Summary
Analysis
Kendrick and Damien suggest that Rufus might be dead already, but Peck continues to refresh Rufus’s Instagram. Peck wants Rufus dead, and he wants to be the one to kill him.
Peck doesn’t care that shooting Rufus will ruin his life in a variety of ways—but because he didn’t get the call and knows he’s not dying, the consequences seem worth it.
