several individuals are missing. The trio gather Heather, Phoebe and Spencer before heading out as a group, agreeing that safety in numbers is a wise strategy. They immediately come across Nancy and Jerry, with the latter begging the group not to tell Nancy he had been in her cabin, claiming it is so he doesn’t “face her fury”. Nancy holds her gun as the questions the group as to what is going on, wondering why both Lindsey and Phil are unaccounted for. Suddenly, Phil runs over to the group panting, claiming that he saw someone being chased in the woods, but was unable to identify who it was. Phil goes on to claim that he had rushed back to get help, but became lost amongst the trees. Nancy decides to lead a small search party out into the woods to find Lindsey, bringing Bryson and Quentin with her. Nancy orders the others to return to the accommodation cabin immediately and wait until they’ve returned. Minutes into their search, Bryson and Quentin locate two pendants hanging on tree branches, carefully taking them off without Nancy seeing them. The three them locate a mound of fresh dirt, noting a strange object poking out of the ground. After kicking around the dirt, Nancy realises that the strange object is the tip of a foot, causing both boys to frantically dig, discovering Lindsey’s beaten corpse laying beneath. Nancy storms back to the camp with both the men, shouting for Phil to come outside as she holds her gun up. Phil pleads with Nancy, telling her that she’s “got it all wrong”. Nancy demands he explain to her where he was, pointing out that he had a perfect opportunity to kill Lindsey. Phil declares that if he were the killer, he would do a better job at having an alibi rather than to confess that he was out of camp alone. Nancy lowers her gun, somewhat hearing what Phil has to say. Phoebe also rushes in front of Phil, telling Nancy that a “kangaroo court” style execution will not get answers, and that as a group they need to determine who is really the murderer.
Before being given a chance to deliberate, the group receive another note from the killers, informing them that they are able to vote once again for who they believe to be guilty, and that whoever receives the most votes will be ‘taken care of’. A short while later, the riddle challenge forces the group to locate certain areas Lindsey walked before being buried alive in her shallow grave. Quentin and Sommar are able to win, giving them advantages heading into an important immunity challenge. Bryson and Quentin individually read notes supplied to them with their new pendants, confirming that the ‘pendant of protection’ acts as a spontaneous immunity when played, and that they are valid to be used once each up to the final five. Quentin decides to share this information with Jerry and Spencer, who have formed a clear friendship over the past two days. Quentin lets both men know that he’d use the pendant for either of them if they need it, wanting to keep people safe he deems innocent. Alternatively, Bryson decides to keep the pendant and it’s powers to himself, instead spending time flirting with Heather, trying to pry information out of her before the next challenge. Nancy pulls Heather and Phoebe outside, admitting that she has more trust in the girls at this point, and that with Lindsey’s death she believes Phil to be responsible. Phoebe and Heather fail to disagree, believing that unless he is immune at the vote that it would be in the groups interest to “take him off the board”. As the girls finish talking, shouting is heard coming from inside the accommodation cabin. They return to find Spencer and Sommar mid-argument, accusing one another of being “shady” when deaths occur. Spencer points out that on both occasions Sommar has had unusual positionings when others have died, whilst Sommar claims that Spencer’s intelligence makes him a likely candidate to kill others. Nancy breaks up the fight, saying that any feuds can be handled at the next deliberation. An emotional Spencer is then comforted by Heather and Quentin, who want to keep as much peace going before more individuals start dying. Heather tells Spencer that he and Sommar should “make peace”, wanting to bring the attention firmly onto her main suspect; Phil.
