User blog:The Noah Killer/The Noah Killer's Scream 4: The New Generation

Plot and Setting
Taking place 10 years after the events of Scream 3, Sidney Prescott returns home to Woodsboro to visit her Cousin and Aunt, as well as to promote her book. Sidney realizes that she could not have come at a worse time; as soon as she does, Ghostface returns. However, it becomes clear that Ghostface has a new focus, and a new target. Who can be trusted, and who will die?

Character Descriptions (excluding minor ones)
SIDNEY PRESCOTT (30): Our main heroine from the original trilogy. Sidney has moved on with her life and has a fiancé, Hunter. She’s returned to Woodsboro to visit her family, only to see her nightmares resurfacing. Although not the lead anymore, she is determined to help the new kids, even if it costs her life.

DEWEY RILEY (38): The Sheriff of Woodsboro. It’s been great for him to have some peace, and his marriage with Gale has been working out. He is shocked when the murders reoccur. He tries to help, but will the survivor’s luck finally run out?

GALE WEATHERS-RILEY (42): The wife of Dewey Riley. Gale is still bitchy and as sharp-witted as ever. She’s gotten recent writer’s block, but the murders have ramped her up again, much to Dewey’s dismay.

JILL ROBERTS (18): Sidney’s little cousin. The perfect combination of brains and beauty. Jill is the new main lead of the story. She finds herself being the main target of Ghostface, and realizes that her family has been hiding some secrets from her.

KATE ROBERTS (42): Jill’s mother. She seems just like an ordinary woman, but in truth, she has been hiding some heartbreaking secrets, lying to her daughter more than once. She realizes that her secrets simply can’t stay hidden forever.

WALTER ROBERTS (18): Jill’s brother and Sidney’s other cousin. He’s the boyfriend of Marnie Cooper, and the unintentional love interest of Jenny Randall. His life begins to spiral downward when the killings begin, combined with Jenny’s increasingly impactful attempts to get him back.

JENNY RANDALL (19): Walter’s love interest. She’s basically a young Gale Weathers, bitchy and snarky. Walter unintentionally cheated on Marnie by getting drunk with Jenny. Shocked, he tried to withdraw from her, but Jenny can’t let go of him, and is willing to resort to cruel measures to get him back.

MARNIE COOPER (19): Walter’s girlfriend. Basically, your normal everyday girl. She’s nice around Walter, and the two have lived normal lives until today. Jenny’s efforts to get Walter back impacts her view of him, and also starts to become aware that her father is hiding something.

CHARLIE WALKER (18): Horror geek and cinema club co president with Robbie. Very much like his counterpart in the real Scream 4 (not to imply he is the killer). He has a minor crush on Jill, but is hesitant to romance the “angel of death 2.0”.

ROBBIE MERCER (18): Charlie’s best friend and fellow horror geek. He becomes very interested in the murders, as well as Charlie. They host the cinema club together, very much like his counterpart in the real Scream 4.

KIRBY REED (19): Jill’s best friend. She’s had a tragic life. Her father disappeared and was found dead when she was 15, and it drove it her mother so distraught that she committed suicide. She is being taken care of by her bigger brother, John, who has had military service. She’s been able to move on until the murders are committed.

JOHN REED (27): Kirby’s older brother. He’s helped Kirby grow up after their parents’ deaths. He’s also had military experience a couple years back. He’s determined not to let Ghostface touch his little sister, no matter what.

DEPUTY JUDY HICKS (33): An old classmate of Sidney, though she doesn’t remember her. Sarcastic, and has an unmatched love for baked goods. She tries to help Dewey solve the murders.

HAYLEY GREENE (36): A smart, yet well respected teacher. Teaches psychology in Woodsboro high school. Becomes a target for the killer when she becomes determined to unmask them, hoping to become famous.

LAWRENCE COOPER (35): Marnie’s father. He has a very dark secret, and has been keeping it hidden. When the murders come, Lawrence realizes that all he has worked to hide is in danger, and is determined to conceal it, no matter the cost.

TREVOR SHELDON (18): Jill’s ex-boyfriend. He’s basically your average jock, exactly like the Scream 4 counterpart. He recently cheated on Jill with Olivia, which lead to their breakup.

OLIVIA MORRIS (19): Trevor’s new girlfriend, and the girl he cheated on Jill with. Basically, your dumb and average kind of blond girl. Much like the real Scream 4.

DEPUTY ROSS HOSS (28): A new school cop, and partner of Perkins. Clumpsy and goofy, comparable to young deputy Dewey in the original Scream. The two try to do their jobs.

DEPUTY ANTHONY PERKINS (34): The more seasoned partner of Ross. Sarcastic and a bit annoying sometimes. The two try to do their jobs.

MOVIE GHOSTFACE (??): The mastermind of the murders. He is in charge of everything, and tells TV Ghostface what do to. Movie Ghostface will be revealed at the end.

TV GHOSTFACE (??): The muscle of the murders. He does the hard work and some of the murders, though Movie Ghostface helps. He will not be revealed until the sequel.

DARTH GHOSTFACE (??): The main antagonist of the whole trilogy. He has no relation to Movie or TV Ghostface, and works alone (as far as we know). His outfit is a combination of Darth Vader and Ghostface. His voice changer is augmented to sound like Ghostface, but Vader while breathing, making him VERY scary.

Episode 1: Pilot
A car pulls into the drive way of Trevor Sheldon’s home. In the car is Trevor and his girlfriend, Olivia. Trevor hasn’t told her yet about how he cheated on her with Jill. She found out about it and broke up with him last week. Olivia is staying for the night at Trevor’s, and they go upstairs to have sex. As they go outside, we cut to a figure outside. He’s hiding in the bushes, and is completely black. The figure begins walking toward the house.

After sex, Trevor goes to make something to eat while Olivia stays in bed and waits for him to come back. When he goes into the kitchen, Trevor notices that the window has been bashed open. He is about to call the police when he hears something. Trevor, thinking it is Robbie, shouts that this isn’t funny, and that he can’t fool him. He goes toward a closet, where the noise is coming from. Thinking Robbie is in it, Trevor opens the closet.

A pair of gloved hands grab Trevor and pull him inside. Panicked screams, struggling, and stabbing sounds are heard inside. It soon becomes clear that Trevor is dead. Back upstairs, Olivia is waiting for Trevor to come back, and of course, he doesn’t. Annoyed, she goes downstairs to look for him. Just then, her cell phone rings. Olivia picks it up and hears the killer. His voice sounds like Ghostface, but a bit of mechanical tone in it, like Darth Vader.

He asks her how she’s doing. Olivia says she’s fine. She becomes attracted to the caller, and decides to chat with him. They get friendly at first, and they talk about Rogue One, and the six season Scream TV Series (consisting of the MTV two seasons, and my four fanfics, which are completely fictional this time). The caller eventually becomes more sadistic though, and correctly guesses her location, and that she is in her bikini and bra.

