## Chapters

### Chapter 1

We open to Greenfield Psychiatric Hospital, where we see two characters, sitting in a room. We recognize these characters are Erika Wadley, and Gage Ramsey. Gage asks Erika, who he calls Abby, if they should gauge out the eyes of the workers and escape and continue her (Abby's) murder spree and murder Nancy Carter once and for all, for killing her mother (Melissa), who Gage calls hot. "Abby" laughs sadistically and says they should, and they could also kill Gage's parents, for putting him in this "shithole".

Gage laughs and agrees. They begin dancing around, and begin chanting the words "must kill Nancy Carter, must kill Anna, and Charlie (Gage's parents)" repeatedly, as well as “slaughter everyone". It’s quite clear that instead of getting better, Erika has become insane, far worse than she was in season 1. We see an orderly watching them through a peephole. He calls them "fucking retards", before turning to a second orderly, and telling him that they should teach those "downy little shits" to behave like normal people.

The two orderlies open the door to Erika's room, and walk in. "Abby" and Gage see the two orderlies and chant "must kill", before launching at them. One of the orderlies, pulls out a baton and hits them both over the head, before telling them to "shut the fuck up, before I beat the shit out of you two". The second orderly tells "Abby" and Gage that they're going to have some fun, before both forcing their penis' into their (Erika and Gage's) mouths. It becomes obvious that this isn't the first time that this has happened.

We cut to outside, where three dark shadows walk up to the building. Shadow #1 tells Shadow #3 that if he wants to keep their deal, then he must commit the most kills in this massacre, before stating that he (#1) wants to kill "her" himself. We see who the shadows are; Vigilante, Chaos and Brandonface (who is Kai). Vigilante passes Kai two guns, before telling him that if he tries to kill one of them, or both, then his third and secret partner will release stolen footage of him (Kai) at the shopping mall, before he killed Mikaela, Kevin and that guard. Kai sighs and says okay.

Vigilante pulls out a hatchet, before asking Chaos if he has enough arrows for his crossbow. Chaos says yes. Vigilante says great, before saying "let's do this". The three killers walk into the psychiatric hospital with weapons in hand. The front desk clerk sees them and asks them what business they have here. Vigilante runs over to the front desk clerk and hacks him to death with the hatchet.

Suddenly, the two asshole orderlies who forced Gage and Erika to blow them, come running up, with their batons raised. Vigilante nods to Kai, who shoots both orderlies in the head with the guns. Suddenly, a nurse who heard the gunshots, runs out to see what is going on. Kai shoots her in the throat, killing her.

The three killers walk on, and as they do, Vigilante congratulates Kai for doing such a good job so far. He says that if he keeps this up, then Ivy will live through this. Suddenly, three doctors and a nurse come running up with batons, ready to attack the killers. Chaos quickly shoots doctor #1 in the face with an arrow. Kai also shoots doctor #2 in the face, and doctor #3 in the head.

The nurse tries running away, but Chaos shoots her in the back, incapacitating her. He runs up to her and pulls the arrow out of her, before viciously stabbing her over and over with it. After the nurse is dead, the three killers walk off into the darkness.

We cut to Erika’s room, where she and Gage are sitting in front of each other. We see that both of them have sliced their hands with a knife, and are painting a pentagram with their blood. Erika and Gage chant several curses on their enemies. Erika, who still thinks she’s Abby, curses Nancy, saying that everybody she meets will die.

Suddenly, the door opens and the three killers burst in. Vigilante pulls out his hatchet and has Kai hold Gage in place, which he does. “Abby” says “Vig, you don’t have to hurt him. He’s one of us”. Vigilante, ignoring Erika, hacks Gage to death. Gage Ramsey, psychotic boyfriend of Erika Wadley, is dead. Erika screams at Vigilante. Vigilante turns his hatchet around, and hits Erika over the head with the butt of the hatchet repeatedly, knocking her out.

We cut to the Lost Woods Resort, where Erika is restrained to a chair. Suddenly, Vigilante walks in with several supplies. He tells Erika that she deserves everything she is going to get. Erika screams that she is Abby, not Erika, and orders Vigilante to stand down, unless he has become a “traitor” Vigilante says that Erika has become way more fucked up than he thought. He drops his supplies and runs over to Erika, before kicking her viciously in the stomach. He then starts punching Erika repeatedly, causing her to scream.

After stopping, Vigilante picks up a candlestick and starts repeatedly bashing Erika with it. Vigilante asks Erika if she likes this. Erika cries “Vig, it’s me. Stop it”. Vigilante shouts “YOU’RE NOT ABBY”. He stops beating her with the candlestick, before picking up a knife and stabbing Erika in the stomach. Erika screams and cries as this happens. Vigilante repeatedly stabs Erika in the chest and stomach for a total of 25 times. It’s a bloody mess. We hear Erika choking on her blood as she dies. Erika Wadley, season 1 survivor and the Dark Figure, is dead. We cut to black.

### Chapter 2

We open to Veronica Carter, who has just woken up from sleeping. We hear a knock at the door. Veronica shouts “who is it”. We hear a familiar voice respond with “it’s me”. Veronica shouts “come in”, which they do. We see that the person is her older sister, Nancy Carter. Nancy informs her younger sister that it’s time for school, and that she’s going to be late. Veronica gets out of bed and throws on some clothes.

We cut to downstairs, where it’s revealed that Nancy and Veronica are living with Scott Lane and Kaylee Westbrooke, who began dating shortly after the second killing spree ended, and are now engaged. Nancy and Veronica walk down the stairs and greet their parents (They class Kaylee as their mother). Scott and Kaylee greet their children, before asking Veronica if she’s ready for school, and Nancy if she’s ready for her first day at her new job. Both girls say yes. Scott asks Veronica if she’d like him to drive her to school this morning, but Veronica says that Nancy has already said she’d drive her.

Scott says okay. Kaylee passes Nancy and Veronica their lunches, before telling them to have good days. Suddenly, there’s a knock at the door. Nancy and Veronica answer it, only to find Roxie Andrews and Ethan Hawke on the other side. Nancy and Veronica smile at Roxie and Ethan, and ask how they are. Roxie and Ethan say that they’re fine, before asking if they’ve heard the news about Erika. Nancy shakes her head and asks what’s happened. Suddenly, Kaylee and Scott approach them and ask what’s happened.

Roxie and Ethan informs them about the massacre at Greenfield Psychiatric Hospital, and that Erika was a victim. Nancy says, “you don’t think it was Vigilante, do you?”. Roxie admits she doesn’t know. Nancy says that until they find out whether or not it was Vigilante who killed Erika, they should continue as normal.

We cut to Clayton’s café, where Nancy is working. Suddenly, Austin Thomas, Kai Richards, and Ivy Richards walk up to the counter. Just as Austin is about to order something, he recognizes that the barista is Nancy. He greets her, before saying that he didn’t know she worked her. Nancy smiles and says that today is her first day. She smiles at Ivy and asks her if she’s excited for her first day back at school.

Ivy looks sad as she says she isn’t excited and doesn’t want to go. Nancy asks why not. Ivy says that she’s scared that everybody is going to make fun of her for having short hair. Kai looks sad as Ivy says this. Nancy tells Ivy that if people make fun of her, then they’re not nice people. She also tells Ivy to not let what people say affect her, as she’s stronger than that. She also adds that Ivy is a beautiful young girl, and that she doubts anybody would want to pick on her.

Ivy smiles and thanks Nancy, who asks Ivy if she’s changed her mind about not wanting to go to school. Ivy smiles as she says yes. Kai and Austin smile at Ivy, before saying goodbye to Nancy. Nancy waves goodbye, before realizing that Austin and Kai didn’t actually order anything. Austin says they’ll be back after taking Ivy to school. Nancy says okay. We cut to black.

### Chapter 3

We open to the Clubhouse, where Nancy, Ali, Austin, Kai, Kaylee, Ava, Roxie, Mandy, Ethan, as well as their new friend Jonathan Crane, who is the brother of the late Thomas Crane, are talking about Erika’s death. Ava is absolutely horrified that somebody murdered Erika before she could help her. Everybody comforts Ava, telling her that she did her best, but reminds her that Erika was gone, and that fixing her was impossible. Ava says that Erika was responsible for her rescue, so she was going to do her best to repay Erika. Ava then says she needs some air, before walking off. Nancy goes after her.

Outside, Ava cries as she mourns Erika, and over her failure to restore Erika. Nancy approaches her and hugs her, causing Ava to let out all her tears. She cries that she has failed Erika. Nancy comforts Ava, telling her that she did what she can, but at least now Erika won’t be suffering. Nancy and Ava comfort each other. Both girls walk back inside the Clubhouse.

Inside the clubhouse, we notice that Ali looks tired and sick, which Mandy picks up on. She asks Ali if they could speak in private, which Ali agrees to. In private, Mandy asks Ali if everything’s okay. Ali says no, before revealing that the nightmares have gotten worse. Mandy hugs Ali, who sobs that she’s trying her hardest not to turn back to alcohol. Mandy tells Ali that she’s here whenever she needs somebody to speak to. Suddenly, Mandy’s phone rings; it’s her father, Terry.

Mandy answers it, only to hear Terry on the other side, asking her to come home for dinner. Mandy says okay, before hanging up. Mandy says she must leave. Jonathan asks Mandy if she’d like him to drive her, which Mandy accepts. We cut to Jonathan pulling up outside the Forest house. Mandy thanks Jonathan, before kissing him on the cheek for driving her home. However, Jonathan moves his head, causing Mandy and him to kiss on the lips.

