Episode One: Inhospitality
We open on the Welby State Hospital. It’s late at night, but there still some people there. It’s clear that it’s open 24/7. Elliot is doing another therapy session with Bethany, who smiles at him and doesn’t say anything. Elliot tells Bethany, who is restrained to her bed, that he’s done everything in his power to help her, but she will not budge. He says that Bethany has become something of a best friend to him, who he has failed. Elliot tells Bethany that he is going to move on with his life and close Bethany’s case, as she is unredeemable.

Bethany asks Elliot what took him so long to realize this. Elliot sighs, and leaves the room, where he is approached by his superior and the man in charge of the hospital, Dr. Freedman. Freedman tells him that Bethany is going to be transferred to a maximum security facility the next morning. He says that Elliot is making the right decision to finally let Bethany go. Elliot says that he hopes that he’s right, and walks off to his office. We cut to outside, where two figures are approaching. One, who’s POV we see through, goes inside and heads to the bathroom with a backpack. The figure pulls out the Liberator A costume from the backpack; it’s Jenna Marshall.

She also pulls out a hatchet before putting on the costume, clearly getting ready to kill. When a nurse enters the bathroom, Jenna comes out and slits her throat. Jenna then goes out into the hallways. Meanwhile, the second figure goes inside through the front door and pulls out a handgun. The figure notices two clerks on the front desk and shoots them in the head; it’s Darren Wilden, who also notices four workers in the lobby. He kills two with gunshots to the heart, and the other two with shots to the head. Wilden has accurate aim, despite only having one eye.

He also starts firing gunshots in random directions, hoping to divert attention toward him. Darren has this many bullets because he is using all the handguns he salvaged from the cops back in Season 2. Jenna participates in the slaughter, stabbing and killing 3 doctors with her hatchet. Meanwhile, Dr. Freedman and Elliot hear the commotion and rush to investigate. Upon seeing the slaughter, Dr. Freedman calls 911 and alerts them. He then jumps on Jenna’s back, intending to restrain her long enough for the police to arrive. This fails when Jenna throws him off of her, and hacks his head in with the hatchet. Dr. Freedman is dead.

Horrified at the murders of his colleagues, Elliot hides behind a corner and watches as Jenna and Darren enter Bethany’s room. Bethany is confused on what has been going on until she sees the Liberator A costume on Jenna, who tells Bethany that they have a proposal for her. Bethany smiles and tells Jenna to free her, which she does. As the trio are about to leave, Elliot, unwilling to see his unstable patient free, attempts to stop them. Wilden grabs him and pins him against a wall.

However, Darren decides not to kill him, and instead throws him off a balcony to the first floor, knocking him unconscious. Darren tells Jenna and Bethany that they should have one witness left to describe what happened to the police when they arrive. Jenna agrees, though Bethany does want him dead. The trio run through the back door and escape into the woods before the police arrive, led by Daniel Cavanaugh, now sheriff, and his deputy Gareth Sullivan. They are horrified when they see the corpses everywhere. Daniel mutters “Not again…”

We cut to the Lost Woods Resort the next morning. Darren and Jenna are talking to Bethany, who asks them if they are the famous Liberators. Darren confirms this, which excites Bethany, as she’s always wanted to meet them in person, but thought she would never get too. She asks them why they busted her out of the hospital. Jenna explains that they are in need of a third Liberator, and they want to recruit Bethany to join the crusade, presenting a Liberator C costume for her (Wilden is ranked Liberator B, as he’s the longest living killer).

Bethany is overjoyed, seeing an opportunity to finally murder people again, but refuses to wear the costume. Darren asks her why. Bethany says that she’s not wearing some “Halloween costume” and everyone knows she’s on the loose anyway. However, she wants to look sexy and badass when the time comes to begin her “reunion” with murder, so she gives Jenna a list of clothes to buy her. Bethany is not murdering people wearing a hospital gown. Jenna tells Bethany that she doesn’t buy clothes, she murders and gives the orders. Bethany tells her that she always gets what she wants, and Jenna really doesn’t want to see Bethany when she’s angry; it could be really bad for her.

Impressed Bethany has the guts to threaten her, Jenna decides to buy the clothes. After Jenna leaves, Darren asks Bethany how much skill she has in a fight. Bethany admits that since she’s been confined in a hospital for the past 10 years, she’s gotten inexperienced. Darren decides that he is going to train Bethany how to handle herself. He takes Bethany over to a punching bag and gives her his knife. He tells her to stab the punching bag as many times as she can in thirty seconds. Darren says to focus her anger when she does it, and think about all the bad times she’s had. It helps to let it all out.

Bethany thinks for a moment, and then rapidly stabs the punching bag. She’s doing it very fast and swiftly, with Darren counting how many stabs she does. After thirty seconds, Bethany stops stabbing, and Darren has counted thirty-four stabs, impressing him. He says that Bethany is becoming a fast learner, and takes her to a training mat. Darren wants to test Bethany on her skills in hand to hand combat. Bethany tells him that she hasn’t taken karate lessons. Darren says she is now. He tells Bethany to punch and kick him as hard as she can.

Darren won’t fight back at first, but he will as training goes on. Before they start, Bethany comments on how cool Wilden’s eye patch is and asks why he is wearing it. Darren informs Bethany that Spencer stabbed him in the eye, and takes off the patch to show Bethany, who comments that it’s both gross and cool. Darren puts the eye patch back on and then begins training. Bethany punches Wilden across the face, which only dazes him slightly. She then tries to kick Darren in the face, but her foot doesn’t go high enough and only hits his stomach. Darren says that Bethany is much weaker than he thought, and asks how she’s ever going to be a serial killer.

This gets Bethany irritated, and she starts punching Wilden harder. Wilden starts fighting back, and slaps Bethany across the face to anger her further. Eventually, after more slaps, Bethany gets irritated enough to the point where she kicks Wilden in the face, knocking him down. Ignoring the pain, Darren laughs, and says that is exactly what he wanted to see. Bethany says that felt really good, causing pain to people who make her annoyed and angry. Darren says that he knows how that feels as well, and ends training. He takes her to another room, where she finds pictures of all the survivors. Darren asks her which ones she wants to kill.

Bethany picks Elliot (though he's not a survivor) and Charles as her top priories. She has others, but she’ll make a full “kill list” later. Bethany wants to kill Elliot because he put her through “10 years of boredom”. Darren asks her about Charles. Bethany angrily stabs Charles’ photo in response. She tells Wilden about how she loved Charles in the orphanage, and murdered Marion in part so that she could be together. Instead, Charles had to “be a dick” and get her committed to a psychiatric hospital. She’s been bored for 10 years, but now, this all changes.

Bethany vows that she going to torture Charles to death in the most painful ways she can think of when the time comes, and nothing is going to keep her from doing it. What she has planned for the others on her "kill list" will also pale in comparison, but still be very painful. Darren is intrigued by her determination, and says that she’s going to make a good partner. Just then, Jenna comes back with the clothes. She says that she had to look around for a long time to find these clothes at the store, and the line was long at the checkout.

Bethany says that’s “not her problem” Although annoyed at Bethany’s attitude, she gives her the clothes for her to change in. While Bethany goes to change, Jenna asks Darren why there are bruises on his face, and how many bullets he has left. Darren tells her about the training he put Bethany through, and how he believes she could be very valuable. Darren also tells Jenna that he used all the guns except for his personal one, which is still fully loaded. Jenna also learns about her grudge against Charles, and is intrigued to learn that she is going to torture him to death.

Jenna decides that Bethany is worth the trouble to keep around. Just then, Bethany comes back. She’s wearing a red miniskirt, high heels, red lipstick, and a very sexy top. Bethany obviously selected these clothes to make herself look badass and beautiful at the same time. Even Wilden expresses interest of how good she looks. Giving a big grin, Bethany says that she’s going to be reunited with her greatest talent, and nothing is going to stop her. Bethany lets out a crazy evil laughter, which Jenna and Wilden go along with. We cut to the Rosewood hospital, where Elliot is being checked up by a doctor.

Elliot asks him about what happened at Welby. The doctor, having seen the news, tells him about the massacre, and how Jenna and Darren escaped with Bethany. Elliot is horrified to know that his former patient is out there. He knows about how much damage she could cause if she gets the opportunity. Elliot, thinking in his head, says that he can’t just let her rampage and that Bethany is his responsibility. He decides that he’s going to have to become Sam Loomis, and put a stop to this version of Michael Myers (Bethany), one way or another. Fade to black.

Episode Two: Grudges
One month after the previous episode, we open on Eric’s home, where he is having breakfast. Just then, he hears a knock on the door. Eric opens it to find his father, Steven Kahn. He is the judge that sentenced Richard Wilden to death for “killing” the Marshalls. Steven tells Eric that he’s on a weeklong break from his job to come see Eric. He asks Eric if he angry with him for sentencing Richard to death; he informs Steven that he is, as that partly motivated the murder spree to begin.

Steven understands if Eric is angry with him, and says that he come back the day instead if he wants, and stay in a hotel nearby. Eric says that would be nice, and he needs to get what it happening in his head done. Steven walks away. We cut to the Rosewood College, where the survivors (excluding Mary, Daniel and Wilden) are gathering. We are introduced to two of the new characters. The first is Sara Harvey, Emily’s blond new girlfriend. The second is Greg Sullivan, the son of Anne and Gareth Sullivan.

Greg got to know the survivors due to his mother’s death. Eric is telling everyone about how is father is back in Rosewood. Spencer says that she would like to meet him when he has the chance, although she is wary of him for Richard’s death. Eric says he’ll make sure of that, and asks Toby on how the book he and Charles are making is going. Toby says that they made it past the first killing spree, and are halfway through the second. Spencer tells him that the first two killing sprees might not be the end of it, reminding them of the hospital massacre last month.

Everyone agrees that they remember what happened, and Sara asks who Jenna and Wilden kidnapped. Charles explains that it was Bethany Young, his psychotic childhood friend who tried to murder him. He says that the thought of facing her again horrifies him, so he’s tried to avoid thinking about it for a while. Emily says if that they do return, they’ll be ready for whatever happens. We cut to after psychology class, where Walter Harvey, Sara’s uncle is talking to her. Walter asks Sara if she still wants to keep secret why she’s living with her uncle, and offers his help.

Sara says that this is something that she needs to tell Emily alone, although she appreciates the help. Before Sara leaves, Walter reminds her that he is also devastated about what happened, and she isn’t alone in her trauma. We cut to Bethany and Wilden at the Lost Woods Resort, whom have received a text telling them that Steven is in town. Wilden says that this getting even better than he hoped, and this is a perfect opportunity to get revenge for Richard. Bethany tells him that she wants to enact the first part for her revenge today, and gives him her kill list.

The main targets are Elliot and Charles, while the secondary targets are Daniel and Toby, for being related to her first victim, Marion. The tertiary priorities on her kill list are her entire family: her father, Rick, her mother, Amy, and her brother, David. Somewhat surprised, Darren asks her if she seriously wants to murder her entire family just for sending her to an orphanage. Bethany simply responds “Yep” Wanting to actually see Bethany do this, Darren agrees to put his plan for revenge on hold and help her. He texts Jenna about the plan, and tells her to meet them at Bethany’s home later. We cut back to Rosewood College, at the gym. Maria and Aria are practicing on a training mat there.

Maria has been teaching Aria self-defense tactics to use against Jenna should she ever return. Aria is barefoot and wearing a karate outfit whenever she does this. She is wearing a black belt, but she just does that to make her look cool. The girls have a fun brawl, throwing a few moves, but being careful not to really hurt each other. Mike and Toby are watching from the bleachers. Mike says that he never thought he’d be seeing Aria taking fighting lessons. Toby asks why not. Mike reveals that Aria hated violence in her early teenage years, and didn’t want to watch any horror films.

Mike asks Toby about his relationship with Maria. Toby informs him that he and Maria broke up two days ago. Mike is surprised, and asks Toby why he didn’t tell anyone. Toby says that he did, and Mike must not have heard him. He explains that he and Maria just didn’t progress enough in their relationship, and eventually, they broke off. They are still friends, however. Toby says that he’s probably going to be busy making the book with Charles now. Mike says that while they’ve been able to move on, he’s worried about Aria, especially if a third killing spree happens.

Mike reveals that Aria has refused to date anyone following Ezra’s death, insisting that Ezra is the only boy she would ever love. Mike says that being in love with someone is an important part of your life. Toby asks Mike if he’s ever dated anyone after Mona’s death. Mike confesses that he hasn’t, and Toby suggests that Aria could still live on without a husband. Mike then takes out a photo of him and Mona, showing it to Toby, admitting that he still misses her. Toby hugs Mike to take the depression away from him. Back on the training mat, Maria tells Aria that she’s involving into a good fighter. Aria asks Maria if she really thinks so.

Maria says that Aria has been following her instructions, been taking the training well, been an eager student. Aria thanks Maria, who asks Aria if she is able to do a high kick. Maria tells Aria to aim for her face, but steps back so that Aria won’t actually hit her. Aria lifts her foot up as high as she can, which gets very close to hitting Maria’s face, but coming just short. Maria says that Aria is now a “100% badass” The two girls giggle at the thought. We cut to Emily’s home, where Mary is home alone, as Emily and Charles haven’t come home yet. She’s looking at a picture of Archer.

Mary starts to cry, while experiencing flashbacks about what happened. It’s clear that Mary has been very depressed since Archer’s murder, partly due to wanting to sacrifice herself, but not getting the chance. Just then, Emily and Charles come home with Toby, who is here to work on the book with Charles. Noticing how sad Mary is, Charles asks her what’s wrong. Mary says that she’s thinking about Archer again, and wishes that she had died instead of him. Toby says that Archer died to save her life, although not willingly.

Mary says that she’s had a bad life, and Emily and Charles are really the only things inspiring her to live on. She contemplated suicide, twice, in her youth due to her abuse by her parent. We then cut to Bethany’s house, where we are introduced to Rick, Amy and David, whom are a perfectly normal family. They’re having dinner together, talking about Bethany’s escape. Rick is telling Amy and David that they should leave Rosewood for a little while until Bethany is caught. Amy is depressed and disturbed that they have to do this because of their own sister, and goes off to the bathroom on her own, where the shower also is.

Before she can use the bathroom, she notices a window open. Jenna, who was hiding behind the shower curtain, grabs Amy and holds the knife to her throat. She tells him not to scream, or he will die. Amy silently acknowledges this. Back in the living room, Rick and David are wondering what’s taking Amy so long. Just then, Wilden pops out with his handgun. He shoots Rick and David in the leg. They scream out in pain. Wilden tells his partners to come out, which they do. The Young family is shocked to see their daughter, dressed as a sexy serial killer.

Wilden forces the trio on their knees at gunpoint. Bethany comes up to David, who he tries to plead for her to stop this. Bethany refuses, stating that she’s been waiting for this for way too long. She takes out a spear, and stabs through her brother’s face, impaling him. David Young is dead. Rick and Amy are horrified, not just at their son’s death, but by their own daughter’s brutality. Bethany walks to Amy next, who asks her why she’s doing this. Bethany reminds Rick and Amy that they abandoned her and sent her to an orphanage, and that was very shitty of them.

Amy says that she’s so sorry, and she’ll let Bethany back into the family if she wants. They’ll do anything. Bethany says that she had her chance, now, it’s time for payback. She stomps/stabs her high heel into her mother’s throat, and twists it. Amy Young is dead. Bethany then walks up to Rick, who is nearly completely speechless at what has happened to his wife and son. Rick begs Bethany, who is taking out David’s baseball bat from the closet, and tells her that his daughter that he loves her.

Bethany shakes her head, stating that she “doesn’t love him” and raises the spear. Giving up, Rick bursts into tears, horrified by his fate and what his daughter has become, but asks her if she regrets any of this. Bethany replies “nope” and hits her father in the head. She then bashes Rick’s head in with the baseball bat, hitting him a total of 12 times. Bethany gets more vicious for every hit. Rick Young is dead, and with that, Bethany has murdered her entire family. Bethany looks down at her family’s corpses, and begins to insanely laugh. Even Jenna and Wilden look somewhat disturbed, both of whom loved their families.

Bethany turns to Wilden and tells him to stop being a baby, reminding him that he burned a child (Nancy) alive and “didn’t give a shit”. Wilden says that this is true. Bethany then addresses Jenna, and tells her that she is ready to give her full allegiance in exchange for being guaranteed the opportunity to murder Daniel, Toby, Elliot and Charles. Jenna decides to first make a call before she answers Bethany’s proposal. We cut to Emily’s home, where the family is about to go to bed. Just then, the house phone rings; Charles answers it to hear Jenna’s voice say “Miss me, Emily?”

