The killer planned to kill everyone at the party

It was found out that the fondue that contained the poison was gifted to Victor by another friend, Craig. He was supposed to be at Kasie's house on the game night but later messaged that he wouldn't be able to make it. However, Craig was found murdered the same night as Victor, and it was revealed that he never sent the message or the fondue.

Kasie and other friends revealed that Craig had been asking weird questions about an off-the-books crime. Parker and Nick found expensive gaming cards, valued at over $100,000, in Craig's locker. They initially thought Craig was making counterfeit cards, but they were wrong.

They found that Fletcher was the one counterfeiting the cards and Craig had been trying to get evidence against him. However, despite having the motive to kill Craig, Fletcher refused his involvement in any of the murders.

Kasie and all her gaming friends used to be Professor Davis' students and still went to her for valuable advice. When Kasie was looking through her old files, she found out that someone that she had helped put away when she worked for the Maryland State Police Department, had been released recently.

Suspecting that Professor Davis' life might be in danger, Nick and Parker rushed to her college. The ex-convict, Jesse Winston, had held Davis at gunpoint. He confronted her saying that while he was in prison he lost his brother and nephew because no one was there to look after them. Winston is shot down by Nick and Parker.

Later, Kasie found out that her mentor Davis had fabricated evidence against Winston, on the pretense of him having a long rap sheet. Despite her affection towards Davis, she reported her.

Later, to cheer up Kasie, the whole team showed up at her house with food and games. She was a little reluctant at first but soon embraced the family she had at MCRT.