Mandy pulls away and asks Jonathan what he’s doing. Jonathan says sorry, before saying that he thought she liked him back. Mandy grabs Jonathan and tells him to stop talking and to kiss her again. It turns into a full on make out scene, before the two of them start to strip naked. However, they’re interrupted by Terry Forest, Mandy’s father, who knocked on the window. Mandy looks embarrassed, having been caught by her father. She quickly puts back on her shirt, before saying she’ll see Jonathan tomorrow. They both kiss one final time, before Mandy walks away.

Inside the Forest house, Mandy sits at the table to eat her food, only to find Terry staring at her. Mandy asks her father what’s wrong. Terry asks Mandy who the boy she was having sex with, is. Mandy says they were not having sex, they were just kissing. Terry says, “sure you were, you little bitch”. Mandy is shocked that her own father called her a bitch. Terry sees that Mandy is shocked that he called her this. He tells her that she deserves every name he calls her after causing her mother’s death.

Mandy tells her father that she did not cause her mother’s death, before asking why he’s started this off again. She goes on to say that the therapist helped him see that Mary’s death was not caused by her, and that she doesn’t know why he’s doing this again. Terry reminds Mandy that today would have been his and Mary’s 25th wedding anniversary, if she (Mandy) didn’t cause Mary’s death. Terry says that he misses his wife, and that it’s Mandy’s fault she’s gone.

Mandy tells Terry that she misses Mary too, but this isn’t her fault. Terry sighs and thinks for a moment. Mandy asks her father if this what Mary would be wanting him to do, shun his own daughter. Terry says that Mandy is right. He admits that despite all the time that’s past since Mary’s death, he has found himself unable to move on. Terry apologizes for insulting Mandy and says that he can be a bad father. Mandy says that if that were true, she wouldn’t have shot Veronica and Ethan for him. He and Terry hug. It’s clear that even if they’ve had bad times, Terry and Mandy still love each other.

We cut to the Carter/Lane house, where Nancy is having a meal with Scott, Veronica and Kaylee. Suddenly, Nancy’s phone buzzes. She asks if she could be excused to answer her phone. Scott says she can. Nancy stands up and walks into the kitchen, before pulling out her phone and seeing that she is being called by UNKNOWN. Nancy answers, asking who this is. Vigilante tells Nancy that it’s been a while. We cut to black.

### Chapter 4

We open where the last chapter ended. Nancy asks Vigilante why he’s back now, after all this time. Vigilante laughs, before saying that he’s back to finish what he and Bella started. Nancy says that he didn’t answer question about why he waited so long. Vigilante explains that he’s gotten stronger over the years and he is the now the “best killer ever” and is “immortal” Nancy refuses to believe that this is real.

Vigilante responds with, “but it is. Did you forget about Erika?” Nancy realizes that this is in fact, Vigilante. She asks what he wants. Vigilante admits that he wants to see Nancy’s insides on the outside, but first he’s gonna mess with her and her loved ones. He says, “see ya later, bitch”, before hanging up. Nancy then calls the Clearwood Club group chat, to tell them that they need to meet immediately.

We cut to the Club, where the survivors, Jonathan and Ivy are meeting. They ask Nancy what’s up. Nancy informs them of her call from Vigilante, and that he’s back. Everybody is horrified. Veronica and Ivy ask if this means they’re going to die. Everybody says that nothing is going to happen to them (Veronica and Ivy) as they (everybody else) won’t let them get hurt. The two young girls say okay, as they hug each other.

Nancy tells everybody that she isn’t going to be sitting around as she watches the people she loves die again, and that if Vigilante wants a fight, then a fight he shall get. Everybody agrees and conclude that Vigilante will die. However, we notice Kai looking nervous, which Austin picks up on. Kai asks about the possibility of there being more than just one killer. Everybody looks amongst each other, realizing that this is a possibility.

We cut to later in the day. We see Ethan and Roxie in the former’s bedroom, watching a movie. Suddenly, Ethan turns to Roxie and tells her that his younger sister, Britney, said she’d like to have a girls’ day out with her (Roxie) this week. Roxie smiles and says sure, before asking if Britney mentioned what she wanted to do on the girls’ day out. Ethan tells Roxie that Britney did mention something; a spa day. Roxie sounds interesting.

Ethan tells Roxie that it’ll be his treat. Roxie smiles and asks if Ethan is sure. Ethan says he’s more than sure. Roxie and Ethan start making out, which leads to sex. We fast-forward until after the couple have had sex. We cut to the next day at the Lost Woods Resort. Vigilante is furious with Kai for making everybody see the possibility of more than one killer. He slices Kai’s arm and tells him that if he does anything else to piss him off, then his precious Ivy will lose a limb. Kai, horrified at the thought of that happening, shouts he’s sorry. Vigilante says he better be. He throws Kai a rag to clean up the blood.

Vigilante tells Kai to check on his (Kai’s) costume, as Chaos mentioned that he accidentally tore it while getting the Chaos costume out of the closet. Kai opens the closet and takes out the Brandonface costume, and sees that the cloak has a huge hole in it. He informs Vigilante, who hands Brandonface a black hoodie. He tells Kai that this will be a temporary replacement. Kai says okay and puts his costume back into the closet, causing him to realize that the Chaos costume is missing.

Kai asks where the Chaos costume is, causing Vigilante to reveal that Chaos is on a mission to abduct a survivor. We cut to Roxie and Britney are on their way to the spa, in the former’s car. Britney tells Roxie that she’s glad they could do this together. Roxie says she feels the same, before asking if Britney can keep a secret. Britney says she can. Roxie reveals that Ethan proposed to her last night, before showing Britney the engagement ring. Britney congratulates Roxie, before saying the ring is beautiful.

Suddenly, Britney screams “LOOK OUT”, causing Roxie to see that there’s somebody in the road. Roxie quickly swerves the car, causing it to drive into a bush. Roxie asks Britney if she’s okay, before turning to her and seeing that she has a pole impaled into her face. Britney Hawke, sister of Ethan Hawke, is dead. Roxie screams at the sight of this, before jumping out of her car. She grabs her phone to call the police, only to be hit over the head and knocked unconscious by Chaos, who was the person on the road.

We cut to a dark room, where Roxie is tied to a chair. Suddenly, Chaos comes up to her. Before Roxie can say anything, Chaos injects her with a syringe, which causes her to start hallucinating. Roxie hears a familiar voice call out “Roxie”. Roxie shouts “Tristian?” We come to realize that the voice belongs to Tristian Knight, the kid that committed suicide, which set off the events of Primal Fear S3. ‘Tristian’ appears and slowly talks up to Roxie, before stroking her face. He then grabs her arm and says, “I see you’ve stopped cutting”.

Before Roxie responds to that, ‘Tristian’ pulls out a knife and slashes Roxie’s wrists, before slashing her throat. ‘Tristian’ tells Roxie not to resist the cuts, but to embrace them. Roxie slowly bleeds to death from her cuts. Roxie Andrews, a survivor of the Waldenwood killing spree, and girlfriend Ethan Hawke, is dead. After Roxie dies, we cut to reality, causing us to see that it wasn’t really Tristian who killed her; it was Chaos. As he admires his work, we cut to black.

### Chapter 5

We open at the Forest house, where Mandy, Jonathan and Terry are talking about Vigilante’s return. Terry turns to Jonathan and tells him to keep his daughter safe, as he can’t lose another member of his family. Jonathan vows to keep Mandy safe. Terry thanks Jonathan, and tells him that he’s a good kid. Jonathan thanks Terry, who says that Mandy is lucky to have a father like him, as his father never cared about him, or his deceased brother, Thomas. Mandy looks sad about this, before mentioning that she remembers Thomas telling her.

Mandy tells Terry that she and Jonathan are gonna go to her bedroom and watch a movie. Terry says okay. After Mandy and Jonathan leave, we see Terry quietly sneak up the stairs and eavesdrop on their conversation. We hear Jonathan and Mandy talking about the former’s father, and how he was abusive, and mentally unstable. Mandy tells Jonathan that Thomas told her about what his father did; that he slashed his own wrists in front of them, and told them that it was their fault he did that.

He bled out, Thomas’ and Jonathan’s attempts to save his life. After hearing this, Terry walks away. We cut to the Carter-Lane house, where Nancy, Kaylee, Scott, Ava and Ali are talking, while Veronica and Ivy watch a movie in another room. Ali says that Ivy and Veronica seem to have become best friends, stating that she finds it adorable. She stutters a lot while saying this, causing everybody to realize that something isn’t right with Ali. Everybody asks Ali what’s wrong. Ali shakes her head and says “nothing”. Nancy grabs Ali’s hand and tells her that if there’s something wrong, then she can help.

Ali says she doesn’t want help, before standing up and starts walking away. However, a bottle of vodka drops out of Ali’s pocket, causing everybody to realize that Ali has been drinking again. We cut to a flashback, set a couple of weeks after Bella’s death, at Ali’s house. We see that Ali is struggling to deal with Tyler’s death. She cries as she mourns him. Her hand slowly reaches for a bottle of whiskey that she stole from her father. As the flashback ends, we see everybody hugging Ali, who is sobbing that they’re all gonna die, just like Tyler.

Nancy grabs Ali’s hand and tells her not to think like that, before going on to tell Ali that she’s a survivor and a fighter. Nancy tells Ali that she’ll get through this, and if Vigilante was to attack, then Ali will be strong enough to fight him off, as she is strong. Ali cries that she misses Tyler so much. Everybody comforts Ali as they tell her that they all do too. Veronica and Ivy, having heard the crying, walk into the room and see everybody hugging. They run over and join in.

We cut to Kai and Austin, who have just finished having sex. Austin notices that Kai has a scar on his arm, before asking him about it. Kai quickly makes up a story about how he was attacked by Vigilante, but didn’t tell anyone and thought it wasn’t important. Austin asks Kai how being attacked by a serial killier is unimportant, and insists that Kai needs to tell the police. Kai refuses to do so, as he does not want to risk the killers getting angry at him, which could read to Ivy getting targeted.

