An interview with Freddie Hunter goes over the “ghoulish” response of online spectators in the days following the tragedy. People joked and speculated about the deaths as if it were a game.

Jess

Jess does her job, her mind occasionally wandering to Jackson dying in his room. “Even now,” she could change her mind and call an ambulance, but she doesn’t. She’s kept busy with the often inane or excessive requests of Island Home’s guests. While she thinks that she should regret her actions, she doesn’t. Jackson and Georgia once did the same thing to her.

Annie

Annie mingles with the guests and considers how her life and social circle will change once she’s no longer a powerful part of Home Group. Spying Keith talking to a group of young women, she asks an employee to keep an eye on him and let her know if he takes anyone back to his room.

She remembers Keith’s journey to success, connected to Ned Groom and Home from the beginning. She doesn’t know the amount that Ned demanded from Keith but assumes that it’s perfectly calculated to be just feasible. While Ned’s blackmail may have been about funding Home in the beginning, now it’s as much a matter of controlling and toying with people.
