Season 3 (3/6)


 * The Deadfast Club
 * Ports in the Storm (Corpse)
 * Endgame

Relationships

 * Although not in a relationship, Avery and Liv were close at the start of the series. Their relationship can be seen as similar to Sidney and Billy's relationship.
 * His pretentiousness in seeming to "own" Liv and speak for her is similar to Rebecca Walters making decisions despite circumstances for Sidney Prescott in Scream 4, which results in the ending of each relationship which would later prove fatal for both rude characters, ironically.
 * It was revealed that Avery had hooked up with Beth in their freshman year of high school, but he didn't call her back. This is loosely similar to Season 1 when Emma discovered Will slept with Nina after Brooke spilled the news to her, giving the impression that due to their bad actions and attachments to these people, they were on the list for the killer.
 * He shares vague similarities to Billy Loomis due to him dating Liv (who also is similar to Sidney) at the beginning as well as being culpable due to him being used by Ghostface to be suspected by Marcus Elliot.

Death
Avery was thrown over the balcony at the silent disco rave and was impaled by a spike upon landing. He is masked at the time of his fall and is later unmasked by Beth to the crowd where he is seen bleeding and convulsing until dying.

Trivia

 * Avery is a high school student at Weaver High School.
 * He is a fierce rival of Marcus Elliot. Their rivalry can be seen as similar to Billy and Randy's rivalry.
 * He is the second victim of Ghostface in Season 3, and the first to be killed in public.
 * His death pays homage to the deaths of Cici Cooper, Tyson Fox, and Rebecca Walters from the films due to them also falling to their deaths, although his is the fourth public (after Scream 2, Scream 4, and Season 2) and the first to be impaled by a spike in the franchise.
 * Although not in the opening (Deion Elliot was technically the first, but not counted seeing as he wasn’t killed by Ghostface, thus making Tommy Jenkins the opening kill), Avery is the sixth male character in the franchise to be killed during the first few moments and onscreen after Steven Orth, Phil Stevens, and Cotton Weary in the films, with Jake Fitzgerald and Tommy Jenkins in the TV series.
 * He is also the third male victim in the franchise which he is killed solo and not killed alongside anyone else, with the first being Jake Fitzgerald from Season 2 and the second being Tommy Jenkins this season.
 * Despite the differences, Avery falling, getting impaled, ultimately dying in front of Beth and the public is likely an homage from the ending scene of the Season 2 episode "Happy Birthday to Me" where Brooke Maddox is ultimately shocked and covered in blood (just like Beth) after the corpse of her ex, Jake Fitzgerald, falls down in front of her while onstage, causing panic.
 * Avery's death by impalement, especially by a rather large object, but weapon overall, pays homage to the deaths of Quinn Maddox, Will Belmont, and Jake Fitzgerald from Season 1 and 2, as well as Amir Ayoub in this season.
 * His death is also similar to Nina Patterson, Rachel Murray, Riley Marra, Clark Hudson, Seth Branson, Haley Meyers, Zoë Vaughn, and Eli Hudson from the first two seasons, as well as Casey Becker, Stu Macher, Maureen Evans, Mickey Altieri, Steven Stone, Jennifer Jolie, Olivia Morris, Trevor Sheldon, Robbie Mercer, Kate Roberts, and Charlie Walker from the films due to being hurt and being alive a few moments before quickly dying from their attacks by their killers.