Olivia gets nervous when the caller threatens to gut her. We hear Darth Vader’s breathing behind Olivia. She’s getting more nervous. Olivia tells him that Trevor will take care of him. The caller laughs and says he took care of that long ago, telling her to go to the closet. Behind her, we see a dark figure whoosh past her. The breathing gets even louder and closer. She runs to the closet, and opens it. It is then shown that Trevor has been gutted and disemboweled; his intestines are all over the closet. We hear Darth Vader’s breathing directly behind Olivia.

She is absolutely terrified at this point. She tries to run away when a hand grabs her throat. We finally see her attacker: Darth Ghostface. He is wearing Ghostface’s cloak as a cape. He has the classic Darth Vader suit on. There’s no hood, but he’s wearing the Vader helmet to cover his head, and his face has pale Ghost like mask on it. It’s different from both TV and Movie Series. Olivia screams, and kicks Darth Ghostface in the groin. He lets go of her. Olivia runs outside, but Darth Ghostface is relentless, clearly not messing around. He tackles her.

Olivia resists the best she can on the ground. She knocks his knife away, but he takes out his primary weapon. It is a tall sword, completely coated and red with Trevor’s blood. It’s similar to Darth Vader’s lightsaber. He calls it “Bloodsaber” and impales it right through Olivia’s abdomen. With her remaining strength, Olivia reaches for Darth Ghostface’s mask, and rips it off. She appears to be shocked by what she sees. She asks him “why?” Darth Ghostface responds “Jill Roberts” before Olivia succumbs to her injury. Olivia Morris is dead. Darth Ghostface takes out his phone, and calls someone.

We cut to the police station, and see Dewey on his desk. He looks pretty good for the past 10 years. Just then, he gets the call. Dewey answers, and becomes confused when Darth Ghostface speaks. Dewey soon recognizes the voice, and thinks it’s a prank. Darth Ghostface makes it clear that it’s not, and tells him that “the beginning of a new era has begun” before telling him to come to Trevor’s house and hanging up. Dewey’s eyes widen, and orders Judy to come with him. We flash cut to the next morning. We get introduced to Jill and Walter Roberts, as well as their mother, Kate Roberts. They have breakfast together.

Jill and Walter go off to school before Kate hears about the murders on the news, she is shocked. At school, we cut to Hayley’s, the psychology teacher, class. She talks about Sidney returning to Woodsboro. She says that the town should be honored to have her back. Jenny Randall jokingly suggests that there will be a new killing spree as soon as she gets back. Everyone laughs, even Hayley. Just then, the phone of Marnie Cooper, Walter’s girlfriend, rings. The news of the murders of Olivia Morris and Trevor Sheldon have been released. Everyone is shocked.

Robbie Mercer, as in the original Scream 4, asks everyone “What’s your favorite scary movie?” Everyone, except his best friend, Charlie Walker, then tells him to shut up. Embarrassed, Robbie looks down, but Charlie cheers him up. Meanwhile, at the Roberts’ residence, Kate gets a knock on her door. She sees Sidney Prescott, the old main heroine and niece, on the other side. They hug. Kate says it’s so nice to see her again. Sidney agrees.

Kate says that what happened last night shouldn’t be connected to them. Sidney asks what she is talking about. Kate shows her the news about the murders, and tells her that won’t be targeted again. Sidney is shocked. She says she needs to go talk to Dewey about this. She runs off. We cut to the crime scene at the Sheldon home. Dewey and one of his deputies, Judy Hicks, are on the scene. Dewey is clearly stunned that this is happening again after a decade. Judy says that they’ll find this bastard and bring him to justice, just like the last three times.

Dewey is more invigorated. Sidney arrives at the scene, but is blocked by Deputies Hoss and Perkins. Dewey sees her and orders them to let her pass. The two hug, they’ve clearly missed each other. He tells her about the call he got, though it sounded as much as Darth Vader as Ghostface. He’s going to call him “Darth Ghostface” Sidney wonders if she is being targeted again. Dewey shows her a message written in blood on the wall, which says “It’s all for her”

They discuss the possibility of it meaning Sidney. Just then, another person runs into the room. Dewey sighs when he sees who it is. It’s Gale Weathers-Riley, Dewey’s wife. Gale hugs Sidney, and welcomes her back, then confronts Dewey. Gale asks Dewey why he didn’t tell her about what happened. He says that it’s because he knew she would want to get involved. Gale says that she’s on writer’s block, and hasn’t been able to think of what to write about recently. She says that this could be a perfect opportunity to get back on track.

Back at school, Marnie talks to Walter. Walter says that a killing spree is the last thing he needs right now, after the guilt he is feeling. We flashback to a week ago. We learn that Walter got drunk at a bar one day with Jenny, and they eventually had sex. Walter is now trying to distance himself from Jenny out of guilt. Marnie says that it’s ok, and he didn’t really mean to. Walter says she knows just what to say. They kiss. Jenny watches on the other side of the hallway, jealousy on her face.

After returning home from school, Marnie sees her father, Lawrence Cooper. She says that she’s scared that she will be targeted in the murders, for being the girlfriend of one of Sidney’s cousins, should it be about her again. Lawrence says it’s going to take more than some “freak in a costume” to get past him. Marnie laughs at the joke, and goes upstairs. After she leaves, Lawrence gets a text on his cell phone that says “Secrets can’t stay hidden forever”

Lawrence clearly knows what he is referring to. He texts back to the sender to “keep your eyes to yourself” Another text replies that “You are not the boss here. I know what happened, so you’ll do what I say” Lawrence looks in his journal. In it is records of an incident that occurred 6 years ago, involving himself, Kate’s ex-husband, Damien Rosenberg, Kate, and their absent friend Milo Renfield. It is clear this secret is essential to the mystery.

At night, Sidney goes to an apartment at Woodsboro’s Crescent Palms Motel (named after place in MTV series) and rents out a room on the 3rd floor. She packs her things and gets settled in. After she finishes, her cell phone rings. Sidney approaches it and sees the ID is “Unknown” She knows what this means. She sighs and picks it up. Movie Ghostface is on the other end, who says “Hello Sidney, miss me?” Smash to black.

Episode 2: Old acquaintances
Picking up immediately where the last episode left off, Sidney is called by Movie Ghostface. She is stunned to silence for a moment, then asks what he wants from her this time. He says “nothing” Sidney is confused. Movie Ghostface explains that his motive doesn’t revolve around her, and that Jill is his main target. Sidney says she will kick his ass if he tries to hurt Jill, or Kate. Movie Ghostface says that he isn’t like the past killers who failed because they were “sore losers” This time, he will do better. Sidney says to prove it.

