Episode 1
We open on a house, where there is a loud Halloween party going on. There are many teens inside, dancing and laughing. We focus on two of them named Fred and George Weasley, twin boys. Fred is wearing a vampire costume, while George is wearing a zombie costume. George tells everyone that he is Fred, and Fred is George. Fred hits him on the arm slightly and the twins share a laugh. George says that he’s gonna go get some beer and goes off. As he does so, George’s phone rings and he finds a message from “Fear”

George picks it up and asks who this is. The caller says that he is “your greatest nightmare” George says that unless the caller is the Norris-Thing from The Thing 1982 film, then he doubts that highly. The caller says that he can be anything that George fears, and tells him that George need a lesson in fear, due to his costume not being scary. Not understanding, George says that he has to go and hangs up.

We cut to somewhere outside, where the caller is watching the house from the distance. After putting down the phone, the caller is revealed to be Scarecrow. He says that it’s time to see everyone’s greatest fears come to life, and heads toward the house. As Scarecrow reaches the house, two drunk boys notice him and block him. Scarecrow asks what their problem is. The drunk teenagers say that they don’t really like Scarecrows, and Scarecrow should leave before something happens to him.

Scarecrow says that he’ll leave, but asks first if there was one animal they are afraid of the most, what it would be. Both of them say they are afraid of snakes. Scarecrow says that he was hoping they would say that. Just then, a huge green snake leaps onto the first teenager’s neck and bites into it with it's fangs. We recognize the snake as Nagini. The second teenager goes to stomp on Nagini, but Scarecrow slashes his throat with his glove, which has very sharp syringes, with something inside of them. Both teenagers are dead.

Meanwhile, we cut to the back entrance of the house, where three female teenagers are talking. Near them is another dark figure in the woods, who we recognize to be Firefly, armed with a military grade flamethrower. Firefly says that Octavia needs to burn, it’s shrouded in darkness, and he just wants to bring a little light. He walks up to the three girls. They see Firefly and tell him that that is the worst Halloween costume they have ever seen, saying that arsonists are not scary at all.

The girls proceed to laugh at Firefly, who replies with “You say arsonist, I say... arsonISTE!" Firefly then advances toward the girls and sets all three of them on fire. They scream very loudly, but the music inside the house blocks off their screams. The girls eventually burn to death while Firefly watches. Firefly says “Oooh. GOD, I'm good." He then goes inside of the house. There, Scarecrow looks around and walks up to the bar. He takes off his mask and grabs a shot of alcohol and drinks it.

We don’t see his face, of course He says that was refreshing, and then drinks another shot. After putting his mask back on, and looking at his syringes, Scarecrow says that his fear toxin is going to work like a charm. Firefly watches Scarecrow talk to himself. He says that he may have competition ahead of him, and calls the prospect “Interesting” Firefly goes upstairs to a bedroom, where George, Fred, and Fred’s girlfriend, Myrtle, are. Fred and Myrtle are in the middle of flirting when they notice Firefly.

Fred asks Firefly if they can have some privacy here. Firefly shakes his head and says “Nope”, before spewing fire at them with his flamethrower. This horrifies Fred, George and Myrtle, who are trapped between the flames and a window. Fred calls Firefly an “insane motherfucker” Firefly says that he’s a pyromaniac, and there is a huge difference with that and an insane motherfucker. At George’s urging, he, Fred and Myrtle climb out of the window to escape.

Firefly says that he’ll deal with them later, and starts spraying fire all over the house with his flamethrower, causing it to start burning down. There are about four more teens, two female and two male, left downstairs, who panic and run out of the house upon seeing the flames. Scarecrow has also left. As the four teens run away, they are ambushed by another dark figure. We recognize this one as Bloody Face, who runs at the teens.

Bloody Face stabs a male teen in the head and the other in the heart. He takes out a hatchet and decapitate a female teen, then throws the other against a tree and strangles her to death. Bloody Face doesn’t say anything as he does this, or admire his kills. Instead, Bloody Face walks away. We cut to Fred, George and Myrtle, who are running away from the house. Just then, Nagini and Scarecrow jump out. Fred asks how many freaks are in this place. Myrtle says that she has no idea.

Nagini jumps onto Myrtle and wraps herself around her throat, subduing her. Fred and George try to pull Nagini off, but Scarecrow hits them both in the head with a crowbar, knocking them unconscious. Scarecrow then goes to Myrtle. He says that fear dominates all people, and nobody knows that except for him. Scarecrow says “Do you know what happens when a person refuses to be controlled by their fears? They must face them!” Scarecrow injects fear toxin into Myrtle’s neck (CLICK HERE to see how the fear toxin works) and wonders what will happen.

Nagini lets Myrtle go so that Scarecrow can witness what happens with her fully. Myrtle then witnesses Scarecrow transforming into a hideous demonic figure with wings and claws. The demonic Scarecrow does a demonic scream at Myrtle, which causes her to go hysterical and try to flee. The demonic Scarecrow pins Myrtle against a tree and puts his rotting face close to her. Myrtle eventually gets so terrified that she suffers a panic attack, which escalates into a heart attack.

Since nobody is around to help her, it’s clear that she will not survive. Myrtle, girlfriend of Fred Weasley, is dead. Firefly and Bloody Face watch the entire fear toxin attack from some distance. It’s clear that both at least have mild shock and interest at the toxin’s capability. Firefly says that there is no way that toxin is coming near him. He leaves, and so does the silent Bloody Face. By now, the house has burnt down. Scarecrow takes Nagini into his arms and says that Octavia will drown in fear. Cut to black.

Episode 2
We cut on Scarecrow and Nagini. They arrive at their hideout, which is revealed to be a burnt down fire station. He walks up to a sheet of metal and lifts it, revealing a trapdoor. Scarecrow unlocks it and opens it. He climbs down with Nagini, and closes and locks the trapdoor. He climbs down the ladder, into his lair, some kind of underground bunker. Scarecrow says that he was really lucky to be able to find this place. They travel deeper into the bunker.

Scarecrow tells Nagini that she’s been a very good girl tonight, and she deserves a prize. He gives her some snake food, which Nagini eats. Scarecrow pets Nagini, who looks up to his master. It’s clear that although Nagini is evil, she loves Scarecrow. Scarecrow says that all of Octavia will succumb to their fears, and it’s only a matter of time. Should Firefly and Bloody Face get in the way, they will be dispatched. We open on the next morning at the Sanders home.

Erika wakes up there, having spent the night with her father, Tom, and her stepmother, Molly Wesley. She climbs out of bed and puts on her clothes. Erika gets herself energetic by putting on headphones and playing some rock music. Her stepmother, Molly, tries to tell her something, but Erika doesn’t hear her. Molly responds by yanking the headphones off to get her attention.

Erika says that she was listening to music. Molly says that a good girl should never have music on when a parent is in the room, and calls her “naughty” Erika reminds Molly that she is 24 years old, and she doesn’t actually live here. Molly says that may be true, but she’s the mother around here. It’s clear that Molly is a very energetic mother, despite her age, and is very talkative and protective of her children, like in the Harry Potter franchise.

When Erika tries to make breakfast via pancakes, Molly stops her and starts making the pancakes instead, as she’s been using the household kitchen for a very long time. Molly says that this is her kitchen, and it’s like a bedroom to her. Erika tells Molly that she is a very “interesting” stepmother. Just then, they get a knock on the door. Erika answers it to find George, Fred and their father, Tom Sanders. George and Fred have ice packs on their heads due to being with Scarecrow’s crowbar.

Molly quickly stops making breakfast to seat Fred and George, who explain the events of last night. Fred is depressed about Myrtle’s death, though they only dated for about two weeks. Tom says that by the look of this, there is an arsonist and a costumed killer in Octavia. Molly and Erika are stunned by this. We cut to sometime later at a coffee shop, where John Rivers, Erika’s boyfriend, is sitting on a table.

