In last night’s episode (December 19 2019), Kush went to talk to Jean, where she was watching a farewell video of her friend Daniel, who she believes passed away.

When Kush said to her “you’re just having a down day, we all have those”, Jean replied saying: “Or maybe I’m tired. Or maybe this is how it feels, the beginning of the end.”
