Detailed Summary
The episode begins in the fictional town of Rocky Pines, with a wealthy girl named Callie Burton taking a late-night bath in her hot tub upstairs inside her mansion. She's listening to music with her earphones in while candles around the hot tub burn as a cloaked figure stands behind her. The cloaked figure walks away and slams the door, putting out the candles' flames. Callie notices and calls out if anyone's in her house. Her phone then bings and Callie reads a text message from her boyfriend, Sawyer Owens. The message reads, "Hey. I want to watch our favorite scary movie. Come to the living room." To Callie's chagrin, she quickly gets dressed and notices that the lights have been turned off. As she's calling out for Sawyer to stop, she follows a path of lit candles and balloons with arrows on them which lead to the living room downstairs(movie theatre, according to Callie). Callie enters the theatre and the doors behind her shut abruptly. She lets out a shriek and someone plays a video over the projector screen. The video depicts Sawyer tied up with a bruised and bloody face. He struggles to break free, to no avail. Callie witnesses as Sawyer is pulled up and dropped onto a metal hook. He chokes on his own blood and his lifeless body hangs. Callie shouts, "Oh, my God! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" The doors are kicked open, prompting Callie to scream in terror. Ghostface walks into the theatre and tilts his head, holding a buck knife in his hand. Callie throws a vase at Ghostface, shouting at him to go away. She runs to her bedroom with Ghostface in pursuit. As they run up the stairs, he grabs Callie's arm and stabs her on the side of her stomach, but she kicks him down the stairs. Callie attempts to make a quick dash to her bedroom but Ghostface is already behind her. With nowhere to go, Callie runs into the basement and trips on the stairs down. She quickly gets back up and makes it to her wine cellar. Now walking, Ghostface slides his knife along the wall, generating a terrifying sound loud enough for Callie to hear. She runs to a door with no handle on it. Callie desperately tries to open the door. Ghostface intervenes, showing her the doorknob. Callie screams in horror, but the screams turn into choking sounds as Ghostface brutally stabs her. He wipes the blood off his knife after exposing Callie's viscera.

At that exact moment, Stacy sits in her room, facetiming her best friend since first grade, Penny Clayton. They discuss their crushes until Stacy hears a sound at her window. Initially hesitant, she opens the blinds and doesn't see anything until Ghostface pops up at her window, holding a bloody buck knife. Stacy lets out a scream. Ghostface takes his mask off, revealing himself to be Dexter Crane, who was just playing a prank on his friend. Dexter laughs alongside Penny, but Stacy is not pleased. Harry, Stacy's dad, comes in to check on the scream. Stacy only says that it's just a prank pulled off by her friends. Harry looked annoyed and wanted some sleep. After saying good night to her father and friends, Stacy went to bed.

The next morning, Stacy, Penny, and Dexter are walking to school and arrive, only to see reporters (in particular, Sam Landry) and cops swarming the area. Once the trio entered the school, Eric Wallis bumped into them and explained what happened to Callie and Sawyer. The whole school's been talking about the incident. As the four walk down the second floor hallway to head to psychology class, they see Dylan Ivers being shoved into a locker by Garrett Clayton with Madison Campbell laughing. Penny shouts at his brother to stop harassing Dylan. Garrett and Madison leave with Dylan expressing his shy thanks to Penny. Eric commented that he thought Garrett and Madison's relationship is sad to watch. Class started without the teacher present. It took a few moments for Ms. Baker to enter the classroom due to her unexpected new student, Tanner Glass. Ms. Baker allows Tanner to choose his seat with the students eyeballing him as he chooses. He decides to sit as close to Stacy as possible upon seeing her for the first time. He now sits one seat to the left and one seat down away from her. Ms. Baker goes on about her lesson until everybody in the class receives a text from Ghostface, who's posing with the corpses of Callie and Sawyer. Stacy's the only one to receive a text that reads, "You're going to end up just like them!"

Several hours later, the police have already interviewed the vast majority of the school. Sheriff Delaney calls for Eric, but he refuses to speak with the sheriff. Eric has an outburst in front of Delaney and storms off. The sheriff calls for Stacy next. She's seated next to Principal Smith, who asks her where she was last night. After telling the truth, Stacy said she never knew the victims too well. Mayor Dawson walks into the office and requests to speak with the sheriff alone. She pulls Delaney off of the murder case for a reason she doesn't explain and assigns two detectives, who she thinks are better qualified, to the case. Detectives Rockwell and Rivera continue Stacy's interview but not before introducing themselves. After a few minutes, Tanner speaks to Stacy for the first time. They get along pretty well until Penny and Dexter interrupt their conversation. Stacy wanted to head home alone. Along the way, she bumps into Sam Landry. Almost home, she then runs into Lisa Davis. Stacy was concerned for Lisa since her appearance wasn't great and she's been feeling horrible lately. They talk for a short while until Lisa walks away. Finally home, Stacy checks her mailbox and finds an unmarked yellow package with her name on it, written in red.