Recognizing Jenna’s voice, Charles informs Jenna that she is speaking to Charles. Jenna says that’s fine, and tells him to pass on this message to Emily. She’s done hiding, and that the hospital massacre last month made that clear. Charles asks her why she didn’t do anything for a month afterward. Jenna then gives the phone to Bethany, who introduces herself to Charles, who is horrified to hear his psychotic childhood girlfriend. He asks her what she wants. Bethany reminds him that he exposed her involvement in Marion’s death, despite the fact she loved him. Charles tells Bethany that he’s not going to love a psychopath like her, and she deserved whatever happened to her in the last 10 years.

Bethany informs him that she’s made a kill list, and Charles is right on the top. She says that by the time she, Wilden, and Jenna are finished, Charles and all the Rosewood survivors will be dead. Charles says that she’ll never win. Bethany simply says “We’ll see” and hangs up. Charles goes to Mary and Emily, who ask him who was on the phone. Back at Bethany’s home, Jenna accepts her proposal. She gives Bethany the official title of Liberator C (Wilden has the title and rank of Liberator B, as he was promoted when he survived season 2). Bethany lets out a huge, devious smile. Smash to black.

Episode 3: Choke on it
We open on the police station the next morning, where Daniel and Gareth are talking to Elliot. It becomes clear that the news of the murder of Bethany’s family has been exposed. Daniel and Gareth, knowing of Bethany’s escape, are turning to Elliot for information about Bethany. Elliot tells them about how Bethany was his patient for 10 years, and is extremely obsessed with psychopathy and murder. Daniel realizes that this is why the massacre at the hospital happened: they were recruiting Bethany to join their cause.

Gareth says Jenna is a very smart killer, and she’s clearly not messing around this time. Daniel asks Elliot if Bethany has any specific grudges against someone. Elliot explains that in his therapy sessions with Bethany, she has shown extreme hatred toward her own family, Charles, Toby and Daniel, who is surprised to learn that he and his son could be potential targets. Daniel thanks Elliot for his time, and says that they’re going to be talking again tomorrow. Elliot leaves.

We cut to Eric’s house, where Spencer has been sleeping with him. While the duo are having breakfast, Steven shows up at the door again, and asks if he can come in this time. Eric lets him in and introduces him to Spencer. Steven says that he can see why Eric likes her. Spencer thanks for the compliment. Steven has breakfast with them until Eric brings up Richard again. Steven sighs, but decides to tell them what happened. Steven admits to them that he is a corrupt judge, and has declared people guilty of false crimes before.

This is because that he was bribed by some powerful figures, including Alison’s uncle, who is a U.S. senator. As Richard was a complete stranger to him, Steven didn’t have a problem sentencing him to death. This changed when he heard of the Rosewood murders, especially about Noel/John being a killer, and Richard’s motivation for Wilden. Steven has stopped sentencing innocent people of crimes now out of guilt. He says that he’s sorry for what he did, as it technically contributed to Nancy’s death.

The mention of her little sister causes Spencer to flashback to Nancy being burned alive. She does her best to contain her tears. Seeing Spencer’s face, Steven apologies for mentioning Nancy. Spencer says it’s alright. Steven asks them if they can talk about Noel, asking Eric if he knew Noel was John Marshall. Eric says that he did, and asks Steven if he did as well. Steven says that he forgot about who exactly Noel was biologically related too, and asks how they didn’t suspect him before his reveal. Eric confesses that he couldn’t bring himself to suspect his foster brother, who convinced him that he was innocent and was going to be framed.

Steven admits that he might have done that same if he was in Eric’s position. He then asks Spencer how Noel behaved in his reveal. Spencer informs him that Noel was heartless, just murdered Emily’s adoptive mother (Pam Fields), and was hell-bent on killing her, Nancy and Emily. Steven is very saddened to hear about how his adoptive son behaved, and asks Eric if he was the one who ended up killing him. After some hesitation, Eric simply nods and walks away, clearly not wanting to do this anymore.

We cut to Rosewood College, where the survivors, and Sara and Greg, are meeting. Charles is informing everybody of the call he got from Jenna and Bethany. Everyone is shocked to hear of this. Toby asks Charles if he called the police. He says that he didn’t, as he was too panic stricken when Bethany called him. He begins to cry at the thought of having to face her again. Toby comforts him, explaining that they have a common enemy in Bethany, as she murdered his mother. Maria says that this would be Wilden and Jenna would be back as well. The survivors are very worried at the thought of a third murder spree. Sara gets an idea, and invites everyone to come over for dinner at her home.

Greg asks why they are talking about dinner plans if the Liberators could be back. Sara says that they could the meeting as a little pep rally. She notices the paranoia in everyone and points out they could use to reassert their confidence. After some debate, they decide to go along with it. Greg asks if he talk to Spencer for a minute. They go sit on a bench nearby. Greg says that he’s not a survivor like Spencer, and he wants to tell her why he’s been interested in them. Spencer says she’s all ears. Greg says that she’s the only one who really knew his mother, who was just trying to help people.

Spencer says that she never did figure out why exactly Sullivan kidnapped her, though she assumed it was blackmail. Greg confirms this, and explains that Sullivan threatened to kill him if Sullivan didn’t help. Spencer tells Greg that she had forgiven Sullivan a while ago, and that she was a good person. Greg smiles when he hears this, and asks if he can come with the survivors and Sara for the dinner. Spencer says that Greg is a survivor too, even though he wasn’t involved in the last two killing sprees. Greg thanks her and walks off.

We cut to sometime after school at the Lost Woods Resort. Bethany, Wilden and Jenna are meeting up, talking about the gathering coming up tonight at Sara’s house. They agree that it’s a perfectly good opportunity to cause chaos, and decide to kill a survivor there. Jenna says that she knows how she’s going to do it, and takes suggestions for a survivor death. Bethany suggests that Jenna kill Eric, reminding her that he decapitated her brother, John, in the first story. Bethany also tells him not to kill Daniel or Toby, as they are on her kill list. Jenna says she’s been planning a long time to get revenge on Eric, and that it is a good suggestion.

She asks Wilden for his recommendation. Wilden suggests that they kill Maria, pointing out that she is teaching Aria self-defense, and she is every bit as “pesky” as her sister, Mona, was. He also suggests that the longer she stays around, the stronger Aria might become. Before we see Jenna’s decision, we cut to Aria’s house, where Mike finds her looking at three photos on the wall. They are Ella, Byron and Ezra. Mike asks Aria what he is doing. She asks Mike if she knows why she is taking the self-defense lessons with Maria.

Mike tells Aria that it’s to defend herself, but Aria says he’s wrong; it’s too defend him and her friends. Aria tells her that she’s lost both her parents, and the only boy she ever loved. She says that she can’t risk losing Mike or anyone else to Jenna. Aria walks up to Mike and asks him to make a promise. She begs him to promise that he will not die and leave her, as Mike is the only family member, and personal loved one she has left. Aria confesses that if Mike died, she might lose her remaining will to live.

Mike promises, and tells Aria she’s not alone in her grief: Ella and Byron were his parents too, and Ezra was his friend. The siblings hug, showing their love and desire to protect each other. We cut to the gathering at Sara’s home at night. Mary, Daniel, Spencer, Toby, Greg, Sara, Aria, Mike, Maria, Eric, Charles and Walter are there. Sara’s home is shown to be bigger than the average one, and has a rather large dinner table, where everyone is seated. On the table is several kinds of food, like mashed potatoes, salad, you name it.

Walter says that this was pretty expensive, and they aren’t rich, but he doesn’t mind and wants everyone to have a good time. Just then, Emily stands up. She thanks Sara for organizing all of this and wants to take the time to think about those who have died in the past. Emily brings her glass up and calls for a toast for those they have lost, naming especially her adoptive parents, Archer, Ezra, Paige, Nancy, Hanna, Mona, Sullivan, and even Alison. Everyone then raises their glasses of drinks, tap and drink. Greg thanks Emily for mentioning Sullivan.

Emily says that’s it’s not a problem. Just then, Sara stands up. She says that she’s been keeping a secret from everyone, something very tragic. Walter smiles, glad that his daughter is about to confess her past. Sara says that there is a reason that she lives with her uncle, instead of her parents. However, before she can say this, Mike starts coughing, violently. Mary asks Mike if he’s alright. Mike stands up, and blood and foam starts coming out of his mouth. He’s struggling to breathe; Maria realizes that he is chocking. As Eric shouts for everyone to assist Mike, he falls to the ground, vomiting, and it quickly becomes clear that he has been poisoned. His face also starts turning purple.

Aria screams and runs to her brother, whose entire body is shaking. Toby tries to help Mike, but Aria, completely horrified, pushes Toby and away and wraps Mike in her arms. As everyone watches in horror, Daniel calls in all police units and Aria screams at Mike to stay clinging to life until the police arrive. Mike, however, is not staying that way. Knowing this, Mike uses his remaining strength and to point an accusing finger at a cup of tea, which he had drunk just before being poisoned. Walter picks up the cup and examines it curiously. This causes Aria to think that Mike is accusing Walter.

Turning her attention back to Mike, she reminds him about his earlier promise to stay alive, no matter what, and says that she can’t go on without him. Aria begs him to honor his promise. Mike strokes Aria’s face and mutters “Go…on…” before his eyes roll over. Aria screams at Mike not to leave her, but it’s too late. Mike Montgomery, Season 1 survivor and brother of Aria Montgomery, is dead. Aria is completely distraught and lays her face on her brother’s chest, sobbing her eyes out.

Slowly, and showing rage in her eyes, Aria stands up and looks at the cup Walter is holding. She demands to know what he put in the cup. He frantically says that he just put tea in there. Just then, everyone’s phones ding. Toby reads a text message that says “Something in the tea disagreed with him. Not everyone likes poison, I guess”. Daniel realizes that it’s from Jenna; she poisoned Mike’s tea when nobody was looking. Everyone looks at each other in horror and suspicion. Aria closes her brother’s eyes and resumes mourning. Spencer and Emily try to comfort her as the episode ends.

Episode 4: New Strikes
The police are all over Sara’s house, including Gareth and Daniel. Some of the survivors are being questioned about what happened, as well as Walter and Sara. Aria is still distraught about Mike’s death, but isn’t breaking down anymore. Just then, Mike’s corpse is brought out of the building and loaded away in a forensic van, which drives off. After the van goes out of sight, the drive goes smoothly at first. However, at that moment, the car lets out a large pop.

It is then revealed that there were spikes placed on the road, and the tires have popped, causing the car to halt. The driver gets out of the car to examine the damage. When he is distracted looking at the tires, Bethany runs up to him from behind. She stabs the driver in the back of the neck, killing him. Bethany then goes into the back of the van and finds the body bag containing Mike’s corpse. She opens it to see what the poison has done to him.

Bethany comments that Jenna is a professional, also revealing that she gave her the idea of putting the spikes on the road. Bethany then drags the body bag out into the woods, most likely taking it to Lost Woods Resort. We cut to Toby’s home, where Daniel is comforting him over Mike’s death. Toby says that they were starting to get along pretty well, but then Mike is dead, and now Bethany is back. Daniel agrees both are bad, as he correctly suspects that they might be targeted as well. This is why that he and Gareth met someone.

Just then, Elliot comes up. Toby asks Elliot who he is. Elliot explains that he is Bethany’s therapist, and he wants to help the survivors stop Bethany. He considers her his responsibility, as he failed to make her let go of her psychopathy. Toby says that this could be very useful, and asks him what he knows about Bethany. Elliot says that she’s been talking about getting her revenge and escaping for a long time, and confirms that Daniel and Toby are some of the people she’s been talking about.

Elliot shows them that he has a handgun. Surprised, Daniel asks Elliot where he got it. Elliot says that after recovering from the hospital massacre, he got it from an old friend of his, Dylan, planning to use it to stop Bethany. Daniel says that he would question Elliot about the gun more, but since there are three serial killers out there, he’ll let him keep it. Elliot says that since Charles is at the top of the list, he should go meet him, asking for his address. At that moment, we cut to the Lost Woods Resort. Bethany is dragging in the body bag with Mike’s corpse.

Jenna and Wilden come up, and look down at Mike’s corpse. Jenna says that this is probably her finest work yet, suggesting that Aria is suffering a mental breakdown by now. Wilden agrees, and tells her that he has discovered something on the Scream Wiki, where he has gone online to look up ideas sometimes. Bethany asks what it is. Wilden says that some idiot user named DCN1989 made a mocking fanfic about him and Jenna, who asks what happens in it. Wilden says Jenna gets impaled, and he dies an extremely brutal death at the hands of the user’s real name: Donald Newton, a late 20’s man with a big red sword.

Jenna asks if Wilden wants to go murder Donald for mocking her and him. Wilden informs Jenna that he does. Jenna gives him permission, and he goes off. Bethany asks Jenna why she had her collect Mike’s corpse. She says that these are “trophies” for her success, and she plans to collect the corpses of survivors, decapitate them, and post their severed heads on pikes in a hallway. She plans to have Emily walk down this hallway for the final showdown. Jenna then decapitates Mike’s corpse and puts his severed head on a pike.

Jenna then tells Bethany that she’s earned her trust by now, and knows that she is committed to the cause. Bethany says that as long as she gets to murder everyone on her kill list, she’s good. Jenna then says that it’s time to share Bethany the real story about herself. Jenna takes off her mask, without showing her face to the audience, which makes Bethany intrigued and surprised. We cut to Donald’s home, where we see him working on his computer. Next to him is Noah Ben-Maor (The Noah Killer), Donald’s best friend and fellow writer.

Donald is showing Noah the fanfic, who says that Donald really shouldn’t have done that. He asks why not. Noah says that if Wilden or Jenna see it, they’re going to be as pissed as hell. If he gets his neck twisted/broken or something, he’s blaming Donald. He says that’s very funny, and says that Jyle will protect them. Donald takes Noah upstairs and shows him that his Jyle Venedict/Chromeface costume is in his closet, which was homemade. Noah is impressed by how scary that looks, but says that in real life, Donald would stand no chance against Wilden.

Donald says that Noah hasn’t seen him in action, otherwise, he wouldn’t say that. Before leaving, Noah asks Donald why he wrote the fanfic, and if he really is Nancy’s father. Donald says that he just hates people who murder children, and admits that he wouldn’t have sex with someone 20 years older than him. Noah then goes outside and into his car, trying to drive off (Note: I do not know how to drive in real life yet). However, at that moment, Wilden, who was hiding in the back seat, begins strangling him. Noah tries to activate the car’s loud horn, but Wilden prevents him from doing so by twisting/breaking his neck.

Noah Ben-Maor, best friend of Donald Newton and author of Pretty Little Screamers, is dead. Darren then goes up to Donald’s house and sneaks in through an open window. He goes up to Donald’s room to find him, but instead finds the Jyle Venedict costume. Wilden gets an idea. Back downstairs, Donald is working on his next fanfic, Scream Tarvender: Episode 5, when he hears a noise behind him. Donald turns around, only to be brutally impaled by Jyle Venedict/Chromeface with a big red sword, though not fatally, not yet. Donald collapses, looking horrified at his own costume.

“Jyle” then takes off his mask, revealing Wilden underneath. Donald asks him why he’s doing this. Wilden berates Donald for making him and Jenna so easily slain and defeated by him in his fanfic. Donald needs to be punished for his arrogance, as he punished Noah, just for being friends with him. Donald is further horrified when he realizes Noah is dead. Wilden then starts kicking Donald several times on the ground, stating that a weak horror nerd can’t do this to him. He tries to fight back, but is much too weak from his impalement to do so.

Wilden then raises the sword and impales it through Donald’s right eye, like his own death in the fanfic. Donald Newton, best friend of Noah Ben-Maor, and author of The Death of the Liberators, is dead. Wilden then takes off the costume, and goes onto Donald’s account (as he’s still logged in). Wilden gets into Donald’s blogs, and replaces the death scene of him and Jenna, with that of Noah and Donald’s instead. He then takes a photo of Donald’s corpse and uploads it to the fanfic.

