Chapter 13 Summary: “Final Exam”

While hiding out in one of the empty houses at Terra Nova, Jade discovers that her phone has no signal even though it has charged. She sees Theo Mondragon dispose of another construction worker’s body. Later, she is found by Letha walking around the houses with a candle. Letha takes Jade aboard the yacht and gives her food and a place to sleep. She explains that one of the Founders installed a jammer so that the construction workers wouldn’t be distracted by their phones when working, but they have signal out on the yacht. She also mentions that her dad was angry with Mr. Holmes for flying his plane around the development because her stepmother, Tiara, enjoys sunbathing while topless on the roof of the yacht. Letha falls asleep as they watch a slasher movie together, and Jade shaves her head in the bathroom. She tries to call Sheriff Hardy, but Meg answers the phone and does not believe that Jade is telling the truth about seeing Theo kill the construction workers, assuming that this is part of a slasher-film fantasy.

Later that night, Jade and Letha wake up to discover that all the adults on the yacht have been violently murdered.
