Things get worse after Bree leads down the wrong trail, and then the map is lost in flooded creek. After Alice deliberately leads them in the wrong direction, then tries to force them to keep hiking after they find shelter, things finally erupt into physical when she announces her intention to leave with or without them, and tries to take her phone and the group's only working torch.