After dragging Noah’s corpse into the house, Wilden takes out a barrel of gasoline and dumps it all over the house, the two bodies. He then looks at Jyle’s costume and considers keeping it. Wilden decides not to, believing Jyle is the “worst killer ever”, lights the gasoline with a match, and throws the costume into the fire. This burns down the entire house, including Noah and Donald’s corpses. The screen zooms in as Jyle’s mask burns in the flames. We then cut to Aria’s house, where she is looking the photos she hung up on the wall. Aria picks up a photo of Mike and adds it. She has now lost her entire family and her brother. Just then, she gets a text on her phone. It’s from Jenna, who sends her a photo of Mike’s severed head on the pike.

With it are some words: “My finest work yet. I always love playing with my favorite doll.” Aria texts back that “I AM NOT YOUR FUCKING DOLL” Jenna responds with “Yes you are. You always will be, and I’ll always love it” Angry and devastated that her loved ones are dead, and that she is being used as entertainment, Aria begins to destroy her own room. She rips up papers, knocks furniture over, and lets out some screams. In her rampage, she ends up ripping a photo of her and Byron. Eventually, Aria stops destroying everything and looks at the damage she’s done. She then thinks back to her times with Mike.

During this, we see his speech to Aria and Mona during their fight in Season 1, Mike and Aria reuniting after the latter was locked in a coffin, and Mike’s promise not to die on the same day he did, in fact, die. Aria tearfully mutters “Why didn’t you keep your promise?” and breaks down again. She cries and screams on the floor. This time, she is alone and nobody is around to comfort her. No father, no mother, no Ezra, and no brother. They’re all dead. We cut to Emily’s home, where she, Charles and Mary are being introduced to Elliot by Toby. Elliot tells them about how he’s here to help.

Mary says that she would be skeptical, but since Elliot got attacked in the hospital massacre, and that he’s been taking care of Bethany for 10 years, she could understand his desire to help. She asks Emily and Charles for their opinions. They decide to let him help, knowing that Elliot has more knowledge about Bethany than anyone, and that the handgun will be useful. Mary asks Elliot to tell them about Bethany. Elliot tells her that Bethany is totally psychotic, more than any killer they’ve faced before, including Jenna and Wilden.

Emily says there is no way that is possible. Charles agrees with Elliot because of his earlier experience. He tells Toby that they are going to have to put their book on hold for now. They’ll work on that after the three killers are defeated. Toby agrees. We cut to Eric visiting Spencer at her home. She says that she knew that this would happen again, and is depressed at Mike’s death. Eric tells her that Mike was his friend too, and that he shares Spencer’s trauma. He loves her, and he always has. Spencer looks at him for a bit, and kisses him. Eric kisses her back.

The couple start taking off their clothes, and begin having sex on Spencer’s bed. During this, we see Bethany watching them from a window. She thinks to herself what sex feels like, as Bethany has never had sex before due to her time in Welby. Bethany decides to see what it feels like. She walks off. We cut to Eric’s home, where Steven is starting to eat pie for dinner, and is also waiting for Eric to come home. Just then, he hears Eric coming back and opens the door, letting him in.

After sitting back down next to Eric, Steven notices something strange about him. Eric asks what it is. Steven says that his voice sounds different, and he looks taller than he last saw him. Eric says that Steven is a good observer, and that there is something that he needs to know. Steven asks what it is; “Eric” then removes his face, revealing that he is actually Wilden in disguise, causing Steven to go into a brief state of shock. Wilden reveals his full name and his reason for coming here. He sentences Steven to death for causing the murder of Richard Wilden.

Horrified, Steven tries to flee, but Darren grabs him and pulls him back into the chair. Wilden then slices his throat open with the sword. Steven gasps for breath momentarily before bleeding to death. Judge Steven Kahn, father of Eric Kahn, is dead. Wilden smiles in amusement, taking pleasure that he has avenged his brother’s demise. He then notices the real Eric coming back with Spencer, and hides. Eric opens the door, and is surprised to find it unlocked. Worried, Eric calls for his father; he and Spencer go into the dining room to find Steven’s corpse. Just then, Wilden jumps out.

He stabs Eric in the shoulder, and throws him aside. Spencer stands face to face with Darren. He says that he’s been waiting a while to see her again. Spencer says that she’s been waiting a while too, and she hasn’t forgotten about what he’s done. Spencer then punches Wilden in the face. Wilden goes to stab Spencer, but she dodges. Eric gets up and tackles Darren, who throws him off of him. Spencer tackles Wilden against a wall. He pushes Spencer off of him, headbutts her, and kicks her in the stomach.

Eric and Spencer get up and charge at Darren at the same time, but he pulls his handgun and holds them at gunpoint. He tells Spencer that their rivalry will end someday. Not today, but someday. However, Darren asks Spencer if she is willing to reconsider his offer to join him; Spencer responds with a flat “Fuck you” Wilden says that Spencer is the worst daughter ever, but Spencer counters that Darren is the worst father ever. Wilden then addresses Eric, and points the gun at his head; however, Wilden says that he can’t kill him, as Jenna wants to do it herself, as revenge for John’s death.

Eric asks him what’s taking her so long to do it already. Wilden says that Jenna is saving the best for last, and Eric has been lucky due to plot armor. Jenna is now ready to finish everything, and by the time they are finished, all the Rosewood survivors will die. For now, Eric and Spencer will be saved for later. Wilden then runs off, holding his handgun out to make sure he isn’t being pursued. Eric then walks over to Steven’s corpse, and starts to cry. Spencer comforts him and we fade to black.

Episode 5: Miss me, Charles?
We cut to the Thornhill Lodge, where Bethany and Jenna are waiting for Wilden to arrive back from killing Steven. During this, Bethany tells Jenna about spying on Eric and Spencer having sex, and says she is very interested in it. Jenna asks why. Bethany says that she’s never had sex before, due to her time in Welby, and wants to know how it feels. She then walks seductively toward Jenna, who asks her if she wants to have sex with her. Bethany admits that she does. Before Jenna can decide on this, Wilden returns and tells them about everything that he’s done, including Noah and Donald’s deaths.

Jenna says that Wilden is proving to be as good as last time, and he’s always been the best. Bethany looks unhappy that Jenna is impressed with him more than her. Darren says that they’re not even close to being finished yet and asks Jenna for their next move. Jenna says that it will soon be time for a long awaited move, and she’s going to initiate this by killing another survivor. Bethany asks who it will be. Jenna says that she’s still thinking about it. Darren asks if he can show Jenna something before she makes her move. Jenna says sure. They walk off.

We cut to Maria’s home, where she is being visited by Aria, who is still devastated from her breakdown yesterday. Maria lets Aria sit on the couch and asks how she’s been doing. Aria tells her about her breakdown, and how she has grown hopeless about living on. Aria then reveals that she is considering committing suicide, as she wants to end it all and go in peace. Shocked, Maria says that Aria can’t do that. Aria asks why not, as it would save her a lot of misery.

Maria says that Aria is giving in to Jenna if she does that, and asks Aria if she knows why she trained her. Aria asks her why. Maria admits that she felt like committing suicide over Mona’s death, but stopped because she knew that if she did it, it would just give Jenna and the other Liberators more pleasure. Maria insists that committing suicide is the worst thing Aria could do, and implores her not to. Aria thinks about it, eventually asking Maria what she should do instead. Maria tells her to fight back instead of letting them win, and don’t give them the pleasure.

Aria asks her if this is why she offered to train her. Maria says that it was, and tells her that if she commits suicide, Aria might be relieved of pain, she won’t. Maria will blame herself for not doing enough to stop her friend’s death, and that she’s lost enough people already. She then gives Aria some anti-depression pills to help herself with. Aria says that she doesn’t want to upset Maria, and that she is still very conflicted on what to do. She says that she needs some time alone to think. Before Aria leaves, Maira demands that Aria promise not to commit suicide, blocking the door. Aria promises Maria that she won’t, and leaves.

We cut to Elliot’s home, where Charles is talking to him. Charles asks Elliot how many bullets are in the gun. Elliot looks at it and says there are eight, more than enough to get the job done. Charles says that if they run into more than just Bethany, the situation could get much worse, more than one handgun could handle. Elliot points out that there are 8 bullets against three killers, though he admits that defeating the Liberators is not that simple.

Just then, Elliot’s phone rings; it’s Bethany, who asks if they really think they can take her. Elliot asks Bethany if she’s here. She says that she’s not, not yet anyway. She’s busy looking at something “amazing” with Wilden. Elliot tells Bethany to give herself up. Bethany laughs at him, and says that she is way too happy with what she’s done so far to stop now, but she feels in a good mood to play around. If Charles and Elliot stick around, maybe she’ll have a date with them.

She hangs up. Charles asks Elliot what Bethany said. Elliot responds that “we have a guest” We then cut to the Thornhill Lodge, where Wilden takes Jenna and Bethany outside a room. Inside the room is two vicious looking hounds that Wilden has been keeping. Jenna asks Wilden what he is doing with those hounds. He explains that he intends to use them in his final showdown with Spencer; after he subdues her, Darren won’t kill her right away, but drag her over to where his hounds are being kept. Wilden reveals that he has started starving the hounds, hoping to make them bloodthirsty and devour Spencer alive.

Darren says that he hopes that the hounds eat Spencer’s eyes first, as punishment for taking his right eye last season. Jenna says that Wilden is a very creative man. Feeling jealous, Bethany reminds them that she murdered her family. Jenna says that they know, they saw it with their own eyes. She then announces that she has chosen her next survivor to be killed, in preparation for the “long awaited move” We cut to Sara’s home, where Emily is hanging out with her and Walter. Walter apologizes about Mike’s death, and says that he had no idea that someone had poisoned the tea that he made for him.

Emily says she believes him, and it would be too obvious anyway. She then asks Sara what she was going to tell her before Mike was poisoned. Sara admits that she’s been keeping a secret from Emily, and this is about why she lives with Walter, instead of her parents. Emily asks what the secret is. Sara says that she felt comfortable revealing it last time because everyone was together and it was a scene of joy before Mike was poisoned. Now, she feels down and doesn’t want to reveal it yet, but promises that she will soon.

We cut to nighttime at Elliot’s home, where Charles and Elliot are preparing for Bethany to arrive. Charles has sent a text to Mary that he is staying after at Elliot’s because he has a nice house, and they are getting along good as an excuse. They have locked the front door and the windows and Charles is armed with a butcher knife. As they wait, they hear a door creaking open. Elliot asks Charles if he unlocked the back door; Charles then realizes that he forgot to lock it, and Bethany is in the house.

Just then, Bethany runs up from behind. She stabs Elliot in the stomach, wounding him and causing him to drop his gun, which she kicks away. Bethany then looks at Charles, and asks if she missed him. In response, Charles dives for the gun, but Bethany tackles him. She says that there was nothing wrong with them being together, but Charles had to be a baby over one little death. Charles elbows Bethany in the face, and tells her that she’ll never be the girl for him.

Bethany and Charles grab each other, and get into a fist fight. Meanwhile, the wounded Elliot notices the fight is being taken away from where his gun is, and crawls toward it. As he does, Elliot mutters “I am too old for this” Despite Charles slamming a beer bottle on her head, Bethany manages to overpower Charles, and begins punching him several times in the face. She asserts that girls will always be better than boys, and questions why she even loved Charles to begin with. She raises her knife to stab him, but then remembers her plan to torture him to death.

Bethany tries to kidnap Charles and drag him away to do so, but Elliot manages to reach his gun and shoot at Bethany three times. The third one hits her and causes her to fall. When Elliot limps over to where Bethany fell, he finds her gone. Charles informs Elliot that he shot Bethany in the shoulder, and she ran off without him. Elliot then gives Charles his phone to call for help, stating that next time, they’re going to have to be more careful on how they handle this. Charles then calls Daniel and tells him what happened.

Meanwhile, Aria is talking in her home, seemingly to herself. She says that she’s been thinking about what to do for a long time. She says that she went to Maria for help, and she gave her a logical option, but she isn’t certain about what do to. It is then revealed that Aria is talking to a hallucination of Mike, whose face is purple from his poisoning. His voice is also somewhat disoriented. “Mike” points out a drawer and tells Aria to open it; she does so to find a straight razor. Aria asks “Mike” if she wants her to commit suicide. “Mike” tells Aria that he misses her, and he wants her back.

Aria says that she isn’t sure about this, due to Maria’s pleading that she and all her friends will be hurt if Aria commits suicide. “Mike” concludes that Aria needs more support. Just then, a hallucination of a completely disemboweled Ezra appears. It’s quite disturbing to look at, especially his hollowed out stomach. “Ezra” tells Aria if she ever loved him, she would do as Mike says. They want to “reunite” with her in the afterlife. Aria is clearly horrified at seeing Ezra, and says that she isn’t sure. “Ezra” tells “Mike” that Aria needs some more motivation.

“Mike” agrees. Just then, hallucinations of Byron and Ella appear. Byron is covered with his own blood, from bleeding to death, and Ella still has the sword impaled through her mouth. Aria is surrounded by her dead family and boyfriend. They all order Aria repeatedly to “join them” Aria starts crying, and begs them to leave her alone. As they repeat the chant for Aria to “join them” Aria is backed into the corner by the hallucinations. It’s clear that she’s too terrified to remember the anti-depression pills. She then takes out the straight razor and points it at her wrists. Before we see if she commits suicide, we cut to Mary’s home, where she is waiting for Emily and Charles.

Just then, her phone rings. She answers it to find Jenna on the other end, who asks Mary how she’s been doing. Mary grabs her crowbar, which Jenna is aware of, and tells her that it’s not going to help. She brings up about when Mary tried to sacrifice herself to save Archer; Jenna says that she’s going to give Mary another chance for that. Jenna then hangs up, and appears behind Mary with a pitchfork. Just as she spins around, Jenna stabs the pitchfork into Mary’s chest, impaling her to a wall. Mary is still barely clinging to life on the wall. Jenna tells Mary to look on the bright side; at least she won’t miss Archer anymore.

Jenna then stabs the pitchfork into Mary’s throat, and twists it, decapitating her. Mary Drake, mother of Emily and Charles Drake, is dead. Just then, Jenna hears Emily coming with Sara, who decided to stay with Emily for the night. Jenna grabs Mary’s severed head and runs off through the back door, knowing that Emily will recognize Mary’s corpse due to her clothes. When Sara and Emily enter, they see Mary’s headless corpse. As Jenna predicted, Emily quickly realizes its Mary.

Emily flips out. She runs to her mother’s corpse and cries over it. Just then, she gets a phone call. Finally finished with Jenna’s bullshit, Emily screams that she is a “fucking coward” and demands she show herself already. Sara looks surprised by the anger Emily is showing in her voice. Jenna tells Emily to control her temper, and says that if she wants to finish this early, then she should listen up. Jenna has a “proposal” that will change everything. Before we see what it is, we cut to black.

Episode 6: Last Stand
Continuing immediately where the last episode left off, Jenna gives Emily a proposal. She says that Emily can show up tomorrow night at Thornhill Lodge. Emily asks what happens if she goes there. Jenna replies that the two of them will fight to the death. She wants to kill the final girl now instead of leaving her until the very end. Jenna says that Emily can end this early if she comes, but reminds her of the outcome of their last battle in the Season 2 finale. She says that like last time, Emily must be completely alone and unarmed.

Emily accepts the challenge, and Jenna hangs up, telling Emily to prepare herself. We cut to the next morning, where the police are taking away Mary’s headless corpse. Daniel and Gareth learn that the coroner van carrying Mike’s corpse was found crashed and its driver murdered. Gareth realizes that the killer is collecting the corpses of survivor’s that they kill. Daniel asks if that’s the case, then why did they leaved Mary’s behind. After some thinking, Gareth suggests that they could just be taking their severed heads. Daniel says that’s the most logical explanation.

He then goes over to Emily, who is mourning Mary, and informs her that Charles is in the hospital. Shocked, Emily asks what happened, but changes her mind, and runs off without letting Daniel say what happened. She’s clearly horrified at the thought of Charles being injured, her last family member. Emily rushes off to the hospital to visit him, texting several of her friends. We cut to the hospital, where Charles and Elliot are in the same room. Just then, Emily, Spencer, Maria, Eric, Sara, Greg, Walter and Toby come in. Emily asks them what happened.

Elliot and Charles tell the group about their attempt to lure Bethany in and stop her. Although Elliot shot her in the shoulder, she escaped. Charles admits that the idea was pretty reckless at the time, but thought it was their best chance. Noticing their absence, Charles asks where Aria and Mary are. Toby tells them that he got a text message from Aria last night, stating that she wanted to be left alone until tomorrow morning. Elliot realizes that Aria must be very devastate, and suggests that they should check up on her. Emily and Maria say they’ll do that later.