Austin says “killers?” Kai asks Austin what he means. Austin tells Kai that he said “killers”, not “killer”. Kai realizes he fucked up. He tells Austin that he meant to say killer. A suspicious Austin says okay, before asking what time they’re picking Ivy up. Kai tells Austin that he told Kaylee they’d pick Ivy up in an hour. Austin says okay, before mentioning that Kai never really told him why Ivy lives with him (Kai) and not their parents.

Kai tells Austin that when he came out to his parents, they banished him from the family. Kai says that when Ivy was diagnosed with cancer, his mother abandoned her (Ivy) on his doorstep. Austin says that’s terrible. Kai agrees, before revealing that he has more siblings, but has never met them. He adds that he’d like to one day meet his other siblings. Austin says that he hopes he does.

### Chapter 6

We open to Mandy, who is sitting in her living room. Suddenly, Terry walks in and informs her that he’s going out, and that she shouldn’t wait up. Mandy says okay. As soon as Terry leaves, Mandy stands up and walks into the kitchen to make some food. She starts to make a sandwich, until she realizes she needs a knife to spread the margarine/butter (idk what yall call it).

Mandy opens the drawer to get a knife, but discovers something unusual instead; a bloody phone. She recognizes the phone as Roxie’s. Mandy tells herself that this is just another hallucination. She closes her eyes and counts from ten, before opening her eyes and seeing that the bloody phone is NOT a hallucination.

Mandy becomes suspicious of why Roxie’s phone is in her house, and decides that she’s going to investigate her father’s office, to see if she finds anything else. Before going to her father’s office, Mandy arms herself with a knife, before whispering “just in case” to herself. Mandy quickly walks up to her father’s office and walks in, before opening several drawers to investigate. She spots a box on the top of a bookshelf, and sees a ladder next to it.

Mandy runs over and climbs the ladder, before opening the box and finding a bloody knife in the box, as well as the Chaos mask. Terry Forest is Chaos. Mandy, horrified that he father has all this stuff, tries to quickly climb back down the ladder, but she does it too fast, and this causes it too fall. We see that the fall has rendered Mandy unconscious. Hearing the noise, Terry goes to investigate and finds Mandy with his mask, bloody knife and the bloody phone.

He says, “fuck”, before taking away all the stuff. Terry then puts Mandy into bed. When she wakes up, Mandy looks around, before realizing that nothing from before is there. She becomes confused until Terry comes in. He tells her that she slipped on the floor and hit her head, so he brought her to bed. Mandy says that she remembers differently and asks to take a look at his office, telling him about the “nightmare” Terry allows this, and Mandy finds nothing.

We cut to the survivors, and Jonathan, meeting up at a picnic bench. Mandy looks sad as she tells that she found Roxie’s phone, as well as a mask she has never seen before and a bloody knife in Terry’s room. However, she has come to the conclusion that all of that was a nightmare, as she does not want to believe her father is a killer, and all of the stuff was gone when Terry showed her the office. This news shocks everybody, as they realize that Roxie isn’t here.

Austin, Ava and Kaylee say they’ll try ringing her, which they do. However, there is no answer. Meanwhile, at the Lost Woods Resort, Terry is putting the Chaos mask inside the cupboard. He then destroys Roxie’s phone and throws it into a nearby river. He mutters that he needs to stop hiding evidence at his home. He also mentions that his “stupid” daughter should stop being so nosey. We cut back to the picnic bench, where everybody is convinced that something has happened to Roxie.

Suddenly, Nancy receives a call from Chaos (Terry). She answers and asks if this is Vigilante and if he has Roxie. Chaos admits that he isn’t Vigilante, but an accomplice named Chaos, before confirming that he does in fact have Roxie. He then states that if Nancy wants Roxie to live, then she should come down to the Lost Woods Resort, alone. Nancy says she’ll be there, before asking Chaos if he is Terry. Chaos doesn’t answer, he just laughs, before hanging up the phone, leaving Nancy confused.

Nancy tells everybody that Chaos wants her at the Lost Woods Resort, alone. Everybody, especially Mandy, refuses to let Nancy go alone. Nancy says she is going alone, as she isn’t going to let anyone else get hurt. She runs off. We cut to somebody driving up to the Lost Woods Resort; it’s Mandy. We cut to a flashback, which causes us to see that Nancy got into her car, only to be grabbed by Mandy, who bashed Nancy’s head against the steering wheel and knocked her unconscious.

Mandy gets out of her car, and goes inside. She shouts to Chaos that she’s here, instead of Nancy. Terry, in his costume, appears, and tells Mandy that he wanted Nancy, not her. Mandy says that she wanted to be here, to see if her father is really a killer. Terry asks Mandy “What do you think?” Mandy can’t answer the question. Terry says that Mandy really is an idiot, before taking off his mask. Mandy is distraught to see that her father is a killer. She begins to cry. Terry tells Mandy that she is being a whiny baby, like she always has been.

Mandy begs Terry to tell her why he’s doing this, but before he can, Nancy, who has a bruised nose from being slammed against the steering wheel, catches up to them and sees that Terry is Chaos. Terry tells Mandy that she did some really nice work on Nancy, seeing her bleeding nose. Nancy tells Terry that he is a terrible father, and there is no justifiable reason to want to kill his daughter. Terry says that there is, before stating that will come later, and it is time for him to leave. Mandy screams that Terry cannot leave her.

She and Mandy run at Terry, who responds by shocking them both with a taser. Terry says that he will deal with them both soon enough, but before leaving, he tells them to open the closet on their left. Terry runs away. Mandy and Nancy get up. The girls try to chase after Terry, but he is already gone. Mandy cries over her father’s abandonment, before wondering where Roxie is. Nancy checks the closet that Terry suggested, and inside is Roxie’s corpse. They both scream. Smash to black.

### Chapter 7

We open on Ali’s house at nighttime. She is getting ready to go to bed. As she does so, Ali looks at a picture of Tyler. She says that she will always love him, even though he’s long gone. Just then, her cell phone rings. Ali answers it to hear a frantic Nancy, who tells her about the murders of Britney and Roxie, meaning that the killers are officially back for round three. Ali is horrified and distraught, having held off fully accepting this until more proof was gotten. Now, Ali can no longer deny it.

After hanging up, Ali goes into bed and cries herself to sleep. After falling asleep, Ali finds herself in the same shower at the lost woods resort that Tyler was tortured in. Tyler stands in front of her. Ali is initially overjoyed to see Tyler, forgetting that she is chained to a shower, until Tyler tells her that she isn’t worthy of him. Ali says that she loves Tyler, and she misses him so much. Tyler says that he hates Ali, and she should have been the one Abby killed.

Tyler turns on the shower, turns it to the highest percentage, and causes it to burn Ali, who screeches in pain. She begs to Tyler to stop, but Tyler says that Ali doesn’t deserve to live. What she does deserve is to suffer like he did. Several rocks appear out of nowhere, which Tyler picks up and throws at Ali for about five minutes. Ali is bruised and bloody at the end of it.

Ali begs forgiveness from Tyler. Tyler says that if Ali really cared about him, she would kill herself, and they would be reunited in death. He gives her a hint of how this could happen. Tyler grabs Ali and throws her out a window. Tyler immediately teleports to the ground and raises his arms out for Ali as she falls. Ali prepares to embrace him, but right before making it, she wakes up. Ali sobs that she can’t take this anymore. She runs out of the house.

We cut to a bridge, which is high above a river that is flowing below. Ali, still in tears, come up to the bridge. She looks down below and imagines Tyler, waiting to embrace her again. It’s clear that Ali is going to jump off the bridge to her death, and prepares to do so. Meanwhile, Ava and Ethan are walking nearby. Ethan is also devastated by the deaths of his sister and his girlfriend, and is asking Ava to give him some comfort. They notice Ali on the edge of the bridge, about to leap off.

Ava and Ethan quickly run up and pull Ali off the edge. Ali ends up crying in their screams, sobbing that she misses ‘him’ so much, and she simply can’t go on. Ava and Ethan say that Tyler wasn’t the only person that loved her. Ethan says that there are plenty of other reasons to live, like Ava taught him. He tells Ali to think about her friends. Ali thinks about the good times she’s had with Nancy, Mandy and the others. Ethan insists that friends are worth living for.

Ali asks how he thought of that. Ava speaks up, and says that she told Ethan that. She admits that she considered, and actually attempted, suicide several times while in Jyle’s custody, all of which failed. Ali is shocked. Ava admits that if any of the survivors tried to commit suicide, she figured that was the time to tell them, how to manage to preserve hope. Ava says that she just kept thinking of the good times she had in her life, and her eagerness to get back to it.

Ava claims she was on the brink of giving up until the Liberator (Abby) finally rescued her from Tarvender, and she got to reunite with her friends and come back. She implores Ali to embrace her friends and life. Ali decides that Ava and Ethan are right, and she apologizes for trying to take all of that away from herself. She cries in their arms again. We cut to Kaylee, Nancy, Veronica and Scott. Kaylee is mourning her personal friend’s death, being the most devastated about it.

Kaylee mentions how Roxie, Valerie and Cheryl were the only new survivors of the 3rd Waldenwood killing spree that she and Austin helped them survive in. She laments that now everyone she tried to help back then is dead, and it was all for nothing, and it cost her second baby. Scott says that it was not for nothing and Kaylee can’t lose hope here. Kaylee asks what the point of going is on and continuing to fight if everyone you love dies anyway.

