Chapters 43-49 Summary

The men leave Will blindfolded in a cave during the impromptu game of Survivor. After the ushers leave, Johnno stays behind and confronts the groom about the show. Johnno admits that his whisky company is fake and that he is deeply hurt and furious that Will cares so little for him that Will could so easily cut Johnno out of the television deal. The conversation turns from the betrayal of the television show to the main point of horror that has been haunting Johnno. Johnno remembers the young boy who died during a game of Survival all those years ago.

Back at the tent, Charlie gets into a fight with another partygoer. Hannah breaks up the fight and confronts him about what happened during the bachelor’s party. Charlie drunkenly recounts to her what happened that weekend. The men apparently left Charlie alone on an island after he’d had magic mushrooms. He was left there, naked, for a long time before they eventually came back to find him terrified and sobbing. Charlie is convinced that Will orchestrated the entire thing. Hannah then also discovers that Charlie did indeed once have sex with Jules.