Charles then asks why Mary isn’t here with them. Everyone looks down in sadness; clearly, Emily has told everyone about what happened to Mary. Charles, looking confused, asks again where his mother is. Emily is forced to inform him that Mary has been murdered last night by Jenna. Charles looks at her in shock for a few moments, then closes his eyes and starts crying. Eric and Spencer help comfort him. Just then, Emily speaks up and tells them that Jenna called her.

Greg asks what she said. Emily says that she challenged her to a fight to the death at Thornhill Lodge, and she intends to accept the offer. Everyone, especially Charles, is shocked by this plan. Charles begs Emily not to go, as he’s just lost his mother. Emily tells him that Mary was her mother too. She says that she can’t just stand aside while her friends and family are being murdered any longer. Emily is sick of being a victim, and tonight she is going to fight back. Charles agrees that Emily shouldn’t be a victim any longer, but is still very against her going.

Everyone thinks about it. Sara suggests that they make a vote on whether Emily should go; whichever side gets the most votes wins. Emily gets to participate in the vote as well. Walter says he’ll go along with whatever his daughter choses. Charles, Sara, Walter, and Elliot vote no, while Greg, Spencer, Toby, Maria and Emily vote yes. The vote is 4-5; Emily is going. Charles is upset that the vote has been lost, and tells Emily to promise him something. Emily says that she’ll do anything.

Charles makes her vow not to lose the battle, kill Jenna, and come home alive. If Emily dies, he will never forgive her, and he will have to “come join her” (which implies suicide). Emily vows to uphold this. Charles thanks her, and requests to be left alone to mourn. The group walks out, leaving Charles and Elliot. After everyone leaves the room, Toby asks Sara what the secret she was going to say on the night of Mike’s death was. Sara decides that it’s finally time to confess, much to Walter’s relief. In a series of flashbacks, Sara explains that five years ago, she was living with her parents.

During this, she had met a teenager, Michael Smith, whom had watched the Halloween films. He grew obsessed with the legend of Michael Myers, and eventually decided to become like him. After purchasing a Michael Myers mask, he decided to reenact Michael murdering his whole family. This was brought on hold as Michael realized he was too old, as Michael was merely a child, and he had no sister, preventing him from finding his “Judith Myers” However, Michael had soon thought on of an idea.

He met Sara in school and saw that she had some similarity to Judith, especially her hair. After discovering the name of her mother is Deborah, the name of Michael’s mother, Michael decided Sara was the way to do it, and accepted he was older. After making final preparations, Michael stole a butcher knife and snuck to Sara’s home at night. There, he found Sara’s father, Abraham Moyer, making dinner in the kitchen. Michael stabbed him in the head and killed him instantly so he wouldn’t make noise. He then ambushed Sara’s mother, Deborah Harvey, in the living room. Michael stabbed her 10 times, killing her. Sara didn’t hear her mother’s screams because she was upstairs listening to music.

Michael then went upstairs and knocked on the door loudly enough so that Sara could hear him; when Sara opened the door, Michael attacked her. However, Sara was able to put up enough resistance and the struggle took place outside the room. Eventually, Sara was able to push the Michael Myers fanatic down the stairs, breaking his neck and killing Michael. She then suffered a breakdown after finding the corpses of her parents. We cut back to the present, where Walter, Deborah’s brother, explains that he adopted Sara after her parent’s deaths and has been taking care of her since.

Everyone is shocked by this brutality. Sara says that she got along with the survivors because they’ve been through pain as she has, and that she’ll stick with them until the very end. Emily and Sara hug tightly. The rest of the group join in. We cut to sometime later at Aria’s home, where Emily and Maria are walking up. They’ve decided to try and visit Aria, believing that something could be seriously wrong. They knock on her door, and nobody answers.

However, they then notice a note and read it. The note, which is addressed to “Aria’s friends” says that she’s not here and she’s out making a “personal decision” about her future. It tells Emily and Maria not to bother trying to find her, and that she’s not here. Realizing that they aren’t going to find Aria, Emily and Maria give up, but not before bringing up the possibility that Aria might have committed suicide. It’s very obvious both girls are horrified at the thought. We cut to the police station, where Daniel and Gareth are talking.

Daniel has been frustrated by the lack of success, remembering Tanner’s death in Season 2. He admits that he’s been blaming himself for what happened that night for not seeing Wilden’s betrayal coming. Gareth says that nobody could have seen Darren’s reveal coming. Daniel says that this is true, and he’s also concerned about Toby. Gareth reminds Daniel that he also has a son, whom he is also concerned about. He says that they’ll find these bastards and stop them before they hurt anyone else. Daniel says that he hopes Gareth is right.

We cut to Emily’s home, where she is preparing for the fight to come. She’s tied her hair into a ponytail and doing some punches and kicks into the air. After this, Emily phones Charles for their last conversation. Emily tells him that she’s about to leave, and again promises him that she will survive. Charles tells Emily that if he doesn’t see her again, Emily is the best sister that she’s ever had, and he loves her. Emily tells Charles that she loves him too. After hanging up, Emily goes into her car and prepares to drive off.

Before she does, we cut to the Thornhill Lodge, where the three killers are preparing for the showdown. Darren has drawn red arrows on the wooden floor leading to stairs, which lead down to the basement. There, Bethany has a large bag of popcorn to watch this with Darren, who is outside waiting for Emily to arrive. Bethany has her shoulder bandaged up from her earlier gunshot wound. She goes up to Jenna and says that she’s a very brave killer to take on the final girl early. Confident, Jenna says that it’s not a problem, and she’ll breeze through this. Bethany brings up her request to have sex with Jenna, but tells her she’s had a second thought.

Only if Jenna wins the fight, Bethany will be certain that Jenna is worthy of her, and Jenna agrees with the deal. Just then, Darren returns and informs Jenna that Emily’s car has pulled up, asking Jenna if she’s ready. Jenna announces she is more than ready. Wilden and Bethany take their seats with the popcorn as they hear footsteps coming, expecting to see Emily. Soon enough, someone indeed does come downstairs within their sight. However, they are shocked to discover that the challenger against Jenna is actually not Emily.

It’s Aria, alive and well. She’s barefoot and in her karate outfit she used to train with Maria and looks pretty pissed off. Confused, Bethany and Wilden ask Jenna why Aria is here instead of Emily. Through flashbacks, Aria and Jenna explain everything. It is revealed that Aria resisted committing suicide after remembering the anti-depression pills Maria gave her; she took them and the hallucinations disappeared. After this, Jenna made a video call to Aria. She challenged her to a fight to the death the same fashion as Emily. Wanting revenge, and seeing this as a much better way to go down than suicide, Aria accepted.

Jenna informed Aria that she was going to make the same proposal to Emily, and it would be up to Aria to stop Emily from coming. It is then revealed that Aria was hiding the back seat of Emily’s car; when she tried to drive off, Aria ambushed and drugged Emily with choral hydrate Jenna left for her, before gently putting her on a couch inside of her house. She then left a note explaining everything, unwilling to see anymore of her friends die. Aria then got into Emily’s car and drove up to Thornhill Lodge, thus setting up the events of the present. We cut back to the present.

Darren and Bethany are very amused at this turn of events, though they were looking forward to seeing Emily die. This will be very satisfying nevertheless. Jenna applauds Aria for her bravery, who asks her why she’s tormented her so much, stating that it can’t be a coincidence. Jenna reveals that she has been planning for this fight scene for a long time. She wanted to drive a survivor the brink of insanity, murder everyone they love, and fight them at the end. Jenna considered this to be the “ultimate challenge” before the finale. She says that Aria has fallen right into her hands, and asks her if she thinks she can win this.

Aria reminds Jenna that she murdered her father, mother, boyfriend and brother. She furiously reminds Jenna of her pledge in Season 2 to kill her and make her pay for everything she’s done. Jenna says that if Aria wishes to die, then she’ll just be another victim and “so much fun” Aria shouts at Jenna to “Bring it, fucker!” The fight to the death begins; Jenna charges at Aria, but Aria grabs Jenna’s wrist and punches her. Aria and Jenna stare each other in the eyes…and IT IS ON!

Aria and Jenna proceed into hand to hand combat, throwing taekwondo, karate, and all sorts of marital arts at each other. They start throwing punches at each other’s faces. Bethany and Wilden watch the fight, eating popcorn, in amusement. Then, a few kicks are thrown. Jenna kicks Aria in the chest, knocking her back, but Aria dodges the second kick. Aria, using all her strength, kicks Jenna directly in the face. We hear a crack, Jenna screams. She clutches her mask, and blood starts seeping out of the nose hole; Aria has broken Jenna’s nose. Aria smiles, feeling pleasure of the pain she inflicted on the mastermind killer.

Bethany and Darren are at least mildly surprised to see their leader hurt like this. Aria asks Jenna how it feels to experience pain, the very thing that she’s done to everyone she loves. Getting up, Jenna says that it felt “fun” and assures that this isn’t over by a mile. Aria says that’s good; she’s not done beating on her yet. The fight then resumes. Jenna grabs Aria and throws her against the wall. Aria knees Jenna in the stomach, and throws some punches, which Jenna dodges. Jenna headbutts Aria, which is hard enough to hurt both their heads.

They clutch each other’s foreheads for a moment. Jenna is the first to back into the fight, elbowing Aria right in the nose, causing her to fall backward. Aria lets out a scream, and blood starts coming out of her nose. Both combatants have broken noses now. Jenna says that Aria isn’t the only one who is good in a fight in this room. Wiping blood off her face, Aria says that she isn’t going to be intimidated anymore, never again, and Jenna is going to die here. Jenna then tells Darren that it’s time for “level two”; Darren throws Jenna’s knife at her, which she catches and takes.

Jenna is now armed, and goes to stab Aria, but she rolls away. She jumps up and kicks Jenna hard in the back. Aria even doesn’t give Jenna a chance to recover and swings a hard kick across her face. Jenna lands hard on the floor, dropping her knife. Keeping up the pace, Aria raises her leg up and stomps on Jenna’s face, hard. Jenna screams and pushes Aria’s foot off of her. She grabs her knife and stabs it into Aria’s leg. Aria screams. Jenna pulls the knife out and looks at her opponent. At this point, both of them are clearly exhausted and very wounded. They circle each other, breathing deeply and staring.

Bethany and Wilden are on the edge of their seats at this point. Jenna says that this was fun, but now it’s time to end this. Aria nods in agreement, and this is it, the final round. Someone will win, and someone is about to die. It begins with an advantage for Jenna, who stabs Aria in the shoulder. Aria screams, and she’s losing her strength. Jenna goes to stab her again, but Aria manages to grab Jenna’s wrist, twisting it, spins it around, and drives the knife right into her gut. Jenna gasps for breath. That had to hurt. Regardless, Jenna charges Aria, pining her to a wall and beating her head against it.

Aria knees Jenna in her gut wound, who lets out a loud scream. She then spins around and does a hard kick on Jenna’s face, knocking her down. Aria takes a few moments to catch her breath before going to stomp on Jenna again, but, having had time to recover, Jenna kicks Aria in the groin and face, knocking her down. Seizing the opportunity, Jenna gets on top of Aria, and plunges the knife down at her. Aria grabs Jenna’s wrist, trying to stop it, but Jenna grabs Aria’s throat and starts to strangle her.

Eventually, Aria can’t hold out any longer, and she is stabbed in the chest. Aria is finally overpowered and defeated. Triumphant, Jenna gets close to Aria’s face, and tells her that she always wins. Aria accepts her fate and spits blood in Jenna’s face, defiant to the end. She tells Jenna that she’ll never break her, and she’s chosen her own fate. Aria also tells Jenna that she’ll see her in hell. Jenna laughs and stabs Aria in the heart. Aria Montgomery, brother of Mike Montgomery and Season 1 survivor, is dead. Jenna then collapses to the ground, due to her many wounds while fighting Aria.

Darren and Bethany, having finished the popcorn, run up. They congratulate Jenna for her triumph, who tells them to take her to bed, and that they’ll celebrate later. They’re going to have to take a break for now. Jenna acknowledges that Aria has inflicted several devastating, though not life-threatening, wounds, before telling Bethany to decapitate Aria’s corpse and put her head up on a pike. While Darren takes Jenna to bed for her to recover, Bethany takes out a hatchet and decapitates Aria’s corpse. Smash to black.

Episode 7: It’s Never Over
We open on Greg and Gareth’s home, where Greg is having dinner by himself. Gareth is staying after late at the police station today. After eating dinner, Greg goes to get ready for bed. When he goes inside his room, he sees a figure in the darkness. Greg dismisses it as himself “seeing things” and turns on the light. It’s Bethany Young. Quickly realizing the danger, Greg tries to run away, but Bethany grabs him, and drags him toward his balcony.

Bethany slams Greg’s head twice against the balcony, cracking it open. She then throws the half-dead Greg off the balcony and onto the concrete. Greg Sullivan, son of Gareth and Anne Sullivan, is dead. Bethany looks over the balcony in amusement before departing. We cut to the next morning at Greg’s home, where his corpse is being taken away and the police are all over. Gareth is crying, obviously destroyed at his son’s death. He says that he should never have stayed late and came home.

Daniel tries to comfort Gareth, telling him that it’s not his fault and nobody could have predicted this. Gareth, unconvinced, tells Daniel that he needs a couple of days off. Daniel agrees to let him be alone for a couple of days. Meanwhile, at the Lost Woods Resort, Bethany is talking to Darren and a recovered Jenna about her latest kill. Darren and Jenna are pleased with this, and Bethany asks for her “prize” if she did a good job. Jenna partially lifts up her mask, allowing Bethany to kiss her on the lips. After this, she asks why Jenna always has her costume on.

Jenna says that it’s just in case if anyone is spying on them, and she’s taking no chances, especially not this late in her plans. She then asks Darren how he’s doing with his hounds back in Thornhill Lodge. Darren says that he’s started starving them, and says that they get hungry faster than he thought. He says that it’s going to be awesome when he feeds Spencer to them. He asks what they should do next. Jenna says that she has in idea, but needs more time to think about it, and leaves.

We cut to Rosewood College, where the survivors, and Sara, are talking about Greg’s death. They are obviously saddened, but not too much to act. Eric correctly guesses that the killers are back, and Greg was their proof. Spencer says that they can’t kill all of us. Charles notices that Emily is being silent, and asks her if she’s thinking about Aria again. Emily admits that she is. It is revealed that after she woke up from being drugged, she went down to Thornhill Lodge to stop Aria from challenging Jenna, but it was too late, and she only found her headless corpse.

Emily has been feeling much guilt since the three week break, for not being able to take Aria’s place in the final showdown, and that Aria sacrificed herself to stop her from being killed. Maria says that she feels the same. Charles says that Aria loved all of her friends, and she went out a blaze of glory for all of them. He says that thanks to Maria’s efforts, Aria was able to take Emily’s place and not lose hope. Eric agrees, and says that they can’t let Aria’s sacrifice be in vain, meaning, they can never give up hope. Everyone places their hands on top of each other, taking a vow not to stop fighting, no matter what happens.

After this, Spencer leaves to go to the bathroom. After she uses it, she gets a call; it’s Wilden. He tells Spencer hello again, and that he’s sorry for taking another break, but Aria was “such a bitch” to Jenna. Spencer tells Darren that he’s a coward, and he always has been. Darren says that is intriguing, and asks Spencer to go on. Spencer says that Darren has always been preying on the weak and defenseless, and challenges him to take on someone as tough as him, like her.

Ignoring the proposal, Darren counters that Spencer is a failure, and she’s always failed to save those closest to her. To prove this, he reminds her of her failure to save her parents, Veronica and Peter. Spencer is saddened to remember this, but refuses to give in to Darren’s taunts. Wilden tells Spencer that he’s going to have to resort to drastic measures. He then activates a recording of when he burned Nancy alive, and plays her dying screams. Spencer is horrified at this, and begs Darren to stop. He refuses and turns up the volume, and we hear Nancy desperately screaming out for her parents (Spencer and Eric) to help her, all in vain.

The memory of her little sister is too much for Spencer to handle; she turns off the phone and sinks to her knees, crying her eyes out. At the Lost Woods Resort, Darren smiles, satisfied that he is breaking Spencer. Bethany, watching this, tells Darren that he’s the cruelest man she’s ever seen. Darren thanks her, and says that maybe they could make a good couple. Bethany calls Wilden crazy, as he’s over 20 years older than her, and Jenna is way more comparable.

