- Connor is driving his car with Laurel, Michaela and Wes (along with Sam's body) when out of nowhere, Asher comes walking across the road, nearly knocking him down. The gang are incredibly nervous that he’d see them but thankfully didn’t, as Asher is paying more attention to his phone (and who is on the other side). After the road becomes clear, Connor began to speak, hinting at the nights activities. “This is freakin’ Whack-a-Mole.”