It’s clear that after all these years, Kaylee is starting to reach her breaking point. Nancy says that the point is right in front of her. Kaylee looks at Scott, Nancy and Veronica. Nancy says that she after she lost Tyler, she came closer to the family and friends she had left. She says that Kaylee can’t give up now, and asks her to go on. Scott says that she’s already made progress by marrying him, which means that she was able to move on from Max’s death. Kaylee says that Scott and Nancy are right.

The foursome go into a group hug. Veronica says that together, they’ll kick Vigilante’s ass, as well as Terry’s. Nancy asks where she learned that word. Veronica responds with “I’ve been in a family that’s gone through three murder sprees, and you think I don’t know curse words?” Nancy says that is a good point. We cut to the Lost Woods Resort. Terry, Vigilante, and a costumed Kai are meeting up. Terry asks where “He” is. Vigilante says that “The Master” is not stepping into the killing spree unless absolutely required, as with the last two times, or if Kai messes up.

Vigilante asks Kai how he’s doing in keeping his identity a secret. Kai says that Austin is getting suspicious, but he’s still trying his best to keep it a secret. He also claims that he’s doing better than Terry over here. Vigilante comments that he is disappointed that Terry could not keep himself a secret. Terry says that he will make up to Vigilante. He proposes that he kill two targets tomorrow morning, of his own choosing. Vigilante accepts Terry’s proposal, and dismisses the group. After this, Vigilante goes deeper into the Lost Woods Resort, where he finds a dark figure (the Master) waiting.

They are wearing a costume, but it’s too hard to tell due to the darkness what it looks like. The Master asks how it’s going. Vigilante tells him that Terry has been exposed, and Kai is having a hard time keeping himself hidden as well. The Master says that Vigilante’s choices for accomplices were idiotic. Vigilante insists that they are making good progress, and reminds him that Terry was able to kill a Waldenwood survivor. Besides, it’s not their problem that Terry’s identity is out. The Master tells Vigilante to just make sure neither of them mess up again, and goes away. Cut to black.

### Chapter 8

We open on Austin’s house the next morning. He, Kai and Ivy are having breakfest together, when Ivy leaves to go the bathroom. After this, Austin asks Kai “where the hell where you last night?” Kai asks Austin what he is talking about. Austin reveals that he woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, and Kai was not in his bed. Kai realizes that he’s been caught again. Austin points out that Kai has been behaving weird ever since the killing spree started, and asks if Kai is hiding something.

Kai says that it’s complicated. Austin says that is the worst cover-up story that he has ever heard. He asks Kai if he’s really one of the killers. Kai asks how Austin could think like that, and he isn’t killing anyone. Austin says that he has witnessed “Very unlikely things” in his lifetime. Kai asserts that he would never try to harm his little sister, or someone whom he is about to get married to. Austin says that he will believe it when Kai confesses why he was out of bed.

Just then, Ivy comes back. Austin says that they’ll hold it off until later, but Kai cannot hold back his secrets forever. Kai nods, and the trio resume breakfast. We cut to Mandy’s home, where Jonathan is with her. He is trying to comfort her after her father’s reveal as the Chaos killer. Mandy is distraught that Terry has betrayed her. Jonathan asks if Terry showed signs of doing something like this. Mandy says that in the weeks after Mary’s death, Terry became mentally unstable had threatened her with a knife at one point.

This lead to Terry getting lots of help from his therapists, and he was eventually able to recover, or so it seemed. Jonathan asks if Terry explained his motive, which he did not. Just then, Mandy gets a text message from Terry. It says “You know what my motive is. You made friends with that angel of death (Nancy), and it got Mary killed. You tore our family apart. Now, I’m going to tear you apart.”

Jonathan texts back and asks how he could be doing this after the help he got. Terry explains that he was fine until Vigilante came to him privately, and reignited his passions for revenge on Mary, Nancy and her friends. Now, Terry is embracing “the truth” Mandy texts back and begs him to stop, which he refuses. She then asks that if Terry really wants to kill her, just get it over with.

Terry says that if Mandy wants to get it done with fast, then they could do it, right about now. Just then, Terry jumps out with a machete. He goes to stab it into Mandy’s head, but Jonathan pushes Mandy out of the way. This causes Terry to impale Jonathan through the head instead. Mandy screams out. Jonathan Crane, twin brother of Jonathan Crane, and 2nd boyfriend of Mandy Forest, is dead. Terry then pulls the machete out of Jonathan’s head.

Mandy shouts that they could have had a perfect father and daughter relationship, and they should have from the very beginning. Terry spitefully tells Mandy that the moment Mandy made friends with Nancy, it was the moment that she was no daughter of his. He runs at Mandy and punches her in the stomach. She looks at Jonathan’s corpse. Terry kicks Mandy several times on the ground. It’s clear that she is too heartbroken from her father’s betrayal, combined with her second boyfriend’s death, to fight back.

Terry says that he was looking forward to this for a long time, but he didn’t think it would be this fun. He turns on the stove on the maximum temperature, then picks up Mandy and slams her head against the stove. This causes her face to be set on fire. Mandy screams in total agony. Terry watches her burn, but before Mandy succumbs to the fire, Terry puts it out with some water. Mandy’s face is completely disfigured, but she is still alive.

Terry says that the thing most dear to him was Mary, and the thing most dear to Mandy is her beauty. Since he’s taken that away, they are just about even. Terry then begins strangling his daughter, and eventually finishes. Mandy Forest, daughter of Terry and Mandy Forest, and girlfriend of Thomas and Jonathan Crane, is dead. Terry puts Mandy’s face back onto the stove, and her entire body burns. Terry says that he's really glad that he listened to Vigilante. He leaves, with a smile on his face. We cut to the Carter house. There is a knock on the door.

Kaylee gets a knife just in case and answers the door with Nancy, Scott and Veronica. On the other side is Ethan, along with three other very familiar people. Ethan asks Kaylee why she is has a knife, to which she responds “Why do you think?” Ethan says that is a good point. Scott asks who his new friends are. Ethan asks if she’s ever heard of a trio killing spree in a town called Roseland. Nancy says that she has and it takes a moment for her to realize who the people are. It’s Valentina Ramsey, Luke Ramsey (now married) and Gustavo Ramsey (having been adopted by them), the survivors from the American Screamer Story trilogy. Smash to black.

### Chapter 9

We open on the park. All of the survivors have gathered up there to find Valentina, Luke and Gustavo all there. Valentina and Luke tell everyone that there are several reasons to why they have come. Veronica guesses that one of them is that they are here to help them fight the killers. Luke says that Valentina has that right, but there are still two more. Before this, Scott tells them that it's great they've come to help, but asks was it the best idea bringing a child to a murder spree. Valentina and Luke reveal that Gustavo won't be staying for long, as she'll be going to stay with a friend of theirs soon.

He asks everyone if he’s ever heard of Gage Ramsey. Ava remembers the name, and he realizes that Luke has Gage’s same last name. Luke reveals that Gage was, in fact, his cousin. Everyone is surprised by this. Ava asks how Gage got so bad to begin with, wanting to know since he helped stop Erika’s progress of becoming better again. Luke tells them that Gage was raised by his aunt and uncle, Charlie and Anna, who were the complete opposite of his mother, Joan Ramsey, who raped and tortured him repeatedly.

Luke begins to get deeper about talking about his mother’s abuse, which effects Veronica. The topic reminds her of when she was abused by her mother adoptive mothers: Katherine and Cassie. She gets a flashback about how Cassie used to beat her up and keep from going to the bathroom. She starts to cry because of this, but Scott comforts her. Luke notices how his conversation is impacting Veronica and apologizes. Nancy thanks him for understanding. Luke says that he’ll get right to the point.

He explains that despite being raised by good parents, Gage because a psychopath when he was 9, partly because his twin brother, Corbin, was always better than him and bullied him sometimes. One day, Gage snapped. We cut to a flashback. Gage and Corbin are in a very heated argument, since Corbin stole Gage’s pineapple. Corbin refuses to give it back, which prompts Gage to hit him with a flashlight. He then takes out some rope and strangles Corbin, while stabbing him 10 times. Corbin Ramsey, cousin of Luke Ramsey, twin brother of Gage Ramsey, is dead.

As Gage goes to leave, Charlie and Anna come up and see what he has done. Back in present day, Luke explains that after that, Gage was committed to a mental institution, where he never got better, until he was killed by Vigilante. Luke has come here to stop anyone else from being murdered, as well as to visit Charlie and Anna, having not done so in a very long time. Austin says that they would be more than glad to accept their help, stating that they could use all they can get. Luke thanks him.

Kai asks what the third and final reason is for them coming her. As he says this, Kaylee notices that Valentina is looking her. Valentina asks if she is Kaylee Westbrooke, which she confirms. Valentina stares at her for a little bit, which confuses everyone. She tells Kaylee that she’s heard a lot about her. Austin says that Kaylee is pretty much the most brutal survivor here, but Luke claims that Valentina is by far. Kaylee and Valentina say a couple of lines.

VALENTINA: Well, I stabbed the fuck out of a rapist (Dandy Mott), you?

KAYLEE: I gouged out a guy (Chase Fitzgerald)’s eye out with my bare fingernails.

VALENTINA: Wow.

KAYLEE: Yep.

Valentina stares in awe for a moment, before saying that they would make an unstoppable team, which Kaylee agrees. Nancy looks at Gustavo and asks if he is their baby. Gustavo says that they aren’t his biological parents, but they will always be his parents to him. Valentina explains that Gustavo Jr. was the baby of the deceased Gustavo Acosta and Brooke Maddox, and they adopted Gustavo Jr. to take care of him, as it is what Brooke and Gustavo would have wanted. Nancy notices the similarities of that and how she got to take care of Veronica.