Darren informs Bethany that she is the “craziest” out of all of them, as she murders people for pure fun and pleasure. Bethany says that’s real funny, and asks Darren if he thinks he’s better than her. Darren responds “1000 times better” and says that he’s the best accomplice Jenna’s ever had. Bethany is angry at this accusation, and reminds Wilden that Jenna is in love with her. Darren says Jenna is only romancing Bethany because she lost Maya in Season 2, and that she’s a killer, but not as good as him. Bethany asks him why that is.

Darren informs her that his body count, extending through all three seasons, easily defeats Bethany’s mere count of 5. Bethany says that she is going to prove that she’s the best one for Jenna, and Darren asks her how she’ll do it. She proposes that they go on the training mat and fight one and one, asking Wilden if he’s scared of her. Darren agrees as long as it’s unarmed, as Jenna would be angry if either of them died without her “permission” Not wanting to anger Jenna by killing Darren, Bethany agrees.

We cut back to Elliot’s home, where he is talking to Charles and Emily. He says that now that the killers are back, they’re going to need to think of Jenna’s identity. Elliot says that he is here mainly about Bethany, but it’s time to extend his priorities. Charles and Emily ask him who he has in mind. Elliot lays out his top two suspects: Walter Harvey, and Toby Cavanaugh. Walter is on there because he made the drinks for Mike at the dinner earlier. He acknowledges that Walter didn’t have his phone with him when the text taunting the survivors was sent, so that might rule him out.

He thinks Toby could be Jenna because he’s one of the only survivors left who has never gone through a close encounter with death. Charles and Emily say that Elliot has some good points, but the problem is that Jenna is a female. Elliot makes the suggestion that Jenna could actually be transgender now. Charles and Emily are surprised by this suggestion, having never thought of that. They conclude Toby would be the more likely suspect if that were the case. Elliot also has some advice about how to deal with Jenna physically. He points out that since both Emily and Aria failed to defeat Jenna in one on one combat, no one person is able to defeat her alone.

Emily says that he has a good point, remembering her defeat in the end of season 2. Charles says that in the final showdown, Emily must bring one or more of the remaining survivors with her. Emily and Elliot agree that this would be a good solution. We cut back to Lost Woods Resort, where Darren and Bethany go on the training mat for their fight. Bethany slips off her high heels, and asks Darren if he’s ready to get his ass kicked. Before he can respond, Jenna comes in.

She asks her accomplices what they are doing. Bethany tells him that she’s going to prove that she’s the best killer for Jenna. Darren elaborates that Bethany has “major jealously issues” and that Bethany wants to fight him. Jenna thinks about this, and decides to allow this. However, she says that the outcome of this will not determine who the best killer, but who will get to take charge of a “special assignment” the next day. She then tells Wilden and Bethany to start fighting, which they do.

Darren, being more than twice as old as Bethany, quickly has the upper hand, though Bethany is able to land a few punches on him. Bethany briefly gets the upper hand by kicking Wilden in the groin, and then kicking him across the face. She taunts him that girls are always better than boys. Darren demonstrates that this is incorrect by decking her in the face, knocking her down. He then punches Bethany several times in the face, while calling her the “juvenile delinquent and newbie” of the group, pointing out that Bethany would have never escaped Elliot without his and Jenna’s help.

At this point, Jenna declares the brawl over and Darren the winner. Furious that she was so easily defeated, Bethany storms out. Jenna says that she’s going to have to calm Bethany down, but first, she tells Darren his special assignment: he gets to murder Spencer. Darren is shocked by this, predicting that he would have to wait much longer for that. Jenna says that has this is her last plan against the survivors, anything can happen in this. Wilden tells Jenna that he is aware that Spencer might be able to kill him, and says he came prepared for that.

In case of his death, Darren tells Jenna that he has a plan to get Spencer back in death, and tells Jenna to do a specific list of things after his possible death. After Darren tells Jenna his unheard plan, she goes over to where an upset Bethany, who has a very bruised face, is sitting. Jenna correctly guesses that Bethany is upset because Darren owned her in a one on one fight, and she believes that Jenna doesn’t love her. Bethany says that this is true, and she feels like slitting Wilden’s throat in his sleep.

Jenna refuses to allow that, but tells Bethany that they can still be lovers. Jenna admits that she loved Maya in seasons 1 and 2, and thought she might never love again. However, after seeing Bethany, she decided to give her a chance. Bethany’s craziness is much greater than Maya’s, which Jenna likes. She says that while Darren will always be her most reliable accomplice, Bethany will always be the sexiest. This cheers Bethany up, and tells Jenna to prove she is in love with her.

Bethany rips off Jenna’s mask, and the two proceed to have sex. We see this being done through Jenna’s POV, so we don’t see their identity. Bethany and Jenna take off their clothes, and make out on a nearby bed. We can tell that both of the, especially Bethany enjoying this. Darren overhears this from another room, and mutters that this is the most “fucked up trio ever” He then goes over to the spike reserved for Spencer’s severed head, and imagines putting it on there, though his hounds will likely make sure nothing is left. Darren smiles at the thought. Smash to black.

Episode 8: Satisfaction
The next morning, we cut to Spencer’s house. She is sitting on a couch alone. During this, her phone rings; it’s Darren. He asks Spencer if she’s thought about what he’s said last night. Spencer asserts that she is a survivor, and isn’t a failure. Darren tells Spencer that tonight, she gets a chance to prove it. Her only chance. Spencer asks him what he means. Darren challenges Spencer to face him, unarmed and alone, at Thornhill Lodge tonight. Spencer asks if he’s taking this from when Jenna lured Aria in and killed her.

Darren says yes. He says that he has a very special plan for Spencer when he triumphs over her. He asks Spencer if she accepts his offer. Spencer accepts, and tells Wilden that he is going to die tonight. Darren says that they’ll just see what happens, and hangs up. We cut to Eric’s home, where the gang are having a meeting. Spencer is telling them about Darren’s proposal that they meet up and fight to the death tonight. Charles objects, as this is reminds him of Aria’s death, fearing a repeat of this.

Spencer says that she’s Darren’s primary target, and he wouldn’t have anyone else take his place, as he’s settled all his other grudges already. Everyone is divided over this as the same reason as Charles, and not wanting to lose another main survivor. Eventually, the group decides to settle on another vote. Spencer, Toby, Maria, Sara, vote yes, while Elliot, Charles, Eric and Maria vote no. It’s a tie. They decide to make a tie-breaker in the form of a rock paper scissors match between Eric and Spencer. Eric draws rock, but Spencer draws paper and wins. Eric curses and insists that Spencer is making a huge mistake.

Spencer refuses to just stay on the sidelines and watch Darren kill everyone she loves. Eric says that is exactly what Aria said, and that got her killed. He says that Spencer will end up the same way. Spencer screams at him that she doesn’t care whether she dies or not. She says that she’s sick of being held back, sick of being the victim, and she won’t tolerate it anymore. Spencer tells Eric that she doesn’t care what he thinks, and she’s going to finally face off against this heartless bastard (Darren). Spencer then storms out. Eric leaves shortly after.

We cut to Thornhill Lodge, where Darren is talking to Jenna, who asks if she can watch the fight. Darren says that this is more personal more him than Jenna taking Aria out, and wants it to just be her and him. Jenna agrees, admitting she had no real grudge against Aria other than wanting an actual challenge. She asks Darren how he’s so sure he will defeat Spencer this time. Wilden informs Jenna that he intends to shoot Spencer in both legs as soon as the fight starts, incapacitating her.

He will then tie up Spencer to a chair, lock her in a room with the two starved hounds, and watch and she is devoured, as explained last time. As he is explaining his plan, we see Bethany overhearing Darren’s plan. She sneaks into another room, where Darren keeps his gun. Bethany secretly empties Darren’s gun of all of its bullets, thus ruining his plan. Bethany does a little monologue in her head. She explains to the audience that there are two reasons she is doing this.

The first reason, and the breaking point, is when Darren proved he was better than her in their fight last episode. The second reason is that Bethany and Jenna know Darren is better than the former. Bethany hopes that Jenna will consider her the best with Darren out of the picture. She is emptying the gun to give Spencer a critical advantage, hoping that that this will ensure that Spencer wins the fight. Bethany acknowledges Darren is still very strong without his gun, having experienced this firsthand.

She then sneaks out of the room through a window before she can be discovered. We cut to sometime later at Spencer’s home, where she is getting ready to take on Darren. Just then, she hears a knock on the door. She opens it to find Eric, who is frowning. Spencer tries to slam the door on him, but Eric prevents this and comes in. He tells Spencer that he’s sorry for causing the argument earlier, and says that he understands Spencer’s desire to kill Darren, before starting to cry.

Spencer asks him why he’s crying. Eric tells her that he’s lost his brother, who never loved him, and his father, who did love him. He says that Spencer is the only thing that he has left, and doesn’t know what to do if she’s doesn’t make it out alive. Eric has been fearing this ever since Noel/John’s death after Season 1. Spencer sits down on the couch with him. She reveals that she has attempted suicide after Nancy’s death. Eric is shocked. In flashbacks, Spencer got herself a rope and tried twice to hang herself from a tree in her backyard, but couldn't bring herself to do so.

Everytime she tried to commit suicide, or she even thought about it, she thought of Eric. He was enough to keep her going, and get her to this moment. Spencer says that she never have carried on without him, and she knows Eric might not be able to carry on without her. Spencer predicts that Darren will kill Eric if she objects to the final showdown, and she doesn’t want to see anyone else she loves die. Spencer says that she’ll let Eric decide whether or not she should go.

Eric asks her why she’s leaving up to him. Spencer says that if their positions were reversed, with Eric facing Darren, she might be as reluctant as him to let Eric go. Eric gives her permission to face Darren, but orders her to promise to come back alive. Spencer promises, and kisses Eric on the lips. She then drives off Thornhill Lodge, with Eric watching her leave. We cut to the Lodge, where Spencer drives up and goes inside. Spencer shouts that she is here, and waits for Darren to come out. Just then, Darren does come out. He holds Spencer at gunpoint with his, unknown to either of them, empty gun.

Darren says that he’s waited for this day for so long, but he never thought it would be like this. He really expected Spencer to join her father and give in to her psychotic instincts. Spencer says that Darren is not her father, Peter was, and it will always be that way. She says that Darren is going to pay for everything he’s ever done, especially for Nancy. Darren says that Spencer didn’t need her family, and he was the only family member she could ever want. He says that Nancy was the worst of them, and if he adopted her instead, she would have been a “crybaby, as she always was”

Spencer glares at Darren, asking him if she can start kicking his ass yet. Darren first tells Spencer of his plan to shoot her in the legs and have his two hounds devour her. Spencer attempts to challenge Darren to a fist fight, but he refuses, remembering what happened last time when he tried that. When Darren tries to shoot Spencer, they both discover the gun is unloaded. Darren is shocked and begins examining the gun, trying to figure out what’s wrong. Spencer uses the distraction to attack Darren, and their final battle begins.

Darren says that Spencer is making this way more difficult than it needs to be, and uses to knife to fight her instead. Spencer demonstrates that like last time, she is a strong final girl, even though Darren is an adult. Both of them get heavy bruises. They throw punches, kicks, knees, headbutts and all sorts of moves at each other. It’s brutal and awful bloody fight to the death between father and daughter. Eventually, Spencer gets the upper hand and knocks Darren to the ground.

Before he can stand up, Spencer pounces on top of him. She proceeds to brutally punch Darren in the face, harder and harder. She does not stop doing it, and takes out all her anger and rage on him. He tries to force Spencer off of him, and although he briefly does so, she gets right back on him. Spencer savagely beats Darren to a bloody pulp, severely disfiguring his face. She screams as she does it, letting out all her fury. Darren is the brink of death. However, before Spencer does the final blow, she remembers Darren telling her about his hounds. Spencer stops beating Wilden and smiles, getting an idea. She looks down at the bloody Wilden, who then passes out.

We cut to when he wakes up, though barely conscious and completely battered. Darren is tied to a chair in a room, with Spencer talking to him through a hole in the door. She says that Darren has lost, and nobody is going to mourn for him. Spencer tells him that he did everything for nothing. Darren tries to goad her one last time. He says that he wanted to express himself to his daughter, and it worked. Wilden says that Spencer will never forget about him, and that he’s a “part of Spencer” now. Ignoring this, Spencer asks Wilden if he remembers his starved hounds. Just then, the two hounds come in and walk toward him.

They start to lick and sniff Wilden, complicating whether or not to eat their former master. Despite Wilden’s confidence that his hounds will not harm him, he quickly loses his pride and desperately orders his hounds to kneel, but they ignore his commands. After a few moments, one of the hounds bites Darren. Darren screams out in extreme pain. The two hounds then proceed to brutally maul and eat their master alive. It’s very similar to Ramsay Bolton’s death from Game of Thrones. Spencer hears the dying screams of her family’s murderer on the other side and reaches into her pocket.

She takes out a family photo, with Peter, Veronica and Nancy in it. Spencer talks to her dead family, but specifically Nancy, telling them “I love you all. I killed the scary man for you. I’ll always miss you. Goodbye” Spencer finally has her revenge and closure she’s always wanted. After she finishes, Darren’s screams finally cease in the room behind her. Darren Wilden, biological father of Spencer Hastings and the 2nd Liberator C, is finally dead. Spencer walks away, letting out a smile as she does. Fade to black.

Episode 9: Retaliation
We cut to Thornhill Lodge the next morning, where Gareth, having just gotten back on duty, and Daniel are on the scene after being called by Spencer. During their talk, it is revealed that Darren’s two hounds were found to be hostile and unstable, forcing officers to gun them down. The corpses of Darren and the hounds are taken away. Daniel expresses much relief that his former partner and traitor is dead, as, in his opinion, Darren was the most dangerous of the three killers. Gareth reminds him that Darren, as far as he heard, wasn’t the leader.

Daniel acknowledges this, admitting that while they’ve scored a major victory, he is well aware that this is not over yet. We cut to Lost Woods Resorts, where Jenna is fuming. She is obviously upset that Darren is dead. When Bethany tries to calm her down, Jenna grabs her and slams her against a wall, pointing her knife at her eye. Jenna reveals that she is aware that Bethany sabotaged Darren’s challenge by unloading his gun. She was watching Darren confront Spencer and realized that Bethany was the only other person who could have known where Darren’s gun was.

Bethany asks Jenna why she didn’t intervene like last time. She says that she left after Wilden’s gun didn’t work, as this was personal for him and she was confident he could handle himself, but we know how that assumption as turned out. Bethany, trying to seduce Jenna again, reminds Jenna of their romance. Jenna says that she will not kill Bethany because of their romance, but primarily because of her use to her in killing the survivors. However, Bethany will still have to be punished for her arrogance.

Jenna slashes the left side of Bethany’s face, creating a scar on it. She says that Bethany has a lot to do to prove that she is worthy of her again. Jenna also says that soon, Bethany is going to have to kill a survivor, and it better be good. Bethany angrily responds that she’s going to take her anger out on someone soon, and the scar has gotten her boiled up. Jenna says that’s good. We cut to Maria’s home, where she is having breakfast by herself. Just then, she gets a knock on her door. She answers it to find Toby on the other side, who tells her about Darren’s death, having learned it from Daniel.

Maria says she’s glad that Spencer won. Toby says that’s not the only reason why he’s here. Maria asks why else. Toby says he’s reconsidered their breakup, and admits that he misses hanging out with her. He sits on a couch with her. Maria admits that she’s been feeling very lonely since Aria’s death, and felt like she failed her, but molded Aria into a hardened survivor. Toby says that she’s right, and asks her to consider being a guidance counselor when she grows up, stating she’s be pretty good at it. Maria thanks him, and then admits that she’s changed her mind about breaking up with Toby. She asks him if they can back together.

Toby accepts and kisses her. Toby and Maria are now a couple again. We cut to Spencer’s home, where Eric comes in. They hug, as Eric is overjoyed that Spencer survived. Eric asks Spencer how she’s feeling. Spencer tells him that she feels relived, for the first time in a long time. She says that she’s let Wilden control her life for so long, and it’s hard to imagine it with him gone. However, Spencer admits that she knows Jenna and Bethany are still out there, and Darren wasn’t even the one in charge. Eric says that together, they will defeat the remaining killers, just like Spencer did to Darren.

He goes to kiss her, but Spencer says it’s not a good time, reminding him she just killed her biological father. Eric understands and leaves. After this, Spencer hears something behind her. Before Spencer can turn around, Bethany, who has snuck inside, drugs Spencer and knocks her out with chloroform. She then drags the unconscious Spencer off. We cut to Emily’s home, where she and Charles are watching Wilden’s death on the news. The siblings are overjoyed rather than surprised that Spencer managed to defeat Wilden. Emily says that she had thought that Spencer would die last night.