Movie Ghostface tells her to go to an abandoned warehouse outside of town the next evening, and that he will “lecture her” there. He hangs up. Sidney goes to bed, keeping a butcher knife beside her just in case. The next morning, we cut to the Reeds house. We meet Kirby and her tough and older brother, John Reed. They have breakfast. Kirby tells John that she is sad about Olivia’s death, and that she was a friend of hers.

John comforts her, and says that nothing like that will happen to her. Kirby asks John how he can be so sure. He says that it would take the best serial killer on the planet to get past him. Kirby smiles. They go off to school. There, Jenny approaches Walter. He tells Jenny that they have already been over this. Jenny says that Walter can’t feel that way, and admits that she wasn’t drunk when she made out with Walter that night. She is certain that Walter has feelings for her, but just doesn’t want to admit it.

Walter firmly insists that Marnie is his girlfriend. He tells Jenny that he is sorry that he made out with her, but it was an accident, and that he likes Marnie. He walks off. Jenny is clearly heartbroken, but she’s not giving up just yet. Kirby and John talk with Jill a bit. Jill admits to Kirby that she is worried that the killer might strike at her. John shows her a newspaper clipping, which has the message “It’s all for her” Kirby believes that it means for Sidney. Jill gets more nervous, and withdraws.

Kirby says they probably shouldn’t have had this discussion. John agrees. We cut back to the Roberts’ residence. Kate is sitting alone on the dinner table. Sidney walks up. She tells Kate that she got a call from the killer, and that he’s after Jill. Kate says that she doesn’t want Jill to know, as she’s still a young teenage girl. Sidney concludes she is right, and not everyone is as strong as she is. She asks Kate if there is any secrets she is keeping from her. Kate hesitates a moment, but says “no” Sidney replies that she hopes Kate is not lying to her. Kate insists that she is not, and tries to change the subject. She asks how Sidney’s current date, Hunter Park, is doing.

Sidney says that he’s doing great, he couldn’t come with her to Woodsboro because his brother recently died of cancer, and he is busy mourning. Sidney then walks off, saying that she is going out to eat, but she is actually going to the warehouse to investigate Movie Ghostface. During class, Hayley talks about the current murder spree, much to Jill and Kirby’s annoyance. Robbie and Charlie raise their hands. They start a monologue about killers and their motives.

Charlie says the killer might be after Sidney, but Robbie objects. He says that maybe the lead as switched to a new final girl, after all, this is a new trilogy taking place 10 years later. They then debate whether or not this will be a mere remake, or an actual reboot of the series overall. Kirby says a remake is bad enough, a reboot is worse. Jill and John agree. The bell rings, class dismissed. Later, around nighttime, Sidney is on her way to the warehouse. When she arrives, another car follows and parks beside her.

Assuming it is the killer, Sidney confronts the driver, and sees that it is Gale. She explains that she saw Sidney driving out of town, and, deciding she wants to investigate the murders again, has come to join her. Sidney protests, but is convinced Gale can handle herself, especially with both of them around. Gale also makes Sidney promise not to tell Dewey, as he would flip if he found out.

They both enter the warehouse, and look around for Movie Ghostface, who calls Sidney. He says that it’s nice she brought Gale alone with her, now he can teach them both not to interfere with his plans. Sidney says they can handle him, and that they’ve had experience. Movie Ghostface then says that he needs to make himself clearer. He hangs up. When Sidney tries to circle a corner, Movie Ghostface, who was hiding behind there, shoves his knife into Sidney’s stomach, incapacitating her.

Sidney tells Gale to run. Before she can do so, TV Ghostface pops out. He slams a beer bottle onto Gale’s head, knocking her out. Movie Ghostface tells his partner to take care of Gale, while he talks to Sidney. TV Ghostface drags Gale off. Movie Ghostface approaches. Sidney asks to see his face, but he refuses. Movie Ghostface asks if he has made himself clear yet. Sidney shakes her head. He recalls all the times Sidney fought against the wearers of this costume, and that he is different than all of them. Sidney says that he’ll slip up, they always do.

Movie Ghostface says that her Sidney’s resistance has made things far worse for her than they needed it to be. He lets her in on a secret; there is a third killer neither of them know about, Darth Ghostface. He says that Darth Ghostface killed Olivia and Trevor, and that neither he, nor his partner, know anything about him. He says that he won’t be a problem. He could take him out easily, and his partner would make him “knife fodder”

He gives her one last chance to stop interfering with his plans. Sidney refuses again, and says “Go ahead and kill me if you have the guts” Movie Ghostface shakes his head. He says that he has the “guts” to do anything, but he wants to really “punish” Sidney first, which means killing people close to her, and that she will live to see this happen. Movie Ghostface steps forward a bit, says that their conversation is over, and stabs Sidney again in the stomach, but not deep.

He says that she will live, and drags an unconscious Sidney off. Movie and TV Ghostface go in front of Dewey’s house, drop the injured Gale and Sidney on his doorstep, leave a note on Gale’s body, ring the doorbell, and run off. Dewey answers and sees the two women on the ground. The note says “They will live, but suffer” The episode ends as Dewey calls for an ambulance and brings them both inside to address their condition.

Episode 3: Finders Keepers
Picking up the next morning, Sidney and Gale wake up in the hospital. Dewey is standing above them, and tells them about how he found them at their doorstep, injured and unconscious. Sidney should be able to leave the hospital the following morning, as the stabs weren’t too deep. Gale has suffered a moderate concussion from her attack, but not severe. Stubborn as usual, Gale refuses to stay in the bed altogether and tells Dewey to help her up. Dewey asks Sidney if she found out any information about the killers.

Sidney tells him everything about Movie Ghostface. She sums up that there are three killers: Movie Ghostface, his partner TV Ghostface, and Darth Ghostface, who is working alone for a different reason. Dewey realizes it is going to be much harder to take down two separate killing sprees at once, and vows to work harder than ever, before telling Gale not to get involved again, infuriating her. She argues with Dewey, and reluctantly agrees to stop herself for a couple days to recover.

We cut to Jenny’s house. She’s looking more depressed and desperate than last episode. She writes down in her journal that she is going to enact a plan that will hopefully cause Marnie to leave Walter. She notes that it’s cruel, but necessary. She heads off to school. Before school opens, Lawrence visits Hayley in her office. He asks her if she was ever interested in catching a killer before. Hayley says that she would love to, and tells him she was always interested in the Ghostface murders.

Lawrence proposes an alliance: the two team up together to catch at least one of the pairs of killers. If they succeed in doing so, Hayley gets full credit and she gets to write a book. Hayley is quickly interested. They shake hands after she agrees to keep Lawrence’s involvement a secret. Lawrence confesses that one of the killers holds a secret that is dear to him, and that he can’t let him leak it. Hayley asks to give her time to think of which Ghostface might hold the secret.

