This Is Why We Lied

At cocktail hour, Sara and Will relax with Drew and Keisha. They tried to find Camp Awinita that afternoon but had no success. They found an old campfire circle but no cabins nearby.

While Will chats, Sara eavesdrops on Gordon and Landry. Nearby, Frank props Monica up, and Sara feels for them both. She doesn’t know anything about Sydney and Max, the couple talking to Cecil and Bitty. Chuck stands with Christopher, drinking from an enormous water bottle. Sara understands Mercy’s reaction to Chuck: He makes her uneasy, too. Cecil calls everyone to the dinner table.

Just as they begin to eat, Jon bursts into the dining room. He’s drunk and confronts Mercy about selling the lodge, violently shaking her. She drops a glass, and it shatters. Will tries to de-escalate the situation, but Jon turns on him, calling him “Trashcan.” Will and Sara are stunned that he knows the nickname. Jon says he wishes Mercy was dead and storms out.

Cecil and Bitty immediately blame Mercy. Christopher continues eating. Mercy cuts her thumb picking up broken glass, and Sara takes her to the kitchen to bandage it. Sara admits that she’s actually a doctor, a medical examiner, and not a chemistry teacher.
