Ethan’s contributions to the group are legendary for their silence, and yet his discomfort roars louder than the group chat when plans change. Jade floats options that would require a GPS tracker just to join brunch, as if assigning you to a remote Airbnb is some kind of compromise instead of a gentle shove into the social abyss. The plot twist where showing up might risk Ethan’s fragile sense of inclusion is almost funny, if “funny” didn’t taste so bitter.

Meanwhile, the friend group reveals their true colors with calls for peace by omission, suggesting you take your loyalty and just sit this one out. Jade herself gets stuck performing acrobatics with tears and guilt while everyone else waits to see who lands safely and who gets bounced from the circle. Montreal didn’t change, but the meaning of “best friend” sure did. The lesson? In the end, one insecure boyfriend can wipe out ten years of trust and two Airbnbs can turn a group trip into a solo act.
