Episode 1: The Bullet
The Season begins immediately where the last one left off, with the gunman shooting Maggie and running out of the shop. Two off-duty cops hear the gunshot and see the gunman fleeing. They order him to put his hands up, but the gunman ignores them and runs into the woods. After calling for backup, the cops chase the gunman into the woods. Seeing that he is not losing them, the gunman takes cover behind a tree and starts shooting at the cops. They shoot back at him and a shootout ensues.

The gunman manages to shoot both of the cops in the head and kill them. Just then, another one comes up; it’s Shane, having heard the call for backup. He tackles the gunman from behind and attempts to handcuff him. The gunman proves he is strong and forces Shane off of him. He smacks the gun out of his hand. The gunman and Shane hit and kick at each other, dodging some. Shane smashes the gunman’s head against a tree. The gunman elbows Shane in the face and throws him over his shoulder. Before Shane can get back up, the gunman gets his gun back at points it at Shane’s head.

He tells Shane that he’ll be generous, but if he encounters him again, he will not hesitate to pull the trigger. The gunman runs off. Just then, Shane’s deputy, Abraham Ford, comes running up. Abraham sees the dead bodies and helps Shane up. He calls for medical aid, even though Shane insists that he is fine. We cut to the hospital. It is revealed that instead of waiting for an ambulance, Beth and Hershel carried Maggie all the way to the hospital to save her, along with Pop. Once inside, Maggie is taken by doctors for surgery.

A doctor runs up and tells them that they will do everything they can do save Maggie’s life. Beth and Hershel watch as Maggie is taken out of sight. Hershel hugs Beth, who is still crying and wants to stay with Maggie through her surgery. Hershel says that Maggie will live, and he’s sure of it. Just then, Daryl, Glenn, Carl and Michonne come running up. Everyone hugs Beth and Maggie except for Michonne, who hugs Pop and asks what happened. Hershel and Beth is too traumatized to speak, as they have Maggie’s blood on their shirts, so Pop speaks instead. He tells them about what happened in the diner.

Everyone is shocked to hear this. Carl asks if the shooting looked like it was on purpose. Pop says that the gunman was asking for their wallets, and would have shot him if he didn’t hand over the money. Daryl wonders if the gunman might actually be Ghostface #3. Michonne doesn’t think so as the description fits a regular robbery. Glenn says that it’s not important right now, and what they need to know is if Maggie will survive. Hershel summons the strength to speak and tells him that Maggie was shot in the abdomen, meaning she is in critical condition.

Glenn sits on a chair, distraught that she might die. Daryl sits next to him. He tells Glenn that Maggie is a strong girl, and she will make it out of this alive. Glenn looks at Daryl and says “Thanks brother” They share a friendship hug. Carl asks if Maggie is in surgery now. Pop confirms this and says that they should have results by tonight whether or not Maggie will survive. He takes Michonne home, not wanting her to be an intense scene like this. Just then, Carl gets a call on his phone.

It’s Abraham, who was given Carl’s cell phone number by Shane. He tells Carl about the gunfight and how Shane is lightly injured, but assures him it is nothing serious. If he wants to see Shane, then he’s at the police station. Carl leaves to do so, and Beth and Hershel come too, knowing there isn’t anything more they can do here and wanting to tell Shane about what happened. At the police station, which is near the hospital, Shane’s bruises are being bandaged up by Abraham, even though he insisted that the gunman “barely scratched him”

Carl arrives with Beth and Hershel and hugs Shane, who tells Carl about what happened. Carl explains that Beth and Hershel were at the scene, and that Maggie was shot. Shane is both furious and shocked by this, as is Abraham. He and Shane ask Beth and Hershel to describe what happened, if they are in the mood that is. Hershel and Beth explain that the gunman was there to rob the place, and he didn’t seem to have a real grudge against them. They add that the gunman had a male voice. Shane and Abraham take notes.

We cut to later that afternoon, when Michonne and Pop are talking at their home. Pop tells Michonne that what happened at the bar may have been an isolated thing, but Michonne is unconvinced, believing that the gunman might be Ghostface #3. She also asks her dad why he is so concerned if the gunman got his money and it’s over. Pop admits that he believes that the gunman might rob more places, or try to conceal their identity, with dangerous options. Michonne says she can handle herself, but Pop does not want her getting any ideas.

He admits that he is still sad about Sasha’s death, asking Michonne if she is as well. Michonne admits to this, but she’ll also “changed” since then. Pop says that he can see that. Michonne goes up to her room. As she sits in bed, Michonne gets a phone call. She answers it to find a voice on the other end, one that is disoriented, not like any Ghostface voices we’ve heard. We come to realize that this is the gunman. Michonne tells him to fuck off. The gunman says that he’ll kill Pop right now unless Michonne listens to him, and relays a message to the other survives. She reluctantly agrees to listen.

The gunman admits that he has no relation to the killers, and he does not plan to strike again. However, the gunman asserts that the robbery was “necessary” and gives her two options. The first option is that Michonne and the other survivors can forget about what happened and walk away. The second option is that if the survivors attempt to find out his identity, then the gunman will start murdering them and everyone they love. The gunman says that he would do that to protect himself, and get away with it. He tells her to pass on the message to all the survivors, and hangs up.

We cut to Carl, who is visiting two people. These people are Carol and Sophia Peletier. Sophia is Carl’s new girlfriend, while Carol is Sophia’s mother. Carol seeks Carl as a great person for her daughter to know, and approves of their relationship. Carl is over having lunch with them. He explains that he came over because one of his friends got shot, and he wants to get away from the action. Carol says that’s horrible and gives her condolences. Sophia says that nothing like that should be happening.

Carl admits that at the retreat, he wished that he never lived in Redfield, but plans to stay with Shane and Sophia. Carl says that he knows this is a personal question, but asks if Carol or Sophia have experienced something like that. Carol stays silent, but eventually admits that she has. When Carl asks what it is, Carol and Sophia don’t want to talk about it. Carl agrees to this and looks at Sophia. Carol asks Carl how he got interested in Sophia to begin with.

Carl says that there was “something familiar” about Sophia to him, but he’ll discuss it later. At nighttime in the Greene house, Beth and Hershel are eagerly awaiting a call from the hospital, as they except Maggie’s surgery to be done around this time. They are holding hands, refusing to let each other go. Just then, the phone rings. Hershel answers it and asks how Maggie is doing. After a short time, Hershel hangs up. He reveals to Beth that Maggie has survived the surgery and will fully recover. Beth screams in joy. She hugs Hershel, who hugs her back.

We cut to the abandoned hospital, where Ghostface is there. Just then, another killer walks into the room. This is Santa Ghostface, wearing a Santa costume, except all of the red is black. He looks creepy and has a hatcher in his arms. Ghostface says that if children saw Santa like this, they would have a heart attack. Santa lets out a “Ho Ho Ho” kind of laugh. From his voice, it’s clear that he is a male, but is doing a Santa impression whenever he speaks to hide his identity. Ghostface tells him to speak in a normal voice. Santa says that he would be “naughty” for not being cautious, and this is why Ghostface should always keep his costume on.

Ghostface decides to go with this, and shows Santa a series of pictures on the wall. There is a question mark on Maggie’s head, as they don’t know the news she has survived the shooting yet. Ghostface tells Santa that they are start the killing spree tomorrow, wanting to keep up the pressure on the survivors while the iron is hot. He tells Santa to choose one of the survivors to hunt down and kill tomorrow. After some consideration, Santa slams his hatchet into one of the photos, making his pick. We do not see who it is. Smash to black.

Episode 2: The Naughty Survivor
We cut to the next morning, when all of the survivors are meeting up at the high school, except for Maggie, who is still in the hospital. Everyone is relieved and happy that Maggie will survive the gunshot wound, especially Glenn. Michonne, however, interrupts the good mood by telling everyone about her call from the gunman last night. Michonne also explains that the gunman has no connection to Ghostface #3. Glenn and Beth say that they cannot let the gunman get away with this, but Carl does not want Beth to risk her life to attack someone who is about to withdraw completely.

He asks Beth if Hershel would want her getting herself into danger again when his other daughter’s life was literally just at risk. Daryl says that he doesn’t want to have to go back to the way things were five months ago, and Carl agrees. The survivors come to the conclusion that if they move on, everyone will remain in peace, though Beth and Glenn are reluctant. Carl asks Beth and Glenn if they really want to lose more people that they love, because that is what will happen if they investigate the gunman, when they can just live happy lives. Beth decides that she’ll stay down, but if provoked, she’ll act.

Glenn stands up and says that he needs to go somewhere. He walks to the guidance office, where he meets up with one of the guidance counselors, Ed Palmer. Ed asks Glenn if this is about Maggie’s shooting, and tells him that Maggie will recover. Glenn admits that he already knows that, and the problem is that his emotions are getting in the way of full recover. He explains how much he wants to hunt down the gunman and strangle him for what he did.

Ed tells Glenn that he is feeling PTSD, over his failure to help Maggie, and that can be overcome. Ed advises him to confess his feelings to Maggie, which might give him closure. He also suggests a club that is hosting a party tonight, and tells Glenn that he should go there and try to have some fun, celebrate that Maggie will survive. Ed also suggests that going after the gunman is not worth risking your life over. Glenn thanks Ed for the advice. He walks off.

As he does, Ed takes out a tape recorder from his pocket, revealing that he had been taking the conversation. He gives a shady look at Glenn as he leaves. We cut to lunch time, when the survivors are sitting down again. This time, we are introduced to Lucas Gottesman and Hanna Marin, a teenage couple that are new friends with the survivors. Sophia is also with them, and sitting next to Carl. Lucas and Hanna tell the others that they had a run in with the “queen bitches”

Sophia, who is new to the high school, asks what they mean. Hanna explains that the people they are referring to are two bitches named Nina Patterson and Chanel Oberlin. Lucas tells her that they are obsessed with popularity, and they are jealous of the survivors because of that. Hanna adds that they are worse than Dawn Lerner. At Carl’s urging, Sophia says that if she encounters Nina and Chanel, she’ll stay away from them. Daryl asks Glenn about how his appointment with Ed went. Glenn asks him about the club.

