Not sure what to make of our dear Esme. She seems intent on getting together with the other teens (Spencer, Trina, Josslyn, Cameron) to rent a cabin for a weekend. First of all, girlfriend obviously has NO money, even if she's covering it well. Spencer is also cash-strapped these days (and out on bail), and the other three teens are newly enrolled in college (read: busy). It's nearly winter in upstate New York, so it would not be the most comfortable weekend. Now that we have confirmation that Esme has some sort of connection to Ryan Chamberlain, I'm wondering if they're taking us back to the classic teen slasher movies of the 1980s (a group of teens in an isolated cabin in the woods with an insane killer on the loose) with Esme as the insane killer.
Not sure how it would translate with these teens, though. Esme is manipulating Josslyn into having sex with Cameron (and vice versa), and one of the tropes of slasher movies is that two teens sneak off to have sex, only to be murdered by the insane killer. But another trope is that the black character is always the first to go down, and we all know Trina ain't going down---she's the smartest girl in the room most of the time. If anything, she'd be the one to save them all. And what about Spencer? Would Esme also kill Spencer just to silence him? I guess it depends on whether Esme really does care for him (or his money), or if she's doing all this just for Ryan's benefit.