The final ten take seats around a campfire where they begin answering questions on both murders that have occurred and their crime scenes, with Jesse and Jerry tying for first place. Both men are awarded with immunity as a result, meaning neither can be voted for during the accusatory deliberation. Every counsellor is then asked to write a name on a mini chalkboard before revealing to the group who they choose to accuse. Both Phil and Sommar cast their votes against Spencer, claiming that his intelligence and attitude fits that of a killer. Spencer casts his vote against Sommar, still believing her to be responsible after being missing during Hollie’s murder, and being the only person to supposedly ‘hear’ Lindsey’s murder. Bryson, Heather, Jerry, Jesse, Nancy, Phoebe and Quentin all deliver death blow votes to Phil, agreeing that over the past few days there have been too many coincidences that point towards him being the killer, also agreeing that his ability to lie his way out of bad alibis has been weak. It is declared that Phil has been formally accused of being the killer, and will no longer remain in Camp Crosswood. The group bind his hands, standing around and questioning as to whether or not he committed the murders. Phil bursts out laughing, maniacally admitting to murdering Troy, Hollie and Lindsey, going as far to say he has no regrets over being almost caught killing Lindsey, suggesting otherwise she was going to expose him. Phoebe appears visibly upset at the revelation, having defended Phil earlier the same evening he committed a murder. Nancy forces Phil at gun-point to the camp barn, having Bryson and Quentin tie him to a chair, saying they’ll be back to get information out of him in the morning. Bryson agrees to keep watch over Phil, standing outside the barn doors so the others can finally get some sleep. Hours later, a sleepy Bryson stands with Nancy’s shotgun outside the barn, trying to do his best to ensure that Phil doesn’t escape. However, the rustling of branches come as too late a warning, and an unseen individual clubs Bryson over the head, knocking him unconscious. The individual then enters the barn, receiving a warm greeting of Phil who demands they “get him out of this chair so we can finish the job”. Despite Phil’s pleas, the individual reveals themselves to be carrying a gasoline canister, nonchalantly dousing it over Phil as he wriggles and calls-out for help from those he had been trying to kill. The second killer pulls a lighter out of their pocket, flicking the top and tossing the lit flame onto Phil’s person, setting him and the barn alight. The unseen individual then leaves the barn, closing the doors behind them as Phil’s agonising screams muffle amongst the crackling of the flames.
===Episode #5 - Health Drinks Are Toxic===
The group in the accommodation cabin are woken by the sound of Bryson yelling, noticing a thick cloud of smoke has begun to make its way through Camp Crosswood. Bryson appears outside the cabin, holding a wound on his head in pain as he rambles about ‘burning’. The group soon realise that the entire barn is engulfed in flames, rushing over where they see the charcoaled remains of Phil deep within. Heather suddenly turns and questions Spencer, who she claims to have supposedly seen walking around the cabin after others had gone to sleep. Spencer immediately denies this, calling Heather out on trying to set him up as suspicious. Sommar then admits that she’s glad Phil is dead, knowing that he now cannot hurt anyone else. However, she is quickly reminded that with Phil dead, that there is nobody who can be directly questioned. Nancy orders everybody but Bryson to return to the cabin, stating that it is safer if they all stay in one place whilst the pair of them try to put out the flames. Once alone, Nancy demands Bryson explain everything to her, having entrusted him with watching over Phil. Bryson claims he was struck by somebody, and upon regaining consciousness the barn and Phil were already alight. Nancy chooses to believe Bryson’s story, feeling that if he were the killer he’d be more intelligent than to set himself up so blatantly. The pair then realise that Nancy’s shotgun has gone missing; taken after Bryson was knocked-out by the killer. Back at the cabin, Heather pulls Sommar to one side to talk over Bryson’s story. Sommar admits she doesn’t completely believe it, something that Heather agrees with, noting that they need to keep an eye on him over the next few hours.
