4. How does Rex's intentional sabotage backfire?

Rex's intentional sabotage backfires because the food he sabotaged was made with flour contaminated with ergot poisoning. Ergot poisoning is a condition caused by consuming food contaminated with a fungus called ergot. This fungus produces toxic compounds that can cause hallucinations, convulsions, and other severe symptoms. By sabotaging the food with contaminated flour, Rex unintentionally causes harm to those who consume it, leading to the backfiring of his plan.

6. Why was Eddy not able to be included in the Compound?

Eddy was not able to be included in the compound because he had allergies. Additionally, he was not included because there was a kitten present, and Eddy's allergies may have been triggered by the presence of the kitten. Furthermore, Eddy was back at the cabin with Gram, indicating that he was physically not present and therefore could not be included in the compound.
