As the last episode marks one step closer to the season finale in December 11, audience wait eagerly to find which of the guests are killed by the end, as revealed early in episode 1. This trick follows on the same premise which was set in the previous season, where the story begins with a dead body and then viewers are taken back through a flashback of events. This leads the viewers to witness how it all unfolded at the luxurious hotel which will result in the death of the unknown character that was shown at the beginning.
