TRIPWIRE has been canceled so here's the whole Summary of the series that Cetrifuger posted today SPOILERS IF U HAVE NOT WATCHED TRIPWIRE ACT 3 TREACHERY EPISODE 5: Culling The Herd 'THE MASSACRE EPISODE' SAM (a chip virus) possesses Cooper (Samper) and goes on a massacre within the enclosure. He takes out almost all of the main cast. Sundial (NPC) betrays Evelyn in an act of worship to Samper, but they kill him regardless. While this is happening we explore Coopers POV in Synthetic Heaven as he comes face to face with a mirage of Leo and Ricky. We juxtapose the calmness of the digital music here to cover of the classic song, "Run Rabbit." by Flanagan and Allen, following Leo's death (playing from a speaker during the cabin scene.) Ricky narrowly escapes death, as Evelyn finds him and smashes Samper's screen with the last of her strength before collapsing, dead. Ricky carries all the dead contestants to the recovery void, and the episode ends with him completely alone. EPISODE 6: Mansion Party 'THE ARGUING EPISODE' The challenge is a game of Mafia inside a mansion. HERRIC is in her compacted form wearing a fancy bowtie. Two sides oppose eachother (Celeste+Leo +Sundial (NPC) and Cooper +Ricky+Evelyn), and the discussion devolves Into accusations, building tension, and leading up to the point where mafia accusations towards Cooper turn into grilling regarding the events of episode 5. Everyone is angry and finishes the challenge upset, jaded and worse off terms with each other. Cooper is voted out (in mafia game) per majority rules, and Ricky exits the challenge to talk to him about what happened in regards to the last episode. Cooper breaks down into tears and begs Ricky to forgive him for what Samper did.

COOPERS ELDEST BROTHER WAS PUT IN A COMOTOSE STATE (as seen in episode one, he has a static screen), TO SILENCE WHAT HE KNEW ABOUT HIS FATHER’S DEATH AND THE COMPANY FOR GOOD) Most of the episode is occupied by arguing and hurried explanations, but Cooper is unable to excuse murder, and drifts away from the other two as a result (Ricky and Evelyn.)