The next morning, the exhausted group are given another riddle by the killer, searching the burnt remains of the barn for the next portion of the clue. Brainy Heather is able to complete the riddle first, with Jesse following close behind. Both are told that they’ll receive a pass in the first round of the next immunity challenge, as well as the right to pick who will have a smaller chance of winning. Together, Jesse and Heather give Bryson, Sommar and Spencer the disadvantage. The group is then set to compete in a log-rolling competition on Lake Crosswood, with the last person standing crowned the winner. The first matchup is the trio of Bryson, Sommar and Spencer, with Sommar outlasting both boys to move onto the next round. Quentin and Jerry face-off next, with Quentin coming out on top. Nancy surprisingly beats Phoebe in the next matchup, moving on with a shot to win. Bryson, Jerry, Phoebe and Spencer then compete in the ‘losers’ matchup, with Spencer winning and guaranteeing that he will not face risk for placing last. Heather, Jesse, Nancy, Quentin and Sommar compete in the ‘higher’ matchup, with Jesse, Quentin and Sommar moving onto the final round. Quentin is the first to fall, soon followed by Sommar, giving Jesse his second immunity win in a row. Jerry and Phoebe join together to congratulate Jesse on his win, glad that it went to somebody who isn’t under much suspicion. Jesse admits that he isn’t currently looking at either of them as potential culprits, instead keeping his concerns about Heather to himself.
At the cabins, the group sit around socialising, knowing that the likelihood is that another individual will be struck down by the unidentified second killer. Heather and Sommar continue talking about their fears towards Bryson, claiming that he could have self-inflicted his headwound as an alibi. Spencer joins the conversation, admitting that such a move is “plausible”. Things quickly turn sour after Heather once again grills Spencer as to why he was walking around the cabin (something Spencer still denies). The two argue, and Spencer declares that he no longer trusts Heather, instead feeling as though she is using divide and conquer tactics. Jerry pulls friend Spencer to one side, telling him not to allow Heather to get in his head. Jerry confirms Spencer’s suspicions that he too is weary of Heather, and that after Sommar she is the person he think is most likely to have been working alongside Phil. Bryson talks aloud in the cabin that they can all suspect him and doubt his story, but that he “isn’t going anywhere”, which ironically further adds suspicion that he may be the killer. Unknown to the group, Bryson plans to use his pendant of protection, sparing himself from being eligible to be killed this evening.
At nightfall, the group return one at a time to the campfire, casting votes for who they think could be the final killer. Bryson is shown playing his pendant of protection during this process, guaranteeing that he will live another night. Bryson, Heather, Jerry, Quentin and Sommar all receive votes during this process, pushing one of them over the edge to be murdered. Hours later, Sommar tries to meditate inside the cabin, finding the crowded atmosphere and noise off-putting. In a mini-breakdown, she stands up and demands that she be allowed some space, pointing out that she cannot ‘die’ if everybody else stays in the cabin, leaving with her yoga mat and personalised ‘green tea bottle’. Sometime later, Jerry is cursed at by his fellow counsellors, who claim his constant smoking indoors is stinking up the room. Nancy tells Jerry to go outside and remain around the cabin if he wishes to continue smoking, which he obliges to. Soon after, the sound of a gun being fired is heard in the distance, followed by an immediate power-cut across the camp, prompting everybody to huddle together and rush outside where they find Jerry ducked down behind a flowerpot. Jerry screams that somebody is shooting, quickly causing the group to realise that Sommar hasn’t returned from her meditation. Nancy decides that they cannot leave Sommar out alone, despite others worried that she is the killer luring them out with a gunshot. Nancy, Bryson and Phoebe go in the direction of the gunshot, with Heather, Jerry, Quentin and Spencer searching the grounds for Sommar. Jesse remains at the cabin alone, having been deemed safe after he won immunity. Nancy, Bryson and Phoebe eventually discover her shotgun, which has been placed in a homemade contraption set to automatically fire at the camp’s main generator. Bryson breaks the shotgun free, rushing back with Nancy and Phoebe after they deduce that the gunshot was a distraction for something else. Quentin and Spencer search a cabin together, calling out Sommar’s name after finding her yoga mat laying outside in the dark alongside her drinks bottle. The pair leave after getting no response, not noticing a comatose Sommar stuffed behind a loose panel in the cabins floorboards. The remaining eight counsellors meet back at the accommodation cabin where Nancy decides they should seal themselves inside, calling searching for Sommar “too dangerous to continue”. The next morning, the eight counsellors sit together on the open grass by Lake Crosswood, trying to discuss the best means of finding Sommar who has yet to show up alive or as a corpse. A flashback then reveals an unknown individual slipping a white powder into Sommar’s bottle and then dragging her unconscious self to the cabin where they stored her underneath previously loosened floorboards. Sometime later, the same individual returned, wrapping weighted items to her body before kicking her off the docks into the lake - just as a drowsy Sommar found herself regaining consciousness. The final shot of the episode is Sommar’s lifeless body bobbing at the bottom of Lake Crosswood, just mere metres away from where the rest of the group eats breakfast.