Stacy goes inside her house and opens the package. She resists the urge to throw up and looks inside the package. There, she finds entrails with a bloody note inside. "It's going to take a lot of guts to be courageous. Come to the church alone or someone else will DIE." Noticing her dad wasn't home, Stacy immediately left and walked to the church. It was dusk when Stacy made it. She turned on her phone's flashlight and entered the church. Stacy knew the church was in dire need of a new roof due to poor construction. It was nearly pitch black inside the place. Feeling uneasy, Stacy wanted to go back and leave. Before making up her mind to do so, Ghostface emerges from one of the pews and stabs her in the back. Stacy screams and runs downstairs with Ghostface giving chase. Stacy frantically runs for her life until she locks herself in a confession room. Ghostface uses his knife to bust apart the wooden door. Stacy screams once more, asking Ghostface to stop it. He peers through the holes he's made on the door and stares at Stacy before running away. A foul stench catches Stacy's attention. She turns around and looks at Callie's dead body. Stacy cries and gasps. She dials 911 and tells Detective Rockwell about what's happened. Stacy makes a run for outside, successfully eluding Ghostface's attacks, who's been waiting for her. She runs around the corner and bumps into Tanner. Trying to calm down a panicked Stacy, Tanner asked what happened. After telling him the killer attacked her in the church, Tanner goes inside as the police arrive on the scene. Stacy runs towards the detectives who have their guns drawn. She informs them of everything. Detective Rockwell enters the church and finds a wounded Tanner on the ground, sustaining a stab wound to the arm and stomach. Detective Rivera escorts Stacy to the ambulance in the meantime. Rockwell asked how this happened with Tanner replying his attacker fled downstairs. With his gun and flashlight at hand, Rockwell rushes downstairs as paramedics quickly tend to Tanner. Rockwell searches the basement and finds Callie's mangled corpse.

An hour later at the hospital, Harry rushes into Stacy's room and hugs her. Upon telling her father about Ghostface attacking her, Stacy broke down into tears. Harry repeats the word, "Ghostface" and looks confused. Stacy questions this but Harry dismisses it. Meanwhile, Tanner is recovering from his wounds with Detective Rockwell questioning him. Tanner said he saw a guy in a mask wearing a black cloak hiding in the shadows. When he approached Ghostface, he was stabbed by him.

Dexter arrives at Stacy's house and knocks on her door. After getting no answer, he prepares to leave until the door opens slowly. Dexter was hesitant to enter, but did it anyway. Assuming he might die for this, Dexter slowly investigates the house. He finds the package with the entrails inside it. Shocked at his discovery, Dexter runs to the door, only to meet Ghostface. He shuts the door and pulls out his signature knife. Dexter makes a run for the back door. Ghostface makes it there first, prompting Dexter to run down the hallway into Stacy's room. He locks the door but Ghostface manages to bust it down using his knife and bare hands. Dexter tries to open the window but Ghostface lunges at him with his knife. Dexter dodges the attack and tackles Ghostface to the ground. Unfortunately, Ghostface gains the upper hand by kicking Dexter against the window, stunning him. Ghostface gets up and proceeds to continuously bash Dexter's head against the window until it shatters. Nearly knocked unconscious, Dexter swiftly picks up a piece of broken glass and uses it to stab Ghostface in the leg. He gives Dexter one last kick to the face before grabbing his knife and running off once again.

Much like Stacy, Dexter calls 911. Rockwell and Rivera arrive and are shocked to have investigated two attacks. The next morning, Stacy, Tanner, and Dexter recover from their wounds. They must be allowed time to recover from the experience, however, so they are permitted to not go back to school until they are ready. At the hospital, Stacy and Tanner speak to each other about the attack, but want to change the subject. Stacy admired Tanner's bravery. Tanner goes in for a kiss and the two lock lips. They decide to become a couple and aren't willing to let Ghostface win. Dexter observed the kiss from his room and teases Stacy about it. Meanwhile, Ghostface begins chopping up Sawyer's dead body with a circular saw blade.