She also notices that Mandy and Jonathan are not around. Everyone else realizes this. Ethan says that he was sure he sent text messages to them earlier, and says that he’ll try again later. Luke asks what they look like, so they can talk to them if they encounter Jonathan and Mandy first. Ethan gives him a description. Luke says that he, Valentina and Gustavo should get going right about now, so they can go see Anna and Charlie for dinner tonight.

Valentina says that if anyone needs their help, they can just call. She and Luke shake hands with everyone, officially making them allies. Luke, Valentina and Gustavo leave. We cut to that night at the Ramsey house, where Anna and Charlie are. They are visited by Luke, Valentina and Gustavo. Anna and Charlie proceed to hug their nephew, and shake hands with Valentina and Gustavo.

Anna says that it’s been so long since she’s seen Luke, and Charlie says the same. The five of them sit down on a family dinner table, and eat together. Luke asks Anna and Charlie if they can do him a favor. They say anything he wants. Luke asks if they can temporarily leave town with Gustavo, as he does not want his adoptive son, uncle and aunt, caught in the crossfire of the killers. They are reluctant to leave him alone during a murder spree, but they ultimately agree to take Gustavo for his own safety.

Gustavo tells his adoptive daddy that he doesn’t want to leave him. Luke tells Gustavo to trust him, and promises that everything will be fine. Just then, an arrow shoots through one of the windows, which hits Charlie through the head. Charlie Ramsey, husband of Anna Ramsey, father of Gage and Corbin Ramsey, and uncle to Luke Ramsey, is dead. Everyone screams. They spin toward the window, where Kai, in his Brandonface costume, is shooting arrows at everyone. They all take cover under the table.

Just then, Anna is dragged by her legs out of the table. We see that her dragger is Terry, who is no longer wearing a costume. He uses a machete to impale her face. Anna Ramsey, wife of Charlie Ramsey, mother of Gage and Corbin Ramsey, sister of Joan Ramsey, and aunt of Luke Rasmey, is dead. Luke is sobbing because of this. Terry goes to drag Luke out next, but Valentina kicks him and he retreats. Gustavo is crying. Valentina says that they have to get out of here. Luke says that on the count of three, they sprint out the back door (since Kai is near the front).

They count to three, and they sprint, with Valentina carrying Gustavo. Luke takes the lead and goes out the back door first. However, as soon as he goes out the back door, Luke hits a thin wire that Vigilante set up, and gets his throat slit. Valentina screams out as Luke bleeds to death. Luke Ramsey, son of Joan and Jerome Ramsey, nephew of Anna and Charlie Ramsey, cousin of Gage and Corbin Ramsey, and husband of Valentina Romero, is dead. Valentina is too hysterical to run away with Gustavo because of her husband’s death.

This allows Vigilante to walk up to her and hit her with a crowbar. Vigilante tells Valentina that she should have stayed away from town, and this is what happens when she sticks her nose into his business. Vigilante hands Terry the crowbar before walking up to Gustavo, who tries, but fails to run away. He takes out a plastic sheet, which he wraps out Gustavo’s head, starting to suffocate the poor five year old. Valentina tries to help her adopted child, but Terry hits her with the crowbar again.

Kai, who is standing next to Terry, is horrified at a child’s death and cannot bear to look. Vigilante orders him to turn around, or “she (Ivy) dies” Kai slowly and reluctantly turns back around. He starts twitching and shaking with horror and guilt at seeing Gustavo’s death. Kai starts silently crying to himself, heartbroken that he cannot prevent this. Valentina looks the same as she watches the murder. Eventually, Vigilante finishes suffocating Gustavo Jr. to death. Gustavo Jr., son of Gustavo Acosta and Brooke Maddox, and adoptive son of Valentina Romero and Luke Ramsey, is dead.

Valentina stares in horror, now that her whole family is dead. Vigilante says that Valentina has nothing left, and it’s all her fault. He then tells Terry to finish Valentina off by beating her to death with the crowbar. Terry goes to do so, but Valentina suddenly grabs his wrist. Valentina says that she does have something to live for, which she doesn’t say what, and states that she is a “brutal survivor” for a reason. She hits Terry several times over the head with a crowbar, which knocks him unconscious.

Vigilante runs up to Valentina and punches her several times in the face. Valentina exchanges hits and kicks back. Both are clearly very skilled fighters, with experience. They dodge some of each other’s hits and gets some back. It’s a very brutal, yet evenly matched battle. Vigilante tells Kai to help him, but he is too traumatized by Gustavo’s death to move or speak. Vigilante screams at him to “man up”, which he does not. Angry, Vigilante continues to fight Valentina.

He kicks her in the face, hard enough to break her nose, but this fails to stop Valentina, who is full of anger and rage. Valentina does a few spin kicks across Vigilante’s face, which is partly shielded by Vigilante’s mask. Still, he is in pain. They continue to fight to a stalemate, until both start to become exhausted. Valentina kicks Vigilante to the ground. She says that she won’t kill him yet. Not today, maybe not tomorrow, but eventually, she will kill Vigilante. Valentina runs off.

Too tired to pursue Valentina, Vigilante grabs Kai by the throat and berates him for not doing anything. He slaps him a few times to get Kai out of his traumatized trance. Vigilante says that Austin and Ivy are on their “very last thread of life” and if Kai messes up again, there will be no redemption for him. He asks if Kai understands. Kai lets out a slight nod. While running through the woods, Valentina encounters a car and screams, trying to flag it down. The car is revealed to be Kaylee’s, and she sees that Valentina is covered in bruises and blood. Valentina cries that Kaylee is all she has left. Slightly confused, Kaylee drives off with Valentina toward the hospital. Cut to black.

### Chapter 10

We cut to the hospital the next morning. Valentina is sitting on a bed, bandaged up from her wounds during her fight with Vigilante. She is also mourning Luke and Gustavo Jr.’s deaths. Valentina is visited by Kaylee, Veronica, Nancy and Scott as she is mourning. She says that she cannot believe that this has really happened. Valentina tells everyone that Luke has been through so much in life, so deserving of a happy ending, that she never thought Luke would get into danger again, much less actually be killed.

Nancy informs her that he isn’t the only one who is dead. She reveals that Mandy and Jonathan’s bodies have been found at the scene, having been placed there earlier by one of the killers. Although she never met them, Valentina at least feels some sadness that they are dead. To comfort her, Kaylee tells Valentina that she’s had a similar tragedy with Max, even though he’s never actually been raped, and had nice parents.

Valentina tells everyone that it’s time for them to hear the third, and real reason, why she came here. Scott recalls her saying that coming to help was the primary reason. Valentina tells Kaylee that there is a reason why she said Kaylee is all she is left. She tells Kaylee that her mother, the deceased Sofia Romero, was her father, Ashton Westbrook's mistress, Valentina reveals that this resulted in Sofia being pregnant with Valentina.

Everyone is stunned. Valentina explains that after she, Luke and Gustavo Jr left for Manchester, UK, for a fresh start, they met up with Valentina’s aunt, who told her about Kaylee being her half-sister. Valentina came here to reunite with her half-sister.

As Valentina finishes her story, Kaylee says that her parents never mentioned her being her having a half-sister. Valentina says that Sofia and Ashton kept it a secret, though her aunt found out about it. She tells Kaylee that she is the only family that she has left now that Luke and Gustavo Jr. are dead. Valentina asks Kaylee if they can bond and be sisters together. Kaylee says that Valentina took the risk of coming here just to see her again, and that she deserves to have a sister.

She decides to accept Valentina as her sister. The half-sisters hug, with Valentina crying tears of despair and joy on Kaylee’s shoulder. Nancy, Scott and Veronica look on. They are obviously glad to accept as their half-step aunt, regardless of how distant she really is. We cut to Kai and Ivy, who are at a playground. Kai is trying to get rid of the pressure on him by having fun with Ivy, whom goes down a slide. She laughs and giggles as this happens.

Ivy says that Kai is the best older brother she’s ever had. Kai smiles, satisfied that his sister loves her so. She continues to play around, while Kai sits on a table watching. Just then, a hooded figure comes up to him. Kai sees who the figure is and says “Whatever you want Vig, can’t it just wait?” Vigilante, still using the voice modulator, says that it cannot. He says that the master is nearby and has a crossbow aimed at Ivy, meaning Ivy will die if Kai doesn’t do what he says. Kai asks what he wants.

Vigilante says that Terry is about to intercept some survivors, and has a “wicked idea” on how to kill them. Vigilante tells Kai to wait for four minutes, then get into his car and drive toward the hospital. Kai will find what he is looking for on the road. Kai asks what he is supposed to do about Ivy, as he can’t just leave her here. Vigilante gives him some chloroform to use and goes away. After the four minutes, Kai calls Ivy back, and painlessly renders her unconscious with the chloroform.

He then puts her in the back seat and drives off. Meanwhile, Nancy, Valentina, Scott, Veronica and Kaylee are all driving off from the hospital, with Scott driving. Valentina and Kaylee sit next to each other. Valentina tells Kaylee about how she’s always wanted to have children with Luke. Kaylee asks if she did get one. Valentina says that she and Luke had sex many times, but eventually learned that she is sterile, meaning that she cannot have babies. Kaylee says that she knows what that kind of pain is like.

She tells her about the miscarriage she had with Max’s first baby, and when she finally did get a baby, he was murdered in front of her. Valentina is shocked by this. She says that they have things in common that they really shouldn’t have. The sisters hold hands. Just then, their car is suddenly T-boned, forcing it off the road. The driver of the other car gets out, and is revealed to be Terry. He peers inside Scott’s car and finds everyone injured and incapacitated. Terry drags Veronica out and goes to the road.

