A new group text pops up on the screen. It only includes the other four tribe members, not Liisa.

Salvador: WTF happened between Liisa and Dr. Danvers??

Baljit: Professional jealousy?

Reese: There’s got to be more to it.

Simon: I called Liisa earlier. She didn’t mention anything about quitting the tribe or blaming Dr. D.

Baljit: Jesus, Simon! Every time you speak to someone in private…

Simon: What?

Baljit: Elaine, JJ, and now Liisa… Do me a favor and don’t ever speak to me outside of a session, OK?

I am toxic, Simon thinks, realizing his mother would have loved Baljit.

Salvador: Ease up there, Maleficent!!

Baljit: What? He’s a big boy. And Liisa will be fine. You’re probably right. She must’ve had a few drinks.

Reese: Liisa doesn’t drink. Try to keep up.

Baljit: I forgot we had an expert online.

Salvador: JESUS!!

Reese: Did Liisa say what had upset her, Simon?

Simon: No. But she asked me about the day JJ died.

Reese: What about it?

Simon: Whether JJ had mentioned anyone else in the tribe aside from Elaine.

Salvador: WHY? Weird!

Baljit: Did she, Simon?

Simon: No.

Reese: Hold on. Let me see if I can reach Liisa on the phone.

The conversation pauses again while everyone waits.

Reese: Straight to voicemail.

Salvador: Liisa is right! The tribe is DONE!

Baljit: Easy there, Lindsay Lohan. Enough catastrophizing. Why don’t we see where we’re at in the morning?

Reese: Does anyone know where Liisa lives?

Salvador: Newport. A few blocks from JJ’s place.

Baljit: And you know this how?

Salvador: Because I once drove her home when her car was in for service. And unlike you, Ballsack, I care.