===Episode #6 - Sunken Treasure===
Whilst eating breakfast, Bryson leads a conversation between himself Nancy and Spencer concerning Phoebe, who he calls “suspiciously the quietest person still alive”, pointing out that in three days of being at the camp that she has managed to fly under the radar. Nancy continues speculating over Sommar’s whereabouts and who had an opportunity to ‘bump her off’. She openly questions Jesse, who was the only individual to remain in the cabin whilst everybody else went out searching. Jesse becomes frustrated by what he perceives to be an “insinuation”, arguing that Nancy was the one who split the group up in the first place. During the argument, Heather and Bryson meet together in the accommodation, where they begin flirting once again. Heather admits that given the situation she isn’t certain concentrating on anything but survival is wise. Despite this, Bryson holds her hand, telling her that whilst they’re still alive he cannot deny his emotions. The group later receive their next riddle from the killer, which leads them to discover the next advantage is located somewhere at the bottom of Lake Crosswood. Spencer is quick to work out the location is somewhere near the dock due to his high intelligence, quickly letting friend Jerry in on this secret too. The pair dive down together, finding a chest which they eventually manage to drag out from the lake. During the dive, both men notice Sommar’s sunken body at the bottom of the lady, leading to Jerry having a mild-panic after collapsing down on the shoreline. Spencer does his best to calm his best friend down, trying not to enter into a state of shock himself. Spencer promises Jerry that they’re getting out of the Camp, getting Jerry to repeat that promise back to him.
After losing the riddle, Nancy and Bryson notice the closeness between Spencer and Jerry. Nancy proposes that she and Bryson cement their friendship and trust by swearing to do all they can to protect one another, which Bryson eagerly agrees to. Wanting to expand her connections, Nany then pulls Jerry to one side to congratulate him on the win. Jerry confesses that he’d not have got his win without Spencer’s help, which Nancy notes down mentally. Nancy reminds Jerry that she still doesn’t believe he is the killer, and that she would respect if he worked alongside her to ensure both of their survival. Jerry confirms that surviving with his friends is his priority, and that he wants to keep Jesse, Quentin, Spencer and herself safe. The group later discuss the discovery of Sommar’s body at the bottom of the lake, confirming that despite heavy suspicion… she was not the killer. The next immunity challenge is centred around a chemistry-style puzzle, in which the group need to discover the chemicals used against Sommar prior to her murder based on a list and key given. Spencer and Jerry are given a one minute head start due to their riddle win, which proves useful for Jerry who admits his ‘habits’ have led to some proficiency in chemical equations. Jerry finishes first, giving himself immunity and cementing his survival for that day. Heather, Spencer, Phoebe and Quentin finish soon after, leaving Bryson, Jesse and Nancy as the worst performers of the day. Phoebe suddenly calls Quentin “full of surprises” after he performs well in the puzzle, having thought that academia wasn’t his strong point. He throws the criticism back at her, calling Phoebe out for being the individual that everybody knows the least about. Quentin goes on to rant that he can name specific details about everyone in camp other than her, going as far to call her “the obvious second killer”.
