Kush/Transcript

Helen Magnus and Will Zimmerman are stranded after their plane goes down in the Himalayas. While waiting for a rescue team, the survivors begin to fall victim to vicious attacks.
Note: To help understand the transcript, it requires spoiling the episode. This episode features a migoi, a creature who has telepathic abilities. During the entire time unless marked specifically as "Real Reality", the setting on the plane occurs under the migoi's influence, a "false reality" as the migoi is actually Allison the entire time until the end. Allison Grant was the migoi's first victim, killing her and taking over her identify before the rest of the passengers regained consciousness after the crash. Even though characters dying was real as well as Helen Magnus interacting with Ashley Magnus, visually on the plane things are overall an illusion surrounding Allison's presence. So, when a character would hallucinate or dream and then wake up from it, they were actually still in a false reality that they perceived as being real.