It is revealed that Emily initially couldn’t sleep last night thinking about Spencer’s fate, but Charles managed to get her to go to sleep. Charles says that Spencer is the “2nd most badass girl he’s ever known” Emily chuckles and thanks him. He tells her not to get too confident, as Bethany and Jenna are still out there. Emily acknowledges this, but says that together, they can defeat them. Charles agrees. Just then, they hear a knock on the door, but ask who it is first. Bethany, who is on the other side, uses a voice changer to make herself sound like Spencer.

Tricked, Charles opens the door. Bethany then slams a beer bottle on Charles’ head, knocking him unconscious. Startled, Emily goes to investigate the noise; when she does so, she is tackled by Bethany. The girls begin fighting. They roll on the floor, trying to get on top of each other, also pulling each other’s hair. Although Bethany is an expert killer, Emily is a strong final girl and has had far more experience. Eventually, Emily gets the upper hand, but Bethany turns this around by subduing her with the chloroform. She then goes over to where Charles is and contemplates slitting his throat.

She ultimately decides against it, and drags Emily into the woods, along with the unconscious Spencer. Someone later, they wake up, tied up in chairs at Lost Woods Resort. Spencer asks Emily what happened. Emily says she was attacked by Bethany and knocked out; Spencer says the same. Just then, Bethany and Jenna walk up to them. An annoyed Emily asks them what they want this time, and asks Bethany about the scar on her face. Jenna informs them that Bethany sabotaged Wilden’s challenge and unloaded his gun, and she punished her for it.

Emily is surprised; Spencer correctly guesses that Bethany sabotaged Wilden out of jealously. Bethany confirms this. Spencer says she would thank her, but they are beyond that. Changing the subject, Jenna tells Emily and Spencer that they’re going to learn a long awaited mystery. She asks Emily if she remembers when she told her about a second reason for tormenting her. Emily remembers that, and asks Jenna for it. Jenna tells her to think back to the fire before Season 1, the one that killed her parents and burnt Noel/John.

Emily says all she knows is that Alison, Mona and Jason did it. Jenna reveals that they weren’t the only ones; Emily was involved. Shocked, Spencer asks Emily if this is true. Emily says it isn’t. Jenna explains through flashbacks that after murdering Alison, she went through her journal to get details about the fire, learning Emily was involved as well. She says that Emily has a crush on Alison in her younger years, and Alison seduced Emily to help. This worked because Emily was drunk at the time.

Emily admits that she had the early crush on Alison before she realized she was a complete jerk, and that she did get slightly drunk on the night Jenna was killed. She does not believe that she actually helped kill Jenna’s parents. Ignoring Emily’s objection, Jenna explains that Emily was helping Alison, Mona and Jason that day, keeping a lookout for anyone who might see them. She says that took out everyone she hates the most except Emily. Shocked that she aided Alison in accidently killing the Marshalls, she tries to apologize.

Jenna informs Emily that they are beyond apologizes at this point, and goes up to Spencer. Jenna says that Spencer never did anything wrong to her up until killing Wilden. She informs Spencer that before dying, Darren gave her instructions on what to do so should he fail. Jenna is going to fulfill those instructions, and avenge Darren. Jenna concludes her monologue by stating that Spencer and Emily are now her primary targets, while Charles is still Bethany’s. Emily and Spencer tell Jenna and Bethany that they’ll never win. Just then, the foursome hear voices, prompting Jenna and Bethany to flee.

Charles, Gareth and Daniel come in. They untie Emily and Spencer. Charles explains that after he regained consciousness, he called Daniel and Gareth to tell them Emily is missing; they investigated the Lost Woods Resort in hopes of finding her and Spencer. Charles hugs Emily, asking what happened. Emily informs them about her role in killing the Marshalls, and expresses her guilt. The trio are surprised, but tell Emily it wasn’t her fault, as she didn’t organize it and was drunk at the time.

Emily thanks them. Daniel asks if Bethany or Jenna are here. Spencer tells them that they already left, probably because that they aren’t stupid enough to take on two armed cops head on. Gareth calls Jenna and Bethany cowards. Charles says that it might not remain that way for long. Spencer asks what he means. Charles says that they’ve advanced very far in the game, for Jenna to reveal the second part of her motive. Charles predicts that they’ve reached the final stretch in the Rosewood murders. Fade to black.

Episode 10: No Survivors
We open on Bethany and Jenna in the Thornhill Lodge the next morning, where they ran off to at the end of the last episode. Jenna tells Bethany that it’s time to fulfill Wilden’s final wishes, and she gets to move on to her next targets in her kill list. Bethany is delighted to hear this, and says that it’s been a while since she’s gotten some true pleasure. Jenna asks Bethany if murdering her family counts. Bethany says that it does, but the way that she plans on killing her victims is the thing that is long awaited.

We cut to Emily’s home, where she is having breakfast with Sara and Charles, who asks her how she’s been feeling since last night. Emily says that she’s trying to remind herself that the fire was Alison’s fault, not hers, but she feels very guilty for allowing herself to get drunk and manipulated. Sara asks her how she got her hands on a drink if he was underage anyway. She says that Alison most likely gave it to her and her drink it, she doesn’t really remember.

Sara tells Emily that Alison was a master manipulator when she was still alive. Charles agrees, although since he’s never been around before Alison’s death, he doesn’t really know. Emily closes her eyes. Sara walks up to Emily and puts her arm around her. She says that if they try hard enough, they can move on from this. Emily smiles and kisses Sara. Charles looks on, happy that her sister is having some happiness of her own. We cut to Eric’s home, where he has summoned Spencer over.

Spencer asks him why he called her over. Eric says it’s time for something that he’s been wanting to do for a long time. He explains that he’s always been nervous about doing this, but slowly, he’s built up the courage. Eric is doing this now to strengthen their resolve and to make Spencer happy. Spencer asks what he means. Eric says that this originated even before the Liberators came in to begin with. Eric tells Spencer that he loves her, and he never wants to be away from her. He then takes out something from his pocket. It’s a wedding ring. Eric, kneeling before Spencer, asks if Spencer will marry him.

Overjoyed, Spencer tells Eric that there is nothing that could make her happier in the world. They embrace into a tight hug, before passionately kissing. It’s obvious that both of them are very happy. Just then, Bethany is shown to be watching through a window. Bethany says that this is an unexpected surprise, and what they are about to do will be “even more fun” now. She smiles at the thought. We cut to Daniel and Toby’s house. Toby is upstart in his room thinking. He’s typing down in his computer about killer theories that he might have, believing that Jenna could be a survivor.

During this, he hears a loud noise downstairs, and a stabbing noise. Startled, Toby calls for Daniel. We hear some more noises, but it soon stops. After grabbing a pair of scissors, Toby goes downstairs to find out what is happening. He goes into the kitchen to find Daniel sitting calmly in a wooden chair, facing away from Toby. When Toby turns the chair around, he finds another pair of scissors lodged into his father’s throat. Daniel Cavanaugh, Season 2 survivor, Sheriff of Rosewood and father of Toby Cavanaugh, is dead.

Just then, Bethany comes up behind Toby, who is paralyzed with shock. Bethany picks up a vase and hits Toby over the head with it, knocking him unconscious. She says that it’s almost time for the “best fun ever” We cut to Walter and Sara’s home, where Walter is installing something to the wall. Sara sees this and asks Walter what he is doing. Walter explains that he was horrified that someone was poisoned in his own home, so next time they have dinner, he’s going to play over the footage on the camera, which he is putting in the kitchen, to make sure it hasn’t been tampered with.

Sara says that’s a good idea, but wonders if Walter is being a bit overprotective. Walter reminds her that Jenna and Bethany have murdered dozens of people, including police officers armed with guns, though Darren is gone. Sara ultimately goes with it. We cut to Elliot’s home, where he gets a knock on the door. He opens it to find Spencer on the other side, who tells him about Eric proposing to her. Elliot gives her his congratulations, and asks if he can come. Spencer says that she’s visiting everyone one by one to give the surprise, and gives him permission.

Elliot, however, advises her against inviting everyone yet. Spencer asks why not. Elliot reminds Spencer that even though Darren is dead, Jenna and Bethany are still out there, and therefore, they are still in danger. Spencer says that she and Eric are survivors, and they will get through this. Elliot says that he wasn’t doubting that, but he advises Spencer to put it on hold after Jenna and Bethany are stopped. Spencer says that Elliot has a point, but she still believes she should at least tell everyone. Elliot allows this, but warns Spencer not to get overconfident.

We cut back to Toby’s home. Toby wakes up, finding himself chained up to a wall. Bethany is standing in front him, telling him to wake up, which he does. Toby’s mouth is ducttaped, so his shouts or whatever he tries to say are muffled. Bethany tells him that Daniel put up a struggle, but she eventually shoved the scissors into his throat. She says that she’s going to enjoy herself and take her time killing Toby. Bethany admits that she was reserving this kill method for either Charles or Elliot, but she’s thought of something “even better”

Bethany then stops talking, telling Toby that she is eager to get started. She then takes off her high heels and starts beating Toby. She throws punches, kicks, knees and elbows at the defenseless Toby. It’s bloody, slow and awful. Bethany is brutally beating Toby to death with her bare hands and feet. After 20 seconds, Bethany tells Toby to “stop being a baby” and not to pass out on her, as she’s just getting started.

She resumes pounding Toby’s face in. After 40 more seconds, Bethany finally stops. Toby is an absolute mess, his face bashed in. Toby Cavanaugh, Season 2 survivor and son of Marion and Daniel Cavanaugh, is dead. Bethany is obviously very satisfied, though partly worn out from the beatdown. After taking her breath, Bethany looks at Toby’s cell phone and smiles, getting an idea. She grabs it and sends a text message to someone. We cut to Eric, who receives the text message, which tells him that Toby has a new killer theory. He “wants” Eric and Spencer to come over and hear what he has to say.

Eric sends a text message to Spencer telling her to come down to Toby’s house, before heading down there himself. As he lives near Toby’s house, Eric walks there and soon reaches it. When Eric goes inside, he sees blood on the floor. As Eric looks around, nervous, he receives a text message that says “I’ve been waiting a long time for this. This is for John” As Eric realizes he is in danger, a gloved hand grabs his shoulder. Startled, Eric spins around and gasps. We then smash cut to Spencer, who is arriving outside. When she goes inside, she finds blood all over the house.

After grabbing a knife from the kitchen, she sees Daniel’s corpse, almost vomiting, but holding it in. She then hears a banging noise upstairs, startling Spencer, who calls out for Eric. While making her way to stairs, she comes across Toby’s even bloodier corpse, lying on the couch. This time she vomits, and is very disturbed and saddened by what she sees. When Spencer reaches the stairs, she sees Jenna on the top of the stairs. She says that this was for what she did to Wilden. Jenna then grabs a completely bloodied body and hurls it down the stairs, landing right in front of Spencer.

It’s Eric, stab wounds all over his body. His chest, stomach, arms, legs, you name it. Eric Kahn, season 1 survivor, fiancé of Spencer Hastings, and foster brother of Noel Kahn/John Marshall, is dead. Jenna then runs off and (presumably) leaves through a window. Spencer stares Eric’s corpse for a few moments before screaming. She gets on top of Eric and begs him to “wake up” and not to scare her. Eric does not respond. Spencer even resorts to slapping his face, which still does not work. Spencer begs him to not to leave her, and says that they’re going to get married.

Spencer tells Eric to think of the children that they’ll have once she gets pregnant. Still no response. With that, Spencer stops trying and gives in to the fact that her lover is dead. Spencer goes hysterical, screaming and crying her eyes out while hugging Eric’s corpse, getting his blood all over her shirt. Spencer is even more devastated than when Nancy was burned alive in front of her. Eventually, Spencer passes out. Jenna then comes back with a hatchet, intending to decapitate Eric’s corpse. She swings the hatchet down as we smash to black.

Episode 11: The Broken Woman
We cut too shortly after Eric, Daniel and Toby’s deaths. The police are on the scene as Spencer walks out of the house. She is completely catatonic, with Eric’s blood all over her shirt. Spencer sinks her knees in shock and disbelief. Gareth comes up and has two officers take her away while he goes inside. He is shocked to find the now headless bodies of all three survivors, especially Daniel. Disturbed, he tells the medical examiner to take them away, and this is gotten far worse than he expected.

We cut to the hospital the next morning, where Spencer wakes up, finding Elliot standing beside her. Elliot says that he heard on the news about what happened and tells her that everyone is else is coming. Spencer asks if she is in Welby again. Elliot informs her that Welby was closed down after the massacre at the beginning of the shooting and that she is in the regular hospital. She can leave when she feels like it. Just then, Emily, Charles, Sara, and Maria come in. They tell Spencer that they are so sorry about Eric.

Spencer begins to cry, and asks why she is being tormented so much. She says that she should have just been killed in Season 1 and not suffer any of this. It would have been so much easier. Emily tells Spencer not to talk like that, and that is what Jenna wants. Spencer says that she doesn’t care, and that she’s lost everyone that loved her (Veronica, Peter, Nancy and Eric), and now she knows what Aria felt. Spencer says that being a survivor isn’t worth it.

Emily tells Spencer that she’s been through loss too, and everyone in this room has. Spencer screams at them that everyone expect has no idea what loss is. Everyone becomes silent. Eventually, Spencer apologizes, knowing everyone in here really does know what loss is, and she’s just being stubborn. Emily says that it’s ok, and admits she would probably like Spencer if Sara and Charles died. Elliot says that he understands this might be a bad time, but asks Spencer if he wants to tell everyone about what she told him.

Spencer says that she’ll do it, and admits that Eric had just engaged to her. Everyone is shocked by this. Spencer explains that they did it as a promise they would survive and live to see their children, whom Spencer was going to name Nancy Jr, after her dead sister. Spencer admits that they worst part about this is that she isn’t going to have a child. Maria speaks up, and says that they know Eric died, but doesn’t know who the other two victims were.

Sara informs her that Daniel and Toby were the other two. Everyone is shocked that three survivors will killed in a single attack. Maria is shocked and devastated by this, admitting that she just rekindled her relationship with Toby and hoping they could have a bright future together. She says that she and Spencer are sharing similar tragedies. Spencer thanks her, but says that she needs some time alone to think about what to do. Everyone then reluctantly leaves the room.

We cut Lost Woods Resort, where Bethany is meeting up with Jenna again. Jenna says that Bethany has outdone herself, and admits that she is impressed with the brutality she showed to Toby. Bethany admits she wanted to do that to Charles or Elliot, but nothing is stopping her from beating someone to death twice. Jenna agrees. Bethany tells Jenna that Spencer is going to be an emotional mess after Eric’s death. Jenna says that is exactly the case, knowing that Spencer is at the hospital and having watched her break down.

Bethany asks Jenna if she has Eric’s head on the pike. Jenna shows that she does, having washed the blood off so that Spencer will recognize it. She also has Daniel and Toby, the latter being almost unrecognizable due to the damage Bethany did. Jenna says that the grand finale is coming soon, and when it happens, nobody will be left alive. She then says that for killing another original survivor, she gets “bragging rights” Jenna takes out her phone.

We cut to Emily and Charles, where both are obviously saddened about the deaths, Eric’s especially. Emily says that she can’t believe Eric is dead. Charles says that he can’t believe it either, and that Eric and Spencer deserved to have a happy ending, Spencer more than anyone. Just then, Emily’s phone rings, and she hears Jenna on the other end. She says that one by one, all of her enemies are falling, and taunts Emily that she is winning. Emily says that she will never let Jenna win. Jenna says that Emily doesn’t have a choice on the matter, and she will murder whomever she chooses.

She says that Bethany is going to have a ton of fun with Charles once it’s time, and the same will happen with Emily, who tells Jenna that she is a coward. Jenna asks Emily how she is a coward. Emily tells Jenna that she’s always been hiding under a mask. Jenna reminds Emily that she murdered Aria and Eric while still costumed and never revealed their identity. She says that the mask makes her strong. Jenna hangs up. We cut to the hospital, where Spencer is alone in her bed. She staring up at the roof until she hears a soothing voice next to her; it’s a hallucination of Eric, who asks Spencer if he misses him.