The group begin voting during sunset, wanting not waste no time in moving the process along and getting closer to exposing the second killer. Heather, Jesse, Nancy, Phoebe, Quentin and Spencer all receive votes during the deliberation… proving the group still remains vastly split over who they suspect. Day four passes seemingly bloodless, with everybody being alive to see the sunrise on Day five. Nancy pleasantly announces that the group has just two more days until help arrives, suggesting they may be able to make it out together if they continue their strategy of staying in the cabins at night. Phoebe and Heather go off to prepare breakfast for the group, whilst others intermittently go to take showers and freshen up. The celebratory factor of Nancy’s announcement leads Jerry to share around his marijuana with whoever else stays present by the lake, somewhat letting their guards down after a few days of harsh paranoia. Bryson heads off to take his morning shower, with his screams suddenly altering the group to the communal bathroom. After rushing over, a sheepishly white Bryson stands outside with his hand over his mouth, warning others not to look inside. Despite the warning, the group poke their heads in, seeing a bloodbath smeared all over the interior. At the centre of the shower lies a headless corpse, which the group soon recognise to belong to Jesse… only able to identify by the cross necklace laying next to it. Phoebe and Heather remain unaware of the horrors taking place at the other side of the camp, continuing to make breakfast whilst they sing Sam Fox’s ‘Touch Me’ together. Moments later, Heather opens the industrial fridge, screaming in horror as she discovered the severed head of Jesse positioned inside.
===Episode #7 - Falling For The Lies===
Heather’s screams send the group into panic, with everybody rushing towards the dining cabin after the discovery that Jesse has been murdered. Quentin begins freaking out in a semi-comedic manner, claiming that he can see things that are not truly in the room. Spencer calms Quentin down by throwing cold water in his face, eventually deducing that he (and others) have been spiked with PCP; a hallucinogenic drug with mind-altering effects. The group quickly realise that the PCP had been laced inside Jerry’s pre-rolled marijuana ‘spliffs’. Jerry begins to panic after trying to convince the group that he hadn’t laced the drugs with anything. Nancy ends up grabbing Jerry by the shirt, demanding to know why he coerced everyone into smoking if not to purposely drug them. Jerry throws Nancy off himself, saying that if anybody laced the weed it was the person “who kept it in her draw for over a day”. Everybody slowly comes around to agreeing that Jerry must be telling the truth, as nobody remembers him leaving the lakeside during the time that Jesse would have been murdered. Suspicion then quickly falls onto Bryson, who once again finds himself central to the discovery of a body. Bryson tries to point out that he wouldn’t have had time to murder Jesse, move his head and return to the washrooms in the time between him leaving the lakeside and altering everybody. However, Spencer mentions that the PCP in their systems could distort their perception of time.
The final seven survivors remain inside the dining cabin, having decided not to eat breakfast after the discovery of Jesse’s head amongst the food supplies. Heather and Phoebe are asked to confirm that neither left the cabin during their preparation of breakfast, but both are unable to say with absolute certainty that the other was there at all times. Friends Spencer and Jerry whisper to one another that they don’t fully believe Phoebe, having both noticed that she wouldn’t hold eye contact when swearing she remained in the kitchen “at all times”. Sensing that suspicion is coming her way, Phoebe pulls Jerry and Quentin to one side, reiterating that the evidence against Bryson is “staggering”, and that nobody else fits the bill of the killer more than him. Jerry hesitantly agrees with Phoebe (despite also suspecting her), feeling as though the PCP and discovery of the body both point towards him being able to carry it out. Things become more complex after the group try to remember the order in which they used the bathroom one by one, not able to prove who went before or after Jesse, despite both Jerry and Spencer claiming they used the male showers before he did. Quentin is nominated to clear Jesse’s head out of the fridge and ‘bag it up’ which he does sloppily, dropping the head several times, eventually noticing a note has been stuffed into the mouth. Quentin removes the note, reading it aloud to the group; its contents being yet another riddle courtesy of the killer. The riddle leads successful solvers Quentin and Jerry back to the washroom, where a loose tile in the wall reveals a bloodied Gigli saw, certainly the weapon used to dispose of Jesse in a fast manner. This casts further doubt on who could have killed Jesse, with the murder itself clearly being premeditated rather than a spontaneous act on the killers part.
