Before we’re all hungover at departures with our duty-free, let’s not forget the dead body on the beach in Episode 1. Someone is either traveling in the hold and deplaning in a casket, or getting buried on the mainland. Shall we peruse the suspects? I’ve never seen anyone as likely to soil another person’s luggage like Armond did in Season 1 as Valentina when her crush admitted she had a boyfriend . The thought of Valentina—arbiter of the season’s best,line, “Beppa Pig?”—waking up from her birthday night of lesbian de-flowering to find guests’ bodies washed up on her hotel’s private beach is a dastardly gift.