Daryl explains that he and Merle used to go there before the latter’s death. He offers to take Glenn to the club for some fun, and then he’ll reunite with Maggie in the morning. Glenn says that does sound like fun, and decides to come. Lucas and Hanna decide to go as well, as neither of them have gone to a club before. The others decide to stay home for the night. As they talk, Nina and Chanel are shown to be watching them from another table. Nina tells Chanel that the survivors think that they are cool.

Chanel assures Nina that she is the coolest girl in the whole world. Nina says that she never doubted that for a second, but they need to show that to everyone. Chanel suggests that Nina invite one of them to join their group, someone whom they haven’t met yet. Nina and Chanel take Michonne as their candidate, as she’s the only female survivor they haven’t come face to face with yet. Chanel asks Nina what will happen if she rejects. Nina tells Chanel that nobody rejects Nina Patterson, and if she does, they’ll “have a little fun”

Chanel giggles at the thought and says that hanging out with Nina is so much fun. She goes to kiss her, but Nina stops it. She says that she is not going to be kissing Chanel every day, and she needs to “prove” she is worthy of her, if they are going to remain friends. It’s quite clear that Chanel is pretty much a mindless lover for Nina, who is the smarter one. Chanel says that she’ll do anything for her. We cut to the police station, where Abraham and Shane are talking about Maggie’s shooting again.

Shane and Abraham have been piecing the case together and decide that the gunman is an adult male, but have almost no way of tracking him down, as the shooting was a random robbery. Shane admits that he does not want the killings to start up again, and hopes that the gunman will not strike again. Abraham says that he’s heard about what happened last time, and asks Shane if he wants to talk about it. Just then, Shane has a flashback of Judith screaming while being raped. He shakes his head at Abraham and walks away.

After this, a woman walks up to Abraham. She introduces herself as Rosita Espinosa, a reporter. She asks Abraham for an interview. She asks him about the robbery. Abraham says that at the moment, the shooting has been deemed random. Rosita nods, and Abraham looks at her. He looks attracted to her beauty, and Rosita also seems to like him. Abraham asks if she would like to go out to dinner soon. Rosita says that she would love to. She gives Abraham her phone number and walks away. We cut to later that night at the club, where Glenn, Lucas, Hanna and Daryl are arriving.

As they go in, Hanna says that this looks like a pretty fun bar, and she loves the rock music already. Lucas asks Hanna if she wants to dance. Hanna says that would be tons of fun. Hanna and Lucas go on the dance floor. After getting some drinks, Daryl and Glenn watch them and cheer them on. Glenn says that Daryl was right; a little fun was all he needed to cheer up. Daryl says that next time there is a party here, Glenn should bring Maggie here, predicting that they would wreck the dance floor. They clank cups and drink. Outside, a hooded figure walks up to the club.

He notices a bouncer guarding the entrance, and realizes that going in through the front door would draw way too much attention to him. The figure heads down an alley which leads to the back entrance of the club. Two homeless people are in the alley and notice the figure approaching. When they ask the figure if they are here to join them, the figure tells them that he needs some “practice” before the main event. He slams a hatchet into their foreheads, killing them. The figure lifts up his head, revealing them as Santa.

A kid is also shown to be hanging out in the alley and sees Santa’s face through the hood. He walks up to Santa and asks him for an early Christmas gift. Santa pretends to be nice and asks what the kid wants. The kid, around 13, wishes for the most awesome video games in the world. Santa says that he has a way better idea for a gift. Declaring him “naughty” for not minding his own business, Santa slams the kid against the wall and strangles him to death. Santa then goes to the back door and takes out a lock pick. He eventually manages to unlock the back door.

Still wearing his hoodie for stealth measures, Santa goes inside, where he is confronted by a bartender. When the bartender asks how Santa got in here, Santa throws the hatchet into his face and puts his corpse in a dark corner. Santa says this is going to be a very fun Christmas for him, but not so much for the survivors. At the dance floor, Hanna and Lucas are continuing to dance. Hanna attempts to do a backflip to impress Lucas, but accidently trips. Lucas, Glenn and Daryl help her up.

Hanna insists that she is fine, and is still capable of dancing. Lucas tells her next time that she wants to impress him, just stick with regular dancing. Hanna agrees with this, and they resume dancing. Glenn and Daryl decide that they should join in the fun. As the foursome dance, Santa arrives at the dance floor and finds them. As he approaches, a girl stops him and tries to seductively dance with him. Santa initially plays along, but declares the girl “naughty” and stabs her in the back several times, killing her.

The partygoers hear the girl’s screams and look at Santa. Exposed, Santa removes his hoodie and reveals himself. Daryl and Glenn are confused on what is happening until Santa gets closer. Santa tells Glenn and Daryl that “Wren Kingston sends his regards” He throws his hatchet into Daryl’s shoulder. He screams out, but manages to rip out the hatchet. Santa grabs Glenn and puts a knife to his throat. Daryl yells at Santa to leave him alone. Santa tells Daryl that the survivors have been “naughty” and that Shane and Daryl are at the top of his list.

When Daryl asks Santa if he is Ghostface #3, Santa explains that he is the new accomplice of Ghostface #3, whom they should just call Ghostface now. Santa says that he’s worse than Noah or Wren ever were in season 1, and he’s going to make everyone pay for what they did to Wren. Glenn attempts to break free, but cannot do so. Santa explains that he was hoping that Maggie would die of her shooting, but since she will not, Santa wants to leave a “gift” when she wakes up, a reminder that her life is a total hell (Santa’s main targets are the people who were present for Wren’s death).

To this end, Santa slices Glenn’s throat in front of Daryl, Lucas and Hanna. Everyone screams. Glenn Rhee, boyfriend of Maggie Greene and survivor, is dead. Daryl is pissed off that his best friend is dead. He punches Santa in the face multiple times with his good arm. Santa throws Daryl against the floor. A crowd forms around Daryl and Santa, watching them fight. They appear evenly matched, throwing punches and kicks. The bouncer from the front door hears the commotion. When he tries to break up the fight, Santa stabs him in the head and kills him.

With them out of the way, Santa picks up his hatchet and swings it at Daryl, who dodges the swipes. Lucas attempts to help Daryl, but gets his arm slashed as a result. Hanna grabs Lucas and keeps him from intervening again out of fear he will be killed. Santa and Daryl continue to fight until they hear a police car coming. Santa tells Daryl that they will meet again. He slams Daryl’s head against a table and knocks him out. Santa runs through the crowd and swings his hatchet around. As he does, Lucas is hit in the head by the blunt side of Santa’s hatchet and knocked out. Santa runs out.

Afterward, Daryl and Lucas sit in the ambulance, about to be taken to the hospital for their wounds. Hanna is coming with them, especially for Lucas. Daryl asks Hanna to correct him if he is wrong on this question, and tells Hanna to confirm whether or not Santa said he was doing this for Wren Kingston. Hanna confirms this. Daryl says that it’s official: the murders are happening again. The ambulance drives away from the scene, while Glenn’s body is being taken away. Smash to black.

Episode 3: An Unexpected Helper
We open on the hospital, where Lucas and Daryl are resting. Daryl has more serious injuries, though Lucas’ are minor and he will recover quickly. Hanna brings in Beth, Michonne, Hershel, Carl and Maggie, who has finished recovering. Beth hugs Daryl, who tells her that she will be alright. Maggie asks Daryl and Lucas if Glenn was in the club with them. They confirm this, and Maggie asks where she is, as she is eager to reunite with him. Daryl and Lucas are silent, trying to get the strength to tell her. Maggie frowns because of their silence and asks them again where Glenn is.

Daryl and Lucas are looking each other in sadness, and it’s starting to sink in to everyone. Maggie demands to know where Glenn is. Finally, Daryl speaks up and reveals to her that Glenn is dead. Maggie looks him and shakes her head in denial. Lucas says that she’s sorry, but they saw it. Maggie slams her fist against the wall and falls to knees. She starts crying. Hershel and Beth hug Maggie and bring her home. Carl, Hanna and Michonne remain with Lucas and Daryl.

Containing her sadness, Michonne asks Daryl and Lucas if Glenn’s killer was Ghostface #3. Lucas explains that the killer was dressed in a black Santa costume, and they confessed to being Ghostface’s new accomplice. Carl sarcastically says that’s just great, and a seasonal psychopath is just what they need. Hanna says that this is bad, not just because of Ghostface and Santa, but now there is also a gunman out there. Lucas says that they can handle it, but Hanna is more nervous. Just then, someone else comes in.

This person is Mika Gottesman, Lucas’ younger sister who came over to check on Lucas. She looks small and cute, like most people at her age. Mike hugs Lucas, who introduces her to Michonne, Carl and Daryl. Mika tells Lucas that he has some “tall and tough” friends around him. Lucas says that he knows. We cut to the Greene house, where Maggie is still crying in her room. Hershel and Beth are still beside her. Maggie says that first she gets shot, and now her boyfriend dies before they can even reunite.

She admits to her family that she had feelings for him and doesn’t feels helpless and lost without Glenn. Beth assures Maggie that she is not alone, and she and Hershel will always be here for her. Maggie smiles. She admits that when Beth joined her family from the sanatorium, she wasn’t really sure about having a sibling. However, as time went on, Beth become the most treasured person Maggie ever had, even more than Glenn. They share a sisterly hug, and Hershel joins in as well.

We cut to the police station, where Abraham and Shane are sitting in Shane’s office, talking about the massacre at the club. Abraham asks Shane if he believes this is Ghostface #3. Shane says that it must be, and now they not only have Ghostface and the Gunman to worry about, but an evil Santa as well, which is any kid’s worst nightmare. Abraham tells Shane that they have officially finished identifying all of the victims’ bodies, and he’s not like who one of them is: Glenn Rhee. Recognizing that name, Shane is fuming now.

He realizes that all of the survivors are going to be targeted, even those that did not participate in Wren’s death, which also means Carl. Abraham says that if it makes Shane feel better, he can tell him about something good that happened to him last night. Shane says that he’ll take anything he can get. Abraham tells him about his date with Rosita, and flashes back to after the date, with him dropping off Rosita at her house. Rosita says she had a really good time that night. Abraham says he did too. He asks if they could do it again sometime.

