The Island

Paisley wakes up early, excited to explore the park, and spends some time working on her next vlog and podcast before breakfast. She continues to think about the previous night and is torn between thinking it was her imagination and thinking it was Will playing a prank on her. At breakfast, she chats with the others and makes plans to explore with Harper and Liam. Ava and James have already paired off and are flirting, though Paisley knows that Ava has a boyfriend. Though they debate waiting for Will, Malcolm tells them that he is probably sleeping and that they have the whole day to explore. Paisley excuses herself and says she is going to wake him up.

Liam interrupts her at the elevator, and she confesses about sneaking out. They knock on Will’s door, and no one answers, and Liam reassures her that Will is probably asleep. He briefly tells Paisley about his family, mentioning that he was raised by his mom and has a selfish uncle and grandparents. Though this is not revealed yet, Liam has murdered Will in the night as part of a plot to ruin his uncle. He teases Paisley by racing her back to the elevator, and they head to the park.

At the main gate of the park, Reeve and Harper are waiting for Paisley and Liam. Reeve offers to show them the staff entrance to the park, and Harper and Paisley readily agree, though Liam seems less interested. Reeve shows them a beach area for staff only and offers to bring Paisley back later to swim. She blushes and agrees, liking the attention but surprised that he is flirting with her. They agree to come after lunch as a group and go back to the amusement part. En route, Liam and Paisley discuss Malcolm. Liam argues that Malcolm has more than he needs and doesn’t help others, though he could solve world problems with his money. Paisley agrees but privately thinks that Liam drives a Range Rover and doesn’t seem to be hurting for money himself.

After riding coasters, Paisley wants to take a break and insists on checking in on Will again. Liam accompanies her, and there is no answer when they bang on his hotel door. They call Camilla, who lets them in to check the room. There is no one inside.

Inside the room, Paisley uses her deductive skills and points out that Will’s bed is neatly made, and all his things are still in his suitcase, as if he never slept there. Even more suspicious is the fact that his phone is still charging on his nightstand. Liam quietly asks Paisley if she thinks Will snuck out after her and somehow drowned.

The group meets up with the others, including Malcolm and the staff. They split up to look for Will in groups. Reeve takes Paisley and his group to start looking at the jetty, where they discover, to their horror, that the boat is gone. Reeve assumes Will took it for a joyride, but Paisley argues that he wouldn’t have left his phone behind.

Malcolm sends Reeve to check the CCTV footage of the island and allows Paisley to come along. She hopes that she can quietly tell Reeve about Will’s plan with her to sneak out and that he won’t tell Malcolm and get her kicked off the island. In the CCTV room, Reeve tells Paisley that he went to bed last night around 2 am. Paisley is nervous, realizing that he was awake when she was sneaking around the hotel.

Paisley starts to wonder if Reeve was the one sneaking around and scaring her the night before. She is relieved when he suggests beginning the search of the film at 6 am and hopes that she won’t have to confess to sneaking out. However, as they start to search, Reeve realizes that all the film has been deleted. Initially, he asks Paisley if she or the others are to blame, but she points out that he is the only one with access to the room. He becomes upset and worries that Malcolm will blame him.

Upstairs, the room begins to descend into panic, especially when they learn that the CCTV has been erased. To add to everyone’s stress, Gibson notices that cell service and Wi-Fi are both down, effectively cutting them off from the island. Camilla starts to panic, but Malcolm whispers to her and seems to calm her down. Malcolm divides the group again, asking some people to search the island while he tries to get into contact with the mainland.

Reeve and Paisley go back to the jetty, and Reeve explains that he wants to see if the boat sank or was taken, which will solve at least one mystery. They discover that the rope at the dock is not ripped or cut but taken off, which implies that someone did it to steal the boat. When they report this to Malcolm, he is relieved and claims that some “random dumb kids” stole a boat. Paisley is not so sure and worries that the culprit might still be on the island with them.

Paisley accompanies Reeve to the service room, which is in a dark basement. She remarks on how creepy it is, and he teases her for being scared since she is supposed to be an expert on true crime. They wonder if someone has used a cell phone jammer to block calls from the island, and why someone would play this kind of prank on them. Inside the service room, they discover that all the wires to the internet have been cut, indicating that someone has deliberately vandalized it.

Upstairs, Camilla tells them that she can’t find Kenna, the cook. They try to radio Malcolm but get no response. Reeve orders Ava and Camilla to find Malcolm and the others to sweep the park while he and Gibson try to fix the internet. James is annoyed and does not seem to grasp the gravity of the situation, but Paisley and the others are worried.