He is joined by his sister, Emily Rivers, and his friends Miles Baker, David Bates, and a few other unnamed people. Emily asks him why they called them over for a meeting. John tells them a house got burned down by an arsonist, and 9 people were murdered. He also tells them about Erika’s stepbrothers being attacked by masked killers while there, which Erika told him about. Miles says that is insane.

David asks if they know who did it. John says that right now, they don’t know anything, except other than the killers were dressed like Firefly and Scarecrow from the Batman Arkham video games. He then reveals that Miles is a huge fan of those games, and that Scarecrow is his favorite villain. Pamela suggests someone really fucked up would have to do it, someone like Miles. Emily says that Miles could be fucked up. Miles says that he’s fucked up, but he isn’t that fucked up. The adults laugh at the joke.

We cut to the Octavia high school, where Fred and George’s friends are sitting in a hallway having lunch. They consist of Walter Jones, Olivia Richmond, Harry Potter and Ginny Chapman, who are all talking about the killings last night. Harry says he never expected something to happen in a quiet town like this. Walter asks Harry if he knows about what happened in town 15 years ago. Ginny, Olivia and Harry say no. Walter says that this town has a bad history, which he knows since he is into horror.

Before Walter can say anything earlier, Harry’s glasses are suddenly stolen by a bully named Draco Malfoy. He is joined by a few friends of his, Pansy Parkinson, Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle. Harry tries to tell Draco to give him his glasses back, as he can’t see well without them. Draco taunts Harry by putting his glasses high up enough so that he cannot reach them. Olivia, Walter and Ginny tell Draco to piss off and give him the glasses back.

Draco says that if Harry gives him the ten dollars back, he will. It is then revealed that a couple weeks ago, Draco and Harry engaged in a bet on who could pull a better prank, in which Draco put a dead fish in Harry’s locker, but Harry won by pelting Draco with several water balloons. Harry makes Draco a deal: if he can pull a better prank then he did, right now, then Draco gets to keep the glasses, forever. Draco’s friends urge him to accept, believing there is no way he could lose. A smug Draco does so.

He goes to up to the fire alarm and sets it off, even though there is no fire in sight. Pancy, Vincent and Goyle smile in triumph. Just then, a teacher comes out and demands to know who set off the alarm, prompting Draco to accuse Harry of the deed to avoid getting into trouble. The teacher then tells Harry “Well, thank goodness you did. The microwave in the teacher's lounge just burst into flames!” Another teacher then runs out of the teacher’s lounge carrying the burning microwave. Draco and his friends stare in shock and disbelief that the prank failed.

He angrily gives Harry his glasses back before leaving with Pancy, Vincent and Goyle. Harry then proceeds to high five his friends. We cut to the burnt down house. Tom Sanders, Erika’s father, and stepfather of Fred and George, is on the scene with several police officers, including his deputy, Jack Chapman, Ginny’s father. The bodies of the nine teenagers, including Myrtle, have been taken away already. Chapman and Tom talk about what happened.

Chapman says that the last time that they’ve seen something like this happen was 15 years ago. Tom says that he remembers, but says that it couldn’t possibly be connected. Chapman says that there is no way that this was an accident, and points out that both of his stepsons were present at the party. Tom says that this is true, but is skeptical about someone holding a grudge for 15 years straight. Chapman says that Tom may have a point, but they shouldn’t rule anything out here, since they know this was deliberate and direct murder.

He says that both of their children could be in danger, because of what they did together. Tom acknowledges this, and says that Chapman is pretty smart. Chapman reminds Tom that he took lots of criminal psychology lessons before he enlisted in the police force. They go around the house, hoping to find some kind of evidence, but they do not. Tom says that he has a very bad feeling about this. We cut to Erika at her home, where she lives alone. Her house phone rings.

When Erika answers the phone (while standing next to a window), and asks who this is, the voice replies “Your greatest fears” (meaning that this is Scarecrow). Scarecrow tells Erika that he knows her, everything about her. Erika tells Scarecrow to get lost, and goes to hang up, when Scarecrow yells that if she hangs up on him now, Fred will get gutted like a pig. Erika stays on the line and says that she isn’t afraid of him. Scarecrow says that he already knows her greatest fear, and begins a monologue.

SCARECROW: It’s all so simple really. Your family. You blame yourself for the condition of your stepbrothers, if not now, later. You need to protect them, your father, your stepbrothers, so you introduce yourself as the powerful and strong woman that can take on anything. Just like Tom and Molly do. I can see through it perfectly. Buried deep down is the inevitability that you will one day fail. You are afraid. Let me demonstrate that.”

JUMP SCARE: A CHAINSAW BURSTS THROUGH THE WINDOW RIGHT NEXT TO ERIKA, MISSING HER HEAD BY INCHES.

Erika screams loudly and drops her phone. Scarecrow is on the other side of the window, having thrust the chainsaw through it. He pulls the chainsaw back toward him and turns it off. Scarecrow says that Octavia’s fears will consume it, drown it. The Sanders/Weasley family will fall, and Erika will suffer the most out of everyone. Scarecrow walks away. Erika stares in shock. Cut to black.

Episode 3
We open right where the last episode left off, around nighttime now. Tom and Chapman are on the scene, and there some guys fixing the broken window. Chapman is writing down Erika’s explanation for what happened. Tom asks what Scarecrow talked about on the phone, and looks disturbed when Erika explains that he is obsessed with fear. She asks Tom if he thinks that this is about what happened 15 years ago, which she also knows about. Tom says maybe, but says that they shouldn’t tell Fred, Molly, George or Ginny.

Erika says that they may not have a choice. Just then, John comes up. Erika hugs him. He says that he came over as soon as heard about what happened, and asks if she already. Erika says that she is, and it’s going to take way more than a broken window to take her out. John says the same. She says that she is a little nervous though, and asks if John would like to stay with her for the night. John says that likelihood of saying no to Erika is a negative infinity. She smiles, and he and John enter the house together.

We cut to the next morning at the Octavia high school, where George, Fred, Olivia, Walter, Harry and Ginny are all gathering. Ginny is telling George and Fred about Scarecrow visiting Erika, which was on the news this morning. George and Fred say that they know, but unlike most other situations with them, this isn’t funny at all. They ask if the subject could be toward something that doesn’t involve murder. Walter says pretty much all he talks about is math and horror.

Harry and Ginny step up to defuse the situation. Ginny asks everyone to guess what Harry and her have started doing. Fred guesses that they have started dating. Harry asks how he knew. Fred says that he could see the looks on their faces, and it’s easy to guess what they do. George adds that it is really obvious. Walter and Olivia say that it’s about time, and they even made bets as to when they would finally start. Olivia then gives Walter one dollar, since he predicted they would start this month.

As they talk, it is shown that Bloody Face is watching them from a distance. He is examining the group, one by one, as if picking a random victim. He stands there and spies on them for a while. Eventually, Bloody Face leaves, though it’s hard to tell who he picked, or even if he picked somebody or not. We cut to the adult group (Erika, John, Emily, Pamela, David, and Miles). They are talking about Erika’s encounter with Scarecrow.

Erika says that the bastard just caught her by surprise, and she can kick his ass with one hand tied behind her back. John says not if he gets to Scarecrow first. They laugh at the thought. Emily says that it may not be that easy to take down a serial killer, especially if there is more than one. David says that Emily does have a point, and the Scarecrow must be wicked smart to be able to make fear toxin.

Pamela says that they should try to catch the killers before they kill anyone else. Miles suggests that they should just let the police handle that. Pamela reminds Miles that the police are pretty much useless in horror movies, even though this is life. She reminds every one of her desire to become a police officer, and says that maybe this is a good opportunity to get prepared. Erika tells her not to get too confident, which could lead to her downfall. Pamela says that she’ll try her best.