Everybody returns to the dining cabin, where a quiz on the murders of Jesse and Sommar wait for them. Quentin and Jerry both begin with scores on the board as per their riddle win, giving them an advantage to claim immunity before the accusatory deliberation. After fifteen questions, Spencer claims victory over Quentin and Nancy who place second and third respectively. Spencer is relieved to be guaranteed immunity, saying that to be wrongfully accused at this last opportunity would be game-ending for the group. Quentin also announces that he holds a pendant of protection, explaining its use to the group, opting to play it for himself. As a result, neither Spencer nor Quentin can be voted for in the accusatory deliberation. Everybody writes names down on their chalkboards, revealing one by one who they wish to accuse of being the second killer. Bryson solely votes for Jerry, believing the PCP to have been his actions as well as the chemistry prowess used to drug and murder Sommar. Heather, Jerry and Phoebe vote for Bryson, believing there to be too many coincidences that place him in a clear position to kill others. Nancy, Quentin and Spencer vote for Phoebe, having found her demeanour and secrecy to be too much of a red flag to trust. The tie results in the group having a further moment to deliberate between deciding on Bryson or Phoebe, with both pleading their case as to why they are not the killer. Jerry is instrumental in getting Quentin and Spencer to join his side of the vote, with Bryson’s vote against Jerry (Quentin and Spencer’s friend) also proving enough to get them to switch sides. As a result, Bryson is formally accused of being the second killer. Bryson warns everybody that they’re making a mistake, begging them not to restrain him like they did Phil. Quentin and Jerry go to tie Bryson up, but he quickly pounces, throwing both men to the side before charging for the door. Nancy raises her shotgun, but is unable to fire on her former friend as he escapes to the woods. Phoebe scolds Nancy for not firing, pointing out that “the killer is now loose”. Bryson is shown to be running alone from the camp, deciding that waiting amongst those that suspect him isn’t worth it, and instead he will take the perilous journey through the woods to find the nearest town. However, whilst running through the woods, Bryson falls through a tipping-platform that has been camouflaged above hollowed ground. Bryson yells as he falls, but his yells are suddenly silenced and replaced with panicked gurgles and groans. It is revealed that the ground had been laced with punji sticks, that have impaled Bryson several times as he fell face first into the trap. Bryson’s gurgling goes silent as his body falls limp, with the sound of the others calling out his name in the distance.
===Episode #8 - Poor Me, Poor Me, Pour Me a Drink===
After Bryson’s escape, Jerry, Nancy, Phoebe and Spencer head outside in search of him, carrying torches to aid them in the dark. Spencer and Nancy talk during the search, agreeing that they’ll cover more ground if they split up, with a plan to run back to the dining cabin if any of them spot Bryson. The four searches split up, but with an understanding that none of them will venture too far. Back at the dining cabin, Quentin and Heather wait for their return, knowing not to unlock the door if Bryson returns to the camp. Heather begins talking to Quentin about trust, feeling as though it is clear neither of them are the killers. She tells him that she suspects Bryson or Spencer, and that it would be wise to keep the others locked out to ensure their own survival. However, Quentin refuses to join in on this, letting the others back in despite Heather’s attempts at selfish tactics. Quentin later stands with Spencer in the kitchen, with the latter starting to feel exhausted by the ‘game’, wanting the last twenty-four hours to hurry up so they can escape Camp Crosswood. Phoebe later joins Spencer to help cheer him up, suggesting that if they’re all still around until daylight that she could make them some food or “have a drink”. Spencer seems hesitant, but then notices several bottles of wine remain if the group wanted.
