The Last Skitzo

== The Last Skitzo ==
On a stormy Halloween night, Ryan, R-Dizzle and Regina decorate the house (rather poorly) and are joined by three newcomers; Steve, Ray and Tham (all played by Ryan.) As Ryan wonders where Hanate is, having asked him to bring candy and Coke, he appears behind the counter with a case Diet Coke. As Ray leaves to get ice, Ryan finds a note inside the case of Diet Coke which reads:
“What started off as a nice day will start anew with an  _ _ _  _ _ _ _ _.”
Hantae suggests filling in the blanks in, before Regina notices Hanate has a rock with him who he introduces as “Rocky.” As Ryan, R-Dizzle, Regina and Hanate argue, Ray returns just as the lights go out which they attribute to the storm. Ryan passes out lanterns to everyone, only to discover Ray dead, having been stabbed in the neck with the ice tray. Ryan realizes “ice tray” fits the blanks from the clue and realizes the death was planned. They discover the next clue on the ice tray:
“Where darkness hides and the sun shan’t go, just reach inside, look in a _ _ _ _.”
Ryan suggests splitting into pairs in order to find the next clue and possibly prevent the next death. Tham pairs with R-Dizzle and Ryan pairs with Hanate, leaving Steve to pair with Regina, who already has shown an attraction towards him.
Tham and R-Dizzle search the kitchen while R-Dizzle attempts to think of words to rhyme with “go.” Ryan and Hanate search the house when Ryan finds a lit closet full of his favorite lost possessions. Steve and Regina search upstairs, where Regina continually annoys Steve by calling him “Steven” and proclaiming her love for him. Steve looks in the bathroom and finds a note with the word “Read” on it. There is a gunshot which attracts all members of the house, and the rest of the party converges upstairs to find Steve dead with a gunshot in his back and Regina crying over his body. Ryan reads the note which reads “Goodbye Steven.” Though they are initially suspicious of Regina, she berates them by saying she was in love with Steve (though she gets over it rather quickly.)
Frustrated they haven’t been able to deduce the word in the clue, Hanate suggests the word “hole.” Regina points out that there’s a hole in the wall behind the bathroom that had smoke coming out of it. Inside the hole is the next clue:
“Don’t stand in shock from surprise, pour the _ _ _ _ and it will _ _ _ _.”
Ryan suggests heading downstairs and staying together in a group. Regina is hungry, but instead of bringing candy, Hanate had brought soda crackers instead. Hanate gets up to get the coke, while the others debate over the next clue. Hanate retrieves the ice from the ice tray (with Ray’s body still impaled on it) and puts it in a cup, showing they have candies inside.
Ryan realizes that “shock” can refer to the fact that liquids are conductive and one can be shocked from them. Just as they realize this they hear Hanate opening the soda and pouring it into the cup with the ice, which overflows and spills onto Ryan’s broken and exposed computer charger (which had been cut earlier.) However Hanate is safe, having been standing next to the puddle, and explains the coke rose too fast when he poured it. Ryan realizes the words in the clue are “coke” and “rise.” Tham also discovers the candies in the ice, which turn out to be Mentos, explaining why the coke rose so fast. They also realize since the charger is sparking, the electricity has returned.
Regina spots the next clue in the electrocuted puddle and stupidly tries to grab it. Tham pushes her out of the way and dies when she falls into it and is electrocuted instead. With all three newcomers dead, Ryan picks up the last clue and deduces the killer is one of them.
“The time has come for you to be wise, make a choice if you wish to survive. You have all the information you need, I’ve told no lies. For every Halloween  _   _ _ _ _  _ _ _ _   _ _ _ _   _ _ _ _.”
The four argue over who the killer is. R-Dizzle and Regina suspect Rocky, until Ryan grows frustrated and yells at them, causing them to suspect him. Regina tries to fit the clues together, but is unable to. This helps Ryan realize that the blanks are the words from the other clues: ice tray, hole, coke and rise. As they try to piece together the words, Ryan has a flashback to the Halloween episode and realizes that every Halloween…
“I stay home cook rice.”
Hanate is revealed to be the killer, as he sheds his facial expression, loses his accent and points a gun at the others. Hanate explains he has become tired of being overshadowed during the other Skitzo videos and being treated as a joke. Everything that had happened had gone according to plan, and he had given them multiple clues to guess it was him. He had brought the Diet Coke which had the first clue in it; he had been standing by the light switch to fake a blackout and was standing closest to Ray when he died.
Ryan questions how Steve could’ve been shot if he was with him, but realizes he was unaware of Hanate’s whereabouts when he was distracted by the closet, which Hanate had set up. Ryan also asks how he could’ve predicted that Steve would read the note instead of Regina; since Hanate wrote “Read” on the note, Regina thought it said “read” as in the note had already been read and didn’t need be read again.
R-Dizzle and Regina are still confused about the Diet Coke and Mentos, saying Hanate could’ve easily killed himself. Ryan figures that Hanate must’ve frozen the Mentos earlier so they’d be melted by the time they got back; he stood next to the wire to make it look like someone else tried to kill him and he knew only Regina would be stupid enough to put her hand in an electrocuted puddle. Hanate admits he’d forgotten he set the trap up and that he’d gotten lucky, and that he had brought soda crackers to force the others to drink the Diet Coke eventually.
Ryan begs with Hanate, saying he could have better parts and be the star, but Hanate prepares to shoot the others so that he can start his own show. Just before he pulls the trigger he is shot by Rocky, who saves the other three.
The whole video was revealed to be a story that Hanate has been telling to the others, and that they had only cut away to show that he is still alive (and that Tham was a girl.)
== References and jokes ==
- The clues ‘Ice tray hole coke rise’ are a play on Hanate’s ongoing gag ‘I stay home cook rice’
- This episode is very reminiscent to clichéd horror movies as the happenings and events are very similar to several horror movies such as the ‘solve the clues’ cliché or the ‘murder mystery but it turns out to be one of us’ cliché.