We cut to George and Fred’s home. They arrive back from school to find a package on the front door, and a note that says “If you want some answers, you’ll open the package – S” George quickly realizes that the S stands for Scarecrow and they take the box inside to Molly. When asked if they should open it, Molly decides that she doesn’t see any harm in opening a package. Molly takes out a box cutter and begins cutting her way through the package. She is just about finished when…

JUMP SCARE: NAGINI BURSTS THROUGH THE PACKAGE.

Molly, George and Fred scream. Nagini lunges at Molly, but she manages to duck just in time. It’s clear that Scarecrow smuggled Nagini in the package and left her at the front door to attack the Weasleys. Nagini hisses at George and starts to slither toward him. Molly yells “Not my son you bitch!” She starts throwing some pots and pans at Nagini, which agitates her. Nagini lunges at Molly and succeeds in biting her in the forearm. The Weasleys scream over this.

Fred throws a tissue box at Nagini to get her away from his mother and uses a chair as a shield. Nagini lunges at him and they both fall to the floor. She attempts to bite Fred in the face, but George grabs Nagini to pull her back. In response, Nagini hisses in his face and tries to bite him, but George headbutts the snake (without hitting the fangs). Nagini lets out another hiss at George before slithering away. Fred then tells George that “Now I see why Indiana Jones hates snakes so much”

The twins then tend to Molly in the kitchen and bandage up her forearm. It appears that Nagini’s bite did not hit a major artery, but Molly is still bleeding. She tells her sons that it will take more than just a snake to take her away from them. We cut to Olivia’s house. She is sitting in her room, looking up some clothes. It’s obvious that Olivia has a thing for fashion. She eventually goes downstairs to have dinner with her parents. When she arrives at the dining room table, Olivia starts screaming.

It then turns out that her mother has had her throat slit, and her father has had a fence pole impaled through his head. Their corpses are seated on the chairs. Just then, Bloody Face runs in. He is carrying a power drill, which he proceeds to drive into her chest. Olivia screams and asks Bloody Face why he is doing this. Bloody Face doesn’t answer her and drives the power drill into her head. Olivia Richmond is dead. Bloody Face then walks away from the three corpses. Cut to black.

Episode 4
We open on the next morning at Olivia’s house. Her body, as well of those of her parents, are being taken away. Chapman and the police are on the scene, though Tom isn’t there because he heard of the attack on his family. Ginny, Walter and Harry come up to the scene. They ask Chapman what happened. He tells them that Olivia and her parents were murdered. Harry says that is insane. Ginny turns away when she sees her friend’s body being taken away. Chapman helps comfort his daughter.

At the hospital, Molly has her arm bandaged up. George, Fred, Erika and Tom are all beside her. Tom and Erika ask what happened. George says a huge snake attacked them, and was smuggled within a package by Scarecrow. Tom says that he did see bite marks on one of the victims in episode 1, but never thought a killer would start having vicious pets. Molly says that the snake wasn’t that vicious. George reminds Molly that she nearly died.

Molly insists that no snake is going to keep her away from her sons, or by extension, her kitchen. Tom asks that Molly at least stay in the hospital for the rest of the day. She reluctantly agrees to do this. Tom then gets a call from Chapman, who tells him about the deaths of Olivia and her parents. Chapman tells him that the body count is now up to thirteen. Tom, out of anger, kicks a wall. He says that he hoped that he would never have to deal with this again.

Chapman says that the last thing they need right now is them destroying walls (which he guessed randomly), and they need to focus on stopping the killers. Tom agrees and asks if Chapman knows which killer it was. Chapman says that there were no burn marks on the victims, or signs of fear toxin. This makes both of them think that it wasn’t Firefly or Scarecrow. Tom hangs up. The Weasley twins ask Tom what he meant by “again” when he preferred to dealing with the killing spree.

Tom says that he doesn’t want to talk about it. He leaves. George says that there is obviously some kind of dark past this town has. Fred suggests that they go to Walter, the horror nerd, for some answers. George agrees. We cut to Erika’s house, where she comes back from the hospital. Erika dials John’s phone number and calls him. She tells him about how bad the situation is getting, with her stepfamily being attacked by a vicious snake. John says that this is one fucked up town.

Erika responds “Tell me about it” She tells John that she, Tom and Chapman have been keeping secrets, and Erika believes it may have something to do with the Scarecrow and Firefly. John asks what it is. Before Erika can speak further, her head gets smacked by a hard cover book. The attacker is revealed as Scarecrow, who takes the phone and speaks in Erika’s voice, telling John that she’ll tell him later, and would like some alone time to think about it. John goes along with it and hangs up.

Scarecrow tells Erika that it’s time to explore her greatest fears. Erika goes to hit Scarecrow, but he dodges. He jabs the glove syringes into Erika’s neck, injecting the fear toxin inside of her. As Erika begins to hallucinate, Scarecrow laughs and says “Welcome to my world, Erika!” She falls unconscious. We cut to Walter’s home, where he is meeting up with George and Fred. They ask Walter if the town has any dark secrets. Walter says yes, and pulls up Wikipedia on his computer.

He reads the page aloud, and reveals that 15 years ago, there was a killing spree in this same town. Walter says that the killer was a man dressed as a Scarecrow, named Gerald Crane (Scarecrow’s real name in the Batman universe). Crane was the scientist for Tarvender, and was the younger cousin of the old and deceased president, Coriolanus Snow. Gerald had sent some time perfecting fear toxin in order to explore people’s fears, and eventually took it out on field tests.

The location of these field tests were in Octavia, and Gerald drove three several people to insanity and five to death. Gerald was so determined to perfect his fear gas that he tested it on his own son, Jonathan Crane. Gerald was subsequently killed by the last people he targeted in self-defense. As for Jonathan, he was taken to a mental asylum, permanently traumatized by the fear toxin. He was released about two years ago, and has vanished ever since. After finishing the article, George suggests that Jonathan could be the Scarecrow.

Fred says that is true, and asks if there is anything on Firefly. Walter looks it up and reads that there was an arsonist in the town, also related to Tarvender, which everyone already knows about. His name was Garfield Lynns (Firefly’s real name in the Batman universe). Garfield had developed an obsession with fire, and had been a serial arsonist for a long time. Eventually, Garfield and a few Tarvenders attacked the local fire station (where Scarecrow’s lair is), and burnt it down. However, the fire went out of control and severely burnt Garfield.

This was four months ago, but Garfield’s corpse was never found, though the serial fires have stopped…until now. Fred says that must be it. Garfield is Firefly, and Jonathan is Scarecrow. Walter says that it seems obvious, almost too obvious. The trio think over it. We cut to back to Erika. She wakes up, and hallucinates herself in some kind of rotting hospital. The area is extremely dark, and the only source of light is that pointing to the morgue.

Seeing no other option, Erika heads down the hallway to the morgue and enters it. She sees three body bags are shaking, meaning something is in them. Erika attempts to leave, but hears a demonic voice yell “STAY OR PERISH” She reluctantly heads toward the bags. Upon zipping one open, Erika finds a corpse of a woman. She gasps and mutters “Mommy?” Erika’s mother’s corpse turns toward Erika and raises her hand toward her. She says “Help us, Erika. Don’t let us die!” before vanishing (Reminder: Molly is Erika’s stepmother).

Although disturbed, Erika opens the next body bag, which contains the corpse of a small female child, about 8 years old, which Erika is even more horrified at. She calls the child “Aria” Aria’s corpse turns toward Erika and says “Why didn’t you save me?” before vanishing. When Erika turns to the third and final body bag, she sees it violently shaking. Erika slowly approaches the body bag, which suddenly stops shaking. She zips open the body bag.

