The Summer of Broken Rules

Meredith is finally able to sleep in her room in the Annex by sleeping in Claire’s bed; it is her best night’s sleep since the beginning of the week. Later, she goes over to the cabin and meets Wit before the Assassin Showdown. There are seven finalists in the showdown: Luli, Pravika’s older sister, Uncle Brad, Nicole Dupré, Aunt Julia, a nameless groomsman, and Wit. Julia intentionally gets eliminated right away, and Wit hides in a tree within the boundaries and starts eliminating targets from the safety of his hiding spot. The showdown comes down to Brad and Wit; Wit leads Brad on a chase around the arena to wear him out, finally cornering himself in front of Meredith. As Brad goes in for the kill, Meredith hands Wit a water gun from under her chair, but within the boundary of the game, allowing Wit to eliminate Brad and win Assassin this year. The sun shines down on the arena, and Meredith assures him that Claire is proud of that win, even though it wasn’t hers.