Lawrence agrees and leaves. At the police station, Dewey is approached by Judy. She tells him that they’ve traced down the calls that Olivia received on her phone to Robbie’s cell phone, and that she brought him down to the station for questioning. We cut to the interrogation room. Robbie looks nervous. When asked about his cell phone, he tells them that it went missing days ago, and he hasn’t seen it until now.

Robbie says that he is innocent; Dewey responds “that’s what Billy Loomis said, and look where that turned out” Robbie then points out that he is not exactly the most physically capable student around her, and says that Trevor would have kicked his ass if he tried to kill him. Judy and Dewey decide to let him go after giving him his phone back, although they are still unsure whether he is telling the truth or not.

At school, after classes end, Jenny notices Walter in a hallway preparing to leave. Marnie is approaching, but is a bit far away. She’s making her move. Jenny wakes up to Walter, who is definitely annoyed. Walter asks her what it is this time; Jenny grabs and kisses Walter just as Marnie arrives. She walks up and confronts them. Jenny pretends that Walter kissed her, hoping to make Marnie break up with him. Walter denies it, asking Marnie why he would kiss Jenny out of nowhere.

Marnie doesn’t fall for the trick, and tells Jenny to stop being a “total bitch” Walter says that he agrees; Jenny smacks him across the face. Shocked, Walter runs off. Marnie is furious. The two girls begin arguing over who is better than Walter. Marnie shouts that Walter never loved her, and never will. Outraged, Jenny punches Marnie in the face, who does the same to Jenny. They glare at each other, and it is on! Marnie and Jenny begin fighting, throwing punches and pulling each other’s hair. Walter and Jill return and see this.

They try to separate them, but a nearby crowd of students, who are excited by the fight, stop them. The girls inflict numerous blows on each other as Walter and Jill struggle to get through the crowd. At one point, Marnie leaves a scratch across Jenny’s cheek with her fingernails. Jenny begins trying to strangle her. Jill and Walter finally get through the crowd, and break up the girls. Walter shouts at them that he isn’t even worth fighting over, and this never even needed to happen. He drags Jenny outside.

She says that Walter can never escape her, and stop denying that he loves her. Walter then loses his temper and shouts at her that he will never love a “whore” like her, and that he never wants to see Jenny again. Walter shoves Jenny against a wall and walks away, coldly telling her to get out of his life. Jenny is heartbroken, she’s lost all hope of getting the love of her life back. Jenny walks off in shame, not even bothering to look back.

She goes to the parking lot and tries to leave school. Jenny enters her car and sits down, but when she tries to close the door, and pair of hands grabs her. Movie Ghostface is outside the vehicle. He wraps duct tape on her mouth to keep her quiet. He says that Jenny could never make a good girlfriend to anyone. Movie Ghostface throws her out of the vehicle. He takes out a wooden splinter. Movie Ghostface stabs Jenny five times in the back, and once in the throat. It's very similar to Eddie Hayes' death.

Jenny Randall, Walter’s love interest, is dead. Movie Ghostface drags her off to his own car, and locks her corpse in his car trunk. He texts TV Ghostface that “I got rid of her, time to really make our move though” After school, Walter and Jill walk home. Jill asks Walter if he wants to talk about what happened, but it is clear that he’s not in the mood. As they walk, TV Ghostface comes up. He brandishes his knife, and runs at Jill.

Walter hears him and shoves Jill out of the way. He gets stabbed in the chest. Walter falls to the ground, but we can’t tell if he is dead. Jill screams and tries to run off, but TV Ghostface tackles her to the ground. He holds the knife to her throat. Jill asks him what he wants. TV Ghostface tells him about how he’s targeting her, along with his boss, Movie Ghostface. He explains the events of the warehouse to Jill, which she didn’t know about until now. Jill begs not to be killed.

TV Ghostface calls her pathetic, and wonders how she could ever be a final girl. TV Ghostface decides to just kill her now, believing that she’ll never be able to be a badass like her cousin. Before he can do so, a gloved fist slams onto TV Ghostface. He gets up and sees Darth Ghostface. TV Ghostface lunges, but Darth Ghostface slashes his cloak with Bloodsaber, though not piercing his skin. He tells him “Get Out. She’s mine.” Bewildered, TV Ghostface runs off. Jill thanks her savior, but he holds Bloodsaber to her throat.

He confesses to the murders of Trevor Sheldon and Olivia Morris. Jill asks him why. Darth Ghostface says that he’s doing it for Jill, he loves her. Jill says that he doesn’t love him. Darth Ghostface says that he’s a patient man, and that all it takes is time. He’s watched romance films before, and he’s had his eye on Jill for a long time. He removes Bloodsaber away, and tells her to remember the name “Darth Ghostface” before knocking her out. The episode then smashes to black.

Episode 4: Investigations
We cut to the hospital the next morning. Jill and Walter are in hospital beds, with Sidney, Dewey and Kate beside them. Walter survived his stabbing because it missed a major artery, but he will be in the hospital for a bit. Dewey asks her what happened. Jill tells Dewey about everything with Darth and TV Ghostface. Darth is in love her, while TV wants her dead. Dewey is surprised about Darth’s motives, which makes this even more different than what he experienced ten years ago.

Sidney concludes that Movie Ghostface is TV Ghostface’s boss, and the mastermind they should worry about the most. They can resolve Darth Ghostface later. Dewey agrees, and asks Kate if she would like Hoss and Perkins put at her home for protection. She agrees. After Kate leaves the room, she runs into Lawrence. He says that they need to talk and that he knows Kate is not one of the killers, but what happened six years ago is definitely involved in this.

Kate says that Lawrence shouldn’t go too far trying to conceal their secret, what he did six years ago was more than enough. Lawrence says it was justified, and if word of it got out, what would happen to Jill? Kate doesn’t reply. Lawrence tells her that he recruited a teacher at Woodsboro high to help him. He says that she’s eager to catch the killer to get famous, and that they he is going to her house later to see what leads Hayley has gotten.

He asks Kate if she wants to come, but she refuses and leaves. Dewey tells Hoss and Perkins to go to the Roberts’ house and guard Jill and Kate. Before they do so, Perkins tells Dewey that there was an error when the cell phone was traced to Robbie. It turns out that the wrong name was written down; the call was actually traced to Jenny Randall’s phone, who has recently gone missed (due to her secret death). Dewey then goes back to Walter and Jill, and asks them about Jenny.

Walter speaks up, and tells him about the argument and fight that Jenny had with him and Marnie yesterday. Dewey wonders if Jenny is Darth Ghostface, perhaps pretending to love Jill, and actually loving Walter. Dewey leaves deep in thought. At her home, Hayley is sorting out her papers. It’s clear that she’s been watching the news last night, and has been going through further investigates on one of the killers.

She calls Lawrence to tell him her latest theory. She says that the killer could be Robbie Mercer or Charlie Walker. She notes that since they are big horror geeks at school, as she has noticed in their class. Since they are around Jill’s age, one of them could be Darth Ghostface, trying to get her for himself. Lawrence responds that he doubts Darth Ghostface is the one with his secret. Hayley asks him what he is, but he refuses to tell her anything, tells her to switch her view to Movie/TV Ghostface, and hangs up.