JUMP SCARE: THE SCARECROW BURSTS FROM THE BODY BAG AND DEMONICALLY SCREAMS AT ERIKA

Erika falls to the ground in horror. When she gets up, the body bags and the Scarecrow are no longer around. However, when she turns around, she finds herself in some kind of alternate reality. Erika is standing on a platform, and there are several other platforms leading to some kind of cannon. Underneath the platforms is a bottomless dark pit. Just then, Erika hears demonic laughter. A giant Scarecrow emerges from the pit, floating.

Erika hides behind a wall from Scarecrow’s gaze, which can be noticed on the floor as some kind of fiery gaze. The giant Scarecrow searches for Erika, as she jumps from platform to platform, while avoiding Scarecrow’s gaze. As she advances on, Scarecrow says “What’s wrong Erika? Do you need your mommy? She’s gone. Don’t worry, I’ll make it all better” Erika is obviously horrified, but keeps herself together.

Eventually, Erika reaches the cannon just as Scarecrow spots her. Scarecrow tells her “This won’t hurt a bit. It will hurt a lot” and prepares to stab her with the fear glove, but Erika activates the cannon. The cannon fires at Scarecrow, causing him to scream and explode. Erika subsequently wakes up in the real world, finally fighting off the toxin. She screams out that she is not afraid of Scarecrow. Scarecrow, who is outside the house, watches. He is clearly shocked that Erika survived the fear toxin without going insane. Scarecrow then flees. Cut to black.

Episode 5
We open sometime after the last episode ended. Erika is now at the Sanders house with Tom, George and Fred, having walked over there after her encounter with Scarecrow. She is crying over her hallucinations, and tells Tom that she saw mom. Tom comforts her, saying that it was only a hallucination. George says that if Scarecrow tried to drive Erika insane, than there is something going on here, something more than normal. Tom asks what George means.

Fred tells Tom that they know about Gerald and Jonathan Crane, as well as Garfield’s disappearance. The twins ask Tom if this is a secret that he was trying to hide from them. Tom and Erika say that they aren’t ready to know the full details. George says that Johnathan and Garfield must be the Scarecrow and Firefly, therefore, there is nothing else not to know. Erika claims that this family has been hiding dark secrets, which Tom revealed to her when she turned twenty.

When Fred demands to know this secret because of its apparent seriousness, Tom says that the secret is just too bad for them to know. At Erika’s urging, George and Fred agree to wait to hear the secret, but say that it has to come soon. Erika then goes up to her bedroom. She silently cries to herself. We open on the next morning at Ginny’s house. She is just waking up from bed, about to get breakfast going. However, when she opens her eyes, the Scarecrow is on top of her.

He threatens to stab Ginny in the throat if she tries to scream, and she remains quiet. The Scarecrow says that he hasn’t had time to introduce himself to her for a while, but she needs to start becoming less oblivious to her life. Ginny quietly asks who he is, and Scarecrow introduces himself. He says that there is something about Ginny’s past that makes her special and potentially useful to him. Ginny asks Scarecrow what he is talking about.

Scarecrow says that there is something in Ginny’s past that he doesn’t remember, but eventually, she will. He says that if she wants a hint, then he’ll give her one: Chapman is keeping secrets from his daughter. Ginny is confused and surprised by this. Scarecrow tells her to keep quiet about this for at least two days. He leaves out the window that he came in. Ginny cries on her bed momentarily, before pulling herself together and heading downstairs.

We cut to Firefly. He is roaming around in the woods. Firefly is looking for someone foolish enough to wonder into the woods alone, hoping to use them to test out his flamethrower again. As he looks around, Firefly eventually finds two random teens (one male and female) walking in the woods. Firefly says that this town is full of idiots, and it’s a real good thing he’s doing this.

Firefly jumps out in front of the teens, yells “FIREBALL!” and sets the two teens on fire. The boy and girl scream from the pain. Firefly admires the smell of their burning flesh. He takes out a notepad and takes notes of how the smell of burning flesh is. Eventually, the two teens finish burning to death. Firefly says that this burning spree just keeps getting better and better. He walks off.

We cut to the adult group (excluding Erika, who is still recovering). They are all talking about Erika’s exposure to fear toxin, which John talked to her on the phone about briefly. Emily says that Erika must be traumatized. Pamela says that she can’t believe that the police have absolutely no leads on the Scarecrow, or Firefly. Miles says that it’s awful. David says that this is getting way out of hand, and suggests that they might become targets of Scarecrow.

John asks why he thinks that. David says that most serial killers that he’s heard of target those closest to the final girl (Erika), and all of them are friends of Erika. John insists that they cannot let paranoia overcome them. Eventually the group leaves. Pamela, who is next to David, asks him why he wears a long sleeve shirt all the time. David says that it just feels comfortable. Pamela reminds David that it is over 70 degrees, and he’s wearing a long sleeve shirt.

David says that it is not Pamela’s business, and walks away. As he does, David briefly rolls up his sleeve, which reveals marks on his arm, burn marks to be exact. He says that nobody can know about this. Sometime later, John and Emily are at their house. Emily expresses her worries about being targeted, but John says that he wouldn’t let anything happen to her. Emily thanks John his support, and tries to engage him in a sibling hug.

As he is about to, Bloody Face runs up. He hits her in the head with a baseball bat, knocking her unconscious. John tackles Bloody Face before he can hit him too. They start wrestling on the ground. John hits Bloody Face in the head with a vase, and goes to grab the bat, but Bloody Face gets it first and smacks John’s legs. Bloody Face beats John unconscious. Instead of killing the twins on the spot, however, Bloody Face drags Emily and John away. Cut to black.

Episode 6
We cut a warehouse, where John and Emily wake up, tied to chairs. Emily asks where they are, and what happened. John says that they were attacked by some “monster” Just then, Bloody Face comes out. He tells John and Emily that while he usually likes to remain silent, he’ll make an exception, and tells them his alias. John says that Bloody Face’s costume suits him, and symbolizes his “butt ugliness” Bloody Face says that insulting him is really the last thing that John should be doing right now.

Emily asks why Bloody Face is doing this. Bloody Face that it’s a long story, and as for them, he’s killed all of his other victims on the spot. He says that there is a special reason why he hasn’t killed John or Emily, at least not yet. Bloody Face says that they’ll know soon. He walks away. Near nighttime, Fred, George and Tom are having dinner when they get a knock on the door. George goes to answer it, but Tom decides that it would be a better idea if he does, in case if someone is there.

Tom opens it to find that Molly has returned from the hospital. Tom hugs her and takes her to the kitchen table. Molly that no snake is going to keep her from her kitchen, or her family by extension. George says that Molly is probably the most energetic old woman that he’s ever seen. Molly says that’s an understatement. They laugh. Tom says that from now on, if anyone gets a package from Scarecrow, they must never open it. Everyone agrees.

We cut to Erika’s house. She is about to go to bed. Just then, her phone rings. He answers it. It's Firefly. He asks Erika what she values more: her boyfriend, or her house. Erika asks who he is speaking to. Firefly says that's not important. What is important is that Erika needs to look in her hallway before her house goes up in flames. He hangs up. Erika opens the hallway to find gasoline on the floor, and Firefly with his flamethrower. Erika shouts at him not to set the gasoline on fire.

Firefly says that he won’t if Erika goes down the stairs, pointing his flamethrower at her. Erika goes downstairs with her hands up. Firefly asks the question again on whether she values her boyfriend or her house more. Erika says that he would trade a million houses for John, and asks why he’s asking this. Firefly explains that he has a grudge against the Sanders/Weasley family, including Erika. However, Firefly has decided that there are “greater concerns” to deal with right now.

