What Happened

What Happened? is the first episode of Season One of The Society.

Summary
While a mysterious and irritating smell permeates the town of West Ham, Connecticut, the high school students depart by bus for a 10-day trip. The students are returned to town that same night, told that the road to the camp is blocked. However, they discover that everyone else in town has disappeared, and while they can use their cell phones to contact each other, they are electronically cut off from the rest of the world. Some use their newfound freedom to engage in a wild party, while others attempt to ascertain what happened. The next day, they discover that all roads out of town are blocked by a seemingly endless and dangerous forest. A group is sent to explore the woods. Cassandra worries about being able to find medicine for her heart condition. She urges the other teens to share their resources to ensure survival in the abandoned town. Campbell points a pistol at Cassandra. The exploration party returns, carrying the body of Emily, who has died from a snakebite.