Rosita says she would really like that. Abraham takes her hand. They look at each other. They kiss. Rosita smiles. She says she'll see him later. Abraham tells her goodnight, and Rosita walks into her house. Back in present day, Shane gives his congratulations before getting back to the situation at hand. He tells Abraham that they need to catch the killers before it all turns to hell like five months ago, or even worse. Abraham asks Shane if he’s “thinking what I’m thinking” Shane asserts that the killers are not “him” Abraham tells Shane to at least think about it, and this could be really serious, and make sense.

We cut to the Peletier house, where Carl is heading to. He’s decided to tell Carol and Sophia about how he got interested in Sophia. When he goes inside, he notices that Sophia is tied up to a chair and gagged. Carol is hanging from the ceiling fan upside down and is also gagged. Sensing the sensor, Carl rips the duct tape off of Sophia’s mouth and asks what is going on. Sophia screams at Carl to go, and it’s a trap. Just then, Ghostface, who is in the Pumpkin Ghostface costume, comes out. He runs at Carl and tackles him. Carl throws a few punches, but it’s clear that Pumpkin is stronger, taller and faster than him.

He throws Carl against a wall and wears him down. After he is finished toying with Carl, Pumpkin tells him that he is way smarter than he was three months ago. Carl tells Pumpkin to leave Sophia and Carol alone, as well as everyone else. Pumpkin says that everyone’s fates were sealed when Wren came to him for help in season 1, meaning that Pumpkin was the last killer to be recruited. He admits that he didn’t have any personal grudges in season 1, but he does now, and Pumpkin will make all of the survivors suffer.

Pumpkin pulls out a sword. Carl attempts to attack him again, but stops when he threatens to slit Carol’s throat. Pumpkin tells Carl and Sophia that he remembers what Wren did to Judith, and like her, they are helpless and weak, and always will be. Pumpkin swings the sword across Carol’s waist, which cuts her in half. Sophia and Carl scream, with Sophia screaming louder. The upper half of Carol is still hanging from the ceiling fan. Carol Peletier, mother of Sophia Peletier, is dead.

Sophia screams at Pumpkin to burn in hell. Pumpkin tells Sophia that she’ll burn first, and decides to light her on fire somehow. Carl flips out. He throws a vase at Pumpkin’s head, but he ducks. Carl attempts to punch Pumpkin, but he grabs his fist and twists his wrist. Carl screams out. Pumpkin says that there is nobody to protect him now. Just then, another voice says “except for me” Pumpkin spins around to find the gunman, who is pointing his gun at Pumpkin. He tells him to let Carl and Sophia go.

Pumpkin expresses amusement at what the gunman is doing, and wonders if he really is a cold blooded murderer. The gunman tells Pumpkin that his prediction are mostly right. Just then, he notices Carol’s bisected corpse, and becomes enraged. The gunman attempts to shoot Pumpkin, but finds that the gun is empty; he used all the bullets in the shootout with the two cops earlier. Pumpkin asks the gunman why he cares so much about Carl, Sophia and Carol. In response, the gunman rips off his mask, revealing him as…

ED PALMER. Carl recognizes him as a guidance counselor and mutters “Mr. Palmer?” Sophia shakes her head and calls him “dad?” Pumpkin and Carl are surprised by Sophia’s statement. Pumpkin picks up his sword and points it at Sophia’s throat. Ed screams at Pumpkin to leave her alone. Pumpkin says he will if Ed explains himself. Ed admits that he was Carol’s ex-husband and the gunman that shot Maggie. Ed explains that he was abusive and drunk toward Carol, which led to their divorce about 13 years earlier.

For the next 13 years, Ed had lived a life of his own, and changed his last name to Palmer. He became a pretty bad person after that and frequently got himself in trouble with the law. Eventually, Ed found himself becoming bankrupt and he needed money, which lead to the robbery at Pop’s dinner. After shooting Maggie and killing two cops, Ed’s guilt finally began to get to him, over actually killing people, which he had never really done before. Ed then decided that he had to cover up his identity, but his guilt got in the way.

Eventually, Ed had decided that there wasn’t much point going on, and he would get a life sentence for murder and attempted murder. To get a quick end, he was preparing to commit suicide when he heard the screams coming from the house, and decided to go investigate. Ed recognized Sophia’s voice despite how long it’s been since he last heard her and decided to come help, which leads to what is happening right now. Pumpkin admits that Ed has a pretty impressive backstory, which he admits is likely even better than his motives.

Pumpkin tells Ed that he’ll make a deal with him: if he lets himself be killed, he’ll allow Carl and Sophia to leave unharmed. After some consideration, Ed accepts the deal. He walks up to Pumpkin, who impales him with the sword. Ed Palmer, the gunman, and ex-husband of Carol Peletier, is dead. While this is happening, Carl takes Sophia, who is crying for her parents, out of the house with him. Pumpkin watches them go, but honors his deal and doesn’t chase them. Fade to black.

Episode 4: Knock Knock
We open on nighttime at the Peletier house, where Shane and Abraham are on the scene with Carl and Sophia, who sees her parent’s bodies being taken out. She cries again, and Carl hugs her again. Shane is angry that the killer is making another one of Carl’s crushes suffer. Shane tells Abraham that he is sick of just standing around while all of this happens. Abraham reminds Shane that they are trying their best, but Shane counters that there have been eleven deaths, which already close to the body count of last time.

Abraham tries to cheer Shane up by pointing out that the gunman has been taken care of. Shane says that’s true, but it also brought misery, pointing out Sophia and Carl. Abraham tells Shane that he can’t be so hard on himself. Shane tells Abraham that his best friend and his baby daughter were murdered, and there was nothing he could do about it last time, and who knows could happen this time. He walks off. Afterward, Rosita walks up to Abraham. She asks him for an interview.

He says that they’ll answer a few of her questions, and tells her about what happened. They get into a kiss, which Abraham breaks off because he is busy with the crime scene. Rosita tells him to come by her place tomorrow if he feels like it. Abraham says he’ll be there, and Rosita walks off. Shane and Carl take Sophia to their home. Sophia admits that she doesn’t want to go home, as she doesn’t want to be alone and be at the place where her parents were just murdered. Carl offers to let Sophia stay at their house.

Sophia is surprised that Carl would let her do that. Shane admits that he knows how it feels to lose people and would be happy to let her stay as long as she needs. Sophia accepts the offer, and Shane shows her the guest bedroom. Sophia goes on the bed and requests to be alone, which Shane and Carl allow. Afterward, Shane tells Carl that he knows why he was interested on Sophia, because she resembles Judith. Carl admits that Sophia’s innocent look, combined with her losses, reminds him of Judith.

Carl tells Shane that he hopes there are no more secrets being kept from him. Shane confirms that Sophia has no biological relation with Carl, and insists that there are no more secrets. He walks away. The next morning, we cut to the Redfield graveyard. The Greene family are there to help Maggie say goodbye to Glenn, since she never got to see him again before her shooting. They go up to Glenn’s gravestone, and Maggie kneels before it. She tells Glenn about how happy she was to be with him.

Maggie admits to Glenn that she really did love him, and they had so much fun together. She tells him that part of the reason why she remained clinging to life after getting shot was because of him. Maggie admits how much joy she felt at the thought of reuniting with Glenn, and warmth and joy from the hug that would happen. Now, there is no hug, and he’s gone forever. Maggie takes out some flowers and puts them on Glenn’s gravestone, and tells Glenn that she loves him. Maggie can’t take it anymore and breaks down.

Hershel and Beth hug her. Beth thinks to herself how fucked Santa will be when Maggie gets her hands on him, or if she does. We cut to school, where Michonne is sitting at lunch with Hanna, and a recovering Lucas and Daryl. Daryl still has some bandages on his shoulder from his hatchet wound. Hanna tells Daryl and Michonne that she is sorry about Glenn. Daryl says that they need to take down these bastards before they kill anyone else. Lucas admits that he is not a horror expert, and asks if Daryl is.

Daryl admits that he usually doesn’t watch too many horror movies, but he’ll become the new nerd if the group requires it, asking if Lucas or Hanna could be one. Hanna and Lucas say that they could give some knowledge up on how to survive. Michonne decides to go to the bathroom before they start. After she finishes up, Michonne is approached by Nina and Chanel. Nina plays nice and tells Michonne she has pretty hair. Michonne thanks the girls, who ask for her to join their group. Michonne thinks about it and realizes who she is talking it, and declines. Chanel calls Michonne an “idiot hooker” for refusing.

She and Nina walk away. Chanel tells Nina that they cannot let Michonne get away with rejecting them, right to their faces nevertheless. Nina says that they’ll have their revenge soon enough. Michonne goes back to the lunch table and, shrugging off the encounter, asks Lucas and Hanna about their horror knowledge. Lucas says that they are “newbies”, which Hanna admits she hasn’t watched too many horror movies. They decide to do a marathon of them tonight and come back with some rules. Daryl says that he really appreciates this. Hanna and Lucas say that it’s no problem.

We cut to Michonne’s home, where Pop is. He is making some hot dogs as a surprise meal for Michonne when she gets home, as hot dogs are her favorite food. After he finishes making the hot dogs, the house phone rings. He answers it to hear Santa’s voice, who tells Pop that he’s been very naughty. A confused Pop asks Santa what he is talking about. Santa puts Pop in his naughty list because he is being too good of a father. Realizing who this is, Pop tells Santa that he’s way naughtier than him. Santa counters that he is on the top of the good list, since he’s the one killing everyone who he deems naughty.

It’s evident at this point that Santa’s version of naughty in this case, means how nice people are. Pop tells Santa that this is not how the real Santa Claus actually works. Santa says that Pop talked back to him, so now he’s on the top of the naughty list, meaning that he is scheduled for “immediate termination” and hangs up. As Pop realizes the danger, Ghostface, who is wearing the Rhino costume, jumps out. He grabs Pop and slams his head against the grill, which is still on, and burns his face.

