{{ CW: death, PG torture. Basically this clip, which needs its own CW for "ridiculous product placement" and "emotionally manipulative use of Stand By Me"}}

[It's the dead of night along a long pier. Five teenagers set out to fight a single woman, who seems to have some kind of magical ability. They attempt to fight her with numbers, but it almost seems one-sided against them. They trained, but not nearly enough. It's not long at all before they're defeated, restrained. Interrogated. The witch is looking for something and threatening them all in turn until the one identified as "Blue" blurts out the answer she seeks. She rewards this information by depositing him into the bay water and leaving him to drown.

The teenagers are released, scrambling to their fallen friend. They manage to retrieve him from the water, but by the time they pull him up, he's just a pale body with bulging eyes, too waterlogged to accept new air. He's dead. They've all let him die.

Jason will spend the better part of a day here, refusing to heed the advice from the network. He tries to not get caught (he's not quick enough). He tries to give up the information first so she'll take his life instead (she laughs in his face and chooses Blue again). He tries to react more quickly, to figure out how to do chest compressions, to keep his fragile friend from knowing what dying feels like.

Even after the first day, he'll return back to try, with less frequency. There's got to be something he could have done better. Hindsight is 20/20 and he's tired of losing friends.]
