POSSIBLE SPOILERS

!i felt the Sritala’s husband mega reveal at the end of the episode was kinda corny anyway, as was the kid surviving the smoothie with no hospital visit or other ill effects, and none of the rich kids even getting a text about their dad being indicted? There was a lot of build up to a lot of hand waved consequences in this season. It kinda felt like a Marvel movie wrap up compared to the previous two seasons. Adding Zion x Piper would be even worse!<

They didn’t have their phones. They were all in a bag with the resort staff.

  The final scene is them all on their phones. Schwarzenegger’s character works at the company, too.

    Only for a few seconds though. The phones were in that sack for days, so they had to be powered off or their batteries would be dead. It takes longer than that to boot up and connect after being powered off. Right before the credits rolled you could see the older son’s reaction to something on the phone. My interpretation was that the news had just started rolling in and Dad was about to get a lot of awkward questions.
