Now, why would Lux get her stupid ass on a boat with these three strangers and sail out into the middle of the Pacific Ocean?

For all intents and purposes, Lux doesn’t know Nico, she met him mere months before following him out to Hawaii and then subsequently getting on that damn boat. Lux is an idiot. She knows it, Nico knows it, her boss knows it, and everyone knows it! You are sleeping in the living room, on the floor, of a home that is neither yours nor Nico’s, and yet, you are perfectly content with the dream that he sold you (tax-free, might I add). Lux is dumb.

Something is off with Brittany and Amma and at first, they’re both really playing on the fact that Lux is dumb (have I said that already?). They’re both clearly running from something and all will expose themselves in due time.

Amma more than Brittany, is who I’m worried about, she is unstable and clearly has emotional issues. Are they lovers? Are they friends? Who knows! One thing I do know, Amma knows exactly what happened to Brittany’s family and that will be revealed as well.

Jake and Eliza are exactly who I would assume to be sailing out to Meroe Island. Ostentatiously rich white people with nothing better to do.

In the end, everything that happens on this island really could have been prevented by not going out there in the first place. Lux got everything that she deserved because she should have kept her tail in San Diego. This is some WPS (#IYKYK). None of these people should have been on this island blindly trusting one another to keep them safe.