Rhino sarcastically asks Pop, who is screaming, if he is feeling uncomfortable. When Pop tries to get to the sink and use the water to extinguish himself, Rhino pulls him back and tells him to give fire a chance. Pop’s face is still burning, and Rhino leaves the room. He comes back with garden shears and notices that Pop is still alive. Rhino wraps the shears around Pop’s neck and beheads him. Pop Williams, father of Michonne Williams and husband of Sasha Williams, is dead. Rhino then looks out the window and sees Michonne coming home from school. He waits for her to come in, hoping to ambush her.

As Michonne approaches her home, two hooded figures approach her from behind and hit her over the head with a bat, knocking her out. Rhino is surprised and confused to see this until he notices that the figures are Chanel and Nina. As they drag Michonne off, Rhino decides to let them have their fun with Michonne, and she will have to find her father’s corpse later. He sends a text to Santa, and tells him that there has been a change of plans. He tells him to choose another survivor to torture, since Michonne just got kidnapped by someone else. As Santa begins to tell Rhino about his backup plan, we cut to black.

Episode 5: Battle of the Bitches
We open on nighttime at the abandoned hospital, where three people are chained to the wall. These are revealed to be Shane, Carl and Sophia, whom have been kidnapped by Santa, who is waiting for them to wake up. Eventually, they do. Shane remembers this place from when Judith died and demands to be let go. Santa tells Shane to shut up unless he wants Carl and Sophia to be raped. Shane shuts his mouth. Santa says that is much better, and tells everyone they are going to play a game. Carl and Sophia ask if the game is called “Let us go”

Santa says that the game is pretty much the opposite of that, and they are going to determine who is “naughty” Santa says that he has his reasons to suspect all three of them, but there is one person who is the naughtiest of all of them, and that one knows exactly why. Sophia asks Santa what he is talking about. Santa says that they’ll see, when it’s time that is. Before leaving, Santa tells them that chaining his victims to walls is way more securing then tying them to chairs, since rope can be untied.

As he is saying this, we cut to the barn where Judith was raped at. Nina and Chanel are dragging the still unconscious Michonne in and tying her hands to a chair, but not her legs. They get impatient while waiting for Michonne wake up, so Chanel slaps Michonne several times to wake her up, which she does. Michonne asks Nina and Chanel what the fuck they think they’re doing. Nina tells Michonne that they are getting revenge on her turning down her offer to join her group. Michonne asks Nina and Chanel if they are crazy, stating that just because somebody doesn't want to be friends with a person, doesn't mean that person has the right to abduct somebody.

Nina tells Michonne to get fuck herself, before telling Chanel that she gets the first turn. Chanel smiles, and takes out a taser. She starts shocking Michonne repeatedly, causing her to scream in agony. Nina calls Michonne’s screams “music to my ears” and tells Chanel that they should do this more often. Chanel agrees and laughs, before asking Nina if she wants to have some fun too. Nina says it will be her pleasure. She puts on some brass knuckles on her fist. Nina repeatedly punches Michonne in the face, and she gets bloody and bruised. Nina and Chanel laugh at the beaten Michonne, and it quickly becomes clear the two are psychotic.

Nina asks Chanel what they should do for the next level of torture. Chanel takes out some pliers, and suggests that they start yanking out Michonne’s teeth, one by one. Nina says that is an awesome idea, and Chanel has earned a kiss. Nina kisses Chanel on the lips, causing her to scream in delight. Nina walks over to Michonne to start yanking out her teeth. As she prepares to, we cut back to the abandoned hospital, where Santa comes back to Sophia, Carl and Shane. Santa tells Shane that it’s time to have some fun and walks up to Carl.

Shane yells at Santa that “We had a deal!” Carl and Sophia are confused by this. Santa tells Shane that he’ll leave Carl alone if Shane tells him about the deal. Shane explains that after Wren’s shooting, he knew Ghostface #3 was still out there, but he could not find any leads. He got a phone call from Santa, who threatened to kill Carl, who was still on the retreat at that time, when he got back. Santa and Shane eventually made a deal. Shane had uncovered crucial information about the identity of one the killers, and agreed not to tell any of the survivors if the killers would leave Carl alone when they came back.

Sophia asks Santa why her parents were killed. Santa explains that Shane only said not to kill Carl, but that doesn’t mean target the people close to him, and it was a loophole in their agreement. Ghostface exploited this and killed Carol, and Ed because of their deal to free Sophia. Carl was never in real danger at episode 3, but Sophia was. Carl tells Shane that needs to know the information, but before he says anything, Santa tells Shane that it’s time for the final stage of their deal.

Before this happens, we cut back to the abandoned hospital, where Nina is about to yank out one of Michonne’s teeth. Nina tells Michonne that this is going to hurt. Just then, Michonne head-butts Nina, knocking the pliers away. While still tied to the chair, Michonne stands on her feet and kicks some boxes toward Chanel and Nina, knocking them back. Michonne slams the chair repeatedly against the back wall, trying to smash it and break free. It’s similar to Glenn’s fight scene in TWD 3x07. Michonne kicks Nina and Chanel in the groin when they charge toward her.

Eventually, Michonne manages to slam the chair enough to smash it and break free. A surprised Chanel asks Nina what they should do now. Nina tells Chanel that they can still beat her up, even though she’s free. Nina and Chanel fight Michonne, who, despite her injuries, proves herself to be a strong opponent. Eventually, Michonne pushes Nina against a wall. This causes her to hit a metal rod (rectangular-shaped at the end and hollow), along the cervical spine, which breaks her neck and leaves a cut on the back of it. It’s very similar to Charlotte’s accidental death in PLL. Nina Patterson is dead.

Michonne is shocked by what she has done, as it was completely unintentional. Chanel is more horrified than Michonne is and checks Nina’s pulse, but finds nothing. After confirming Nina’s death, Chanel screams at Michonne that she did this. Michonne tries to explain that it was an accident, but Chanel will not listen and starts slashing at her with a knife, completely intent on killing her. Michonne kicks the knife out of her hand, but Chanel still doesn’t give up. After realizing that Chanel isn’t going to calm down, Michonne defends herself.

She spin-kicks Chanel across the face. Chanel kicks Michonne in the groin and attempts to punch her in the face, but fails when Michonne grabs her fist. Chanel scratches her face with the fingernails on her other hand. Michonne screams out. Chanel tries to strangle Michonne, bashing her head against the wall, but she knees her in the groin and smacks her. Chanel and Michonne throw some punches. After realizing that she is outmatched in hand to hand combat, Chanel grabs her knife and swings it at Michonne again.

Michonne grabs her wrist to stop Chanel, who bites her arm, but Michonne still doesn’t let go. Chanel repeatedly smacks Michonne’s face with her other hand while driving to stab her, but Michonne overpowers her. Despite Chanel starting to sink her fingernails into Michonne’s face again, Michonne drives the knife into her heart. Chanel Oberlin is dead. Michonne looks down at Nina and Chanel’s corpses, and lets out a loud victory scream. She then collapses on the ground to rest. We cut back to the abandoned high school, where Santa is about to begin the final part of Shane’s deal.

Santa tells Shane that one of them is not going to leave the abandoned hospital alive, and this time, Shane gets to choose who it is. Shane immediately picks himself, which Santa accepts. He tells Shane that if he mentions the information to Carl and Sophia as he dies, then nobody is leaving this room alive. Carl tells Shane not to do it. Shane tells Carl that he’s sorry, but he won’t let Rick down. He tells him to survive with Sophia. Santa tells Shane that he’s been saving a very special tactic for the shooter of Wren Kingston, and Shane is at the very top of his naughty list for that.

Santa takes out a chainsaw and approaches Shane. He asks for some last words. Shane tells Santa that he’s going to regret this. Santa says that he doubts that highly. He turns on the chainsaw and slices Shane up. Blood starts spraying all over the room as Santa saws Shane open. Carl and Sophia scream in horror as the blood splatters all over them. Eventually, Santa finishes and Shane is an utter mess. Santa says that this may have been his best work yet. Shane Walsh, 2nd Sheriff of Redfield, father of Judith Walsh and best friend of Rick Grimes, is dead. Smash to black.

Episode 6: The Legacy of Wren
We open on the next morning, where police are all over the barn, except for Abraham, who is at the abandoned hospital dealing with Shane’s death. Michonne is explaining to a cop that she killed Nina and Michonne in self-defense. Since her wounds match the description of how she was tortured, the cop decides that she is telling the truth, while the bodies of Nina and Chanel are taken away. Michonne asks if there is anything else, as she really wants to go back home now. The cop asks Michonne if she lives in a blue house on 12 Beach Street. Michonne confirms this, and asks how he knows.

The cop tells Michonne about how a body was found there, and a name tag that near the body proved it was Pop Williams. Michonne sinks to her knees and stares in shock. Before we see her break down, we cut to the Walsh house, where Carl and Sophia come in. The two are completely silent after witnessing Shane’s death, and have only each other left. They go into Carl’s bedroom and sit on his bed, still silent. After staring off into the wall, Sophia finally asks Carl if he’s ok. Carl glares at Sophia, who understands that he’s not.

After some more silence, Sophia tells Carl that he can’t be helped if he doesn’t speak. Carl yells at Sophia that maybe doesn’t want to be helped, and maybe he just can’t take this anymore. He rants that his father is dead, his mother is dead, his half-sister, who he loved in all way possible, is dead, and now his step-father is dead. Carl tells the worst part about all of this is how weak he is. A 15 year old like him couldn’t do anything to stop the deaths of his whole family, and now he has nobody left. Sophia asks Carl if he really does have nobody left, then why is she still standing right next to him.

Carl asks Sophia what she means. Sophia tells Carl that she felt hopeless after the deaths of her parents, but two things kept her going. The first is her father’s selfless sacrifice, and the other is Carl, who has been through even more than she has. Sophia asks Carl if he has nobody left, then why is he still with her. Carl admits that he first started dating Sophia because of her resemblance to Judith, who was a cute innocent girl with blond hair. Sophia tells Carl that no matter what happens, she’ll always be with him.

Realizing that there is still someone left who loves him, Carl hugs Sophia and cries on her shoulder. Sophia pats him on the back. We cut to the Greene home, where Maggie and Beth are talking alone about Glenn. Maggie tells Beth that she’s done mourning and wants to put an end to this. Beth agrees and asks what Maggie has in mind. Maggie explains that she wants to stop Ghostface before he hurts anyone else she loves, and intends to search the abandoned hospital for clues tonight alone. Beth tells Maggie she isn’t going alone.

