Detailed Summary
The episode begins with Ghostface holding the handsaw he used to brutally kill Madison against Harry's waist. He whimpers and closes his eyes, bracing himself to die the same way. However, the killer tilts his head before locking Harry in the room with Madison's mutilated corpse as Harry tries to scream for help.

The next morning, Stacy wakes up in her bedroom and texts Tanner good morning. She takes notice of Harry's absence and heads to school. At the same time, Penny and Eric both get out of the hospital while Ingrid is still in due to the Sheriff's power of abuse. The two text each other possible theories on who the killer is, flagging the Sheriff and Mayor as suspects. They head to school and enter Ms. Baker's psychology class. Meanwhile, Sam sits in his news van with his cameraman, Logan Stevens. Sam feels remorse for abandoning Harry and wants to take his cameraman with him to investigate. They drive off to the cabin. At the station, Rockwell and Rivera discuss the list of potential suspects in the serial killer spree. Abruptly, Rivera locks lips with Rockwell, who is shocked at the action. Rivera says she wanted to thank him for not judging her for being a rape victim. They leave the office to continue their investigation, only for Sheriff Delaney to sneak into their office and read their files. He is caught by Deputy Haverland who is told to never say a word about this ordeal.

After school, Stacy, Tanner, Dexter, Penny, Eric, Lisa and Dylan meet up at the school foyer to discuss the recent events that transpired lately. Dylan admits he misses being bullied by Garrett which triggered Penny's slight anger. With the carnival approaching, Principal Smith was the official host. Suddenly, Stacy receives an unknown call. She puts it on speakerphone, only to listen to the killer say hello. The teenagers are shocked. Stacy immediately asks Ghostface why he's doing all this. The killer replies by saying that he can't get go of the past. He then sends a recording of Harry, who yells for help. Ghostface wanted the entire group to head to the cabin without cops but not before sending them a live video feed of them. They separate, much to Dexter's chagrin, hoping to find the killer. Instead, while walking around the killer's general direction, Eric finds Ingrid's car. He looks confused before the killer pulls him inside the car and holds his mouth to block his screams as he proceeds to repeatedly stab Eric in the stomach before cutting his throat, causing him to choke on his own blood. The killer exits the car but is seen by Dexter, who is only a few feet away. The killer notices him then quickly leaves a paper before fleeing. Dexter shouts for help then the gang arrives and finds Eric's corpse. They realize how serious the situation is and use Penny's car to head to the cabin.

Sam and Logan arrive first. Reluctant to enter, Sam changes his mind and decides to leave. Before they're able to enter the van, the killer pops out from the side, brandishing his buck knife. Sam lets out a scream while Logan continues holding the camera and runs inside the cabin. Sam follows with the killer close behind him. He goes for a swipe, slashing Sam's back. He yells in pain and locks the cabin door after entering it. Logan continues filming their chase. Sam notices the secret underground door and enters it. Logan tries to follow but is pushed into the kitchen by the killer, who then locks the underground door. Sam tries to open but fails. Logan still holds his camera and aims it at the killer. He slowly approaches Logan. Sam hears him scream. Penny's car pulls into the cabin driveway when Dexter sees the news van. They slowly enter the cabin and open the trap door. Sam says the killer attacked him and his cameraman. Tanner hears a noise behind him and uses full force to turn around. Ghostface goes to stab Lisa but Tanner intervenes. He gets his hand stabbed clean through. The killer kicks him into the underground room. Lisa runs to the back door in fear while the others ran into the underground room. Ghostface runs after them with a full sprint. Tanner is pulled up by Sam and they run to the room at the end of the hall. The killer tries to go for a stab but fails as the survivors bolt the door shut. Ghostface pounds on the door then stops.

Stacy turns around and is horrified to see Madison's corpse. However, Harry is not in the room where he should be hung. Sam pulls out his phone to record his discovery. Dexter points out his insensitivity. He then faintly looks at an old chest in the darkness. Dexter opens it and gasps at looking at his old video camera he had as a child. He pulls out the SD card, hoping to look at it later. This reminds Sam of the same action in Episode 2. He hopes to publish a book using the serial killer story as its plot. Tanner gets up and Stacy tends to his wound. A variety of medical supplies in the room arouses Dexter's suspicion as not many people have access to such high amounts of medicine. With no way out, Dexter realizes the only way to leave is through the killer's path. Trapped inside, Penny begins to cry while Dylan consoles her, but is denied.

Lisa runs out through the back and finds Logan's body around the cabin's corner. She then tries to run but bumps into the killer. She quickly backs away and tries to run to the news van which is on the front side of the cabin. The killer follows her on the other side of the cabin. Lisa enters the van but realizes there are no keys. The killer suddenly appears on the other side of the driver's mirror. Lisa screams as the killer busts through the window. Lisa punches the killer in the face and uses the other door to leave. As Lisa tries to run back inside the cabin, she looks back but the killer's nowhere in sight. She makes a mad dash underneath the cabin towards the killer's lair. She notifies the gang that it's her and it's safe to come out. Dexter convinces Tanner that maybe Lisa's working with the killer to lure them out. Lisa is offended and asks again to come out so they can leave. Tanner ignores Dexter's theory and opens the door. Lisa says, "Come on!" as she leads the gang outside to Penny's car. With everybody inside, Penny starts the car but it won't move. Dylan investigates and sees that the tires were slashed. Stacy sees the killer slowly approaching Dylan. She shouts to warn him. The killer stabs Dylan in the back multiple times while Penny locks the doors to make sure the killer doesn't enter. Dylan is pressed up against the window, looking at Penny, as the killer continues stabbing him. Horrified but angry, Stacy unlocks the door and exits. Surprisingly, this causes the killer to flee into the woods. The gang uses the news van with Sam comandeering since he has the keys. Once Tanner gets a signal on his phone, he calls Sheriff Delaney. He sends units to the cabin.

Later that evening, the police are unable to locate the killer and Dylan's body. Stacy is home alone when she receives a call from the killer. He says he ran because his game isn't over yet with her. When inquired about his father, the killer sends her a voice message of him gutting Harry. Disturbed and saddened, Stacy swears she's going to kill Ghostface the next time she sees him. Intrigued, the killer says he had fun doing this a second time and is going to "intrude on someone's parade." He hangs up and is seen outside the hospital. Shortly later, Detectives Rockwell and Rivera arrive on the cabin scene. They warn Delaney that the next time he spearheads the investigation, he'll be officially prohibited in taking part of helping. The two then talk about a valuable witness: Ingrid. Delaney crawled to the top of their suspect list and send Deputy Haverland to the hospital to watch over her tonight.

The detectives receive an unknown call. It's the killer who says Haverland won't live long protecting the "old hag who knows too much." They get into their car and rush to the hospital. At this time, Haverland arrives, only to find Ingrid gone. The lights go out and the room door shuts. Haverland screams as he is stabbed once in the back. He pulls out his gun but the killer kicks it out of his hand. He then stabs Haverland in the forehead. The deputy tries to fight by throwing punches but collapses on the ground, dead. The detectives arrive and sprint to Ingrid's room. They find Haverland's gutted corpse while Ingrid watches on in her bed with her eyes wide open. She looks at the detectives in pure fear.
