Only two episodes into the series, the revenge subplot gets further derailed when Cara (Ashley Benson) and her boyfriend show up on the same nature trail as Liv (Jenna Coleman) and Will (Oliver Jackson-Cohen). The awkward foursome head off on a trail together and band together a bit more after Will takes a tumble in the woods and his distraction leads to their car being stolen putting all four under the same hotel roof. We also get flashbacks to quite a bit of Liv stalking Cara in the weeks prior to the trip. Laying the melancholy on thick, after offering us a reason to root for murder at the end of the first episode, the second simply makes us sad for everyone involved.