Giving in to depression, Spencer tells Eric that she misses him, and asks why he had to die. “Eric” tells Spencer that he isn’t dead, and he’s just hiding. Spencer asks if this is true. “Eric” insists that it is, and he hiding in “the other side”, asking if Spencer wants to reunite with him. Despite her talk with her friends, Spencer admits that she is low on spirit and wants Eric back. “Eric” says that Spencer might not want to do this, but promises that it will be worth it in the end; she will be free of guilt and be happy again.

Before we hear what he says, we cut to Elliot, who is sitting in his house, looking at his psychology notes about Bethany, while writing in his journal. Elliot expresses his belief that Bethany has become far more lethal since he last saw in the hospital. He deduces that Bethany’s punishment and beatings by Jenna and Darren have hardened her, taking out her anger and rage into her murders. Elliot says that Bethany has had a few breakdowns during his therapy sessions with her, but nothing like this.

Elliot concludes that Bethany is becoming much too dangerous and he will need to resort to an “undesirable option” Taking out his gun, Elliot decides that he will have to kill Bethany, instead of just incapacitating her and bringing her back under mental car like he planned earlier. He then receives a text message from Spencer. Elliot looks at the text, which tells him that “Thank you for trying to help, but I’m going to be with Eric now” Thanks to his therapy experience, Elliot realizes what this means and calls up Emily, who reveals she and the rest of her friends have received the message.

Elliot tells Emily that Spencer has most likely checked out the hospital and is going to commit suicide so she can “reunite” with Eric. Not sure where else to look, they agree to look for Spencer at her home and rush over there. We cut to Spencer’s home, where Elliot, Emily, Sara, Maria, Walter and Sara arrive. They go inside and shout for Spencer. While the others search inside, Walter goes outside to see if Spencer is in the backyard. While looking around, he notices something on the same tree that Spencer was going to hang herself on after Nancy’s death; Walter comes closer and realizes that it is Spencer, who has finally succumbed to depression and hung herself. Smash to black.

Episode 12: Rise Up
Horrified at seeing Spencer’s lifeless body, Walter shouts for the others. Emily, Charles, Sara, Maria and Elliot come, and see Spencer. Sara runs up, and, taking out a pocket knife, cuts the rope hanging up Spencer, who falls flat on the ground. Elliot checks Spencer’s life signs, but finds that she is not breathing. Maria says that Spencer is dead. Emily refuses to believe this, and decides to preform CPR. Emily starts pounding Spencer’s chest, but she still does not respond.

The others begin to cry, giving up hope. However, Emily refuses to stop and resorts to another tactic. She performs mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on Spencer. After a few dramatic moments, Spencer suddenly springs to life, gasping for air; she is alive. Everyone is shocked, including Emily, who had just started to think she was dead. Emily hugs Spencer, who is also in tears and apologizes for trying to leave everyone, muttering “I’m sorry…I’m sorry…” We cut a short time later, where everyone is meeting inside of Spencer’s home.

Spencer is sitting on the couch with a blanket over her. She thanks Emily for reviving her. Emily asks Spencer why she tried to commit suicide. Spencer admits that she hallucinated Eric at the hospital. We flashback to when she hung herself on the tree. Spencer says that it was so tempting to join Eric on “the other side”, along with Nancy and her parents. This was the basic reason for her suicide attempts after Nancy’s death as well. Spencer decides that since her friends saved her, she has a new person to love, a new sister.

She then hugs Emily. Spencer tells Emily that they’ve suffered the most out of anyone in Jenna’s “games” and yet, they’ve pulled through each time. Emily acknowledges this, and says that Spencer could be the “sister that she never had” She asks Spencer to make a personal vow, which she will do with her. Emily and Spencer hold hands. The final girls vow to kill Jenna and Bethany, never try to commit suicide again, and get their revenge. Everyone then goes into a group hug.

Afterward, Spencer asks if Emily can stay with her for the night, as she doesn’t want to be alone after what she just tried to do. Emily says that’s not a problem. The group then departs. We cut to the Lost Woods Resort, where Jenna is sitting on a desk, thinking to herself. She is disappointed that Spencer didn’t actually commit suicide, as it would have been a major advantage in her plan. Jenna explains to the audience that there was two reasons that she killed Eric that day.

The first, obviously, was to finally avenge John. The second was to drive Spencer into complete hopelessness and kill herself. Jenna says that she may have only strengthened Spencer’s resolve by doing this, and taking her on might prove to be challenging. She admits that she needs Bethany to help her do this, and can’t take them all on by herself. Jenna than starts to talk about Bethany, who appears behind Jenna, armed with a rock. She walks up to Jenna from behind, completely stealthy and unnoticed.

Bethany talks to the audience in her head, and tells them that she wants to bash Jenna’s head in with a rock, as revenge for the scar on her face. She raises the rock, but hesitates. Bethany says that there are two things wrong with killing Jenna. The first is that, despite the scar on her face, Bethany really is in love with Jenna. Bethany admires her for being a mastermind killer and willing to punish her accomplices when they disobey her or do something bad. Bethany admits that if she was in Jenna’s place, she would have punished her for sabotaging Darren.

The second reason is that, like Jenna, Bethany knows that she can’t take on all the survivors and their friends by herself. She needs Jenna’s experience and leadership to guide her, while she puts her charms and desires to work. Bethany decides against killing Jenna and lowers the rock. As she walks away, Jenna tells her “Wise choice” This reveals that Jenna knew that Bethany was behind her all along and was waiting for her decision, so she could confirm her loyalty. Since she did not attack, Jenna will continue her relationship with Bethany.

We cut to the next morning at Elliot’s home, where he gets a knock on his door. He opens it to find Maria, who asks if she can talk to him. He says that he’s always happy to help a friend, and lets her in. Maria admits that she’s been sad because of Eric’s death, and expresses her belief that Toby isn’t being recognized. Elliot says that everyone who has died at Jenna’s hands will always be remembered, including Toby and Mona. Maria thanks him, and asks if she can come over again. Elliot says that she’s always welcome if she needs some help, that’s why he’s a therapist.

Maria said that she heard Elliot was a child therapist. Elliot says that he studied other kinds of therapy as Bethany grew older in hopes of redeeming her. Maria says that whether he likes it or not, Bethany isn’t going to be redeemed or rehabilitated. Elliot sighs, silently acknowledging this. We cut to Spencer’s home, where she has slept together with Emily and Charles, who didn’t want to be alone at home either. Spencer thanks Emily for staying with her, admitting that there is no way she could have tolerated being alone again. Emily says that she and Charles can came over anytime that Spencer wants.

They have breakfast together. Spencer tells them that they need to figure out a way to take down Jenna and Bethany, and soon. Charles agrees, but questions how they are going to do it. Emily says that every killer has an endgame to their plan, even if some of her friends were still alive. John faced off against Spencer, Nancy and Emily even though everyone else wasn’t present. Spencer says that Emily has a point, and the endgame could be coming up sooner than they thought.

We cut to Sara’s home, where she and Walter are having breakfast. Sara thanks Walter for spotting Spencer at her home and letting everyone know what happened. Walter says that it’s not a problem, and that they security cameras he’s been installing should be ready. Sara says that’s great. Just then, they hear a knock on the door. Before they answer it, Walter checks a camera that he installed on the front door. Jenna is on the other side, trying to surprise them and (presumably) unaware of the camera.

Walter and Sara quickly decide to flee out the back door, where Walter did not put a camera. When they try to leave through the back door, Bethany, who is on the other side, ambushes them. She has the sword Darren used to kill DCN back in Episode 4 (he threw the Chromeface costume, but not the weapon, into the fire). Bethany shoves the sword right through Walter’s stomach, impaling and mortally wounding him. Walter falls to ground, blood coming out of his mouth. Sara screams.

She kicks Bethany in the chest and runs away. Annoyed, Bethany chases her upstairs. Jenna comes around the back door and looks down at the dying Walter. She rips the sword out of his stomach. Walter, with his remaining strength, tells Jenna to leave his daughter alone. Jenna replies that she may have if Walter didn’t alert everyone that Spencer hung herself. With that, Walter deprived him of a major advantage, and now, Sara is going to die because of him. Walter shakes his head in denial before succumbing to his impalement. Walter Harvey, adoptive uncle of Sara Harvey, is dead.

Sara runs upstairs, trying to escape Bethany, who is catching up. Bethany tackles Sara, knocking her into her bedroom. Sara slams the door on Bethany and locks her out. Bethany tries to break down the door, but is unable to do so before Sara escapes out a window. Bethany looks down the window at Sara as she flees, along with Jenna. Jenna asks Bethany why she wasn’t able to get rid of Sara, as she thought it would be an easy target. Bethany says that she’s more persistent than she thought, and asks for another chance to take her down. Jenna says that they'll see who gets her first. Fade to black.

Episode 13: No Secrets
We cut to the next morning, where Sara is at the police station, having ran all the way there after escaping Bethany. Gareth is asking her some questions about what happened. After he’s finished, he lets Sara go. Sara walks outside the police station, where her friends are waiting for her. She runs into Emily’s arms, crying. Emily and the others help comfort her. Sara tells her about what happened, including that Walter is dead. Elliot says that he’s very sorry, and says that everyone here knows how loss like that feels.

Sara thanks him, but tells Emily that she can’t go home, as that’s where Walter died. Elliot asks Sara if she would like to stay at his home, and says that there’s enough room for both of them. Sara decides that would be nice. The group departs. We cut back to Lost Wood Resorts. Jenna and Bethany are talking again. Both of them agree that it’s nearly time for the finale. Bethany asks how this is going to work out. Jenna says that they need to ensure that the police don’t interfere.

This is why Noel/John killed the deputy and sheriff back in season 1, and Darren killed Tanner and those two cops in Season 2. Bethany says that cops not getting involved would be a good idea, and asks how they should do this. Jenna says that they need to attack someone, so that this can provoke them into calling the police, and she knows just who do it this to. Bethany asks who. Before we hear the answer, we cut to Emily, Charles and Spencer. Spencer is staying at Emily’s home until Jenna and Bethany are caught out of fear of being alone.

The three of them are talking about Jenna’s identity. Charles says that they are running out of people who it could be, knowing that it has to be someone that they know. Spencer brings up the possibility of Jenna being someone that they know who faked their death. Emily says that this could be very possible. Charles says it would have had to been someone close to them. Emily points out that it is pretty much impossible for a Season 3 deceased survivor to be the killer, as their corpses were decapitated afterward, and suggests a Season 2 death.

After some pondering, Charles suggests Ezra. Spencer asks why him. Charles points out that Ezra was a psychology teacher and knew all about psychopathy. He this could have trained him for the position as mastermind. Emily says that only problem with that theory is that Ezra is older than Jenna’s age. Spencer says that it is possible to lie about your age, and Ezra could have been a few years younger than that. Charles says that if anyone close to them faked their death, it would most likely be Ezra. Although Ezra was their friend, Emily and Spencer ultimately agree.

We cut to Elliot’s house, where he is showing Sara around. During the tour, Sara notices a room where he has lots of files on Bethany. Elliot admits that he’s been taking care of Bethany for a long time, and he’s always thought that she could be redeemed. Sara informs Elliot of how Bethany showed up at her home, murdered her uncle, and nearly did the same to her. Elliot asks permission for details, as he wants to know how Bethany behaved. He understands if Sara doesn’t want to talk about it. She says that she’ll tell him everything.

Sara tells Elliot that there was absolutely no remorse when Bethany shoved that sword through Walter’s stomach and when she chased her. If she didn’t get away, Bethany would have killed her without remorse as well. Elliot sighs. He says that didn’t want to have to fully embrace this, but she’s left him no choice. Elliot finally admits that Bethany is beyond redemption and he really is going to have to kill her. Sara says that she’s glad Elliot has realized this, and asks how long he’s been caring for her.

Elliot informs her that it’s been 10 years since the day she was brought to him after murdering Marion. He says that this just like Sam Loomis and Michael Myers from Halloween, and that’s a bad thing. Sara points out that Bethany is not resistant against bullets like Myers is. Elliot says that’s true, and makes a request. Sara asks what it is. When they go to face Bethany, Elliot wants some time alone with her for last words. Sara says she’s fine with it, but it’s Emily decision. Elliot goes with it.

We cut to Maria’s house, where she is watching SpongeBob Squarepants on her TV, hoping to get her mind off of things. Just then, she hears a knock on the door. Being cautious, she asks who it is, and she hears Elliot’s voice. When Maria opens the door, she realizes that it’s Jenna using Elliot’s voice on her voice changer. Jenna tackles Maria with her knife, but Maria pushes Jenna off of her. Maria grabs her cell phone and dials 911. Jenna gets up and resumes attacking Maria, who manages to tell them of her situation before running away. After some running, Maria is cornered.

She tries to fight Jenna, but she isn’t messing around and uses chloroform to quickly subdue her. Jenna then goes to the front door and sets up a booby trap for the first person she enters. After she finishes setting up the trap, the police arrive, prompting Jenna to go hide. Gareth and two other cops arrive, all armed and ready. When one of the cops opens the door, he is killed by the axe trap, which swings down and hits him in the face. Gareth and the other cop are shocked by this, but continue on.

Jenna goes down into the basement and cuts off power, thus sending the whole house in darkness (it is around nighttime) Jenna then puts on some night vision goggles. Gareth and the other cop hold each other’s hands and feel the wall, trying to get a good look around. Jenna goes to the other cop’s corpse and gets his gun. She shoots the cop with Gareth in the back of the head, killing him. Gareth fires blindly in the darkness, trying to get a hit on Jenna, who moves away from the room.

Gareth keeps shooting around until he runs out of bullets. Jenna then shoots Gareth in both of his legs. Gareth screams. Jenna says that Gareth is just like his son. Greg got involved with the “angels of death” (the survivors) and was murdered. Now, the cycle repeats with Gareth. Jenna shoots Gareth in the head. Gareth Sullivan, father of Greg Sullivan, is dead. Jenna then checks the gun, noticing that there is only one bullet left. She says that it will have to do, and walks over to Maria is. Announcing that “it’s finally time”, Jenna drags Maria off. Fade to black.

Episode 14: The Final Battle Part 1
We cut to Lost Woods Resort. Jenna has returned with Maria, whom she straps to an operating table. Bethany comes up, and asks Jenna if she can kill Maria. Jenna says that she’ll directs how this goes, but first, they need to get the “full party” here. She then takes out her phone. The call goes to Emily’s home, where Spencer is getting ready for bed with Charles and Emily, as she’s still staying with them. Before she can go up, she hears her phone ringing and notices the ID is unknown. Knowing what this, Spencer picks and gives the bitchy “What?” to Jenna.

Jenna tells Spencer that she’s broken her, and she’s nothing. Spencer tells Jenna that she’s wrong, and that she only hardened her resolve. Spencer tells her that Jenna and her crusade took everything from her and tortured her throughout all her life. She says that this is coming to an end. Jenna agrees and informs Spencer that she is holding Maria captive, and orders her to bring herself and all her remaining friends (Emily, Charles, Sara, and Elliot) to Lost Woods Resort in exactly one hour for the final showdown. She says that if she takes this, it will all end, but everyone except Elliot must be unarmed.

Spencer agrees, and tells Jenna that she should never have crossed her to begin with. Jenna tells Spencer that she is a victim, always has been and always will be, just like Nancy and Eric were. Spencer’s expression her face darkens when Jenna mentions them. Spencer vows to Jenna that she is going to die tonight and hangs up. She goes upstairs and tells Emily and Charles about Maria. Charles calls up Elliot, who was getting ready to go to bed with Sara. He tells them about the call and that Jenna wants to end this. Charles tells Elliot to get Sara and meet up at Emily’s home. Elliot says he’s got it, and walks up to Sara.

He informs her about the meeting at Emily’s house and that they have to get going right away. Sara agrees and gives Elliot his gun to take with him. Elliot thanks her before they drive off. We cut back to Lost Woods Resort. Maria wakes up strapped to a chair, with Bethany and Jenna in front of her. Maria shouts at them to let her go. Bethany refuses, stating that it’s “funtime” After receiving a nod of approval from Jenna, Bethany puts the chair on the ground so that Maria is lying on her back.

She lays a washcloth on Maria’s face and begins pouring water on her face, waterboarding her. Jenna watches in satisfaction. Before Maria can drown, Bethany stops, stating that Maria isn’t getting out that easily. When it appears Maria is about to pass out, Bethany spin kicks her across the face. Bethany tells Maria to quit being a baby, and that she’s just getting started. She then begins brutally punching Maria on the ground, while Jenna continues watching. We cut back to Emily’s house.