Meanwhile, Kai is driving on the road when he gets a call from Vigilante, which he puts on speaker. Vigilante tells him that Terry has placed Veronica on the road, and Kai must run her over with his car. Kai says that Veronica is just a child, like Ivy. Vigilante responds with “Do I sound like I give a shit about children? Run the slut over! She’s just up ahead. I’m also at the scene watching, by the way” Kai sees Veronica on the road. She is too exhausted and hurt from the crash to do anything to move. Terry stands on the right, waiting for Kai’s car to run over Veronica.

Scott crawls out of the wreckage and sees his daughter about to be run over. He tries to crawl himself toward the road, despite his condition, desperate to save Veronica, but it is clear he will not make it. Kai is horrified at what he is about to do, while Terry smiles. Seeing that Terry is enjoying this, Kai closes his eyes and instinctively swerves the car to the right. This causes him to instead drive into Terry, who is thrown by the impact against a tree. Terry Forest, father of Mandy Forest, husband of Mary Forest, and the Chaos killer, is dead. Kai continues driving past Terry’s bloody corpse.

He then gets another call from the beyond enraged Vigilante, who screams “YOU MOTHERFUCKING DUMBASS!!!” Kai looks at his mirror and sees what he did. He says that he just couldn’t run over a child. Vigilante says that thanks to Kai’s defiance, Austin is going to die, no more second chances. Kai yells at him to leave Austin alone, but he hangs up. Kai then drives toward Austin’s house, but the car breaks down. It is then revealed that Kai forgot to get gas, and the gas tank is now empty. This forces Kai to get out of the car with Ivy, and they race back to the house on foot (since he can’t leave Ivy alone in the car). Cut to black.

### Chapter 11

We cut to Austin’s house, where he is on his computer. Soon, Austin gets an e-mail from “a friend”, which contains a recording. Austin decides to play the recording, which is the stolen footage that Vigilante mentioned at Chapter 1, which shows Kai at the shopping mall last story. He puts on the agriculture costume, before killing Mikaela, Kevin and that guard. Austin is shocked and horrified as he watches this. Kai and Ivy return as the recording ends.

After putting the still unconscious Ivy down, Kai tells Austin that he can explain. Austin says that this explains why Kai has always been acting so suspicious, because he’s a murder. Kai shouts that he didn’t have a choice. Austin says that Kai is not pulling that bullshit on him, as he’s been in too many killing sprees to fall for it. He takes a knife out of his pocket, but Kai holds back his wrist. He shouts that Austin must give him a chance to explain. Eventually, Austin relents and gives him 30 seconds.

Kai rapidly explains that before Abby’s killing spree started, he was visited by her and Vigilante. They threatened to kill Ivy if Kai did not help them. So, Kai went on that killing spree at the shopping mall, as they agreed it would be the only time he would have to kill. After Abby’s death, Kai put his past behind him. However, Vigilante approached Kai again and threatened him again. Feeling powerless due to threats on his little sister and now his boyfriend, Kai agreed to help again.

Kai kept going until Vigilante started ordering him to kill children, and the latter killing Gustavo Jr., at which point he killed Terry instead of Veronica as told to. Kai warns Austin that Vigilante is coming that they have to leave, now. Before Austin can reply, a dart gets shot into his side. Another dart gets shot into Kai’s back. Both fall unconscious, and Vigilante is shown to have shot them with a tranquilizer.

We cut to sometime later. Austin and Kai wake up, tied to chairs. They are also still inside the house. Kai looks around for Ivy, and panics when he realizes that she is not around. Meanwhile, upstairs, Ivy finally wakes up from being knocked out with chloroform. She is in a bedroom upstairs, tucked underneath a blanket. After getting out the bed, she exits the room and calls out for Kai. Just then, Vigilante comes with a machete. He chops off Ivy’s left forearm. She screams out in agony.

Ivy falls to the ground and starts crawling down the stairs, trying desperately to crawl away with only one arm. Vigilante walks, but slowly, wanting to see how long Ivy can keep this up for. After getting to the bottom of the stairs, Ivy sees Austin and Kai, and cries out their names. She crawls toward them, but Vigilante drags her backstairs. Ivy continues to scream out for her older brother and Austin, who are hysterical and beg Vigilante to stop. Vigilante asks Austin “does this remind you of anything?”

Austin has a flashback taking place in The Primal Fear Season 3. It’s when his daughter, Veronica, was murdered by Sharon Fitzgerald in front of him. Vigilante says that history is repeating itself, before hacking, stabbing, bashing and mutilating Veronica with the machete, much to Austin and Kai’s horror. Ivy Richards, younger sister of Kai Richards, is dead. Vigilante says that this is what Kai gets for disobeying him and the master, before saying that he is next.

Vigilante walks up to Kai, who screams that he loves Austin, and he’s sorry for everything he’s done. Austin, chocked with tears, says that he loves Kai too. Vigilante then slams the machete into Kai’s skull. Kai Richards, older brother of Ivy Richards, the agriculture and Brandonface killer, and boyfriend of Austin Thomas, is dead. Vigilante says that Austin has the “world record” of losing people that he loves. Austin, filled with anger and rage, attempts to break free from the chair. Vigilante says that if Austin couldn’t break free last time with Sharon, it won’t be any different. However, Austin does break free.

He runs up to Vigilante and punches him hard enough in the face to knock him backward. Vigilante quickly gets back up and throws some punches at Austin. The two exchanges brutal punches. Vigilante grabs Austin’s arm and slams his head against a table, trying to pin him down. However, Austin is able to pick himself up. He elbows Vigilante in the face and kicks him in the stomach. Vigilante kicks Austin in the chest, and spin kicks him in the face. Vigilante says that Austin is a wimp.

Austin punches Vigilante in the face will all of his strength, which makes his mask crack. Austin then does a kick on Vigilante’s mouth, causing the voice changer to be damaged, giving Vigilante a high pitched voice. Vigilante curses, before trying to finish off Austin, but he continues to hold his own, even starting to get the upper hand. Austin spin kicks Vigilante across the face, turning him around, and kicks him in the back. Vigilante is taking a beating, and is starting to wear out.

Austin and Vigilante trade more vicious kicks and punches. Eventually, Austin manages to overpower Vigilante, which prompts him to pull out a gun right before Austin can finish him. Austin says that Vigilante is the real wimp here. In response, Vigilante shoots him twice in the chest, knocking him back. Vigilante says that he would shoot Austin in the head, but he’ll just leave him to suffer. He says that there is no use fighting it, as Austin doesn’t have anyone left to live for. Vigilante leaves.

As Austin lies on the floor, he realizes that he is going to bleed to death, after all he’s been through. Austin stares upwards and thinks about all the people close to him that he’s lost. He thinks about his parents, Harry and Ashley Thomas, Nathan and Nicole Smith, Sean and Hayley Campbell (even though they were killers), Shane, Jill and Max Roberts, Caleb, his aunt Sasha Roberts, his husband Oliver Anderson, and finally Kai and Ivy Richards.

By the time he finishes thinking about everyone, Austin accepts his fate, glad to be back with everyone that he has lost. He closes his eyes and goes completely limp. Austin Thomas, Primal Fear season 1 survivor, husband of Oliver Anderson, son of Harry and Ashley Thomas, nephew to Shane, Jill and Sasha Roberts, cousin of Max Roberts, boyfriend of Kai Richards, and father of Veronica Anderson, is dead. The screen zooms out of Austin’s corpse. Fade to black.

### Chapter 12

We cut to a week later at the funerals of Austin, Kai and Ivy. Kaylee, Veronica, Nancy, Ava, Ethan, Ali and Scott are there, mourning for their slain friends. Among the most distraught are Kaylee and Ava, who were very close to Austin. Kaylee and Ava speak at Austin’s gravestone. Kaylee says that Austin was the one who guided her through the Primal Fear killing sprees, and it was thanks to him and she is still alive today. Kaylee tells Austin that he didn’t die in vain, and neither did Kai and Ivy. She swears that Vigilante will die, and Austin will always be remembered. Ava speaks next.

She says that when she first knew Austin, it seemed like Sean, Hayley and Charlotte would wipe them all out, but thanks to Austin, they were able to survive. Ava says that she was hoping Austin would rescue her from Jyle, but he had no way of knowing she was still alive. Ava tells Austin that everything that’s happened wasn’t his fault, but he was the best friend she could ask for. Nancy, Veronica, Ali and Scott all come up. They thank Austin for volunteering to help them fight Abby four years ago, and acknowledge his bravery in doing that.

Nancy says that they will fight on, just like Austin wanted. Next, Ethan walks up. He tells Austin that while they didn’t really interact much, he did know him. He says that Austin was every bit a badass final boy that he’s seen in the movies are: tough, badass, and smart. Ethan says that he deserved to live, but acknowledges that Austin was a “badass until the very finish” The final person to come up is Valentina. She tells Austin that they barely knew each other, but she’s looked up what he’s been through.

Valentina says that people should never have to go through these horrible things. She tells Austin that she’s sorry for all the people that he’s lost, and there are more people that shared his fate more than there should be. She says that Austin reminds her of Violet Harmon, a girl that she loved like her sister. Valentina says that she was sure that Violet would survive, but she died in the final showdown. She says that won’t happen anymore, and she’ll make sure of it. Everyone leaves the graveyard together.

After this, everyone gathers to the club, where they talk about Austin’s death, and also of Kai’s revelation, which Vigilante told them about during the one week time jump. Ava says that she definitely didn’t think that Kai would have been one of the killers. Veronica says that Kai was not a bad guy at the end, considering that he killed Terry and spared her life, at the cost of Ivy, Kai and Austin. Veronica says that three lives dying, which includes her best friend, wasn’t worth it.