Hayley is clearly annoyed that Lawrence didn’t even thank her for her work so far. She wonders if it is worth catching a killer for fame. Just then, her phone rings again. Believing it is Lawrence, she picks it up, only to discover that it is actually TV Ghostface. He tells her that she shouldn’t be snooping in other people’s businesses, and that Hayley reminds him of Kristin Lang, from the Scream TV Series and the fanfics. Hayley says that she isn’t Kristin, and that she’s way better than her.

TV Ghostface says that Kieran was an idiot in the show for “so many reasons that I can’t keep count” and that he is nothing compared to him. He will make short work of Hayley, and besides, he hasn’t committed a murder yet. He hangs up. Hayley hears a noise nearby and grabs a frying pan. She decides to try and take on the killer now, hoping to subdue him, prove her worth to Lawrence, and thus fulfill her plans to get famous.

She walks around a hallway, looking around. We see TV Ghostface walking behind her. He drops a vase so that she can hear, causing her to shriek in fright. Harley walks to the source of the noise and finds nothing. She turns around and TV Ghostface is right in front of her. Hayley swings the frying pan, but TV Ghostface grabs it, and slashes her Hayley’s face. She shrieks. TV Ghostface pins her down. He says that unlike Darth Ghostface, he is not a gentleman to women. He will demonstrate that now.

He slices Hayley’s cheeks, and then across her whole face. He repeatedly stabs and slashes Hayley’s face. Hayley Greene, Woodsboro high teacher, is dead, her face mutilated. TV Ghostface takes Hayley’s phone and calls Lawrence. He says that he shouldn’t have tried to call for help, just wait until his daughter finds the truth. Realizing something is wrong, he asks where Hayley is and is told to come to her home.

Upon arriving, he soon finds her corpse and a note. The note says that he can’t tell anyone of her death. If he wants his secret to remain a secret, he should dispose of it. He will find a shovel in the nearby woods outside of his house. Movie Ghostface already dug a hole there. He is told to bury Hayley’s corpse there. There is also a handgun with two bullets next to her corpse. The note says that he will “know when to use this” Taking the handgun, Lawrence drags Hayley’s corpse outside and into the woods.

Upon finding the hole and shovel nearby, he puts Hayley’s corpse inside, buries it, and walks off. As he leaves, Marnie is shown to have been watching him burying it. Flashbacks show that Marnie grew concerned about her father’s nervousness over the past few days and followed him around. She heard the call with TV Ghostface and followed him to Hayley’s house, and then into the woods. The episode ends as a dumbfounded Marnie calls the police.

Episode 5: Breathless
The next morning, the police are on the scene at the forest. Hayley’s body is being taking away. Marnie is already back at home, as she left the scene after being questioned. She didn’t say that Lawrence buried the body, only that it was a dark figure. Lawrence is shocked to hear this on the news, and realizes that somebody followed him. He finds out from the news that it was Marnie and asks her what happened. Marnie lies and says she saw a dark figure dragging a body out and burying it. After they left Marnie called the police. Lawrence is suspicious of her actual motive, but decides to let it slide for now.

After Marnie leaves for school, Lawrence takes out the handgun with two bullets. He contemplates whether murdering his daughter might be necessary or not. At school, Jill and Walter go, with the latter having recovered, although he has still has some pain left. They are surprised at the news of Hayley’s death, with a substitute teacher in class. The group decides not to talk about the murders, and try to take their minds off of it, which means not listening to Charlie and Robbie.

Walter notices Jill eyeing John in the hallway. Walter asks Jill if she has a crush on John. Jill confesses that she does. She says that John looks handsome and is a great guy to have around, although she is younger than him. Jill has been this way for a while, since Kirby first introduced him, but has been too shy to ask him out. Walter encourages Jill to make a move on John, which could take her mind of the killing spree. After some debate, Jill agrees.

She approaches John, who tells her that he has seen Jill looking at him more than once. Jill confesses her crush on John, and asks him out on a date. Not wanting to hurt Jill’s feelings, John accepts the offer. Walter asks if he and Marnie can come along as a double date. Jill and John agree. They decide to meet up at Kirby’s house tonight. After Jill and Walter leave, John asks if Kirby has a crush on anyone. She confesses that she’s had her eye on Charlie, but hasn’t made a move yet.

He says that she has been acting strange since she found Hayley’s corpse last night, and asks if there is something more going on. Marnie confesses that she saw Lawrence burying Hayley last night. Walter is shocked, and wonders if he is the killer. Marnie refuses to believe it, and says that she is going to look for evidence to find out why Lawrence did what he did. Walter says that is way too dangerous. Marnie could be killed if Lawrence really is the murderer, and that Walter should come with her.

She refuses, stating that this is something that she needs to handle on her own. Walter reluctantly agrees after making her vow that she will die tonight. Once alone, Marnie gets a text message, which says “If you want to be the detective, come see what’s in your basement tonight” After school ends, Kirby and John go home. Kirby asks John if he returns Jill’s feelings. John says that Jill is an interesting girl, but is nervous. The last girlfriend he had cheated on him.

Kirby assures John that Jill is not that type of girl, and the date will go great. John hopes so, and goes upstairs. He looks at a photo of his parents, Beverly and David Reed. We learn about what happened to them. It is revealed through flashbacks that six years ago, David was heading home from work when he disappeared. Shortly after, David was found drowned at a driver, with cuts and bruises on him. It is currently unknown how he drowned, although a murder was a possibility.

Beverly wasn’t able to recover from losing David and shot herself in the head. With both their parents dead, John went home to help a distraught Kirby recover. He begins to cry again, but as he does so, TV Ghostface appears, having been hiding under the bed. He ambushes John and beats him unconscious with a pipe. While waiting for John, Kirby gets a phone call from TV Ghostface with John’s phone.

She asks where he is. Kirby soon realizes it’s the killer, and gets scared. She grabs a frying pan. TV Ghostface taunts her that John is the new version of Steve Orth, but that will come later. Kirby asks him why he’s doing this. He says that maybe she’ll end up like her dad. Kirby thinks for a moment, and asks if he is related to that. TV Ghostface says that his partner is, but he knows all about it.

It’s the beginning of an era, and there isn’t anything anyone can do about. Kirby says if he touches her, she’ll bash his face in with the frying pan. TV Ghostface says that he would love to see her try, and hangs up. TV Ghostface runs at her. Kirby hits him in the head with the frying ban, and runs outside. TV Ghostface runs after her. Kirby tries to hit him again when he catches up, and he disarms her.

