Jimmy died second! And this could hold so much symbolism that it’s ridiculous. Let me explain…
They decided to hold a mock funeral for Jimmy, going as far as burying him in the grave. Joel lets him out of the grave. Then the first death is Lizzie of all people. The symbolism right there practically wrote itself.
From Cleo’s pov I couldn’t tell which killed him. The Wither or the Warden. Either way you got more symbolism right there.
I mean you could compare the wither to coal dust. The warden is more on the nose, a creature can only be found/summoned deep underground.
To cut my silly ramblings short: with a miner’s help the canary survived the journey through the mines only to die later in the fresh air.

Skipper and Alex’s friendship is the funniest thing. They're both leaders. They fight over who's in charge. They have the same ideas and processes. They can't work together. Skipper thinks Alex as a hippie. Skipper hallucinated Alex as a spirit guide. Skipper remembers Alex the most to help GUIDE HIM WHILE HE HAD MEMORY LOSS. They verbally bully each other the whole time. Alex encouraged Skipper to sing and dance. Alex wanted to chew him out for abandoning them in Africa. They're happy to see each other. They hate each other's guts. They're friends.
