** [[spoiler:Mike refuses to believe Josh's pleas that he didn't hurt Jessica, despite the fact that Josh would have to be significantly faster and stronger than he is to have abducted Jess and left those wounds on her. In his anger, he leaves Josh tied up in the shed alone while he goes to check on the others in the lodge. This is the main reason Josh, who has the cable car keys, gets abducted by the wendigo, which causes Mike to split up from the group and go to search for him and in turn causes the others to follow to warn Mike of the wendigos after reading about them. While Mike's distress is understandable, his actions end up putting himself and the others in further danger, and either causes Josh to die or become a Wendigo.]]

He can choose to save Ashley over himself, will possibly be skeptical about [[spoiler:Josh killing Jessica]], and can disarm Mike to protect Josh from being hurt despite what Josh put them through. He is also the only member of the cast who canonically feels guilty about the prank on Hannah, even though he wasn't even involved -- everyone else only has the option to express guilt and can just as easily dismiss it.
