(SPOILER ALERT) - "margot" at the end

why did Chef let her go after her "ruse" with the cheeseburger to go thing?
(and yes I get that he started his cooking career flipping burgers)

She was never supposed to be there. She wasn’t a target.

aye - so why didnt Chef let her go earlier, and then made the point to Tyler that Tyler had knowingly brought her to the island and to her death ? Because Chef could have sent her away immediately before she knew anything at all.

My guess is that it didn’t really occur to him until she order the cheeseburger and he got lost in his feels.

Also, the dude was batshit crazy.

It's because she had reconnected him with his soul by ordering a cheeseburger.

[–] bounce (76) 13 days ago

OK.

so why didnt everybody else order a cheeseburger to go ?

[–] FootOfDavros (8142) 13 days ago

It's been a while since I saw this but I think they'd already ordered.

but nobody orders anything. they are provided with a multi course menu that Chef has designed.

the fact that Margot ordered an item that wasn't on the pre-set menu means that Chef was prepared to go outside his menu - as he had with Tyler's course - so presumably that would mean anybody could order a cheeseburger too.

Yeah, I was thinking that may have been the case - Did they offer a vegetarian option? I really can't remember...

Anyway, she was the one who "broke the spell", if you want to call it that, with the cheeseburger order and that's why she was spared. Wouldn't have worked for the other pretentious diners as they were already guilty in his eyes.