Firefly reveals that he knows John and Emily have been kidnapped by Bloody Face, and tells Erika, who is confused as she doesn’t know about Bloody Face. After clarifying that there are three human killers, he says that he wants less competition, and wants Erika to kill/arrest Bloody Face so that Firefly can have an easier time of killing. Firefly also gives her directions to the warehouse, and threatens to set the house on fire if she doesn’t go now. Erika says that she’ll do it, but tells Firefly that they are not friends.

Firefly says the same, and also that he killed two random teens earlier, and left their corpses by the warehouse. Before leaving, Erika asks Firefly why he doesn’t just kill Bloody Face himself. Firefly says that he likes not to take risks, and it would be easier to just have Erika do it. He also suggests that Erika hurry, as when he saw Bloody Face killing those teens in episode 1, he showed no hesitation. She runs out of the house, and Firefly watches her go.

He considers burning down the house, but decides to honor his deal. Before leaving, Firefly takes a family portrait of Erika, Tom, Molly, George and Fred. We cut to the warehouse. Erika arrives there, and finds the burnt corpses of the two teens. There is a note left by Firefly says “This will be you eventually, might as well save some pain and give up here. Either option works” Erika shakes her head and goes inside. She shouts for John and Emily.

Erika wanders around, eventually coming onto a platform. Below it are two giant gears. Just then, Bloody Face walks up. He says that he didn’t expect any guests, and asks how Erika found him. She tells him about Firefly. Bloody Face says that he really needs to burn that bastard alive soon. Erika asks what Bloody Face’s problem is. Bloody Face says that if Erika wants answers, then he’ll give her some. He takes off his mask. Bloody Face is…

DAVID BATES. Erika is stunned. She asks David how he could do this. David says that is a long story. He reveals that he is misanthrope, which means that he is a hater of humankind. David explains that he believes humans are not worth saving or keeping around, and that humans are worthless and evil by nature. He says that humans will destroy each other one day, which is inevitable, either by nuclear war or something else. David is just “hastening the inevitable” Erika says that is a completely bullshit motive. David claims that there is a reason why he believes that. Erika says that it better be good.

David asks Erika if she’s ever heard of his aunt, Anna Cole (Will Foster’s accomplice in JMO’s season 2). Erika says that she has. David says that the people closest to you can always turn out to be evil, like she, his cousins (Gage and Brad), his uncle (Charlie Biebel) and his aunt. The deaths of his father’s extended family caused him to be abusive toward David, and his mother followed suit. David explains that he was raised horribly, even before the deaths of his father’s extended family, and he’s seen the darkest of human nature, which should never be around. He shows her the burn scars from last episode, which turn out to be from his mother burning him.

Erika says that there is no way David can wipe out billions of people by himself. David says that he knows that. He explains that he hopes to inspire some new killers to take his place, after he is eventually arrested or killed. David wants to go on killing random people as long as possible, and has already searched for an accomplice, which is why he kidnapped John and Emily, to recruit them. Erika asks where they are. David says that John is still alive, but Emily broke free and attempted to escape.

As Emily ran away, as fast as she could, Emily accidently ran into a hook that was hanging from the ceiling, which struck her in the mouth, impaling the bottom of it and killing her instantly. Emily Rivers, sister of John Rivers, and member of the adult group, is dead. Erika is angry and saddened by this. Since Emily is dead, David offers Erika a chance to join him, as John refused already. Erika says that David is a sick man with sick dreams that will never be fulfilled. David says that Erika is wrong.

He insists that someone will carry on his legacy, and he’ll continue killing, after he’s finished with Erika. Erika says that isn’t happening, before charging at David and punching him in the stomach and chin. David compliments Erika on her fighting skills, and says final girls aren’t usually that good in their first time. Erika says that she had a “rough childhood” and points out most final girls are around 17, and she’s 24. David says that age will not help her. Erika tells David to bring it on.

Erika launches herself onto David, and they start throwing brutal punches. David ends the punching contest by breaking Erika’s nose. He says that maybe Erika isn’t as tough as she thinks she is. Erika glares. She knees David in the groin and spin-kicks him in the face twice. Erika asks if she’s tough now. They continue kicking and hitting each other. Eventually, David almost gets the upper hand, but Erika kicks him hard enough to knock off the platform.

He falls into the gears, injured but still alive. As Erika looks down at David, she notices a lever near her and smiles. She yells “Hey David! Answer this, how did Will Belmont kill Ethan Hawke?” David realizes what is about to happen and tries to climb out of the gears, but Erika pulls the lever, activating the gears. David is crushed to death by the gears as a result. David Bates, the Bloody Face killer, and cousin of the Biebel family, is dead. Cut to black.

Episode 7
We open immediately after Erika crushed David to death with the gears. She goes around the warehouse in search of John, whom he finds tied to a chair next to Emily’s corpse, which is still hanging from the hook. Erika unties John from the chair, and he cries over Emily’s death. He says that he is going to murder Bloody Face (who he doesn’t know is David yet). Erika then reveals to him that she just killed Bloody Face. John says that he hopes Erika did it brutally, which she confirms.

We cut to the next morning. David and Emily’s bodies are being taken away from the warehouse. Chapman is on the scene, though Tom is still on the way. He walks up to John and Erika, and introduces himself. Erika says that Tom has talked about him a lot, though she hasn’t seen Chapman for himself up until now. John remains silent. Chapman asks if he can ask either one of them some questions in private. Knowing John isn’t in the mood, Erika goes instead.

Erika tells Chapman everything about David’s motives and that she killed him in self-defense. She asks him about his extended family of serial killers. Chapman says that he’s read about the case, and Gage, Brad, Anna and Charlie murdered dozens of people, only being stopped when they were all killed by Ethan Hawke. Erika says that Ethan sounds like some kind of god. Chapman says that he was, and he killed about 7 people (is that right JMO?) until Will killed him with gears.

Chapman says that he’s heard a lot of things about Erika from Tom, and says that he and Tom have been friends for a very long time. Erika says that he’s heard. Chapman gives Erika his personal phone number, and says that he can call him up if she needs help. Erika says that she sees why Chapman and Tom get along. Chapman says that he and Tom have done “a lot of things” together. Erika then goes back to John. John thanks Erika for killing David and avenging Emily.

Erika and John share a hug. George, Fred, and Tom come up to the scene. Erika tells her family that David was one of the killers, but not Firefly or Scarecrow, and he’s dead. Ginny also arrives. She tells everyone that she got a message from Scarecrow stating that it’s time. They ask what that is supposed to mean. Ginny tells Chapman about her being stalked by Scarecrow, threatened, and told that her father is keeping secrets from her. Chapman looks at Tom and Erika. He asks if they want to do this.

Tom says that Chapman is right, and since the copycat killer is out of the way, it’s time to confess. Erika agrees. We cut to the Weasley house, where the Chapman and Sanders/Weasley families have gathered up. Also with them is Walter, who is here to analyze the truth, hoping to use it to deduce who Firefly and Scarecrow are. Tom asks if everyone here has heard of Gerald Crane. They all say yes. Walter says that he was gunned down by the police. Chapman says that it only part of the truth.

Tom explains that he and Chapman were victims at that time, as well as Erika. We cut a flashback 15 years ago at the Sanders home during Gerald’s killing spree. There is Erika’s mother, Emily, her little eight year old sister, Aria (the same girl from Episode 4), and a younger Erika. Erika explains that while Tom was away, she, Aria and Emily were attacked by Gerald in his Scarecrow costume. Gerald injected Emily with fear toxin, which causes her to stab herself in the head in terror in front of everyone.

After knocking out Erika, Gerald then proceeded to attack Aria, whom he restrained on the couch and brutally raped. After Gerald finished having his fun, he stomped and beat Aria to death, but Tom arrived back before he could inject Erika with fear toxin, so Gerald left. Tom broke down after seeing the corpses of his younger daughter and wife. He became determined to avenge their deaths, so he worked with his best friend, Chapman, to hunt Gerald down on their own. Eventually, Chapman found Gerald, kidnapped him, and took him to Tom.