Maggie tells Beth that it’s bad enough that she lost Annette and Glenn, but she’s not losing her. Beth tells Maggie that she would never leave her, and she simply cannot let her go alone. She threatens to tell Hershel, who will undoubtingly lock Maggie in her room, if she doesn’t let her go with her. Maggie reluctantly agrees to let Beth go. As they talk, Hershel is making lunch downstairs. As he prepares lunch, the house phone rings and he answers it. Santa, who is on the other end, tells Hershel he’s “naughty”

Hershel tells Santa that he is a father who takes care of both of his tormented daughters, who deserve way better lives than they are getting right now, and asks how that is naughty. As with Pop, Santa tells Hershel that he is being too nice, which makes him naughty. Hershel tells him to leave his family alone and hangs up before Santa can continue. Just then, Santa bursts through a window and jumps into the kitchen. Hershel is shocked and tries to grab a knife, but Santa grabs him.

Maggie and Beth hear the window shattering and rush down to the kitchen to investigate, finding Hershel being held hostage. Santa tells Maggie to handcuff Beth to pipes in the basement, and threatens to kill Hershel if she does not. Despite Hershel’s pleas for them to let him die so that they can escape, Beth has handcuff her to the pipes. Santa lets Hershel go and has him cuff Maggie at knifepoint, then cuffs Hershel himself. Santa tells Maggie, Hershel and Beth that it’s time for the naughtiest family in the world to get what they deserve.

We cut to Michonne’s home, where she has just come back. She rings the doorbell, hoping Pop will appear and pull off some sort of miracle. When he doesn’t, Michonne goes inside and stands alone. She goes into her room and takes out a photo of her parents and herself smiling. Michonne asks Pop and Sasha why they couldn’t just stay. She goes back downstairs and takes out a knife. After getting into a bathtub, Michonne considers slitting her wrists and committing suicide. She tries to do this, but cannot summon the will to do so. Michonne throws the knife away and sits in the bathtub.

At Hanna’s home, someone comes up to the front door. We can’t tell who this is because we only see this person through their POV. The person knocks on the door, and Ashley Martin, Hanna’s mother, answers the door. Before she can say anything, the person slits her throat, which reveals that this is one of the killers, but without their costume on. The killer then goes inside the house, walks upstairs, and knocks on the door to Hanna’s room. Hanna answers the door and recognizes who the killer is. She asks what they are doing here and why they have a knife.

The killer responds by stabbing the knife into Hanna’s heart. Hanna gasps. The killer stabs her again in the heart, and she does not gasp this time. Hanna Marin is dead. The killer then sends a text to someone that informs them he has killed Hanna and her mother. The other person texts back that he did good work. It can be assumed from the text that this is the surprise accomplice, and the partner is Ghostface. Back at the Greene house, Santa is talking to the restrained Maggie, Beth and Hershel.

He tells them that it’s time to feel the wrath of Santa. Maggie demands to know why Santa is doing this. Santa tells them that this is all for one person, and they know who that is. Beth asks if this is for Wren, which Santa confirms. Hershel tells Santa that Wren was an absolute monster who raped young girls. Santa says that Wren is the best serial killer ever, and his motives were pretty good. Beth reminds him that he was stalking a girl who was 10 year younger than him, and asks how he could possibly think that this a good motive. Santa tells Beth that if she wants answers, then she’ll get them. Santa rips off his mask.

Santa Ghostface is the NOT DEAD WREN KINGSTON. Hershel, Maggie and Beth stare in shock and horror. Wren starts clapping and yells “Surprise, bitches” before bursting into laughter. Beth screams that she saw Wren getting shot in the heart at the dock, and he is long dead. Wren tells Beth that she has underestimated him for the last time, and lifts up his shirt, revealing a bulletproof vest, Rick Grimes’ bulletproof vest to be exact. Wren reveals that he took the vest after killing Rick and wore it at the dock. Once everyone left, Wren fished himself out of the river and escaped.

After that, Wren contacted Ghostface to let him know that he was still alive, and the two plotted to resume the killing spree in revenge. Wren explains that Ghostface was a dumbass who didn’t really know much in season 1, but he trained him to become far better, and he became impressed by their progress. Wren has been going after those involved in his shooting, putting Shane at the top of his list for firing the bullet, and finish the work he helped start in season 1.

Wren explains that he needed to find a way to cover up that he was still alive and called Shane around the time of season 2. Shane had known that Wren’s corpse was never found, but he didn’t want to scare the survivors and there was no reason to assume that Wren was still alive anyway. Wren threatened to kill Carl unless he kept the fact that his body was never found a mystery, which is why Shane never told anyone. He confesses to the murders of everyone in the club, including Glenn, and Shane. Upon hearing that he killed Glenn, Maggie attempts to grab him, but can’t reach far enough.

Wren walks closer to her hand to taunt her. Maggie tells Wren to let her out of this, unless he’s too scared to fight a girl. Wren laughs and assures her that she cannot goad him into a fight, and he has a better idea anyway. He is going to be reunited with one of his biggest desires: rape. Wren tells Hershel that he is going to rape one of his daughters, and orders him to choose one of them. The Greene family is horrified at this. Wren tells Hershel that if he doesn’t pick one, he’ll rape them both. As Hershel struggles to make a choice, we cut to black.

Episode 7: Green Blood
Picking up where the last episode left off, Wren continues telling Hershel to make a decision of which one of his daughters will be raped by him, or he rapes them both. Hershel is unable to choose, and cries at the thought of it. Maggie tells Hershel to pick her to save Beth from having to go through that. Hershel tells Maggie she has suffered enough, referring to Glenn’s death and does not deserve to be raped. Maggie insists that Wren pick her, but Beth also volunteers herself.

Wren starts counting down from 10-1 to make Hershel’s decision faster. When Wren reaches 2, Hershel finally makes a decision and chooses Maggie, who tells Hershel that he did the right thing. Wren approaches Maggie and asks if she ready for some fun. Maggie tells Wren to “Do whatever you're going to do, then go to hell” Wren scoffs at her defiance and tells her that she’s no fun. He takes out a candlestick (I have no idea why you love these, Alex) to knock her out, so he can drag her to an operating table for the rape. However, Wren hits Beth over the head instead.

Maggie and Hershel demand to know what Wren is doing. Wren responds ‘Oh. Didn’t I say? I meant that the opposite of Hershel’s choice will have some fun with me” Maggie screams at Wren to take her instead. He ignores her and Hershel, and drags the unconscious Beth upstairs. We cut to when she wakes up, strapped to an operating table. Wren is sitting next to her. He tells Beth, who he starts calling “Lizzie” that his favorite things to do was be with her, and he’s missed it so much.

Beth asks Wren if he has completely lost his mind, and reminds him that her name is Beth. Wren replies that he knows that and isn’t stupid; he’s only calling Beth that because she looks a lot like Lizzie did at the time of her death. Wren asks “Lizzie” if she’s ready to have some fun. Beth tells Wren that if he does this, Daryl is going make sure he dies a slow and painful death. Wren tells “Lizzie” that he can handle Daryl, and he’s weak. He then climbs on top of Beth and begins to rape her.

Beth tries to contain the pain and avoid screaming, so that Maggie and Hershel don’t hear her suffering. Wren tells Beth to scream so that they can hear it, or he’ll rape Maggie too. Unwilling to let that happen, Beth lets her pain out, and begins to cry and scream, which Maggie and Hershel hear since the basement door is wide open. Hershel is distraught that his younger and adoptive daughter is suffering like this. Maggie screams up through the basement stairs at Wren to stop. Hearing Maggie’s protests, Wren stops raping Beth and goes downstairs.

There, he walks up to Maggie and asks what she will do to him if he doesn’t stop raping Beth. Maggie threatens to kill Wren, who tells her that she hates defiant bitches. Wren takes out a spoon and walks up to Hershel. He asks if she has ever heard of the show “Fear the Walking Dead” Maggie says that she hates that show. Wren admits that he does to, but it did have some very good ideas, and Season 3 gave him a great one on how to have some fun. He sticks the spoon into Hershel’s left eye socket, taking his eye out. Maggie screams as this happens.

Wren admires the spoon stuck in Hershel’s eye and smiles, before ripping it out. Blood starts pouring out of Hershel’s now empty left eye socket. Hershel screams in agony before eventually passing out of blood loss. Wren then leaves the room with Hershel’s eye, telling Maggie to behave before he takes out her eyes too. He goes back to Beth, who asks Wren what he did down there and is horrified when Wren shows her the eye. Wren tells Beth that their time together is coming to its climax and it’s time for more torture, with this part being disgusting, even for him.

He puts the eye on a chair near Beth and frees one of her arms. Wren tells her to put the eye in her mouth, or he chops off her left hand, as retribution for his fingers that were shot off by Shane last season. Beth refuses, which prompts Wren to chop off her left pinky finger to make his point. With no other choice, Beth puts her father’s severed left eye in her mouth. Wren makes her keep it in there for two minutes. After time is up, Beth vomits the eye out, which makes Wren pleased. Beth asks Wren how he could be so cruel.

In response to Beth’s question, Wren lifts his sleeve, which reveals a “T” tattoo. Beth asks what the fuck is that supposed to mean. Wren tells her he is a part of something beautiful, some people that he never thought would be around. The “T” is a symbol of membership. He asks Beth if she really thinks that he can do all of this on his own. Beth asks who his friends are. Wren tells Beth that is a secret, but he’ll give her a hint: his friends have always worked behind the scenes, and have not performed a single kill (meaning this is not the surprise accomplice. Wren then decides that he’s getting bored and that he wants to resume raping Beth, which he does.

Outside, Daryl arrives at the front door to check on how Maggie and the family are dealing with the loss of Glenn, and to tell them about what has happened to Shane and Michonne. He also has his crossbow with him, intending to teach Beth how to use it if she wants. Daryl is suspicious to find the front door unlocked and goes inside. He hears Wren raping Beth and goes to investigate. Daryl sees an unaware Wren raping his girlfriend and loses it, not even wondering how he is still alive or using his crossbow. He runs up and jumps on top of the older man, who throws him to the ground.

