The DAT Tape
A digital audio tape from the woods — the survivors' recorded sins, weaponized in the present.
Updated through S3E10
A DAT (digital audio tape) recorded in the wilderness surfaces at Shauna's house in the present, driving the S3 plot. It captures what the group did in the woods.
What's confirmed in canon
S3The tape belonged to Hannah, Edwin's research partner, and records the group in the wild.
S3E10Melissa reveals she left the tape; it holds the cannibal feast and the audio of Lottie murdering Edwin.
Where the community lands
The tape is the past made admissible: physical evidence of the cannibal feast and of Lottie killing Edwin, in a show that otherwise leaves the wilderness deniable. Melissa uses it as leverage against Shauna.