He pins Kirby against a tree, and brings the knife out. He stabs it at Kirby’s neck. Before we can see if it hit her, we cut to Marnie’s home. After Lawrence goes to bed, Marnie goes downstairs into the basement. She finds Lawrence’s journal there and a note which says “Happy now, detective?” She opens the journal and reads it. She is shocked by what she sees, and hears a noise behind her. It’s Lawrence, who has the handgun. Marnie asks him if what is in this journal is true.

Lawrence says that it is. We flashback to finally reveal his secret. It happened six years ago. Kate, Damien, Lawrence, and their friend Milo Renfield were in a car together. They had an “adult day” together as they used to be childhood friends. Unknown to them, Kate, who is the driver, is drunk. During the drive, Kate becomes distracted and accidently hits and kills a male pedestrian.

Damien checks to see if the man is alive, and realizes that he is not. Kate says they need to call the police. Damien and Lawrence say no, and that they need to keep this a secret. It’s similar to the opening of I Know What You Did Last Summer. Damien convcines Kate, but Renfield is firm to call the police. Lawrence starts shouting at Renfield, who shouts back at him. They have a heated arugment. Lawrence says if they go to jail, who will take care of their children?

When Redfield ignores Lawrence and tries to call the police, Lawrence loses his temper, pulls out a pocket knife and stabs Renfield in the forehead, killing him. He then asks a horrified Damien and Kate if there are “any more complaints?” Damien and Kate don’t answer him. Lawrence orders them to dump the man’s body into the river while he takes care of Renfield. Damien and Kate do so.

We cut back to present day. Lawrence explains that he burned Renfield’s corpse to ashes so that nobody will ever find it. Disgusted, Marnie goes to call the police. Unwilling to let his secret be exposed, Lawrence pulls out his handgun and points it at Marnie. He asks her to keep it a secret. Marnie refuses and tells Lawrence and he wouldn’t shoot his own daughter. When Marnie turns to leave, Lawrence pulls the trigger, and shoots her daughter in the back.

Marnie is horrified. Lawrence walks up to her, and aims the gun at her head. He says that it didn’t have to be this way, and all she had to do was respect his secrets. Marnie pleads with Lawrence. Her father ignores her and says its Marnie’s death is her fault, not his. He tries to pull the trigger when the sound of flesh ripping is heard. The bullet fires off into the air. Lawrence has been stabbed in the back by Movie Ghostface. Movie Ghostface calls the Lawrence the “worst father ever”

He tries to shoot Movie Ghostface, but he already used up the two bullets. Movie Ghostface stabs Lawrence in both of his eyes, and gouges them out. Lawrence Cooper, Marnie’s father, is dead. Movie Ghostface turns to the even more horrified Marnie. He says that he’s not going to kill her, not yet anyway. He wants to reveal Lawrence’s secret to the public. Marnie asks if the man was related to him in a way. Movie Ghostface says he knew him. He then knocks out Marnie as the episode ends.

Episode 6: Mortality
We cut to the next morning in the hospital. Most of the teen characters, are there, as well as Dewey. Dewey explains that after Marnie was shot, a nearby neighbor called him, having heard the gunshots. He does not appear to be aware of Lawrence’s secret, but is aware of his death. Walter asks if they can see Marnie. Dewey says that she’s in critical condition after her shooting, and is best if they leave her alone for now.

Dewey asks if anyone knows why the killer would target Marnie. Robbie suggests that it was torment Walter, as she is his girlfriend. Charlie finds it odd that the killer shot Marnie instead of stabbing her, and leaving her alive as well. Dewey realizes there is something more going on than it seems. Afterward, he talks to Judy. He asks her if they have been able to find Jenny Randall anywhere. She says no.

Judy also explains that they can’t contact her parents, as they are away for a vacation. Dewey says this is getting more complicated by the second, and that he needs answers. After leaving the hospital, Dewey gets a call, this time from TV Ghostface. He says that if Dewey is so eager for answers, he’s happy to give him some, although he personally hates investigators.

Dewey asks him what he wants. TV Ghostface says that if Dewey comes over to Jenny’s house, along with Sidney and Gale, but nobody else, he will give him something. Dewey asks him what he will give him, but TV Ghostface hangs up. Dewey is deep in thought whether to get wife and best friend involved. We cut to TV Ghostface’s location. He is in a car, but he can’t tell whose it is. Movie Ghostface is in the back seat.

They drive over to Jenny’s house, and open the car trunk; although we don’t see what is in it, we can tell its Kirby and John due to breathing sounds inside. Later, Gale and Dewey go up to her room and talk to her. Dewey tells Sidney about the call that he had from TV Ghostface, about going to Jenny’s house, having already told Gale. He doesn’t want to do it because he is afraid of losing Gale.

On the other hand, this might be their only chance to finally get answers about what is happening. Gale says that she can handle herself, but Dewey contradicts this by pointing out how easy TV Ghostface took her down. They starting arguing, but Sidney defuses this. She does a speech that they are the immortal trio, and no killer is going to take them down. If they work together, they can get through this.

Dewey and Gale agree. They get into a group hug, and decide that they are going down to the house tonight. At the Roberts’ house, Kate, Jill and Walter are together. Seeing that Jill and Walter are depressed about Marnie, Kate walks up to them. She decides that she is going to tell them about the secret; with Lawrence dead, he can’t punish her for doing so.

Kate tells them everything about Damien, Lawrence and Renfield. She confesses that she lied about the reason she and Damien are divorced. Damien was filled with guilt after the secret, and left Woodsboro, deeming it “murderville” and wanting to move on. Kate lied and said they got divorced due to her drinking problems. Jill and Walter are shocked. Kate promises to turn herself in after the killer is caught, fearing of consequences if she does so beforehand. Jill and Walter go with it, and ultimately forgive her, understanding that she was intimidated. The trio hug. Later, John and Kirby wake up at Jenny’s home, with TV Ghostface throwing Jenny’s corpse in front of them. The siblings are shocked.

TV Ghostface says that he wants to play a “fun game”, having been giving full authority by Movie Ghostface to do what he wants. Kirby asks him what he knows about her father’s death. TV Ghostface says that they will get to that later, right now, they are going to take a five question horror quiz. If Kirby gets three questions right, John and her go free. However, if Kirby gets a question wrong, John will be stabbed. If she gets three wrong, TV Ghostface will fatally stab John and he will bleed to death in front of her.

After Kirby answers the first two questions (The weapons of Jason Voorhees and Leatherface) correctly, TV Ghostface asks her about The Exorcist two. Kirby does not know the answers as she hates watching that film, and John is stabbed twice (one in the knee, and one in the arm). The final question is to name TV Ghostface’s favorite film, which Kirby protests is “unfair” He then gives her three options: The Shining, Stab, and Don’t Breathe. After some thought, Kirby guesses Stab.