Daryl tells Wren that he should have stayed dead at the docks. Wren tells Daryl that he should have made sure he was dead and takes out his gun, which he had retrieved from the river last season. Daryl picks up his crossbow and fires at Wren, hitting him in the shoulder. Wren, although injured, shoots back at Daryl, forcing him to take cover. After ripping the arrow out of his shoulder, Wren tells Daryl that he got a lucky shot. He holds his gun out and looks for Daryl around the house.

Daryl shoots Wren in the side from the top of the stairs, but he is able to shoot back, hitting Daryl, who is running away, in the back. He screams out, but refuses to stay down. After ripping out the arrow, Wren stumbles up the stairs after Daryl, but he is getting weaker from the arrow wounds. He goes into a bedroom after Daryl, who pushes him into a closet and locks him inside. Wren fires several shots through the door, one of them hitting Daryl in the shoulder. An injured Daryl climbs down the stairs and back to Beth. As Wren tries to break down the door, Daryl frees Beth, who is traumatized by her torture.

Daryl tells Beth that she needs to wake up and help. When Beth does not respond, Daryl kisses her on the lips, which gets her energetic again. Wren breaks down the door and heads back downstairs. Beth takes a frying pan, and they wait for Wren to come back down. Wren tells Daryl that this is getting old and that he should come out and die already. Beth responds “How about you die already?” Beth hits Wren in the face with the frying pan. Wren attempts to shoot Beth, but fails when Daryl shoots him in the back first.

Daryl puts the equally injured Wren into a headlock, and Beth puts the gun to his forehead. Wren tells Beth that she will never be rid of him, and his friends will make sure they are reunited in death. Beth tells Wren that she has always been underestimating her and it’s time that he finds out what happens when he messes with the Greene family. Beth picks up the spoon and sticks it into Wren’s left eye, as revenge for Hershel’s eye gouging. Beth successfully manages to pull out Wren’s left eyeball. Wren is in complete agony. Daryl is sort of disgusted, but not really, mostly because Wren killed Merle.

Beth and Daryl then pick up kitchen knives and begin stabbing, slashing, bashing, anything, you name it, at Wren, finally getting revenge. They eventually stop. Wren Kingston, Beth’s psychiatrist, Santaface and Ghostface #2, survivor, and rapist, is dead, this time FOR REAL. Beth then goes downstairs into the basement, while Daryl calls the police. Beth tells Maggie that Wren is dead and frees her from the handcuffs. They share a sisterly hug before tending to the still unconscious Hershel. Cut to black.

Episode 8: New Meat
We open on the next morning at the hospital. Maggie is with Beth, who is getting her finger stump bandaged by a doctor. The doctor tells them that they manages to get the bullets out of Daryl, and he will recover, but Hershel’s left eye will not be growing back and he is blind in that eye. Maggie and Beth are sadden by this, but glad that they will at least remain alive. They ask if they can see Hershel and Daryl. The doctor says Hershel is sleeping, but they can see Daryl. They go into his room.

Maggie and Beth hug Daryl. Beth thanks him for saving her from Wren. Daryl says that he would do it again if he had too, no questions asked. Beth kisses his forehead and asks if next time he saves her, he doesn’t get shot in the process. Daryl decides that is a good idea and asks how Hershel is doing. Maggie tells him about how his eye got pulled out by a spoon. Maggie asks if he made Wren suffer for that. Beth and Daryl assure her that Wren got what he deserved, and Ghostface has worse coming to him.

Maggie says that she’s looking forward to it and gives a “Get Well” card to Hershel to the doctor for when he wakes up. The doctor says that it’s no problem. She and Beth leave. We cut to the police station, where Abraham is taking over the investigation as sheriff. He is relived that Wren has been caught and that the murder spree is one step closer to being over, but knows that Ghostface is still out there. As he fills out some files on the desk, Rosita comes up and asks if she can have another interview.

Abraham tells her that Santa was the thought to be deceased Wren Kingston, and now he is dead for real. Rosita says that this is going to make a really good story when she’s done here. She asks Abraham if, now that 2 of the killers are dead, she can come over to his house tonight for some time together. Abraham says that would sound lovely. Rosita walks off. We cut to Lucas’s home, where he is sulking over Hanna’s death. Mika is beside him and asks what’s wrong. Lucas tells her that very bad things have been happening recently, things that he does not like at all.

Mika asks if this is why he was in the hospital yesterday. Lucas tells Mika that he doesn’t want to talk about, as he doesn’t want a girl around Mika’s age to know about murder and misery. He instead says that he and Hanna are “breaking up” and he won’t be seeing her again. Mika says that she’s sorry to hear that. Lucas tells Mika that when she grows up to be his age, she’ll get to be with the boy she loves, without a doubt. Mika smiles and says she’s excited. Lucas says that he is too. At Michonne’s house, she is sitting on the couch alone when she gets a knock on the door.

She opens it to find Carl and Sophia, and lets them in. Michonne asks what they are doing here. Carl and Sophia tell Michonne that they are sorry about Pop’s death, and say that they have had common tragedies. Michonne admits that this is true, though she would like it if they didn’t. Sophia tells Michonne that she’s sick of sitting on the sidelines and doing nothing while her friends are being murdered one by one. Carl agrees. Michonne asks if they want help with taking down Ghostface.

Carl and Sophia confirm this. Michonne decides that she would be more than glad to help, and asks how they should track him down. Carl suggests that they visit the abandoned hospital tomorrow tonight for some clues, and if they encounter the killer, then they can get their revenge. Michonne and Sophia agree with the plan. Sometime later, Ghostface and the surprise accomplice, who is also wearing the movie Ghostface costume, meet up in the abandoned hospital. They are talking about Wren’s death.

The accomplice tells Ghostface that with their leader dead for real (Wren took over as leader after revealing to Ghostface he was still alive), they’re in trouble now. Ghostface refuses to back down, and resolves to continue killing and avenge Wren. The accomplice reminds Ghostface that Wren was their main muscle as well as the leader, and asks what they are going to do without him. Ghostface says that they can’t let the survivors think that they’ve won, and they need to do something that will make them fear him again.

He asks the accomplice for an idea, and says that it has to be a good one. After some thinking, the accomplice thinks of something. Before we see what it is, we cut to Abraham’s home, where he is waiting for Rosita. Soon enough, she arrives and knocks on Jim’s door. He answers and lets her in. They go upstairs and into Abraham’s bedroom. Rosita tells Abraham that she has a “surprise” for him. After turning around, Abraham tells Rosita that “You have a big mouth, let’s see what else you’ve got”

After around 45 seconds, Rosita tells Abraham to turn around, which he does. Rosita is now wearing only her bra and panties. She asks Abraham if he is impressed. Abraham comes to up to Rosita and kisses her. They go onto the bed and begin to have sex. Once the two are fully focused on it, Ghostface, who is revealed to be hiding under the bed, comes out. Abraham and Rosita are completely unaware of his presence. As they have sex, a sword goes through the back of Abraham’s head and out the front. Abraham Ford, 3rd Sheriff of Redfield and boyfriend of Rosita Espinosa, is dead.

Abraham’s blood splatters on Rosita’s face as the blade goes through, which barely misses her face. Rosita screams. She tries to get up, but is slowed down by Abraham’s heavy body, allowing Ghostface to stab the sword into her mouth. Rosita Espinosa, reporter and girlfriend of Abraham Ford, is dead. Ghostface takes some photos of their corpses and sends it to his partner, along with a text message that says “Looks like these two just got Sworded” Smash to black.

Episode 9: The Cop Killers
We open on the police station, where the officers are working. Since it’s around nighttime, the station isn’t as populated. Outside, Ghostface, who is wearing the regular costume, and the accomplice are hiding in some bushes, carrying the corpses of Abraham and Rosita. The accomplice is having a hard time dragging Abraham and asks Ghostface to help him. Ghostface responds that “That’s your problem. Not mine” The two sneak inside the police station through a back door, with the accomplice being slow with Abraham’s corpse.

Ghostface puts Rosita’s corpse in place, hides underneath a desk, and signals for the accomplice to hurry up. The accomplice tells Ghostface he really should have helped him. Just then, an officer comes up and sees the accomplice dragging Abraham’s corpse. He pulls his gun and orders him to put his hands up. An annoyed Ghostface emerges from hiding and stabs the cop in the head, killing him. Four officers hear the commotion and go into investigate. Ghostface grabs his accomplice and pulls him into hiding.

The four officers come in and see the three corpses. As they stare in shock, Ghostface pops out. He grabs one officer and uses him as a shield when the other three officers shoot at him, killing the cop instead. The accomplice also pops out and picks up a gun. He shoots one officer in the head and another in the throat. Ghostface throws his human shield at the final officer, causing him to fall. Ghostface takes out a power drill. He stabs it into the officer’s throat, killing him and causing blood to go all over Ghostface’s mask.

Ghostface tells the accomplice that their work is done here and he had a great idea. The accomplice says that it’s amazing that they actually pulled it off and he didn’t actually think they could do it. Ghostface asks what he means. The accomplice admits that raiding the police station was a joke, and he was sure they would get caught when Ghostface agreed to it. Just then, Ghostface pulls out a gun toward the accomplice’s direction. The accomplice asks what the fuck Ghostface is doing. He pulls the trigger.

The bullet hits another cop, who was about to shoot the accomplice from behind, in the head, killing him. Ghostface tells the accomplice that he owes him for that, and they flee the station before any more officers come. We cut to the next morning, all of the teen characters (Carl, Sophia, Lucas, Michonne, Beth, Maggie and Daryl) are meeting up in a park bench. They are talking about the massacre last night at the police station. Lucas says that these killers are way more dangerous that they thought.

Daryl admits that he never actually thought that Ghostface could actually assault a police station head on, and this was no doubt their way of making them spooked out. Carl says that they need to stop this before any more innocent lives are lost. Beth says that they need to be prepared when Ghostface comes for them, and not to charge recklessly into danger. Remembering her plan for tonight, Michonne pretends to agree, as do Carl and Sophia. Lucas notices a look on Michonne’s face when she says that she agrees, but doesn’t mention it.

