Did Tai Do That?
Its summer and food is now plentiful.
They have improved their collective tracking skills, and they are more familiar with the layout of the woods.
This mystery person is likely also the person who killed Lottie, right?
Misty, Walter, and Shauna are all on the case.
In a nonsensical twist, Shauna and Walter have teamed up.
When Shauna catches Walter tailing her, she stops short, causing him to rear-end her.
Theyre there when Misty shows up to do the same thing.
Now, Lotties dad is flirting with dementia and seems to be going in and out of lucidity.
Theres a sweet beat where Shauna sits in Lotties room, and Mr. Matthews mistakes her for Lottie.
Meanwhile, Van and Tai have abandoned both of their jobs and are sort of just flitting through life.
Whats been going on in the wilderness over the past five episodes?
Well, not much.
Its been interesting but not necessarily riveting.
This week, the focus is on how the group is going to execute Ben.
An increasingly awful Shauna wants to burn him alive, but the rest of the group rejects that idea.
but this season is testing me.)
Theres one sympathetic character.
And his name is Ben.
The cat-and-mouse game with Ben has been going on for an excruciatingly long time.
Would I love for Ben to be alive in the present timeline?
Yes, very much so.
No, I absolutely do not.
It sounds cool, at least.)
Misty goes to bring Ben dinner, and theres a sweet moment where she says goodbye.
She apologizes for not winning the trial, laments the loss of her first boyfriend, then hugs him.
Then, the firing squad arrives.
Akilah, Travis, and Lottie are back from the caves!
They tackle Tai and Ben, stopping the execution because of Akilahs vision.
The group puts Ben back in the animal pen, and he believes that hes safe.
That is until sadistic Shauna and her sidekick Melissa arrive.
Ben screams and futilely kicks with his one leg as the two teens approach him.
So she does, hobbling his one good leg by slicing into his Achilles tendon.
After pulling theirAnnie Wilkesstunt, they celebrate like megalomaniacs as their captive screams into the night.
They didnt kill Ben, but Im betting hes going to wish he were dead very soon.
I think of that sequence often.
Misty does really look great in Natalies leather jacket.
Shes never subtle, but she always seems to get what she wants.
Christina Ricci is still having a blast playing Misty, and her diabolical energy is infectious.
I dont know what to think about the title of this episode, Did Tai Do That?
Tai didnt kill Ben.
Is that what its referring to?
Did Tai kill Lottie?
I guess its possible.
Is this supposed to be a reference to how the wilderness told Travis that Akilah was the new prognosticator?