Chapman also had a grudge against Gerald for compelling his sister, Ruby, to suicide. After bringing a bound and gagged Gerald to Tom, they tortured him. Tom beat him with a crowbar and stabbed him in several non-vital areas to make him suffer for Aria and Emily’s deaths. Gerald’s pleas were drowned out due to a bag Chapman had put over his head. Eventually, Chapman grew slightly remorseful for how bad Gerald was suffering and eventually shot him in the head, killing him. We cut back to present day.

Tom and Chapman admit that they murdered Gerald, and they made up a lie that they killed Gerald in self-defense. George and Fred ask how long Erika knew of this. Erika admits that Tom confessed the truth to her when she was 21, and they decided to tell George and Fred at that age as well. Chapman tells Ginny that he’s sorry that he kept it from her, and he no idea it would ever resurface into something like this. A couple of tears run down their faces.

Since of being mad, George, Fred and Ginny hug their fathers. They say that they understand what they did. George and Fred admit that if Scarecrow killed either one of them, they would likely be doing the same thing to him right now. Plus, it was not an innocent person that they killed. After the family hug, Walter asks if they might know anything about Firefly. Tom and Chapman reveal that they were present at the scene fighting Garfield and his Tarvender men, one of whom had another flamethrower.

Chapman shot the other Tarvender’s flamethrower’s fuel tank, causing it to explode and severely burn Garfield. Chapman and the other officers had to evacuate without Garfield, who subsequently disappeared. Walter says that the killers must be taking revenge on Tom and Chapman for what they did to Garfield and Gerald. They decide that the most likely suspects are Garfield and Jonathan, wherever he is now. Erika says that no matter what happens, they all need to stick together to get through this.

Everyone agrees, and Walter, Chapman and Ginny depart from the house. We cut to Miles’ home, where he is hanging out by himself. Miles is sitting on his couch and watching a baseball game. Just then, he hears some glass shattering. Miles goes to investigate and sees that it’s coming from the only room in the house that has its lights off, which he did not do. Miles is about to turn the lights on when…

JUMP SCARE: NAGINI BURSTS FROM THE DARKNESS AND BITES INTO MILES’ NECK

Miles collapses against the wall, badly bleedly. Nagini lunges onto Miles again and bites him five more times. Eventually, Miles stops moving. Miles Baker, member of the adult group, is dead. Nagini looks at her victim. Just then, she hears someone coming in. Nagini realizes that it’s Firefly, who is also here to get another victim. Firefly torches all of upstairs with flames, and starts to set fire downstairs as well with the flamethrower. Soon enough, he encounters Nagini and Miles’ corpse. Firefly tells Nagini that since she stole his victim, she isn’t getting out of here.

He tells Nagini that “this won’t hurt a bit. It will hurt A LOT” Firefly goes to set Nagini on fire, but she dodges. Nagini goes onto Firefly and wraps herself around his neck, slowing strangling him. Firefly struggles to get her off, but cannot. He also cannot aim his flamethrower properly at Nagini. Firefly notices the fire and crawls toward it, hoping to scare Nagini off with the flames. The trick succeeds, and Nagini gets off of Firefly to avoid getting burnt. She hisses at Firefly. He responds with “Yeah. Yeah. Fuck you too!”

Firefly goes to burn her again, but she sprints away. Nagini, knowing that she can’t reach Firefly now, escapes through the mail slot of the front door. Firefly says that he really should have started killing animals a long time ago. He gets out of the house and watches as it burns down. Meanwhile, Nagini goes up to Scarecrow, who is watching Firefly from afar. He’s obviously angry that Firefly tried to kill his pet. As he rubs Nagini, Scarecrow says that Firefly won’t get away with this. Cut to black.

Episode 8
We cut to the next morning at Miles’ burnt down house. The firefighters have finished clearing out the fire and are taking Miles’ burnt corpse away. Pamela is on the scene, and she knows that the corpse is Miles as she is at his house. She approaches Chapman, who is surveying the damage and has concluded this was an attack by Firefly (unaware of Nagini’s involvement). Pamela is furious that most of her friends are dead (except for Erika and John) and asks Chapman if he has any leads.

Chapman says that he and Tom are doing the best they can right now. Pamela says that it doesn’t look it to her. Chapman asserts that it is and says that complaining about it isn’t going to help. Pamela laments that Chapman is a lame cop. An annoyed Chapman turns away and ignores Pamela’s complaints. She says that she could find the killers way faster than him, and maybe she will. Chapman discourages this, but Pamela does not listen and leaves.

We cut to the teens (Harry, Ginny, George, Fred and Walter). They are talking about how despite Bloody Face’s death, the other killers aren’t stopping. Walter says that Firefly, Scarecrow and Bloody Face were all different killers, so none cared about the other dying. Ginny says that with the new information they have, they might be able to figure out who Firefly and Scarecrow are. Harry asks what new information. Everyone tells Harry about Tom and Chapman killing Gerald 15 years ago and him having a son.

Harry says that Jonathan is definitely Scarecrow, and he would have be about a teenager considering how long ago he was committed. George says that they can take care of Scarecrow, and offers to try to make the group more confident. Fred says go ahead. George asks everyone “Why did the Scarecrow go mad?” When they ask why, George replies “It kept pulling out straws” Everyone laughs. Fred asks if he can try a joke of his own. They tell him to go ahead.

Fred asks “How much does the farmer pay for a scarecrow?” They ask how much, and Fred says “He couldn’t give a hay” Everyone laughs. Ginny says that she loves George and Fred’s jokes. It’s obvious that the Weasley twins have done stuff like this before. Eventually, the group part ways. We cut to the Weasley/Sanders home, where Tom and Molly are. Tom hears the doorbell ring and opens the front door, thinking its George and Fred. Instead, he finds Firefly.

Firefly bashes him with his flamethrower and knocks him out before Tom can slam the door on him. Molly hears the noise and takes a knife before going to investigate. Firefly also knocks her out. We cut to sometime later. Tom and Molly are tied to trees outside of the house, with Firefly in front of them. Firefly says that it’s time for them to face their “purification” Tom tells Firefly to let them go, which he refuses. Firefly states that he is having trouble figuring out who goes first, so he has an idea.

He takes out a coin. Firefly says that he will flip the coin, and burn Molly if the coin comes up heads, and Tom if it comes up tails. Firefly flips the coin and catches it. The coin lands on heads. Tom screams at Firefly not to do this. Firefly points his flamethrower at Molly and asks for any last words. Molly tells him to say away from her sons, and he’ll regret if he doesn’t. Firefly says that he doesn’t regret anything. Firefly sets Molly, and by extension, the entire tree on fire.

Molly and Tom scream. Molly Weasley, mother of George and Fred Weasley, stepmother of Erika Sanders, and 2nd wife of Tom Sanders, is dead. Firefly turns to Tom and aims his flamethrower at him. He says that Geroge and Fred are going to throw “one heck of a hissy fit” when they see his work. Firefly tries to burn Tom, but his flamethrower suddenly jams and fails to ignite. Firefly smacks his flamethrower, and mutters “Goddamn machine”

He struggles to get the flamethrower working, but it doesn’t. Firefly is fuming that his main weapon is just now malfunctioning. Eventually, Firefly stops trying. He says that he’ll be back. Firefly walks away (while cursing at his flamethrower), leaving Tom mourning for his wife. Tom is eventually heard by a returning George and Fred (who got home late because they stopped at an arcade) and free him. Upon seeing their stepmother’s corpse, they join Tom in mourning Molly.

