The party boat docks at the Eden Resort and David and the captain go to find Zoa and Judith. They find them in a room with two other boys, one of whom is holding a gun to Judith’s head. David tackles the boy with the gun, saving Judith. ..
Eden is a community of 53 people, all self-sufficient and content. They work hard but are comfortable and have everything they need.
They promise that any of them could be lifelong members. They don’t pay anything for living here (which is Africa’s next question) and that they live off “pure generosity.”
The cult knows that Fran is alive and they’re trying to find him. Eva has blown the whistle and exposed his location to the others, so they can track him down.
Eva returns to camp and confirms to Astrid that he has been taken care of.
Ulises leads the five teens into a room and tells them they will be staying in different modules for evaluation. He then separates them into groups. ..
Gabriela is worried about her sister and constantly messages her phone. With her father off with a new girlfriend, Gabriela is feeling alone. That much is especially evident when Zoë doesn’t message back. She, of course, handed over her phone on the way into this trip. ..
Nicholas and Claudia are sharing a room. Claudia is quiet and reserved, while Nicholas is more talkative. Zoa notices that the bed has CFF etched on the side of it.
Charly starts eating all the free food in his module and appears to be alone. Aldo remains suspicious, just like he was before, and wants to speak to management. As he keeps asking questions, his roommate urges him to stop, claiming they “don’t like that here.”
Aldo, a homeless man, is approached by a drone in the middle of the night. The drone shines a spotlight on Aldo, sending him back into his module. ..

Zoa starts to get close to Nicholas, discussing their past and family life. However, she is chosen to head into the inner-circle in the courtyard to discuss what’s going on with her. ..
Zoa admits that she is worried about Judith and her sister Gabi. She talks about how her mother is a heroin addict, she is 19, her sister is 16, and it’s actually her sister’s birthday.
This intel is enough for those in the control room to use Zoa’s phone to message her sister, using the exact words Zoa does to stop her growing suspicious of her disappearance. Gabi reads the message her sister sends and is enraged. ..
That night, Zoa wakes up to find a strange boy outside the module. When she leaves to heck what’s happening, he’s gone and Zoa is left alone.
The Episode Review
As the group settles in, they begin to notice something strange. There are no lights on in the compound. This is not normal for Eden, as there are always lights on at night. Suddenly, everyone in the room becomes tense and uneasy. They know something is wrong, but they don’t know what it is.
The article primarily focuses on Zoa, and does not provide much detail about the other people in this group. ..
We know very little about the three main characters, Charley, Aldo and Africa, and even less about their backgrounds. We don’t even know their names yet. We only know that they all feel one-dimensional and that there’s not a lot of information to go on.
The show is short, so this is looking to be a quick and easy binge watch on the whole. The ending definitely teases more drama on the horizon, and there’s enough to whet the appetite leading into the next chapter.
