Our time in Bayview is almost over but there needs to be just a little more drama before we leave.

Phoebe and Emma finally confront Owen about his role in the Truth or Dare game, setting off a chain of events that sends Phoebe on a solo mission where she comes face to face with some familiar wallpaper.

Meanwhile, as Nate cleans out his closet, Bronwyn debates whether to turn crucial evidence over to the Bayview police. One of those things will prove useful

Later that night, a simple request for a ride spirals into a terrifying night for Addy. And with the end drawing closer, its time for something terrible to happen to Nate...again.

Let’s make one thing clear, this is officially a Kris Fan Account™, and these chapters absolutely prove why. Karen M. McManus really delivered in chapters 26–30. We’re talking angst, mystery, surprise stalkers, giant hats, and another kidnapping. Just Bayview things.

The crew attempts a calm, drama-free beach day, but Detective Maeve is booked and busy as always. A high-speed chase results in a very angry Cooper and Addy gets hit with some shocking news that sends her back into a tailspin.

Nate. Deserves. Nice things. And he finally gets them! Even more shocking... he finds an unlikely ally in Vanessa. Do we like her? Still no. But she's working on herself and we can appreciate that. Character development is powerful.

Phoebe does some self reflection and tries to make ammends, just before Emma stumbles onto a chilling discovery.

And of course: Kris, the backbone of this entire operation, the moment, the icon, and an absolute king. Once again, he swoops in to push the story forward like the legend he is. We adore him.

Nate and Bronwyn recruit Patrick for their latest shenanigans, and shocker: it immediately leads to a gruesome discovery. Silver lining. it comes with another clue about the new game!

Addy and Keely have the “what are we?” talk, and Addy’s mom makes a last-ditch attempt at being supportive. Vanessa tries soft-launching her redemption arc at what should’ve been a party but somehow doubles as a Murder Club meeting. Classic Bayview.

Over at the Lawson house, someone finally recommends therapy only for the idea to be yeeted directly into the trash. Emma realizes how far gone Owen is and Phoebe gets to briefly bask in her rightness before heading off to meet Lucinda (queen of our hearts) for the inside scoop on Jake’s mom.

Does all of this look extremely suspicious from the outside? Absolutely. Are any of us being questioned? Absolutely not. The BPD cannot be bothered.

We close with Jake’s dad using his own child as emotional ammunition against Katherine, and honestly… the ick is off the charts.

Karen, you're literally the best!
