‐ The very first time Isaac Salcedo

was stung by a wasp, he was 10.

It hurt at first, but only a little.

What he didn't know is that the more you're stung,

the more severe your reaction will be.

[mud sloshing]

[wasps buzzing]

One is a nuisance.

Five require medical attention.

Ten could send the body into shock.

Isaac's tongue bloated,

filling his mouth till he couldn't breathe.

His body spasmed, his eyes swelled,

his pulse pounded in his head,

but even that couldn't drown out the incessant buzzing.

[wasps buzzing]

It would be the last thing Isaac ever heard.

Light as a feather... ALL: Stiff as a board.

Light as feather,

stiff as a board.

Light as feather, stiff as a board.

ALEX: Who is that?

‐ Who did you kill?

‐ No one. It was an accident.

‐ Oh, that's a good one.

‐ You need to tell us everything, Violet. Now.

‐ After my boyfriend Marc died, I had a breakdown,

and my parents sent me to Daybridge for some help.

‐ You mean the place you sent Candace to die?

‐ That's where I first got the chrysalis.

I knew the rules.

I knew I had to lead a new game if I wanted to survive,

so I ended up playing with some of the kids there.

I had no choice.

‐ You always have a choice. ‐ And you made the same one.

At least I didn't blame it on some blackout.

After I was discharged,

I kept tabs on all the kids that played the game.

It was down between me and another guy,

and I thought I was in the clear until you showed up here.

I asked him to leave, but he forced his way in,

and as I was fighting him off,

he touched it.

‐ The chrysalis?

‐ He was convulsing, and then he stopped moving.

I thought that he was dead,

so I freaked out and‐‐ and I hid his body.

And then I started wondering

what if he wasn't actually dead?

But by then, I was too afraid to check.

And then after a few weeks, it was gone.

He had finally died.

‐ And what was his prediction?

‐ Starvation.

[ominous music]

‐ I'm gonna be sick.