She cries that maybe she should have died instead of all of them. Kaylee tells Veronica not to think that way. Ava says that Kai spared Veronica for them, and with Terry dead, there is only killer left to worry about: Vigilante (They do not know about the Master yet). Scott says that Ava is right, and Kai’s sacrifice was not in vain. He says that with that bastard Terry down, all they have to do is kill Vigilante and it’s all over. Ethan says that the only question left is who Vigilante could be.

Everyone looks at each other for a moment. Ava says that they shouldn’t built up tension, which is the last thing they need right now. Nancy says that Ava is right, and that they all need to stick together if they are going to survive this. Everyone agrees, and they leave. We cut to sometime after the meeting at the Lost Woods Resort. Vigilante and the Master are meeting up again. This time, the Master is completely visible and we see his costume, which is revealed to be some kind of white mask, and a black hat.

The Master also has a very realistic mask that makes him look like a male, and has a male like voice, though we can’t completely tell he is really a male. The Master is listening to Vigilante’s story about Kai and Terry’s deaths. He also learns about Austin and Ivy dying. The Master says that while he is very unhappy that both of Vigilante’s accomplices are dead, he is impressed that Vigilante was able to kill Ivy, Kai and Austin all by himself. Vigilante says that Abby and he trained him to be this way.

The Master says that Vigilante has demonstrated that he can correct anything that goes wrong. Vigilante asks that the Master personally join the killing spree. The Master says that he’s almost never performed a kill before, and has always worked behind the scenes, as Abby and Vigilante know. However, the Master decides that he should start now, as he’s prepared “his entire life” to do this. The Master agrees to personally help Vigilante with the killing spree. They shake hands and laugh. Cut to black.

### Chapter 13

We open on the club, where everyone has already left, except for Veronica, Nancy and Ava, who talk. Veronica tells Ava and Nancy that she’s sick of standing around while everyone around her dies. She tells Nancy and Ava that she wants to survive, and learn how to fight. Ava asks Veronica if she’s a little young to fighting. Veronica says that she was very lucky not to be in danger in the first killing spree, but she nearly died in the second. Veronica states that she needs to know at least some measure of self-defense, even though she has a strong family. Veronica asks for a sparring match with Nancy, who accepts.

Veronica and Nancy get onto a training mat and take off their shoes. Ava is watching nearby to make sure that nothing goes wrong with Veronica. Veronica says that she doesn’t want to hit Nancy. Nancy says she really doesn’t want to hit Veronica either, so she won’t. Nancy says that she will throw some hits at Veronica, but she will be extremely slow and give Veronica plenty of time to dodge it. Veronica promises to stop if Nancy is feeling any pain, which she discourages.

Nancy tells Veronica to hit her, with all of her strength. Veronica goes up to Nancy and kicks her in the side, then punches her in the stomach. Veronica says that she can be softer in her hits if Nancy wants. Nancy says that she can take whatever Veronica can throw at her, so it isn’t really a problem. Veronica throws some more kicks and punches at Nancy, most of which she skillfully dodges. She eventually lands a punch on Nancy’s nose, which is hard enough to knock her down. This surprises all three of them.

Veronica regrets the punch and helps Nancy back up. Ava says that Veronica did a great job, which Nancy supports. Another voice says that was a worst punch he’s ever seen. The girls see that it’s Vigilante, who is leaning against a wall. The trio then proceed to run away toward the front door, only to run into the Master, who has a gun. He orders everyone to go back inside, which they do. A very confused Nancy asks Vigilante who his new friend is.

The Master tells Nancy that he is not some new friend of Vigilante’s, but he is his master. Vigilante explains that the Master has been a secret mastermind, officially taking that role in Honoring Part 2. Everyone is surprised to hear this. The Master says that he killing has been building up “my entire life” Ava asks what he means by his entire life. The Master says that his origins go back, way back. He says that they will get into the details later, and claims that only two of them will leave her alive.

The Master tells Nancy, Ava and Veronica to pick someone to sacrifice, or he’ll shoot them all dead. If they pick someone, then he’ll let the other two go, so that they can tell the others of the Master. Veronica holds Nancy’s hand, refusing to let her sacrifice herself, and it’s clear that Nancy would never give up Veronica. Refusing to let the sisters be broken up, Ava volunteers to be sacrificed. Nancy and Veronica are horrified by this, Nancy more.

Ava insists that she will not separate sisters who love each other, and implores them to go. Nancy and Veronica promise Ava that this won’t be in vain, and run off. Vigilante then goes to up Ava and slams a machete into her shoulder, before twisting it. This is the same way that Ava “died” back in Primal Fear, and she collapses, pretending to be dead, again. The Master and Vigilante start walking away. Ava thinks to herself that she is an expert in sacrifices, and everyone who tries to kill are pretty much dumbasses for targeting her shoulder.

Just then, the machete gets slammed into her face. Ava Crane, Primal Fear survivor, and daughter of Jeremy Crane, is dead. We then see that it was the Master who has killed Ava. He tells Vigilante that he was an idiot for just slamming the machete into her shoulder, instead of her head. He also points out that Jyle Venedict made that same mistake, though it got him a good captive for 12 years. Vigilante says that he’ll aim for headshots for now on. The Master says that this kill was oddly satisfying, due to fixing Vigilante’s incompetence.

Vigilante asks the Master how long he’s going to keep complaining. The Master says that he’ll stop now, and claims that the final showdown is coming soon, now that he’s getting involved in this. The killers look down at Ava’s corpse. Meanwhile, Nancy and Veronica head toward their house and knock on the door. Seeing their urgency, Scott and Kaylee let them in and ask what happened. Nancy and Veronica tell them that Ava is dead. Kaylee is shocked by this. She starts to cry. Cut to black.

### Chapter 14

We cut to a few hours after Ava’s death at the Carter house, where everyone has gathered to mourn Ava’s death. With Ava dead, Kaylee is now the sole survivor of the Primal Fear trilogy. Valentina is comforting her over this. She says that she is the sole survivors of the three killing sprees she first went through. She tells Kaylee that she isn’t alone, despite the loss of her fellow survivors. Kaylee asks Valentina to promise her something. Valentina says that she’ll promise anything.

Kaylee tells Valentina that she’s starting to lose everything that she rebuilt in her life after Chase Fitzgerald’s death, and she’s afraid of losing what she has left. Valentina admits that the only thing close to her like family left is Kaylee, with Luke dead. She says that she will never let anyone take away her sister away, despite Kaylee being a half sibling. They hold hands. Although the two haven’t met each other before this story, their similar tragedies have brought them together.

Meanwhile, Nancy, Scott, Veronica, Ali and Ethan talk about the reveal that there is a second killer. Ethan asks what the Master said. Veronica explains how the Master is the mastermind behind Vigilante and Abby. Everyone is totally stunned that there is a mastermind. Ali says that Abby being behind it was bad enough, but if someone was teaching her with Melissa, then the Master is the ultimate mastermind. She asks what the Master looked like.

Nancy describes him as wearing a Jack the ripper cloak and cane, and almost exactly like a male. However, she could tell, very dimly, that the Master was wearing a very realistic mask, implying that the Master might not be a male. Scott says that Vigilante and the Master are somebody, but the question is who. Ethan says that the Master must be someone that they don’t know, but he is certain that Vigilante is. Veronica says that killers have always been someone they know, but Nancy points out that they never knew Rhinoface (Donald Newton), or the Executioner (Jyle Venedict).

Nancy concludes that someone they know is Vigilante, but the Master could be someone unknown. Everyone agrees that is the most likely option. Eventually, the group disbands. We cut to the POV of one of the leaving members, who looks at Ali. After making sure nobody else is going in the same direction, the unseen character walks up to Ali. Ali notices the person, whom she recognizes, and asks “Why do you have that knife?”, before realizing that this is Vigilante. Before she can act, the unseen and unmasked Vigilante knocks her out with chloroform.

We cut to the Lost Woods Resort. Ail is waking up, tied to a chair, with the Master and Vigilante in front of her. Ali screams at Vigilante that he is a traitor. Vigilante says that he’s more like a double agent, with his true loyalties being with the Master. The Master says that Vigilante isn’t the best in concealing his idenity, but he’s the best he’s ever had. He says that for kidnapping Ali, he’ll let Vigilante have some fun with her first. Vigilante thanks the master, before telling Ali that they’re going to do some target practice, and sitting on a chair with a bow and arrow.

He shoots arrows into both of her hands and feet. Ali manages to resist screaming for the first two arrows, but lets it out at the third and fourth. Vigilante says that Ali was always a big crybaby, crying over some little burns, and her boyfriend, who died over four years ago. He says that Tyler was a pussy during his death scene. Ali screams at him not to insult Tyler, before saying that he would never break down. Vigilante says “Oh really?” before taking out his phone and showing her a video of Tyler’s death, which Abby gave to her partner before she died.

It shows Tyler being brutally tortured due to being handcuffed in the shower, and being boiled at the highest temperature. Tyler can't even pretend that it isn't affecting him, as the shower is burning him that badly. He screams and screeches to be let go, but Abby ignores him. Ali is horrified to see Tyler in pain, and closes her eyes, but the Master forces them back open and makes her watch. Ali is forced to see Tyler getting stoned, castrated, and his limbs getting torn off. She is heartbroken to see it all, and cries again. Vigilante says that Ali is just about done, and says the Master can finish her now if he wants.

The Master takes out lots of bottles, which are revealed to be all of Ali’s alcohol, which she was planning to throw away after her failed suicide attempt. The Master says that if Ali likes alcohol so much, then she should have all of it. He pours Ali’s alcohol all over her. Vigilante then gives the Master a match, which he lights. He tells Ali that the smell of burning flesh always give him pleasure. Ali screams at him to put the match down. The Master says that Ali should be used to this, after all, she did this before.