TV Ghostface announces she was correct, although he is a bit disappointed, as he wanted to kill John in front of her. Seeing out a window that Dewey, Gale and Sidney are arriving, he gags John and Kirby, and locks them and Jenny’s corpse in a closet, stating that he now has “a much better victim” TV Ghostface runs to hide. The immortal trio enter the home. After promising Dewey that she will not die on him, Gale and Sidney go upstairs, while Dewey searches for evidence on the main floor.

Gale admits to Sidney that she does not think Jenny is the killer, and that they will find evidence that will prove that. Sidney agrees, and hears John and Kirby’s muffled shouting for help. They follow the noise and enter the closet, finding John, Kirby and Jenny’s corpse. Ungagging John, he informs them that TV Ghostface in the house before passing out due to blood loss. Gale is about to get Dewey when she gets a phone call. It’s TV Ghostface.

He says that he doesn’t like people snooping around, and that he thought he made that clear in their previous encounter. Gale says that TV Ghostface has no idea who he is talking to; he is talking to “Gale fucking Weathers” She says he can go “fuck someone else” TV Ghostface remains silent for a moment, and says “As you wish” He hangs up. Gale realizes that TV Ghostface is now going to attack Dewey and rushes downstairs to warn him, while Sidney calls Judy to get John and Kirby.

Meanwhile, Dewey hears eerie breathing noises and draws his gun. He goes to the source of the noise and discovers that it is a tape recorder playing the banging noise. After he turns it off, TV Ghostface runs up. Dewey tries to shoot him, but TV Ghostface grabs his wrist and slices his throat open. Dewey gasps for breath, and begins gurgling up blood. TV Ghostface grabs Dewey’s gun and runs out the back door. Dewey tries to contain the blood flow, but it’s too much. He is NOT pulling a fast one on us this time.

Gale arrives, and screams upon seeing her dying husband. Gale holds Dewey in her arms. She screams at Dewey not to die on her; she didn’t die on him. He can get through this, as he’s gotten through everything else. It’s useless. Dewey mutters “G…Gale…” Dewey closes his eyes, and passes away. Sheriff Dewey Riley, immortal trio member and Gale’s wife, is dead. Gale begins bawling. It’s the first time we’ve really seen her lose someone she loves. After calling Judy, Sidney arrives and is horrified to see Dewey’s corpse. She cries with Gale, who is hysterical at this point. The episode ends as they mourn for their loss.

Episode 7: Preparations
Picking up shortly after where the last episode left off, Dewey Riley is dead. The police are at the scene. Dewey’s body is being carried outside by Gale, holding him in her arms. Sidney is beside her. There are dozens of officers there, shocked by the death of their longtime leader. They stand in two lines, with Gale and Sidney walking between them. Everyone takes off their hats in respect, including Judy, Hoss and Perkins. After putting Dewey down, Gale collapses and passes out.

Gale wakes up at the hospital, with Sidney standing over her. She tells Gale that she passed out, and reminds of her Dewey’s death. Gale begins crying again. Sidney apologizes for her loss, and says Dewey was her friend too. She knows how this feels. Gale looks at Sidney in the eyes, and tells her to “catch this motherfucker, no matter what” Sidney vows to do so. In another room, Jill and Walter are with Kirby and John.

The four are also surprised by the death of Dewey Riley. John is in the bed due to his stab wounds, though Kirby is standing because she is unharmed. Kirby apologizes for answering two of the questions incorrectly, which John accepts. He makes Kirby promise to keep herself safe, and that he’ll be back as soon as he recovers. The trio leave. At the police station, Judy is sworn in as sheriff to replace Dewey.

She is obviously depressed that Dewey is dead, admitting to herself she had a minor crush on him, but she remains focused on the task at hand. She keeps Hoss and Perkins on guard at Jill’s house. Marnie, having recovered from her shooting, arrives to tell Judy about Lawrence’s secret. She explains the man’s death and how Lawrence killed Renfield when he refused to stay quiet. She does not mention that Kate and Damien were involved.

She also lies that Renfield was the driver and was drunk. Judy is still confused, as this doesn’t lead to a motive on why the killers would want to target Jill. She allows Marnie to leave, as she wants time alone after to cope with her father’s death. Afterward, she goes over to the Roberts’ house. She admits to them about lying to the police. Kate thanks her for doing so, but reminds her that she is going to confess after Movie Ghostface is caught.

Jill wants to go over to Charlie’s home to ask him and Robbie (who is staying with Charlie for a sleepover) to ask them for advice. Kate agrees, but tells them to get home before dark. After they leave, Kate goes outside to tell Hoss and Perkins. As she opens the back door, her home phone rings. She picks it up and hears Movie Ghostface. He says that he’s been far too gentle to Kate and her kids recently.

He would have chased them around more, but he was busy with Sidney and Lawrence. Now, he’s ready to make up for it. Kate says that he isn’t going to get past Hoss and Perkins. After responding that he “took care of that already” he hangs up. Kate opens the back door and sees Movie Ghostface on the other side. She tries to slam the door on him, but he kicks it back open.

Kate tries to run off, and Movie Ghostface chases her. Kate is clearly not a fast runner, as she is quickly caught. Movie Ghostface wraps his hands around her neck, stating that “Soon, the past will be at rest” Kate eventually passes out and is dragged off. Marnie, Jill and Walter arrive at Charlie’s house. They ask Charlie and Robbie what to do about the killer.

Robbie says that he doesn’t want to end up being knife fodder if they help the main heroes. Charlie says that he should stay alive, at least for the sequel, as they are the two new versions of Randy. Jill asks him to stop messing around, which he does. Charlie and Robbie eventually agree to help them, although they have limits.

He says that the killer would most likely have to a friend to Jill. When asked for the most likely suspect, he suggests himself and Robbie, as they are the only ones who have never seen any of the killers. Charlie also points out he is the more physical of the two. Marnie asks him for rules that help them survive near the finale. She thinks that the killer will make their final move soon, with the police department reeling over their leader’s death.

Charlie lists three rules: One, Always stay together and never go off alone, especially in a forest at night. Two, be prepared to fight back, especially with a gun if you can find one. Three, always have someone watch your back. After he finishes, Robbie goes to get a drink from the kitchen. At the same time, we see someone through their POV approaching the back door. After he pours himself a glass of beer, he hears knocking on the back door.

Robbie hears Kirby’s voice on the other side and opens it. He instead sees Movie Ghostface, whom was using Kirby’s voice to trick Robbie. He shoves the tree branch into Robbie’s throat. He shoves it in deeper, fully impaling it. Robbie Mercer is dead. The others hear the noise and see Movie Ghostface, who begins chasing them. The four teens manage to flee upstairs, get into Charlie’s bedroom and lock themselves in. Walter says that they are safe.

Just then, Movie Ghostface begins hacking his way through the door with a hatchet. The teens begin panicking; they are cornered and trapped. Movie Ghostface breaks a hole through the door, shouting "Here's Ghostface!" and reaches for the doorknob on the other side. The episode ends before he opens the door.

