   #4 - Dead End

   S1:E65/27/2021

   The annual demolition derby provides some much-needed distraction from the troubling revelations of the previous episode. With the cops closing in on the judges, no one is sure the game can continue. Heather repairs one relationship, and ruptures another, in a dramatic ending that proves the game must go on...but not for everyone.

   #6 - Trust

   S1:E75/27/2021

   Trust falls get literal meaning in the game's fifth challenge, where an abandoned train bridge forms the backdrop for revealing footage of our players-and the unintentional outcome of their secrets, and their lies. This challenge will determine who goes onto Final Four. The truth may set our players free...but not before it returns to haunt them.

   #9 - Joust

   S1:E105/27/2021

   Someone is dead set on making sure that Joust, the final challenge, ends with the right winner-and Heather realizes that for at least one person, Panic isn't a game anymore. An explosive conclusion brings the game to a permanent end...or so, at least, it seems. This year's players may be finished with the game. But it may not be finished with them.
