As the two argue, Hope confesses she had plans to leave for Omaha without telling Iris, creating a rift. Hope feels like Iris looks at her differently ever since she told the half-truth about how their mom actually died, but Huck never judges her. ![]() This strikes a bigger rift between the sisters. Apparently, Iris has been thinking this for a while, though that hasn't been made clear in any of the storytelling, so we're just going to accept that for her character and move on. Later, when Huck and Felix make it official - he's staying behind while the girls continue on with Huck and they'll circle back for him eventually - Iris suggests to Hope that maybe Huck isn't who they think she is. Given all that Hope was able to confide in Huck over the past few weeks with no judgment, she's quick to speak up for her. Hope and Iris argue off to the side given how quick Huck was to suggest Felix not continue on with the girls. They help him back to the house and Huck mentions Felix can't move for a while until his ankle is healed, which was her plan since crashing the car. That's when Felix can no longer hide his injury. The next day, they are out walking and attempting to hop a barricade in the road. Huck also plants another seed of discord by mentioning the reason Hope wanted to learn how to fight was so she could leave for Omaha, which clearly Iris didn't know about. The big takeaway from this moment is that there's a room Huck promises is filled with dead bodies from the house's owners and to not go in there. Huck takes Iris aside to chat about how she is different from Hope, suggesting that maybe Iris is the asset after all - which we'll get into later. Gratuitous bedroom make-outs are appreciated. Meanwhile, it's festering and he's grappling with memories of his fights with Will and Leo, about how Will volunteered to go with Leo to the CR so Felix might learn to let others handle things once in a while. He doesn't tell the others the true extent of his injuries. ![]() ![]() They manage to fight through but Huck, without anyone noticing, cuts the back of Felix's ankle, which he thinks is just from getting snared on the wire. They are tangled in barbed wire, making it difficult to escape. The area is shrouded in mist as they walk along the road and empties begin to surround them on all sides. On the road in the night, while Hope, Iris, and Felix doze off, Huck crashes the car so that they have to take a rest and seek shelter, which happens to be an abandoned house she already scouted earlier on.