Episode 8: Revelations
Picking up immediately where the last episode left off, Movie Ghostface breaks down the bedroom door to reach Walter, Jill, Charlie and Marnie. Walter frantically asks anyone if they have a sharp object on them. Charlie shows that he has a recently sharpened pencil, which Walter takes. When Movie Ghostface tries to open the door from the other side, Walter slashes his hand “The Shining style”, causing him to retreat. When Movie Ghostface does not return, the teens leave cautiously.

Downstairs, Charlie wonders where Robbie is and sees his corpse. Charlie begins crying, with his best friend dead. Marnie helps comfort him. When Jill tries to call the police, Movie Ghostface calls first. He tells her that she shouldn’t bother the police, they’ve suffered enough as it is. Jill asks him what he is point is. Movie Ghostface cuts to the chase; he tells her what’s happened to Kate. In order to save her, Jill, Walter and Sidney must come to the Roberts house in an hour.

Jill tries to tell him to leave Kate alone, but he hangs up on her. Jill asks what to do, she’s confused. Charlie realizes that this the killers’ finale. Had Walter not driven Movie Ghostface back, he probably would have tried to kill them all. Jill asks him for any weapons they could use. He gives each of them a butcher knife from the kitchen, telling them not to be “slow like Michael Myers” Marnie hugs Walter, making promise to come out alive.

The siblings leave and head to Sidney’s apartment building. They find her sulking over Dewey. She perks up when they tell her about Kate’s predicament. Jill confesses to Sidney that she doesn’t want to do this, and doesn’t believe she is like her cousin at all. Sidney tells her that she’s a fighter, and that it’s in their blood. All that they have to do is act. Besides, the killer is outnumbered 3-1. Walter says he’s got her back.

Jill is more encouraged now. The trio go down to Kate’s home. They come across Hoss and Perkins’ car, finding them both stabbed to death. This is what Movie Ghostface meant by “took care of them” while talking to Kate last episode. They enter the house, and see Kate tied up and Movie Ghostface, who pulls out Dewey’s gun on them. He shoots Sidney in the leg to disable her. He says that Sidney never had to get involved in this. It was her choice.Jill tells him to leave Kate alone. Movie Ghostface says he can’t do that, she’s part of the past. Jill and Walter are part of “modern needs” Walter demands to know what his point. Movie Ghostface responds by taking off the mask. It’s Kirby Reed. Everyone freezes in shock. Jill is the most shocked.

When she regains her posture, she says that this is impossible. Kirby was a victim. Kirby says that looks can be deceiving. We flashback to her attack on the house. She purposely allowed TV Ghostface to chase her. Kirby says she wanted to pretend to be the victim, and it was “so much fun” It was exciting to run away in the woods, and be the seemingly helpless victim. After they finished faking their chase, they put John in their car trunk. TV Ghostface tied her and John up. Kirby knew all the answers to the horror questions and purposely got two wrong.

Walter says that John is her brother. Kirby tells him to stop “stating the obvious” and that’s why she didn’t have him killed. Her whole kidnapping was staged for fun, and to remove any suspicion that could come. Sidney asks her why she would do this. Kirby reminds them that it’s all related to the man Kate killed 6 years ago with Damien. Kate asks who the man is, as she never found out. Kirby reveals that it was David Reed, her father. She says it gets worse than that. It turns out that David didn’t die when he got hit by the car, just badly injured and knocked unconscious. When Kate and Damien dumped David in the lake, thinking he was already dead, he drowned to his death. Kate is horrified, realizing that they could have saved him.

Kirby explains that this led to her mother’s suicide, forcing John to come take care of her. Kirby admits that John is obviously not her partner, but won’t say who it is.Kate begs Kirby to take her life instead of her children, pointing out they had nothing to do with her parents’ deaths. Kirby ignores her, explaining that she did a killing spree for prolonged revenge. She wanted to make Kate feel guilty and responsible for the killing spree. Now, she’s ready to end it here. Sidney says she won’t get away with this. Kirby again tells Sidney that Dewey’s death is her fault.

Kirby would have targeted Jill more if she wasn’t busy trying to take care of Sidney. Her attention was divided. Now that she has everyone here, she is ready to make her final move. Just then, Kirby shoves her knife into the top of Kate’s head. Kate Roberts, mother of Jill and Walter, is dead. Jill and Walter scream. Sidney passes out due to her gunshot wound and shock. Jill shouts that Kirby was her friend. Kirby assures Jill that they were never friends. The real friends that she has is “death”, her partner and maybe John. She found him boring sometimes anyway.

Then, without Dewey’s gun (stating that shooting them would be “boring”) she attacks Jill and Walter, but they prove to be resilient. Jill has her durability from Scream 4 as the killer. Kirby smacks and punches Jill, but she won’t stop coming.Eventually, Kirby slashes Jill chest, and stabs her in the arm. She leaves Jill badly wounded. Walter is now on his own. Kirby pins Walter again a wall and begins strangling him. Walter reaches for his knife, gets it, and stabs Kirby in the back. She starts shrieking. Walter continues stabbing and slashing Kirby’s back until she stops moving. Walter pushes Kirby off of him. He looks down at her. Kirby appears to be dead.

Walter walks back to Jill, who is in pain from her wounds, but alive. Sidney wakes up too. Walter tells them that Kirby is dead, and tries to help them up, intending to take them to the hospital. Before they can do so, Kirby gets up and begins running at Walter with her knife, forgetting about the gun in her blind fury. Before she can reach him, a gunshot rings out. Kirby falls back, a bullet in the back of her shoulder.

It is then shown that the shooter is Judy, who came over because Hoss and Perkins became unresponsive and went to check on them, believing they were being lazy. After finding them both dead, Hicks went inside and shot Kirby in when she heard her screaming. Judy takes Kirby’s pulse, and notices that she is still clinging to life. She calls for backup, and attends to Jill, Walter and Sidney, who mourn for Kate.

In the aftermath, we cut to Charlie’s house a month later. We notice that he has been setting up a podcast, Noah style. In a monologue, Charlie explains that Jill and Sidney have been treated for their wounds. Kirby was in critical condition after being shot and stabbed, but narrowly survived. She is now being put on trial for her murder spree. Charlie has noticed something weird. TV and Darth Ghostface have not revealed themselves.

Kirby has been completely uncooperative under police interrogations and has ignored requests to name TV Ghostface’s identity. Charlie has a feeling that the two Ghostfaces will return one day, although there has been a lack of action from Darth Ghostface. As he says this, we cut to Jill’s house, whom is sleeping. Darth Ghostface is seen watching her through a window. We cut to the prison where Kirby is at. She is informed by a guard someone is calling her. She picks up the phone and hears TV Ghostface, who tells her that this isn’t over. Soon, they will finish their work. The season ends as Kirby slowly lets out a devilish smile at the audience.