We cut to Harry, who is sitting at his home. Just then, there is a knock on his door. He walks up to it, and opens it to find Ginny, and asks why she is here. Ginny says that they scheduled a date for them earlier. Harry is embarrassed when he realizes that he forgot about that and apologizes. Ginny says that she can’t stay mad at someone like him. Harry blushes. He says he could never stay bad at Ginny either. Ginny says that she should probably skip to the best part. She goes up to Harry and kisses him.

Harry smiles and kisses her back. Ginny takes off her shirt, and the two prepare to have sex, but their romance is interrupted when someone pats Ginny’s shoulder and says “Boo” It’s Scarecrow. He smacks Ginny. Harry goes to punch Scarecrow, but Scarecrow headbutts him and knees him in the face. Harry is unconscious. Scarecrow pins Ginny to the ground. He says that he’s not looking to kill with his fear toxin today, but he just wants to see Ginny’s inner consciousness come to life. He injects the fear toxin into her. Scarecrow watches Ginny as the fear toxin takes effect.

Ginny starts twitching and shaking violently. She falls on the floor, screaming. We take a look on what she is hallucinating. She is hallucinating herself, who starts slowly melting graphically. First, Ginny’s skin melts off her body, showing off her fleshly body. Next, all of her flesh melts off, and only her skeleton remains. The skeleton then dissolves into ants, which crawl all over Ginny’s body and into her clothes. Ginny is completely hysterical on the ground. Scarecrow watches her sanity slip away. Fade to black.

Episode 9
We cut to the next morning at Harry’s house. Ginny is still hysterical over the fear toxin and has not calmed down, so the police were forced to sedate her and are taking her away now. Chapman tells Harry, who has woken up and tried unsuccessfully to help Ginny, that she has become very unstable and asks what happened. After Harry explains that he was attacked by Scarecrow, Chapman realizes that Ginny has fear toxin in her. Harry begs to know how likely Ginny is to recover, and when.

Chapman says that fear toxin is extremely dangerous, depending on what amount is put into a person’s blood stream. He explains that Gerald’s victims required months of therapy just to remain stable again, and it doesn’t look much different with Ginny. Harry is devastated that Ginny is suffering. Just then, George, Fred and Walter come up. Harry tells them that Scarecrow attacked them and Ginny is on the brink of madness.

They are all shocked and saddened. Harry cries, and his friends all hug him. Chapman leaves with the ambulance carrying his daughter. We cut to the Sanders home. George, Fred, Tom and Erika are all gathered up. They are all mourning Molly’s death, while also reeling over Ginny’s attack. Erika says that it’s unbelievable that Molly is really gone. It’s clear that even if she knew Molly the least out of everyone, Erika still feels sad for her. George says that Firefly and Scarecrow have gone way too far this time. Fred says that they need to do something about this, before they lose anyone else that they love.

Tom agrees that something needs to be done, but he refuses to lose any one of his kids in the process. He says that losing Aria was bad enough for him and Erika, but Tom will not lose George or Fred. Erika says that if she was able to kill Bloody Face, then she should be a match for Firefly, but she can’t guarantee anything on Scarecrow. Tom says that they should leave Scarecrow to him. George asks if he’s sure that is a good idea.

Tom says that he and Chapman started this 15 years ago when they murdered Gerald, and he’s going to end it. He doesn’t know how, he doesn’t know when, but he will. Until then, Tom insists that George and Fred should not go off on their own or travel far until Scarecrow and Firefly are caught. Erika agrees with this. George and Fred reluctantly comply. We cut to Chapman and Ginny, who have arrived at a mental hospital. Chapman is talking to a doctor, who tells him that Ginny too unstable for visitors right now.

Chapman is distraught to hear this. He asks to hear the full details of Ginny’s situation. The doctor asks if Chapman is sure he wants to hear it. Chapman braces himself and tells him to go ahead. The doctor explains that hormones themselves have worn off, but the effects are lingering and Ginny’s brain activity has showed that she was is just scared, but is constantly in a state of perpetual terror.

When Chapman asks whether or not she will make a full recovery, the doctor says that will take months for her to be stable, just like 15 years ago. Until then, she will face frequent hallucinations. As they examine Ginny, she hallucinates her skeleton melting again into ants, which crawl all over her body. Ginny cries and screams, much to Chapman’s distress. We cut to the burnt down fire station.

Pamela stands, along with three friends that she knows. Pamela says that they need to figure out to the killer is and have them arrested. She says that since this is where Garfield got burnt, maybe they can find some clues here. Pamela and her three friends look around. Friend #2 eventually lifts up the metal that is covering up the trapdoor entrance to Scarecrow’s lair.

He tells the others to come here. They walk up and take a look at the entrance. Friend #1 says that this must to be the entrance to Firefly’s lair. Pamela opens the trapdoor and sees a ladder the other side, leading down into the bunker. Friend #1 asks who is going to go first. Nobody volunteers. Eventually, Friend #2 steps up. He goes down the ladder, and the others follow him. After everyone enters, the lights suddenly go off. Slashing and stabbing sounds are suddenly heard, and some kind of laughter, before going silent.

Pamela feels around for the light switch and eventually turns it on. Friends #1 and #2 have been stabbed in the head, while Friend #3’s throat has been slit. All three friends are dead. Pamela is horrified. She says that maybe becoming a police officer wasn’t the best idea for her after all. She goes to flee, but runs into a hissing Nagini. Pamela tries to reason with Nagini, saying “Nice snake, I got snake food (which she does not)” Pamela is increasingly terrified, and hears something above her.

JUMP SCARE: SCARECROW BURSTS FROM AN AIR VENT AND TACKLES PAMELA

Scarecrow quickly stabs fear toxin into Pamela’s neck. He pushes her toward Nagini as the toxin kicks in. Pamela hallucinates Nagini as a 20 foot tall snake, also completely demonic, in red and in flames. Pamela is hysterical. Nagini proceeds to bite into Pamela’s face, and eventually mutilates it beyond recognition. Pamela Isley, member of the adult group, is dead. Scarecrow then proceeds to pet Nagini, calling her “good girl” They take the four corpses out of the bunker.

We cut to someone’s house, though we can’t tell whose it is. In the basement, there is a blanket covering a gurney table. Just then, the door to the basement opens, and in comes Firefly. He walks up to the gurney table and examines it. Obviously, there is something that Firefly adores in it. He takes out the picture of the Sanders/Weasley family, which has Molly crossed off. Firefly burns the photo with a match. He says that it’s time to “burn them all” Cut to black.

Episode 10
We open on Erika’s house, where she and John are hanging out. John asks Erika if he’s heard from Pamela recently, as she hasn’t been answering his text messages. Erika says that she hasn’t. John says that these murders just never end, and maybe they will die after all. Erika tells him not to think like that. She insists that together, they can stop Scarecrow and Firefly, and avenge their friends’ deaths, like she did with Bloody Face. John thanks Erika for her support. They kiss.

Erika then leaves to the kitchen to get a drink. After doing this, she hears a muffled scream. Erika goes back upstairs to find John unconscious. Just then, Firefly jumps out. He hits Erika in the head with his flamethrower. Erika is unconscious. Firefly says that Erika may have helped him in the past, but their deal is over. He drags her and John away. Sometime later, we cut to the Weasley/Sanders home. Tom, George and Fred are about to go to bed. Just then, George gets a text from Firefly.

It has a picture of Erika and John being unconscious and tied to chairs somewhere. He shows it to Tom and Fred. He then gets an actual call from Firefly, who says that it’s time for this big finale. Tom tells Firefly that if he doesn’t leave Erika and John alone, then he’s going to get a far worse fate than David ever did. Firefly says that if Tom really wants a chance to kick his ass, then he’s welcome to try, but he has to bring George and Fred with him.