The next morning, all six survivors remain unharmed as the sun rises over camp. With no sign of Bryson, everybody suspects that he is the killer and lurking outside, unaware that he has been dead for almost ten hours after falling into one of the killer’s traps. A tearful Heather confesses to Nancy that she had almost played selfishly the previous evening, admitting that her fear took over and she’s glad that Quentin talked her down. Despite this somewhat upsetting Nancy, she hugs Heather, telling her that she’s never suspected her and will continue to hold the same impression moving into this final day. Quentin joins the two women, with Nancy thanking Quentin for stopping Heather from doing something she would regret. Quentin claims that they’re all on edge, and the worst thing to do would be split up as it “plays into Bryson’s hands”. Some time later, the group receive another letter from the killer which reads: ‘Poor preppy Bryson found a dead end, not a soul stood by him… not a single friend. I am still by your side, watching your every move. Still my game to win, and your game to lose.’ The faces around the table slowly drop as they come to terms with the fact that they condemned an innocent man to death, and that one of the six of them is still the killer. The letter also contains the details for the next riddle, which lead the successors to the ditch in which Bryson’s body resides. Nancy and Phoebe are the first to the corpse, gaining an advantage into the next immunity challenge.
The immunity challenge tests the group on a balancing high-rope course, with Nancy and Phoebe getting a head start due to their advantage. The advantage proves key to winning, which Nancy manages to do narrowly over Phoebe. Spencer and Heather finish in third and fourth place respectively, whilst Quentin and a last-place Jerry finish at the back of the pack. As the morning turns to afternoon, the group return to the dining cabin where they individually vote for who they believe could be the killer. During the vote, it is revealed that Heather, Phoebe, Quentin and Spencer receive votes from the others, with Jerry being the only non-immune individual to not receive a single vote. Phoebe opts to go ahead with the plan to cook and prepare glasses of wine for everyone, mocking the idea that the killer cannot touch them if they all “wait out” the last day before help arrives. The group eat and drink the meal, appearing unusually relaxed despite the information that one of them wishes to murder the other five. Spencer then finds another note left by the killer, this time written in fresh ink. The note reads: ‘Now that she is dead, I advise you to run. Run… run… run…’ with the word ‘run’ obsessively written over and over again, getting larger each time. Nancy looks around at the others, asking “who is ‘she’?!” with a concerned tone. Before anyone can reply, Phoebe suddenly and violently expels blood from her mouth, covering the table and food in front of her. Everybody screams in a panic, with Phoebe continuing to spit up bulks of blood as she convulses on the floor. Nancy realises that somebody has poisoned Phoebe’s wine, as everybody ate from the same pot of soup (and appear fine). Heading the killers final advice, the remaining five survivors scamper from the dining cabin, knowing that this may be their final opportunity to escape Camp Crosswood once and for all.
===Episode #9 - Escape From Camp Crosswood===
Disclaimer: The final five rank one another 1-4 based on who they trust the most (1) to who they most suspect to be the killer (4). The results of these rankings are tallied up to give the group positions 1-5 on who will get a head start in escaping. The goal is to remain ahead of the killer, meaning that if unsuspected, the killer could have a major advantage over the survivors. The group will undergo identical escape-themed challenges when trying to survive the final part of the game, which will impact their placements on the ‘escape board’. If the individual in last place after each person is innocent, then they are murdered by the killer. If the individual in last place is the killer, then all those ahead have been deemed to survive and will take home a share of the money. In the event of a tie at any point, whoever the killer ranks lower will be murdered. Additionally, an individual winner is possible amongst a group of survivors, depending on who was able to escape first. The following is a scripted dramatization of the final results…
Nancy leads the final five outside, leaving Phoebe’s recently deceased body behind. Heather suggests that the group try to use the small motorboat to escape, using it to get up river far enough so that they can walk safely to town. Nancy points out that the boat has not been prepped, and that they’d need to collect gasoline from the generator and ensure the boat isn’t damaged. Knowing it’s their only chance, the group split-up to get the boat ready, with both women going together to the generator, and the three men going to check on the boat. Upon reaching the boat, the men realise that they’ll need a new propellor and several tools to attach it. Quentin agrees to stay behind and get started, whilst Jerry and Spencer separate to find the final items. At the generator, Heather siphons gas from the generator into a cannister whilst Nancy fixes a voltage box outside, momentarily placing her shotgun to one side as she does so. Heather calls-out to Nancy that she has filled the cannister, but gets no reply. As she goes to check on her friend, an unseen figure grabs her from behind and covers her mouth with their hand to prevent any screams. After a brief struggle, the killer violently twists and snaps Heather’s neck, killing her instantly. Her lifeless body is thrown to one side, before they head outside. Nancy finishes fixing the voltage box, before heading inside to check on Heather. After discovering her friends corpse, a panicked Nancy rushes to grab the gas cannister, knowing there is no time to mourn for those already dead. Nancy heads outside, preparing to grab her shotgun and head back to the boys. However, she realizes that her gun has been taken, hearing the sound of it cocking behind her. Nancy turns and faces the killer, who has the shotgun held up and pointed towards her. She utters a final “screw you” before the killer fires, with the force of the bullets blowing Nancy’s skull apart.
