Cherry reveals that Simon Gallea, the up-and-coming YouTube star known as "Simon Says Be Kind," did not actually die. Thor had suspected this, and it turned out to be true: Simon faked his own death to gain more followers and sell more merchandise. Moreover, Simon was never even on the flight—he fabricated the entire story of receiving a death prediction from Cherry.

Cherry expresses indignation at Simon's deception, noting that she never met him or made any prediction for him. She finds it ironic that someone whose brand is built on kindness and "random acts of sunshine" would fake his own death.

However, the public outrage directed at Simon served as a useful distraction for Cherry. His fraud caused people to conflate his hoax with Cherry's actual predictions, making her abilities seem less credible. When "the Death Lady" came up in conversation, people began dismissing the entire plane incident as some kind of fraud. Despite the backlash Simon received from angry messages and breakfast-show hosts, he ultimately achieved exactly what he wanted: notoriety, merchandise sales, and thousands of new followers.