The twins insist that they can’t let him go alone, and agree to the terms. Firefly then tells everyone to go to a location that is unheard to the audience. Tom, George and Fred then climb into a car and drive off. An hour later, the trio are getting off their car at a FAMILIAR LOCATION! Firefly calls them and tells them to go on across a bridge and into the woods. The trio walk across the bridge, which is near a large waterfall and above CORNELIA RIVER (sound familiar yet?).

They walk until they see a MYSTERIOUS BUILDING, which has obviously been abandoned for several years. Fred starts to recognize this place from off the news. Suddenly, he realizes that he recognizes the name of the town that he's in; TREESBORO! Yes, that's right! Tom, George and Fred are in the town where my first ever trilogy took place, and it’s been seven years since the last killing spree ended. George realizes that this is the place where multiple murders took place. We realize that this MYSTERIOUS BUILDING is the ABANDONED MANSION!

After going inside the school, Tom, George and Fred find John and Erika tied up in the chairs, now having regained consciousness. They go to free them, but Firefly appears. He says that he’ll burn everyone alive if they try anything. George asks why Firefly brought them to Treesboro, out of all the places. Firefly says that there is a story behind that, which they will get to soon enough. Tom tells Firefly, who he calls Garfield, to end this. Firefly says that everyone has had the story all wrong. George asks “Garfield” what he means. In response, Firefly takes off his mask. Firefly is…

WALTER JONES. George and Fred are shocked, though Tom isn’t, as he barely knew Walter. Tom says that he was expecting Garfield, not a teenager. Walter says that Tom was really close on his guess, but just slightly off. Walter reveals that he is really Walter Lynns, Garfield’s son. Everyone is shocked by that revelation. Walter explains that he was involved in the assault at the fire station, and he dragged his severely burnt dad out of the building. He has been in a coma ever since, and hasn’t woken up.

So, Walter decided to continue his work and avenge his severe injuries on Tom and the others. George asks why he brought them to Treesboro, out of all the places. Walter says that he was just getting to that. He asks if anyone of them can name how many survivors were there in the final Treesboro killing spree. John says that there were six. Walter says “not anymore” Walter asks if they have ever heard of TARVENDER, which they have. Walter explains that before the attack on the fire station, he and Garfield were sent on a task.

He reveals that the final killer to be killed in Treesboro, Velma Carter, was a top agent of Tarvender, having been recruited and trained for her killing spree by their old leader, Coriolanus Snow. However, Velma was killed by the survivors before she could fully finish her killing spree. Walter’s first assignment was to help Garfield get revenge on the survivors, and takes out a sack. He opens the sack and pulls out the severed head of BRANDON JAMES. Everyone is horrified, recognizing that Brandon was a survivor not just from Treesboro, but from Lakewood as well. Walter jokes that Brandon (being blinded in the 3rd story) didn’t even see him coming.

They delayed taking out the rest for the fire station attack. John says that Walter is an idiot for doing that. Walter asks how so. Erika says that the others will come after him for revenge even if he survives this. Walter says that he’ll set them all on fire. He says that after Garfield’s injuries, Walter went rogue from Tarvender to avenge Garfield himself, filled with anger and unable to wait. He refuses to divulge where he is keeping Garfield, though Tom guesses that it is at his house.

Walter points his flamethrower at John and Erika, preparing to burn them. Tom, George and Fred rush forward, but Walter spews fire in time to thwart their attack. Walter says that whether they like it or not, they are going to watch as they all burn, one at a time. He asks John and Erika for last words. They tell Walter to burn in hell. Walter laughs and says “you first” Just then, he gets shot in both of his feet. Walter screams in pain and falls down. They all look at the shooter. It’s Scarecrow, who has Nagini with him.

Scarecrow says that Walter stole his kill by burning Molly alive, and on top of that, he dared to threaten his dear Nagini. Nagini hisses at Walter, who tries to suggest that they could talk this over. Scarecrow tells George, Tom and Walter to untie John and Erika, which they do. He then orders everyone to take 10 steps away from the incapacitated Walter. Scarecrow shoots Walter’s fuel tank, causing gas to start leaking out, and ignites a match. Walter’s eye widen, and he realizes that he is screwed. He mutters his final words, “Uh oh”, as Scarecrow throws a match onto the gas.

This causes the flamethrower to explode, with Walter completely consumed in the explosion. Walter Lynns/Jones, son of Garfield Lynns and the Firefly killer, is dead. Scarecrow tells the Weasley/Sanders family, and John, that he is done for now. He tells them to go home, and runs away with Nagini. Everyone else leaves the mansion. John asks if this is really over. Tom says that it is for now, but not completely. We cut to a montage taking place three weeks later.

All of the survivors (Erika, John, George, Fred, Harry, Ginny, and Chapman) have formed a club, called “the Octavia club” to honor the people they have lost in the killing spree. Ginny is slowly recovering from her exposure to fear toxin, but is still mentally unstable and constantly watched by Chapman. This club eventually received the unexpected: people who they have things in common with; they're survivors. But not just any survivors – The TREESBORO SURVIVORS.

These are Brian Manera, Matias Wolver, Brooke Maddox, and finally Mandy Forest. They have decided to join with the club due to Brandon’s murder and another tragedy that for now is not to be revealed. A search was done at Walter’s house, but no sign of Garfield was found there, and he is still missing. Then, a montage ensues, with a few different locations. The first is at Harry’s house, who has been waiting for Ginny to come home. He takes out some documents from a drawer and looks at them.

Harry mutters “They must never know” and then throws the documents into a fireplace, burning them. He has a frown and some bitterness in his tone. What was in those documents that he was hiding? Next, we cut to someone else’s home, though we can’t tell whose it is. There is a desk there, one that has an audio tape and a picture of David. Someone picks up the photo and stares.

We see a person looking at it, who is revealed to be ANOTHER BLOODY FACE. It appears that David’s goal of getting someone to continue his legacy has been accomplished. Elsewhere, at a costume store, a person, only seen by their POV, looks around for costumes. They eventually set their eyes on a new and much more intimidating SCARECROW COSTUME (meaning that this person is Scarecrow).

The person takes the costume and buys it. Finally, we back to the abandoned mansion, which is too be demolished in a few weeks. In the basement, the same gurney table from Walter’s house is sitting on the floor. Whatever is on the table is covered up by the blanket, as it was last time. However, we do notice that there are two black boots sticking out of the sheet (Hint). Just then…

JUMP SCARE: THE SHEET JUMPS UP AND SITS UPRIGHT

We realize that it’s not the sheet itself that jumps up, but the thing inside it. The sheet is thrown off, revealing a man dressed in a tuxedo, pants and black boots. We zoom in on his face, which is covered with burns, and we realize who this is. It’s GARFIELD LYNNS, just now awake from his coma and with a downright ugly face. Garfield slowly climbs up the stairs, but does not recognize where he is.

He notices his charred and wrecked Firefly costume on the ground (which Walter wore, as instructed if he was unable to do so for any reason). Garfield looks around and calls out Walter, who does not respond. He takes a cell phone that Walter left for him (in case he wasn’t around to see his father awaken) and looks up the news. Garfield sees that his son is dead, having been killed by Scarecrow without finishing his work. An extremely pissed off Garfield clenches his fist. Smash to black.

What Would Have Happened

 * Rose Winters was originally going to be in this story, but I decided to save her for the sequel.
 * Firefly was originally going to wear a jetpack like he usually does, but I thought that was a bit too extreme.
 * I briefly considered having John die in episode 3, but I decided that he should live longer.
 * There was originally going to be 12 episodes, but I couldn't drag it out that long.
 * David was originally going to kill Emily personally, but I figured it would be different if she ran into the hook instead.
 * Firefly was going to kill David in episode 6, but I decided it would be a good way to show off Erika if she did so instead.
 * Firefly's reveal was going to be the other way around; Garfield was this season's Firefly, and Walter would have killed in season 2.
 * Harry originally had no secret.
