Page 131 of Alice Chen's Reality Check

ALICE:Oh, yeah, this part is good.

DANIEL:—and yelled, “Your flame in hell is about to be extinguished!”

ALICE:And then she whacked him really hard.

DANIEL:He stayed down after that.

ALICE:Then it was just a matter of having Leah and the PAs drag him and Bryan off and put them in the pantry, which we’ve been using as our makeshift brig.

DETECTIVE:…Okay.

ALICE:I know. I feel like I’ve lived a lifetime on this show.

DETECTIVE:Ms. Chen, during your retelling of the moments leading up to the finale, you mentioned several other accidents that had happened before Mr. Brophy’s death. Can you tell us more about that?

ALICE:I can do you one better. I’ve prepared a couple visual aids to help me explain and account for everything. I gave them to your partner before we came in here?

DETECTIVE:Oh, yes. They’re right here. You really didn’t have to make this for us.

ALICE:Actually, I made this before we knew we’d be talking to you.

DANIEL:She was really excited to get her hands on a paper and pen. It was like seeing a raccoon eat a hot dog.

[Detective glances at diagram, 10 seconds]

DETECTIVE:Why don’t you sum up your findings for us?

ALICE:Yes. Great. I’d love to. Basically, Peter Dixon wanted to take overDawn Tay’s Infernoand replace Dawn Taylor in season two with Selena Rivera as host.

DANIEL:To be clear, Selena had no idea Peter Dixon had this role in mind for her.

ALICE:Yes, thank you. Selena had nothing to do with any of this. I think Peter Dixon saw a beautiful, accomplished woman and decided he could use her for his own designs. But clearly, he underestimated her and us. Anyway, Dawn felt threatened by all of this and tried to bully Selena into leaving the show by giving her food poisoning, exploiting her fear of the dark, and who knows what else.

DANIEL:At the same time, Peter Dixon was trying to force Dawn Taylor off the show by intimidating and manipulating her. He made her think her stalker was on the island and placed her dangerously close to a fireworks blast, among several other incidents, all orchestrated with the help of production assistants Anton and Freya, as well as Bryan, a producer.

ALICE:But Dawn Taylor wasn’t having it. Then Anton decided to blackmail the wrong person—

DANIEL:That person being Peter Dixon.

ALICE:And Peter Dixon had Bryan kill him. Then, when it became clear that I was investigating Anton’s murder, Peter Dixon tried to scare me off with a snake in my helmet.

DANIEL:Don’t forget that he had Freya push you off the balcony.

ALICE:Oh, yeah! I almost died!

DANIEL:Twice. The bungee cord, remember?

ALICE:Ohmygod. I think I was blocking that out. Note to self: Email admin and ask if my insurance will cover therapy for near-death experiences.

DANIEL:Did you just say your note to self out loud?

ALICE:It’s been a very long week, Daniel.

ALICE:Anyway, after all that, Peter Dixon tried to murder Dawn Taylor by rigging the winner’s trophy to explode. And here we are.

DETECTIVE:That was…thorough.

ALICE:Do you have any more questions for us?
