Updated through S2E9
Steven Krueger plays Ben Scott, the closeted assistant coach who survives the crash but loses a leg to it. As the girls' order supplants his, he becomes an outsider, and in the S2 finale he burns the cabin down and flees.
What's confirmed in canon
S1Ben survives the crash but his leg is amputated; his authority erodes as the girls' rituals take over.
S2E9Ben sets fire to the cabin and disappears into the wilderness.
S3The girls capture, try, and kill Ben; the flashbacks end with outsiders finding the camp and Ben's severed head.
Where the community lands
Ben is the audience's horrified adult witness — the one person clinging to pre-wilderness morality — which is exactly why the group has to be rid of him. His execution and cannibalization in S3 is the point of no return.
Still open
Q1Does killing Ben break the last taboo — or was that already gone?
