Detailed Summary
The episode begins two days after the attacks with Stacy and her friends in Ms. Baker's psychology class discussing personality and memory disorders. Stacy takes note of Lisa and Dexter's absence. When class ends, Tanner comes up from behind Stacy and kisses her, much to Garrett and Madison's jealousy. Stacy and Tanner agree to meet each other after school. Moments later, Stacy enters the cafeteria and her phone rings. She answers it and hears the words, "Hello, Stacy." Confused, Stacy asked who was on the other line and is abhorred to be told it was her attacker. Ghostface informs Stacy that he kidnapped Lisa and is going to kill her unless Stacy plays a scavenger hunt to save her. He tells her the first clue is hidden underneath her usual seat in the cafeteria. Stacy then receives a live video feed of Lisa hung upside down in an undisclosed location. The call ends and she goes to her usual table, meeting Penny. Stacy decides to inform her of what Ghostface is doing. Penny wants to help her best friend. Stacy picks up the clue which tells her to head home before school ends, meaning she would have the cut her remaining classes and ditch Tanner. The duo manage to sneak out but Eric sees them and follows their car.

Detectives Rockwell and Rivera are at the police station, trying to figure out why Ghostface committed two attacks last night. While doing so, they discuss their pasts. Rockwell was abused by his parents and was often starved. When a home burglar killed the two of them, he was partially happy and sad. Rivera had an easy life but was raped when she was only thirteen. Rockwell consoled her and held her close as they continued their investigation which included waiting for forensics to find out whose blood was on the glass shard Dexter used to stab the killer.

Sheriff Delaney walks into the Mayor's office while she's on the phone. He demands to know why he was taken off the case. Ashley put the caller on hold, expressed her frustration, and commented how he was always like this when he was angry. Delaney said he wanted their relationship to work but admitted his anger got to the better of him. Ashley felt unsafe during their relationship and wanted to leave before she was going to be physically and verbally abused. After stating that Delaney would compromise the murder investigation due to his anger issues, Ashley demanded him to leave before she issues a restraining order against him. Delaney storms off in a rage. Once he's gone, Ashley continues her call and wants to meet with the person, who is revealed to be Principal Smith.

Stacy enters her home with Penny by her side and finds out again that her dad isn't home. They search the place and find a locked box in Stacy's bedroom. Penny receives a call on her phone, startling the two girls. Penny notices it's from an unknown caller but still answers it on speakerphone. Ghostface laughs and tells them the location of Lisa is inside the box. Stacy demanded the killer where Lisa is, but Ghostface angrily says they need to search Ingrid Hamilton's flower shop. The two rush to the shop right away with Eric observing them from afar.

Back at the school, Dylan asked Tanner where Penny was, but he didn't know. Concerned, Tanner asked why. Dylan admitted he has a crush on her and knew he would be dead if Garrett found out. Tanner says he wishes he knew and wished him luck. Dylan walks down the first floor hallway and hears Garrett and Madison. He hides in a locker and overhears their conversation. Garrett used his hacking skills to track his sister's phone and sees that she's at the flower shop. He wants to quickly go and bring her back to school with Madison in tow. They leave and Dylan decides to follow them.

Meanwhile, Harry is at the lighthouse on the other side of town, waiting for someone. He gets a text to look behind him and he does, looking at Sam Landry. The two speak about investigating the killing spree for their reasons. Sam wanted to profit from this story while Harry wanted to protect his daughter. The two shake hands on attempting to unmask Ghostface so their goal can be achieved. At the same time, the Mayor and Principal Smith meet at a cafe. They talk about something that happened in New Jersey. Elizabeth said she didn't mean to do it, but Ashley didn't think it justified what she did. Elizabeth gave the Mayor a yellow package with money inside. Ashley expresses her sly thanks before taking off.

Stacy and Penny make it to the flower shop and have a hearty chat with Ingrid. Stacy looks around for the key while Penny distracts Ingrid. After thirty seconds of searching, Stacy couldn't find the key anywhere. Ingrid noticed Stacy's snooping and asked why she was looking around. Stacy stutters a bit, but Ingrid happily asks if "this key in this envelope" was hers. Stacy said yes and took it. Ingrid said she found it in one of her plants this morning and told the kids to head back to school before they were late. The two dashed to Penny's car and opened the box, revealing Lisa's location to be at the beach. Ingrid then receives a call on her landline phone. Ghostface tells her to keep her mouth shut about everything or she'll end up dead. Ingrid looks outside her shop blinds in horror.

Garrett and Madison drive to the flower shop with Dylan hiding in the trunk. However, they notice the tracker is going to the beach, so they make a quick detour. Stacy and Penny make it to the beach but can't find Lisa anywhere. Stacy receives another call from the killer, who says there's a cave nearby. Stacy and Penny activate the flashlights on their phones and enter the dark, damp cave. Moments later, Garrett and Madison arrive to see Penny's car. They follow the footprints leading to the cave. Dylan gets out of the trunk and does the same, but almost chickens out.