Beth asks Lucas about the time when he and Hanna went to watch horror movies and come up with rules. Lucas says that he forgot about that after Hanna died, but they went through with it before that happened. Lucas tells everyone that they are not in a typical horror movie, but a TV series, as this is a long and drawn out murder spree, and horror movies usually last about one night. Lucas gives everyone 9 rules.

1. As the series goes on, the risk of final girls and boys dying gets higher.

2. Whatever you do, don’t be stupid. If you think you're in danger, you probably are.

3. The killers will search for ideas throughout the whole internet, which means fanfiction writers will inspire some of their kills.

4. As the series goes on, the killers will become smarter and more durable.

5. Always suspect 2 people: The obvious suspect and the least likely suspect.

6. The killer will go great measures to hide their identity, including allowing accomplices to injure them.

7. The killer’s motive can be very unpredictable, perhaps a direct copy of another’s.

8. Sometime you need to invent new rules while saving yourself and your loved ones.

9. Following these rules do not guarantee your survival, nobody is safe.

Beth tells Lucas that those are some pretty great rules, though they don’t have any suspects. Maggie asks Lucas if he can think of any. Lucas says that he also thought of that, and the least likely suspects are everyone in the Greene family, as those are the killer’s main targets, and they were just tortured by Wren. He says that the most likely suspect is him, as he’s pretty much the only one at this table who has never encountered one of the killers before.

Carl assures Lucas that they do not think he is the killer, but should he actually be the killer, they will make sure his death is painful. Lucas says that is noted, and if he was the killer, he’d probably back out of revealing himself to spare himself “the ending wrath of my friends” They laugh together. We cut to sometime later at the hospital. Hershel is in his room with bandages around his empty eye socket. Hershel tells his doctor that he’s always loved pirates when he was a kid, and it will be fun to wear an eye patch.

The doctor tells Hershel that he has more humor than his patients usually do. Hershel asks for his name, to which the doctor reveals is “Fred. Fred Andrews” (from Riverdale). Fred then tells Hershel that his daughters are here to see him if he is feeling comfortable enough. Hershel tells him to let them in, which he does. Fred leaves the room to let Hershel have some alone time with his daughters, who hug him. Maggie tells Hershel that she is so sorry that she made Wren gouge out his eye. Hershel says that she should be the one apologizing, about Beth’s rape.

Beth assures him that wasn’t his fault, and Wren was just evil. Hershel thanks Beth for her understanding, and says that he is glad to have her as her daughter, despite everything that has happened. He asks Beth if she has a pirate eye patch at home, as he wants be a “pirate daddy” The Greene family laugh at the joke. We cut to around nighttime at the abandoned hospital, where Carl, Sophia and Michonne are arriving, all armed with knives. Michonne asks Carl and Sophia if they are sure they want to do this. Carl and Sophia insist that they do. Michonne tells them to stay behind her.

As they prepare to go inside, a male tells them that they are not going without him. Lucas comes up to the trio. Sophia asks what she is doing her. Lucas explains that she saw the look on Michonne’s face and deduced that she was planning to go after the killer tonight. To avenge Hanna’s death, Lucas has decided to come help. They agree to let him come, and the foursome go inside. After a few moments of looking, Ghostface, who is wearing the Brandonface costume, comes out and confronts them.

Carl and Sophia go to attack Brandonface, but he throws the smaller kids over his shoulder and they land hard on the ground. Lucas is next to attack Brandonface and throw a punch at him, which he dodges. Brandonface slams Lucas’ head against a table and throws him against a wall. Lucas is unconscious. Michonne tells Brandonface that he’s stronger than she thought he would be. Brandonface says that he is way different than he was back in season 1, when he was really stupid, but he’s smarter now. Michonne tells him to prove it. She slashes at him with her knife. Brandonface elbows her in the face.

Carl and Sophia begin to get back up, but Brandonface kicks them both in the face, and they go back down. Brandonface and Michonne hit and kick at each other, dodging some. Brandonface smashes Michonne’s head against the wall, which, unlike Lucas, does not stop her. Michonne runs at Brandonface and kicks him in the face. He tumbles backwards, but does not fall over. Brandonface head-butts Michonne and tackles her to the ground. He wraps his hands around her throat. Michonne eventually passes out. Brandonface admits to himself that he didn’t actually think he was going to beat all four of them. He runs off. Cut to black.

Episode 10: Madness Approaches
We open on outside abandoned hospital, where Michonne, Carl, Sophia and Lucas are outside. Lucas is being taken away for his stab wound, while the others are resting from their wounds. As they do, Beth, Maggie and Daryl pull up. They say that they can as soon as they hard. Michonne tells them about how experienced and tough Ghostface was in the battle. Maggie says that this killer might even be more brutal than Wren was. Daryl agrees and says that they might need to find an “alternative solution”

Sophia asks what he means. Daryl suggests that if Ghostface is so tough to fight head on, then maybe they could figure out his identity first, then confront him together, that way he has nowhere to run too. Carl says that could be a pretty good idea. Daryl tells everyone to meet him at his house tomorrow with their theories. We cut to the next morning, when everyone (except for Hershel and Lucas, who are still at the hospital) is at Daryl’s house.

Daryl says that since Lucas is absent, they are going to have to become horror experts on their own, and asks if anyone might have a suspect. Beth says that they should start by thinning out the people that have never encountered Ghostface before, even those in this room. Daryl agrees, but cannot think of someone that has never encountered Ghostface. Everyone recalls a time when they have encountered Ghostface, so it’s hard to make a suspect. Beth says that she has a crazy idea.

Sophia says that they’ll take anything she’s got at this point. Beth wonders if Ghostface could have faked their death. When Carl disagrees, Beth points out that Wren managed to fool them for five months into thinking he was dead. Carl realizes that she has a point, but asks who could fake their death if that was the case. Maggie thinks and decides that it most likely someone from season 1, but isn’t sure who exactly. Daryl says that they should all take some time about it, and meet back up tomorrow.

We cut to the hospital, where Hershel and Lucas are recovering and are about to be released, though. Hershel asks Lucas if he has a pirate eye patch on him. Lucas says that he doesn’t, and tells Hershel that he’s sorry about his eye. Hershel says that it’s ok, as he likes being a pirate anyway. Lucas admits that Mika is also a fan of pirates, and she thinks eye patches are cute. Hershel is escorted to the lobby by Fred, where Maggie and Beth are waiting with an eye patch. They put it over Hershel’s empty eye socket.

Hershel does a Jack Sparrow imitation and asks his daughters if he looks like the best pirate in the seven seas. Maggie and Beth say that Jack Sparrow pales in comparison to him. They laugh. Maggie drives Beth and Hershel home, as she doesn’t want to risk Hershel driving and crashing with only one eye, while Lucas goes home by himself. We cut to the abandoned hospital, where the accomplice is waiting for Ghostface to show up. Just then, he gets a call from Ghostface. The accomplice asks Ghostface why he made him walk all the way over here, just to call him instead.

Ghostface says that it was intended to be funny, and he has to make sure nobody gets suspicious. The accomplice says that he also has other things in life to take care of then just working for Ghostface. Ghostface tells him to behave, as they are almost done anyway. The accomplice asks what they should do now. Ghostface tells him that the finale is coming tonight, and tells him to kidnap “you know who” so that they can lure Beth into the final showdown. The accomplice reminds Ghostface that he will not be present at the final showdown.

Ghostface says that he remembers that, and he doesn’t need his help anyway. When the accomplice asks who to kidnap, Ghostface asks “Who do you think?” The accomplice gets it and tells him that he’s gonna go have lunch before kidnapping anyone. Ghostface says, stating that he would go kill Carl and Sophia, but he could really use some lunch right now. He asks the accomplice if he knows a good place to get pizza from. The accomplice says Papa Ginos is a great place. Ghostface says he’ll think about it and hangs up. The accomplice leaves the building.

We open on the Greene family and Daryl in Beth’s house. They are eating lunch together, pizza to be exact. Beth tells Maggie that ordering from Papa Ginos was a great choice to celebrate Hershel's recovery. Maggie admits that pizza is one of her favorite foods. As they eat, Daryl gets a text on his phone from the accomplice, which says “If you want to stop me early, come outside and lets have chat” Daryl tells Beth that he has to go to the bathroom and leaves to confront the accomplice, who he thinks is Ghostface, as nobody is aware there is another killer.

When he goes outside, Daryl looks around. Just then, he is shot with a tranquilizer gun and falls unconscious. The accomplice tells Daryl that he is not stupid enough to fight someone like him head-on, and goes inside to deal with the Greene family. As he approaches, Beth sees him and tackles Maggie to the ground, and they go under a table. Hershel is tranquilized before Beth can save him. The accomplice tells Beth and Maggie that they can make this way easier for him and come out.

When they do not, the accomplice lies on the ground and shoots at the final girls. He hits and tranquilizes Maggie, but Beth rolls out of the way and goes back a corner. The accomplice goes past the corner in pursuit and is tackled, losing reach for the tranquilizer gun. Beth begins punching and hitting him on the ground. The accomplice reaches for a frying pan and smacks Beth. She falls off of him. The accomplice hits her with the pan three more times. Beth is unconscious. The accomplice says that his work is just about done here. Smash to black.

Episode 11: Ghostface’s Secret
We cut to when Beth wakes up. She looks around the house for any sign of Maggie, Hershel or the killer, but finds nothing. Beth, however, does find Daryl also waking up outside, and helps him get up. Daryl tells her that the bastard told him to come outside for a fight, and he “cheated” with the tranquilizer gun. Beth tells him that she can’t find Maggie or Hershel anywhere. She then gets a call, and they already know who it is and put it on speaker.

Ghostface congratulates Beth and Daryl for making it this far. Pretending to be the accomplice, he says that he’s sorry for cheating, but he’s not taking any risks before the final showdown. Beth tells Ghostface to stop being a coward and let Hershel and Maggie go. Ghostface says that he isn’t going to let them go, but maybe Beth and Daryl can. Daryl asks what he means. Ghostface explains that it’s time to unveil his secret. He tells her to meet him at the hospital in an hour. He says that Beth can bring no weapons, but Daryl is allowed to accompany her, just him.

