bernie arrives at the island before larry and richard and plans the murders with paulie (don calfa), the hitman, on the phone, unaware the conversation is being recorded on his answering machine. bernie then plants cash and a fake confession note implicating larry and richard in the insurance fraud. paulie arrives, killing bernie with a heroin overdose. when larry and richard arrive at bernie's house, they are shocked to find bernie's body. before they can call the police, guests arrive for a party that bernie used to host every weekend. to larry and richard's amazement, the guests are too engrossed in their partying to notice he is dead, with the dopey grin from the fatal injection and his sunglasses concealing his lifeless state. fearing implication in bernie's death, and wanting to enjoy the luxury of the house for the weekend, larry proposes he and richard maintain the illusion that bernie is still alive, a notion that richard finds absurd. only the arrival of richard's office crush, gwen saunders (catherine mary stewart), a summer intern for the company, convinces him to go along with larry's plan.

in the reality seen in the "house of m" storyline, in which the scarlet witch alters reality to make mutants the ruling class over humans, gwen was never killed. instead, she married peter parker, and the couple had a young son. she had become a scientist, a savvy businesswoman, and a peace activist – and had a decidedly hostile relationship with chemical weapon developer norman osborn. mary jane watson, a popular actress in this reality, played gwen stacy in the film adaptation of spider-man's life story. gwen and her father read textual accounts of their deaths in the main universe, though they believe this simply to be the morbid imaginings of peter parker, who is suffering from mental health issues.
