Ranger Bob is revealed to be the one who trained the bear. In the final twist, it is disclosed that Ranger Bob trained the grizzly to target those members of the group who hadn't learned from their previous mistakes, effectively turning the bear into a weapon for his own twisted form of justice.

The bear attacks based on Ranger Bob's training, specifically hunting those who haven't shown redemption. Ranger Bob designed the bear to eliminate group members who continued their destructive behavior, Scab who leaves to do drugs, Trickster who pranks while others die, Bebe who plots murder, and others who fail to learn from their mistakes.

Bebe is killed by the bear the following morning. After she confesses to Ranger Bob that she manipulated him and even plotted to murder him with Lola's gun, she exits the cabin. The bear attacks her immediately, killing her in a particularly brutal way by ripping out her breast implant.

Foreshadowing: Bebe's admission of manipulation foreshadows her swift death as one who hadn't genuinely changed.

The news report falsely claims that Butch dressed as a bear to carry out the killings before escaping.

Scab leaves the group to inhale gas from a container, entering a drug-induced state. While he is on this drugged trip, the bear attacks and kills him.
