Scavenger Hunt

Part of him, though, still wanted to continue her legacy. Maybe one day –
Michael recovered from the broken bones he received in Antarctica. He and Susan lived together happily and were married three years later.
Joe was the butt of Internet joking. The video of him masturbating in front of Susan made a viral sensation, but it turned out that many women were turned on by that and he ended up finding easy sex for the next several years. He had trouble holding a job, and eventually ended up working in a factory, where nobody knew who he was.
Jonathan never spoke to his teammates again once they found out he’d stolen the money from Emma. He limped through his life, finding ever new paths to self-destruction. He rarely thought of Emma and never of Pietre.
Samantha divorced Carl, using the YouTube videos to show his terrible treatment of her. She had a good lawyer who negotiated a fair settlement. Years later, she remarried, to a man who treated her and her children with respect and love.
Pietre and Maria tried to work things out, but he’d seen how she had assumed he’d stolen the money and that ate away at him. They lived together for six months before he realized she’d never trust him. They split up and he ended up going back to his first love, cocaine.
Tanya committed suicide by slicing her wrists after eight months of useless therapy.
Scavenger Hunt lived on. The first two episodes became the biggest bootlegs ever snaking through the Internet and some ambitious people managed to piece together the YouTube videos into an unofficial third episode. Depending on which vendor you shopped at, you could get totally different views of that last week.
The show was most often characterized as evil. It liked that.