Elliot, Sara, Spencer, Emily and Charles are talking about Jenna’s call, and will be leaving soon. Spencer is telling everyone the specific rules of the showdown Jenna set. Elliot asks why Jenna would allow him to bring a weapon, as he owns a gun, and Jenna would know that from the shoulder wound he inflicted on Bethany earlier. Sara suggests that Jenna is going to try to steal the gun from him once they arrive. Charles says that is the most likely reason. Emily asks Elliot how many bullets are in the gun.

Elliot checks, and announces there are four left, which will be more than enough to kill both Jenna and Bethany with headshots. Emily asks Spencer if she is certain that Jenna is planning to end everything right here, right now. Spencer confirms this, pointing out that she is holding Maria hostage. Emily says that once they get there, their top priority should be rescuing Maria before engaging the killers. Everyone else agrees. Sara checks the clock, and says it’s about time to leave.

She tells Emily if there was ever a time for a final motivational speech, now’s the time. Emily stands up. She tells everyone that Jenna and Bethany have tormented them for years, some longer than others, some for much less. She says that the point is that everyone has suffered under Jenna Marshall and the Liberators, but that ends tonight. Tonight, they will finally break their restraints, get revenge, and finally move on with their lives. Emily asks the others if they plan to die here tonight. Everyone replies that they are not. Emily says that’s very good to hear.

She then tells everyone to put their hands up together, which they do. Emily demands that everyone make a vow not to die here tonight, which they do. The five then go into Emily’s car and drive toward the final showdown at Lost Woods Resorts. At that same place, Bethany has finished beating up Maria, who is very bloody and torn up at this point. She brings Jenna some jumper cables, and tells her that the survivors will be here soon, so it’s time to get this done.

Jenna asks Maria for any last words. Despite being badly injured, Maria is able to tell Jenna that she is about to die, and her friends will make sure of that. Jenna says that it is “unlikely” and straps the cables to Maria, who is still wet from her waterboarding. Jenna and Bethany then watch as Maria is electrocuted. Maria screams in extreme agony. After several moments, Maria goes limp. Maria Vanderwaal, Season 2 survivor and sister of Mona Vanderwaal, is dead.

Bethany then gets her hatchet out and decapitates Maria’s corpse, before heading to go post it on her pike. After doing so, she hears the survivors arriving, and informs Jenna, who tells her to get the gun from Elliot, after which she will come out to aid her. Jenna goes to hide, while Bethany stays behind to ambush the survivors. Elliot, Sara, Emily, Spencer and Charles walk up to the door. Emily issues a final warning before they go in, asking everyone if they are really ready.

Everyone says that they are. Elliot then opens the door and leads the way, pointing his gun out. They advance down a hallway, which has the pikes with the severed heads of Mike, Mary, Aria, Daniel, Toby, Eric, and now Maria. Emily and Spencer are the most disturbed at this, but when Spencer holds Emily’s hand, the two regain their will and strength. It’s a symbol of sisterly bond between them. After reaching the end of the hallway, they are attacked by Bethany, who knocks the gun out of Elliot’s hand before he can fire.

She dives for the gun, but Charles tackles her. Bethany kicks him off of her and stabs him in the side. Bethany and Elliot grab the gun at the same time. They struggle until Spencer and Emily grab Bethany, restraining her long enough for Elliot regain control of the gun. He shoots his former patient once in the chest and shoulder, incapacitating her. Elliot and a wound Charles walk up to her and inform Bethany that she has lost. Bethany shouts for Jenna to help her.

Jenna does not come out, prompting Bethany to shout louder. Jenna is still nowhere to be seen. Bethany is stunned by this. Elliot asks Emily, Spencer and Sara to watch his back; he wants to talk to Bethany with Charles before she dies. The girls reluctantly allow him to do this, and look out for Jenna. Pointing the gun at her head, Elliot asks Bethany if she ever regrets doing any of this. Bethany says that she doesn’t. Charles asks Bethany if she still loves him. Bethany informs Charles that their love died when Charles turned her in, and she was going to torture him to death.

Elliot tells Bethany that he’s always been trying to help her, but she’s been rejecting him for over a decade, and asks why. Bethany says that she never needed Elliot’s help, and psychopathy was the best thing she ever had in life. The reason why she did all this was for psychopathy and the pleasure of it. She also admits she was in love with Jenna, but not anymore as she has just abandoned her. Charles tells Bethany that she was always headed down the wrong path in life, which is why she told on her when she murdered Marion. Bethany needed help.

Bethany screams at them that she never needs help, and she’s always been fine on her own. She tries to get up, but her two gunshot wounds prevent it. Bethany tries to goad Elliot one last time, telling him that he doesn’t have the strength to pull the trigger and kill his former patient. Elliot says that he’s tried everything to help Bethany, but she’s resisted every single time, and now he has to stop Bethany from hurting anymore people. Elliot mutters “I’m sorry” before pulling the trigger. Bethany Young, the most psychotic killer in the series and 2nd girlfriend of Jenna Marshall, is dead.

Elliot lowers the gun in relief, and begins to cry, saddened by what he had to do to. Charles and Sara hug Elliot and help comfort him. Emily and Spencer say that they hate to interrupt, but Jenna is out there. Jenna still does not appear. Regaining his stability, Elliot suggests that maybe she’s in another room. Sara asks Elliot if he is sure he can continue. Elliot says that he doesn’t really have a choice. When Elliot opens the door to another room, Jenna is on the other side. She slashes Elliot’s chest. Shocked and injured, Elliot drops his gun due to the pain.

Jenna and Emily lung for the gun; Jenna gets it first. She turns to Elliot, and tells him that killing Bethany has assured that he will not be sticking around for the reveal. Jenna shoots Elliot in the stomach with the last bullet in the cop’s gun. Elliot falls to the ground and passes out. Jenna addresses the other four (Sara, Emily, Spencer and Charles), holding them at gunpoint with Elliot’s gun, which by now has only has one bullet left. She says that it’s time for the moment that they’ve been waiting for so long.

Jenna says that she is the mastermind of everything that has happened, and everything that has happened has been because of her. She says that she has fooled all of them for years, reminding Emily that she has been impersonating someone that she knows for so long and she never even realized it. Jenna tells Emily that she takes back to her earlier comment, everything that has happened is because of her. Emily says that is Jenna’s own fault that she descended into psychopathy.

Ignoring the statement, Jenna addresses Spencer, and says that she’s been really been her favorite to play with. It’s a shame that it has too end here. Spencer just glares at Jenna, who acknowledges that the big speech should probably wait until after she unmasks herself. She then tells them to prepare for the biggest shock ever. Jenna removes her hood, voice modulator and, slowly, the mask. It’s time for the big reveal. Jenna Marshall, the mastermind of the Liberators, and the main killer of all three seasons, is impersonating…

Eric Kahn. Smash to black.

Episode 15: The Final Battle Part 2
Everyone starts at “Eric” (Jenna) in shock. “Eric” asks everyone if they are surprised, and if this was worth the wait. Spencer says that Eric can’t be Jenna because he’s dead and Jenna is a female. “Eric” says that he’s not Eric Kahn, and reminds Emily of what he told her in the season 2 finale; he is impersonating someone Emily knows, this being Eric Kahn. Sara says that this makes absolutely no sense. “Eric” decides that he should probably explain. He explains after his fake suicide, he wanted to be sure that nobody could deduce his identity as Jenna Marshall or ever locate him.

Jenna explains that she transitioned into being male to accomplish this goal, and looked all over Rosewood for someone that resembled the most as her being male. Eventually, he noticed that the real Eric Kahn looked the most like him. Jenna snuck into Eric’s house at night and strangled him to death while he was sleeping. Jenna then took up Eric’s identity and has been posing as him before Season 1 started. Jenna burned Eric’s corpse to ashes to make sure he was never found. Jenna says that the funniest part of all of this was pretending to love Spencer, and he never did for a second. He tells her that she really needs to be careful who she has sex with.

Spencer begins to cry, heartbroken at this betrayal. Sara tries to comfort her. Ignoring this, Jenna reveals he was originally going to feign love for Emily, but learned she was lesbian and put Maya in charge of that instead. Maya has been working for Jenna since the beginning, and helped her go into hiding after her fake suicide until she transitioned and murdered Eric. Jenna reveals that she tracked down John in the orphanage he was being held in and adopted him.

After reuniting with her brother, and giving him the adoptive name of Noel Kahn, Jenna made official plans to make the entire town pay for her family’s deaths. John had given Jenna the idea of blackmailing Byron to join their crusade as Liberator D. However, John was too eager to get revenge and he wanted to kill Emily and Spencer early. Not feeling satisfied yet, Jenna decided that John was escalating things too quickly, and that he needed to be stopped. At the Season 1 finale, as John was about to kill Emily and Spencer, Jenna intervened.

He decapitated his brother from behind, and the breakdown he had afterward was real anguish from killing his brother. Emily asks Jenna about the hallucinations he had after John’s death. Jenna reveals that she never had any and made that up to make himself seem innocent (flashbacks in season 2 with hallucinations were a complete lie). Before his killing spree began, he secretly approached Darren, having found him after looking up Richard’s relatives. Darren was the perfect replacement for John, especially with his grudge against Spencer and her family.

At this point, Spencer stops crying and looks up at Jenna. She demands to know why she deserved all of this. Jenna says that Spencer was the best to mess with, and the main reasons were that she was involved with the final showdown with John, and for killing Darren, but they’ll get to that later. At her second killing spree, Jenna was devastated when her lover (Maya) was killed early. Furious, Jenna narrowed his grudge from the entire town to Emily and her friends. He vowed to avenge Maya, the partner she loved the most, by killing them all.

Emily says that Maya’s death isn’t her fault, and Jenna is an idiot for allowing her to be in a Liberator B costume while she was armed; Jenna then shoots Sara in the leg. Sara screams, eventually losing consciousness due to blood loss. Emily calls Jenna “a fucking bastard” Jenna says that Emily doesn’t know half of it, and threatens to kill Sara with another bullet if she insults him again. Emily, unaware that was the last bullet, complies. Spencer asks Jenna if Darren was always his right hand man. Jenna reveals that he was originally going to let Darren die and escape with Maya in the season 2 finale.

However, after Maya was killed, Jenna realized that she needed Wilden around and saved him from Spencer. Charles asks Jenna how he got to recruit Bethany. Jenna says that they thought of her after saving Darren from Spencer. He and Jenna were convinced Bethany was the perfect replacement, so they broke her out of Welby and recruited her. Spencer asks “Eric” how he faked his death. Jenna says they are just getting to that. Before Spencer killed Darren, he told Jenna what to do if Spencer managed to kill him.

Darren told Jenna to propose to Spencer, and then fake his death on the same day, hoping this would drive Spencer to commit suicide. Jenna agreed and set up the scene with Bethany. Since Jenna faked his death once, he was confident that he could do it again. After Bethany killed Daniel and Toby, she texted him over to come. Jenna texted Spencer to come to lure her into the scene. He then poured fake blood onto himself, before Bethany injected Jenna with a drug that slowed his heartbeat and relaxed his muscles. This make him look like a corpse when Bethany, in Jenna’s costume, threw Jenna down the stairs.

Bethany swinging the hatchet down to decapitate Jenna was an earlier attempt to kill him, but Bethany changed her mind and went with the original plan. Jenna reveals that the body the police collected was a fake body double he made; he threatened the medical examiners to say otherwise. However, although Spencer attempted suicide, she survived, which annoyed Jenna. Spencer asks Jenna if he ever loved her. Jenna reminds Spencer that he has already told her the truth. Spencer screams that she needs closure and demands Jenna answer it. Jenna confirms she never loved Spencer, and the “Eric Kahn” she knew was always false. He faked his love for Spencer all the time, including the marrage proposal, saving her from John, comforting Spencer after she killed Jessie and Nancy's death.

Spencer is very angered at this, and clenches her fists. She looks just about ready to lunge at Jenna, that is, if he wasn’t holding an (empty) gun. Spencer mutters at Jenna “I hate you” Jenna smiles and tells Spencer that he hates her too. Charles asks Jenna if she really loved Bethany. Jenna tells Charles that she will always love Maya more than anyone, but admits that he really did have feelings for Bethany, despite the conflicts he had her. Pointing down at Elliot’s body, Jenna says that he sealed his fate the moment he shot Bethany in the head. He says that he regrets not intervening earlier, but Jenna was being as cautious as possible to get the gun.

Jenna says that after he’s finished here, he’s going to burn down Lost Woods Resort with everyone’s corpses still inside. Afterward, he will ultimately commit suicide so he can rejoin John and Maya, with his crusade finished. Pointing the gun at Emily, Jenna tells her that this is for Maya. When he pulls the trigger, everyone realizes that the gun is unloaded. Jenna is surprised, but says it doesn’t matter, and that he has a backup plan. Jenna then pulls out a Molotov cocktail, and announces that everyone is going die, and that he doesn’t care if he has to die with them.

He then throws the cocktail on the floor, setting the building on fire. The fire quickly spreads due to the flammable wooden floor. Seeing the danger, Spencer, Charles and Emily quickly seize Elliot and Sara, trying to get them out of the fire. Jenna, however, blocks their way with his knife, intent on making sure that they die with him. Emily says that she’ll hold Jenna off while Spencer and Charles carry Elliot and Sara out. They do so. Meanwhile, Emily and Jenna throw punches and kicks. They demonstrate strong self-defense, as well as fighting skills. Although Jenna defeated Emily last time they fought, Emily proves she is just as determined, if not more so, than last time.

Jenna’s knife gets knocked into the fire out of reach. After getting Sara and Elliot out, Spencer and Charles rush back inside Lost Woods Resort to help Emily, despite the fact that it is burning down. Emily kicks Jenna in the face, and repeatedly punches her in the face. Jenna tries to put Emily into a chokehold and walk toward the fire, intending to have her burn to death with him. Charles and Spencer run in, with the former freeing Emily. Spencer spin kicks Jenna across the face. Spencer screams at him that he’s manipulated her for years and that she loved him.

Jenna tells Spencer that she is most stupid and idiotic of all the “dolls” she’s played with, even more than Aria or Emily. Spencer tells Jenna that she will never be her doll, and attacks him out of anger, while the entire building is now starting to collapse. Falling rubble separates Spencer and Jenna from Emily and Charles, forcing them to flee outside. Jenna sees Emily and Charles fleeing, but can’t stop them. Jenna says that he’s going to have to settle with just killing Spencer. Jenna tries to strangle Spencer, who strangles him back.

Spencer’s grip is stronger, despite Jenna giving it his all. Spencer, however, looks at the flames and gets a better idea. She shoves Jenna into the flames, which sets him on fire. Jenna screams out in pain and agony. Spencer yells at Jenna to “burn in hell!” before fleeing out the back door. She meets up with Emily and Charles, who started to think she was dead, and hugs them. Charles says that this is usually the part where the killer comes back for one final scare. Just then, Jenna runs out of the building. Jenna is completely engulfed in flames, but is still trying to charge toward Charles, Emily and Spencer.

He is trying to scream something at the survivors, but it’s made nonsense due to the pain the flames are giving him. Before Jenna can reach the survivors, he finally falls over, succumbs to the fire, and burns to death. Jenna Marshall, Liberator A, the mastermind of the Rosewood murder sprees, and the impersonator of Eric Kahn, is finally dead. Emily, Charles and Spencer walk over to his corpse. Charles says it looks like he’s dead now. Emily kicks Jenna’s charred head and concludes that Charles is right. It’s finally over. Spencer asks what they are going to do now.

Emily tells Charles to call 911 for Sara and Elliot, and once they have recovered, it’s time to start their new lives. We cut to two years later at Spencer’s home, where Sara, Charles and Elliot, having all survived their injuries, are there with Emily and Spencer. Emily and Sara are engaged and have a wedding coming up in a few weeks. Sara has moved in permanently with Elliot, who has retired from being a therapist and is focused on taking care of his adoptive daughter (Sara). Spencer has given up dating, and has decided that her friends is all she needs. Charles has written a book with her about the Rosewood murders with her. It was a huge success, and a movie trilogy is in development.

The four teen survivors are going to be graduating college soon, with Elliot promising to come by and watch. In present day, five survivors are sitting at a table together, gathering for the second anniversary of Bethany and Jenna’s deaths. On each anniversary, they have a toast for all those who have died (except for the killers). Everyone clanks their cups together and drink. Spencer, sitting next to Emily, tells her that even though they’ve lost so many people they loved, they won in the long run. Emily agrees, and hugs Spencer. We pan out as the survivors continue talking and laughing. The Pretty Little Screamers trilogy is over. Everyone, thank you for watching.
