The story so far
Everything you need before watchingAfter discovering Hattie in the supermarket, the group has to decide whether staying put is safer than crossing the mist. David proposes a pharmacy run followed by a drive south, while Amanda fears a repeat of Norton’s disastrous expedition. Their practical debate soon turns philosophical: when fear removes power, light, and rules, how quickly does civilization unravel? The scene matters because its dark humor never hides the danger of saying goodbye.
