Milo is still at large, and Volkov still won’t deliver a message to Melissa, even as Melissa begins investigating on her own. But the most immediate concern is Ethan. He never leaves his room and has no desire to eat. He is becoming thin in an unhealthy way. Jason worries that, if things don’t change soon, he might have suicidal thoughts. He forces Ethan to go outside with him, trying to snap him out of his funk. Once outside, Wiki joins them. He tries to connect with Ethan by talking about the video game Call of Duty and then showing him a fossil of a cephalopod from the area. Ethan shows no interest and follows Moonie instead. Wiki then tries to make small talk with Jason, asking about growing up in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and his time working as a court reporter in Cuba, transcribing testimony about the abuses of detainees at Guantanamo Bay.

Back inside, Jason raises concerns to Lucinda about Ethan’s eating habits. He proposes a three-meal-a-day routine. At first, Lucinda defends Ethan and resents the idea that they might enforce a structure, but then she realizes that Jason is right. Ethan is too thin and might have developed an eating disorder from guilt over his sister’s death.
