How Did Davie Die?
"A" seemingly claims their first victim in the opening minutes of the first episode. After Imogen's mother, Davie (Carly Pope), receives an ominous message on a flier for the infamous Y2K party where Angela (Gabriella Pizzolo) died, Imogen and Karen Beasley (Mallory Bechtel) head upstairs to Imogen's room. Later that night, the girls find Davie dead in the bathtub — the letter "A" scrawled ominously in her blood on the wall. It looks to be a suicide, but given the mysterious circumstances, Imogen understandably suspects that "A" was involved.
Did "A" Kill Davie?
For much of the season, Imogen suspects Davie's suicide was staged by "A," but the finale reveals Davie did, in fact, die by suicide over the guilt she felt about her treatment of Angela — all prompted by the flyer for the 1999 rave "A" sent to her. "A," aka Principal Clanton, decides Imogen must die in her mother's place because, as he sees it, Davie "took the coward's way out."
