Episode 3 begins by depicting the Ratliff family (excluding their father Tim, played by Jason Isaacs) on the shore, under ominous gray-blue skies that cast a somber tone over the surroundings. The three siblings are huddled together, with Lochlan (Sam Nivola) remarking, “This is what it looks like before a tidal wave.” Meanwhile, matriarch Victoria (Parker Posey) gazes out at the sea, while their North Carolina home, bathed in a fiery interior glow, looms behind her, hinting at a dream. As Victoria awakens, she listens to Tim having another tense call about the scandal he’s embroiled in, but which she remains ignorant of. Over breakfast, Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook) proposes: “It might be some kind of warning… dreams can offer a glimpse into something.” Dun, dun, DUNNN. As more calls pour in — and Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger), who works for his father, gets close to discovering something’s wrong — Tim proposes that the family should put away their devices for the duration of the trip, with Pam gathering them all into a large bag. What could possibly go awry?