Ghostface says that if she's early, everybody dies. He also says that if she's late, everybody dies. He also adds that Beth will not see this reveal coming. Beth accepts the challenge and tells Ghostface that he is going to die tonight. Ghostface laughs and hangs up. Daryl recommends that Beth use the hour to train for the fight using the punching bag, the same one in his house from last season. Beth agrees with the proposal. At Daryl’s house, Beth is using the punching bag. He urges her to do a high kick, which she does.

Beth repeatedly punches the bag with all her strength. She does a low punch and then a high punch. She finishes off by doing a spin kick. Daryl smiles at Beth and tells her that she is an even bigger badass than him at this point. Beth checks her watch and says that they should get going to the abandoned hospital, and they leave in Daryl’s car. When the duo arrive, Daryl and Beth get ready to enter. After slipping off her shoes, Beth approaches Daryl and tells him that she wants to say something before they go in.

Beth admits that Daryl is a badass kid, the one that she loves. She admits that before they met, Beth wasn’t sure if she was going to fall in love with anyone, but Daryl is the exact man she wanted. Beth tells Daryl “I love you” Daryl, touched to hear those words, replies “I love you too, Beth” Daryl and Beth lean in and kiss, before heading inside to confront Ghostface. After around two minutes of searching, they find Maggie. She’s bloodied up, taped to a chair, with tape over her mouth. She appears to be holding back tears, as if in pain.

Daryl runs up to Maggie proceeds to free her. Maggie thanks her and they hug. Suddenly, Daryl screams out in pain. We find that – MAGGIE HAS STABBED DARYL IN THE HEART. Daryl looks up at her friend, who tells Daryl that she is not sorry and shoves him toward a horrified Beth. Beth holds Daryl in her arms. Daryl is dying. Daryl looks into Beth’s eyes and tells again he loves her. Daryl Dixon, survivor, brother of Merle Dixon, and girlfriend of Beth Greene, is dead. Beth cries over the death of her lover.

Maggie giggles as she wipes off the FAKE BLOOD, revealing that she was never beaten and has been the Ghostface killer all along. Maggie tells Beth that this has been fun from the start. Beth says that this is absolutely impossible and Maggie would never do something like this. Maggie tells Beth that “You don’t know me at all, you never did, and neither did Hershel. Oh! Speaking of whom…” Maggie moves to a closet, opening the door, and drags Hershel out. Beth cries out for her father, but Maggie points the knife at her foster sister to keep her at bay.

Hershel is horrified to find that her biological daughter is behind this, and asks how she could do this to her family. Maggie says that she doesn’t care about her family, and there’s only person in the world she truly loves: Wren Kingston. Beth asks what the fuck Maggie is talking about. Maggie admits that when she was introduced to Wren, she became in love with him, despite their huge age difference. Maggie tried to seduce Wren, and he told her the only way to prove herself worthy of him was to help him.

To this end, Maggie joined the killing spree as Ghostface #3, but was very dumb at first, which did not impress Wren at all. Maggie was increasingly desperate to prove herself to him, but it became evident that Wren did not love her back, and she was only using her for his own ends, but Maggie could not accept this. After Wren’s shooting, Wren taught her how to get better at serial killing, not wanting to resume the murders alone. Hershel asks her about the shooting at the bar. Maggie confirms that Ed had nothing to do with her, and she was shot completely by chance.

This forced her to get her surprise accomplice to take over. Maggie explains that the surprise accomplice was always dressed in the Ghostface costume, and had to take over for Maggie whenever she was too busy for any reason. Maggie refuses to reveal their identity, as the accomplice made a deal with her not to spill the beans at her reveal scene. Maggie admits that she would have killed Glenn, who she faked loving, if she wasn’t in the hospital. Hershel asks if she ever cared about her family, including Annette.

Maggie laughs and confirms that she does not love, Hershel, Beth, Annette, or even Glenn, but just Wren. After Beth and Daryl killed Wren for real, Maggie vowed to end the killing spree with the deaths of Hershel, Beth and Daryl as revenge. Beth is utterly devastated and heartbroken at the reveal of her sister, but Hershel is even worse, knowing that the girl he raised never loved him as a father. Maggie then tells Hershel that it’s time for him to die now. Hershel tries to tell her daughter that they can get her help.

Maggie tells Hershel that he’s weak, and he was never capable of giving her help. She also admits that she purposely yelled at Wren to make it look like she was horrified when Hershel’s eye was gouged out. Maggie moves behind Hershel to execute him. Beth screams and begs her sister to stop. Hershel looks into his the eyes of his other daughter, his good daughter, the one whose live he saved and raised to become a survivor. He closes his eyes, holding back tears.

And with that, Maggie shoves the knife into the back of her daddy’s neck. The blade pops out in the front of Hershel’s throat. Hershel Greene, father of Maggie and Beth Greene, husband of Annette Greene, is dead. Beth screams out “NO!” Maggie smiles and laughs at the sight of her adoptive sister in devastation. She’s enjoying the pain that she has caused her. Maggie tells Beth that has been so much fun, but this has been her favorite part, by far, is this finale. Beth tells Maggie that she is insane.

Maggie thanks Beth for stating the obvious, and sarcastically claims that this is such news to her. She asks Beth what she’s going to do now that she has nobody left to protect her. Beth looks up at her sister with pure anger and hatred. Maggie has betrayed Beth, murdered her friends, her boyfriend, and her father, all without regret. And with that, Beth charges at Maggie and knocks the knife out of her hands. Maggie smacks Beth, who is barely effected. The sisters stare at each other in the eyes, and IT IS ON!

Maggie punches Beth in the jaw and spin kicks her across the face. She asks Beth if this is really all she can do. In response, Beth tackles Maggie to the ground and punches her in the face three times, but then gets thrown off of her. They get up. Maggie congratulates Beth for knowing how to fight, but says that she is better. Maggie takes off her shoes and goes for another spin kick, but Beth ducks. Beth tells Maggie that she notices that she likes spin kicks, before spin kicking her in the chest and face.

Maggie calls Beth a “stupid cunt”, before picking up her knife and trying to stab her. Beth picks up a scalpel from a nearby operating table and swings at Beth. Beth and Maggie cut each other’s arms, deeply, but no actual stabs. Beth leg sweeps Maggie, knocking her down, and stabs her in the stomach. Maggie screams, but pulls Beth down with her. Maggie attempts to kick Beth in the face, she grabs Maggie’s leg and bites it, which makes her bleed, before punching her in the stomach.

They get up, and their fight to the death takes them near a small flight of stairs. Seeing an opportunity, Beth tackles Maggie down the stairs, and Maggie appears to be unconscious now. Beth grabs the knife and goes to stab Maggie, but she grabs her knife (having only pretending to be unconscious) and stabs her in the chest. Beth shrieks out in pain and falls to the floor. Maggie begins strangling Beth and asks how it feels to defeated and helpless.

Beth calls Maggie a “fucking prick” Maggie laughs and says “You think?”, before telling Beth that it’s time for her to die. As she says this, Beth slowly and secretly reaches for Maggie’s knife. Before Maggie can finishing strangling Beth, she stabs her twice in the side with the scalpel. Maggie shrieks. Beth gets on top of her and begins repeatedly stabbing Maggie in the chest, sealing her fate. However, as Maggie is killed, she repeatedly stabs her knife into Beth’s back, fighting back at the same time. After four stabs to the chest, Maggie stops fighting back.

Maggie Greene, lover of Wren Kingston, foster sister of Beth Greene, daughter of Annette and Hershel Greene, and the Ghostface killer, is dead. Beth then collapses to the floor of her numerous stab wounds. Seeing that she is bleeding profusely, Beth looks up and closes her eyes, accepting her fate. Eventually, Beth goes limp and dies. Beth Greene/Liddell, final girl of two stories, biological daughter of Arthur and Molly Liddell, girlfriend of Daryl Dixon, adoptive sister of Maggie Greene, and foster daughter of Hershel and Annette Greene, is dead. The screen slowly zooms away from the corpses of the dead final girls.

We cut to three months later after the end of the killing spree. Michonne, Carl and Sophia are packing up their belongings and preparing to move out of Refield for a fresh start. Lucas was going to come, but he wanted to stay in Redfield with Mika, whom he has promised to tell about the events of the killing spree once she is 18. Carl and Sophia load boxes of their stuff into the back of a van, before saying they actually feel like they might miss this place. Michonne says they can visit some time. Carl decides that they should someday to reunite with Lucas and Mika, but not anytime soon.

The trio get into the van, say goodbye to Redfield and drive off into the sunset. At Lucas’ home, Mika is getting ready for Lucas to change into a special costume for her, which she finds funny. Lucas, who is only present by his voice, asks Mika why she likes this costume so much, since he hates it and is about to throw it in the trash. Mika says that she just likes the color black. Lucas comes out, wearing the GHOSTFACE COSTUME. Mika giggles and claps. Lucas sighs and asks if Mika is happy now.

Mika asks Lucas why he hates the costume so much. Lucas responds with “I’ve done some things with this, very bad things. I don’t want to talk about it” He then goes outside and heads for a trash can. As he does, we cut to a flashback of Hanna’s death. Hanna is opening the door for her the surprise accomplice. This time, however, we can fully see who it is – LUCAS GOTTESMAN. Lucas proceeds to stab Hanna to death. We cut back to present day. Lucas throws the costume in the trash can and covers it up with the lid. After he leaves, an eight year old kid comes up to the trash can.

The kid opens the trash can and takes out the Ghostface costume, before bringing it to an old adult that is watching. The kid calls the adult, “grandpa” and gives him the costume. We can see the name of the adult on his name tag: “Tarvender President Coriolanus Snow” The grandson asks Snow if he can claim the title “Jyle Venedict” now. Snow tells his grandson, whose name is revealed to be Donovan Snow, that he is too young, but he will make a great Tarvender when he gets older. One day, Donovan will get to wear Lucas’ costume and become Jyle Venedict, like he has always wanted. Cut to Black.