After collecting the propellor, Jerry runs in the direction of the gunshot after becoming concerned for both Nancy and his main suspect Heather. He finds both the women’s corpses, knowing that the killer got to them before they were able to make it back. He begins to panic, grabbing the gasoline and heading back towards the boat shed. At the same time, Spencer arrives back at the boat shed with the tool-kit, finding that Quentin has gone missing. Rather than to stay and prepare the boat, Spencer foolishly goes looking for his friend, concerned that he may have ditched the group and tried to run like Bryson. This causes Jerry to arrive alone, finding all the tools ready to begin repairing the boat. He calls out to both Spencer and Quentin, but finds no reply. Instead of waiting, Jerry gets to work fixing the boat, knowing that to wait behind could cost him his own life. Several minutes later, Jerry has sloppily put together the motorboat, climbing on board as he notices both Quentin and Spencer running back towards him from the residential cabins. Both men call out to Jerry, accusing the other of attacking them, brandishing their own wounds as ‘proof’ of the attack. Quentin holds his side, having been stabbed, whilst Spencer holds his arm that has been slashed repeatedly. Failing to decipher who is telling the truth, Jerry sets off on the boat, not able to pick between his friends. Quentin yells out for Jerry, tearing up as he sees the boat slowly pull out of the shed. Spencer also appears disappointed, turning to Quentin and saying “That’s a shame… you’ll just have to do”… before pulling a knife from his sleeve.
Flashbacks reveal that Spencer’s penmanship as a result of his intelligence had been hinted from the start, particularly through the methods in which the killer opted to speak to the group. The words ‘run’ and ‘read’ both appeared underlined in the first letter, hinting towards athletic runner Phil and bookworm Spencer as being the killers. The killer also displayed a high-level of intellect once Phil was out of the picture, shown through various traps, poisons and methods of distraction. Spencer himself had been caught out by Heather during Phil’s murder, but was able to deflect and use his friendship with Quentin and Jerry to survive, who as a result were able to survive due to unknowingly being in allegiance with the final killer.
Spencer tackles Quentin to the grass, revealing himself as the final killer, doing his upmost to slaughter his friend. Spencer rants as he fights, telling Quentin that if he had stayed at the boat house, that “things would’ve gone a lot smoother” (for Spencer). During the fight, neither men notice the sound of the motorboat stopping, having assumed that this could be a result of Jerry escaping Camp Crosswood. Spencer equally fails to hear the sound of footsteps running up behind him, only aware of the impaling pain of a hammer being lodger into the side of his head. Spencer flies off from on top of Quentin, rolling down the grass towards the lakeside before gently finding his feet. The murderous bookworm stands and looks at his former-friends who he failed to kill, giving half a smile as he stumbles backwards, succumbing to the claw of the hammer that has broken through the side of his skull, forcing one of his eyes virtually from its socket. Spencer’s body collapses into the water, gently floating away as Jerry helps his injured friend onto the motorboat, which he brought back after spotting Spencer’s final attempts to murder him. Both men ride off down the river, knowing that they have survived the horrors at Camp Crosswood. However, neither are able to come to terms as to why Spencer became a killer… with Jerry exclaiming “some people just snap”. The final shot appears over Camp Crosswood, slowly zooming into a wet patch of grass in which a bloodied hammer is laying on the ground.
