Darby confronts her prime suspect.
I enjoyed that they cut off a few "Darby, no!" moments by reminding us that they're suffering from a severe concussion. But oof: telling Lee and then going to the pool alone were not the best-thought-out moves.

My outlandish theory is that it's Ray. Not sure how Ray could have caused Bill to OD, but both Rohan's and Sean's deaths are computer-controlled, as is the pool cover. Ray would also have video and audio surveillance more or less the entire hotel and know what everyone is up to (regardless of what Andy claims about guest privacy).
As for motive, that's not super clear. Maybe protecting Andy and/or Zoomer? Given what Andy said about public knowledge of his illness destabilizing global markets, it's possible that Bill and Rohan's plan was to gather and publish evidence of something -- Andy's illness, Zoomer's true parentage, or the fact that the space exploration company is a paper tiger.

Agreed. He could have a robot body and everything.

Shouldn't the heat in this place be geothermal? They're on top of a hot spring. They shouldn't have to ration that!

Also, does anyone else thing that Sian did something to speed her death along while Darby was out of the room? I was wondering if she's actually allowed water by mouth right now, which made it seems more like Sian was maneuvering Darby into the bathroom so she could have a few moments of being unattended...