Stacy and Penny slowly investigate the cave and see medical supplies, along with a bloody circular saw blade. A foul stench nearly makes the girls vomit, but they track the scent to the chopped up remains of Sawyer Owens. The girls scream, attracting Garrett, Madison, and Dylan's attention. Soon after, the five come together and are horrified. They try to run but the entrance out of the cave is sealed. Not only that but lights above come on, revealing the cave to be Ghostface's lair. He speaks over a microphone that the five are all going to die because now, Ghostface is on a scavenger hunt to kill the teenagers.

Garrett arms himself with the circular saw blade. Madison thinks it's a mistake doing that. Stacy hears Lisa's cries and follows her sound. Penny, Madison, and Dylan follow with Garrett taking his time to think what to do. Choosing to follow the four, he makes his choice too late as Ghostface comes out from behind a pillar and yanks him into his grasp. The four finally locate Lisa in a room and tie her down. Stacy is told by Lisa that she didn't want to be saved, wishing to die. Stacy thought she was talking nonsense and wanted to find an alternate way out of the lair. Garrett screams for help, prompting Madison and Penny to immediately run out of the room to find him. The two are disgusted to be near each other but tolerate each other enough to find a back exit out of the lair. Stacy tries to dial 911 but there's no signal. Dylan stays with Lisa as Stacy goes outside. Penny shouts she's found an exit, alerting Ghostface. This causes Stacy to be only ten feet away from the killer, with a table separating them. Stacy tries to run left and right but Ghostface mirrors her movements while holding a sword in his hands. He lunges at Stacy with the sword but she dodges and climbs to the other side of the table, with Ghostface chasing her. Garrett comes out of nowhere and tackles Ghostface to the ground. The two struggle but Garrett shouts at Stacy to run. She obeys, leaving the two to fight.

Stacy reunites with Penny and Madison who find a boarded up exit. Garrett calmly walks towards the girls until he collapses. Ghostface jumps from behind him and pins him to the wall with two buck knives in the shoulders. Garrett yells in pain as Penny begs the killer not to kill him. Stacy and Madison use their energy to try to break the boards. Ghostface grabs the sword then begins hacking Garrett by his right shoulder to his left hip. He hacks away at Garrett, who screams until his body falls in two pieces. Penny screams in pure terror and sadness. Ghostface runs at the girls, who at the last second manage to break the exit open. Stacy grabs Penny as the three jump out of the cave and onto land. The three girls run as Ghostface chases them. He manages to slice Penny's leg open which causes her to fall down, dragging Stacy down as well while Madison keeps running for her life. Ghostface prepares to deliver a final blow on Penny who screams, but Dylan jumps on Ghostface's back. Stacy grabs Penny and runs after Madison with all the energy she has left. Ghostface gets Dylan off, who runs back into the cave. The killer pursues him while the three girls bump into Eric, who asks what's wrong. He goes into the cave upon hearing the killer attacked them. Eric finds the corpses of Garrett and Sawyer. He tries to open the room Lisa's in, but it's been barricaded. He shoves it open and Dylan uses the circular saw blade to attack Eric, thinking he's Ghostface. Luckily, Eric wasn't harmed. He sees Lisa, lying in despair. Eric quickly notices something behind Dylan and pushes him out of the way. Ghostface plunges his knife into Eric's chest, horrifying Dylan. He shouts at Lisa to follow him but she stays. Dylan runs out of the lair. Eric falls to the ground with blood surrounding his body. Ghostface looks at him before taking off.

Rockwell and Rivera are continuing their work in the station until they receive a distressing phone call from Madison. The two detectives rush to the beach and find the two corpses as well as the unconscious body of Eric and shocked state of Lisa. They corner off the lair as a crime scene and call ambulances for Penny and Eric.

Night falls over Rocky Pines as Stacy attempts to comfort Madison. She blames Stacy for Garrett's murder and slaps her to the ground before storming off. Sheriff Delaney arrives on the scene but is stopped by Rivera. The sheriff only wanted to help as much as he could. Rivera allows Delaney to help. He sees Stacy and questions her. Delaney heard about Eric's condition and said that despite their relationship being strained due to an incident two years prior, he hoped Eric would be alright. Stacy asks him what incident, but Delaney doesn't want to mention it. Harry and Sam arrive on the beach. Sam takes photos of what's currently on the beach, prompting Rockwell to demand his camera. Sam swiftly pulls out his SD card and gives up his camera. Harry runs and hugs his daughter. Delaney leaves to speak to Sam about what he's doing with Harry, intriguing Rockwell, but he says nothing and walks away. Soon after, Tanner arrives too and runs to Stacy. The two hug and kiss, revealing to Harry that her daughter has a boyfriend. Stacy wanted to visit her best friend and Eric at the hospital the next morning. Harry takes Stacy into his car to go home. That's when Ghostface calls her and says, "I'm not even halfway done this little game, Stacy! Tell anybody about our little game, especially your father, and I'll gut the next two people on my list!" Harry asks who was on the phone. Stacy says it was a wrong number. The two drive back home with Stacy hoping to put this horrendous day behind her.