The Master throws the match on the alcohol, setting Ali on fire. Ali screeches from the pain. The Master and Vigilante admire the smell of Ali’s burning flesh. This time, there are no fire sprinklers for Ali to use to extinguish her flames, and she continues to burn with no way of getting help from Tyler or anyone else. The Master and Vigilante high five as Ali burns to death. Ali Warner, girlfriend of Tyler Lane, the tertiary final girl of the trilogy, and season 1 survivor, is dead. Cut to black.

### Chapter 15

We cut to the same night of Ali’s death. Vigilante and the Master are converging on the Carter house, stealthily. Vigilante asks to go over “the plan” again. The Master reminds Vigilante that they here to kidnap two of the family. He says that this will be the perfect way to set up the final showdown with Kaylee and the others. Vigilante agrees, but points out it will be rather difficult to get them out without anyone noticing. The Master says that he already thought of that, and tells Vigilante to follow him, quietly. They go up to a window.

The killers see Kaylee, Veronica, Nancy and Scott having a family dinner, with a big turkey on the table. Vigilante says that he turkey looks delicious. The Master tells Vigilante to shut up so that he will not blow their cover. Vigilante complies. The Master takes out a large can and throws it through the window and inside the room. The can is filled with knockout gas, which quickly spreads throughout the room. Nancy, Veronica and Scott fall unconscious first, though Kaylee resists.

Vigilante and the Master go inside, as they aren’t affected by the gas due to wearing masks. Kaylee sees them before finally slipping into unconsciousness. Vigilante leaves a note for Kaylee when she wakes up, while the Master drags away Nancy and Veronica. The two killers leave with Nancy and Veronica. Vigilante says that Abby would be so proud of them right now, which the Master agrees with. At the Lost Woods Resort, Nancy and Veronica wake up, both chained up to the walls. Veronica says that she is scared. Nancy says that she won’t let anything happen to her, and they’ll escape.

Just then, Vigilante and the Master come up. The Master tells Nancy not to make promises that she can’t keep. Nancy says “Fuck you” to the Master. Vigilante asks Nancy if she has learned nothing in the past two killing sprees, like it’s unwise to insult the mastermind killer. Nancy asks Vigilante why he’s doing this. He turns to the Master asks if he can reveal himself to them. The Master gives him permission. Vigilante says that’s for “The woman that I loved” He takes off his mask. Vigilante is…

ETHAN HAWKE! Nancy and Veronica gasp. Ethan asks if they are surprised. Veronica says that she trusted Ethan, who says that Veronica always did place her trust in the wrong people. Nancy guesses that Ethan’s girlfriend is Abby/Bella Howard, which he confirms. Ethan explains that Bella seduced him after learning the truth about her origins from Melissa. After having sex three times, Ethan had blind love and loyalty to Bella, who kept their relationship hidden.

He was recruited to take over the killing spree in case anything happened to Bella. Ethan says that Bella and he would have had such “awesome killer babies” and it’s Nancy’s fault that she’s dead. Nancy reminds Ethan that Ali killed Bella, and he replies “Why do you think me and the Master burnt that bitch alive?” Veronica asks if it was him who did that in the prom back in Part 2. Ethan laughs, before bringing in Ali’s burnt corpse and throwing it in front of Veronica and Nancy, who are horrified at the death of their friend.

Ethan says that it felt so satisfying to watch her burn, since he was finishing the job that Erika started a long time ago. Nancy asks where the Master fits in. The Master says that he started to work behind the scenes with Abby and Ethan, and admits that he did commit one kill in their killing spree, though he refuses to state who it was. The Master says that he’s really getting bored of chatting and brings in an electric tiller (which is like a lawn mower, but with razor sharp edges). He gives it to Ethan, who says that he’s been waiting to use this for a very long time, and this is going to feel so good.

Ethan turns on the electric tiller and drives it onto Nancy, whose skin is cut through. He begins ripping and tearing her to pieces with the electric tiller, right in front of poor Veronica, who screams her head off at seeing her older sister being torn apart. Ethan continues mutilating Nancy, and also rips open her stomach, letting all her intestines out. Nancy Carter, the final girl of the trilogy, daughter of Scott Lane and Lorraine Carter, granddaughter of Kathy and Clarence Carter, girlfriend of Patrick Villane and Felix Venedict, and the sister of Tyler and Veronica Carter, is dead.

Veronica is sobbing her eyes out because of her sister’s death. Ethan, who is covered in Nancy’s blood, takes Nancy’s intestines and throws them onto Veronica. She is now covered with her older sister’s blood and intestines, and it is absolutely disgusting. The Master tells Ethan that he wants to take over from here. Ethan allows it and gives him a nail gun. The Master sits on a nearby chair and shoots Veronica a few times in the arms and legs, making her suffer more. Veronica is in total agony.

The Master says that it’s time for the finish, and Ethan gives him a chainsaw. After revving up the chainsaw, the Master goes up to Veronica, who is too broken, mentally and physically to do anything. The Master says that Veronica is pathetic, before shoving the chainsaw up her vagina. He rips the chainsaw upwards, cutting her up the middle. Eventually, Veronica is completely torn in half. Veronica Carter, sister of Nancy and Tyler Carter, daughter of Lorraine Carter, and granddaughter of Clarence and Kathy Carter, is dead. The Master turns to Ethan, who says that it’s time to end this. Cut to black.

### Chapter 16

We cut to when Kaylee, Scott and Valentina regain consciousness. They get up and see that Veronica and Nancy are gone, but Ethan is there. He tells them that he got a text message from Vigilante that something was happening here and went to investigate. Scott panics when he realizes that both of his daughters are absent and searches around for them, to no avail. Kaylee then gets a call from the Master, who tells her that as usual, she is too powerless to do anything. Kaylee demands to know where Nancy and Veronica are. The Master says that she’ll find out in the Lost Woods Resort

He tells her that this is the end, and everything that’s happened comes full circle, leading Kaylee to realize that she will now learn who Vigilante and the Master really are. The Master tells her that when this is all done, there will be no survivors. Also, nobody is allowed to bring any weapons, and he will kill Nancy and Veronica, who are already dead, if they do. Kaylee tells the Master that he is going to die tonight, and she’s had practice with killing without a weapon before. She hangs up.

Scott says that they cannot let Nancy and Veronica die. Ethan and Valentina agree, and Kaylee gets into her car and drives to the Lost Woods Resort. We cut to when they arrive. Before going inside, Kaylee asks to talk to Scott, who tells her to be quick. Kaylee says that the only other time she’s felt true love before was with Max Roberts, and she never thought she would get a new husband. However, recent events have proved her wrong. Kaylee tells Scott that she loves him, and asks him to promise not to die.

Scott tells Kaylee that he’s known that she’s loved her since the four years they have gotten married, and promises not to die. They share a kiss. Kaylee also promises to stay alive for the sake of Valentina, so she can have a happy ending with her sister. They share a hug, and the foursome goes inside, where the Master is waiting. Scott and Kaylee demand to know where Nancy and Valentina are. In response, the Master pulls out a gun. He says that they will get to that later, and tells Vigilante to come up.

Just then, Ethan walks up to the Master and stands next to him. Scott, Kaylee and Valentina are shocked as they realize that Ethan is Vigilante, and a traitor. Ethan says that he’s surprised that nobody ever thought of suspecting him, but then again, he’s just too great of a killer for that. He tells everybody about his motive of being in love with Abby and having been involved since season 2. Ethan then says that he tied up some loose ends before the final showdown.

He brings in Ali’s corpse and throws it in front of everyone. They are all horrified as they realize this is Ali. Scott again demands that Ethan tell him where Nancy and Veronica are, but Ethan says that he has an even better reveal to tell everyone, or the Master does. The Master says that he’s been around since “Day one” and he’s been waiting for this moment for his whole life. Valentina asks the Master what the fuck he is talking about. The Master says that he will show her. He takes off his mask. The Master is…

ANTON-EMILIA GARCIA, a supposed victim back in Honoring Part 1. Valentina does not recognize Anton, who is now fully transgendered into a female, but Kaylee and Scott remember from memorials that they attended for the previous Clearwood victims that this is the presumed dead Emilia, who yells “Surprise!” in Ghostface’s voice with her voice modulator. Kaylee says that Emilia is dead. Emilia says that is a very long story, and they should probably get to where this all began: at her birth, 17 years ago.

We open on a hospital bed 17 years ago, where Emilia’s parents are giving birth to a baby boy. We zoom in on Emilia’s mother on the bed, and she is revealed to be CHARLOTTE BENNETT, long before she was the mastermind killer of the Primal Fear trilogy. We also see the identity of the father: a younger JASON DILAURENTIS (Jyle Venedict), who holds the baby in his arms. In voice over, Emilia reveals that she was, in fact, the baby of two major serial killers. While Jason was busy working for Tarvender, Charlotte disappeared and was presumed dead.

Unknown to her and Jason, Charlotte was “murdered”, as revealed in the Primal Fear trilogy so long ago. Charlotte was having an affair with Austin’s father, Harry, when Ashley caught them. She went so berserk that she bashed in Charlotte’s head with a pipe. Charlotte, however, survived, and was buried in the backyard by Ashley to cover up the “murder” After digging her way out, Charlotte murdered a woman that looked like her, and her corpse was found instead of hers. She blackmailed the doctors into lying that it was her and gathered up several killers to help exact revenge on the Thomas family.

At the end of the second killing spree, Charlotte got in contact with Jason, who recognized that his wife was still alive and told her about taking their 7 year old baby, Anton, with them. Jason decided that after Charlotte would kill the Primal Fear survivors, she would join Tarvender. However, Charlotte was killed by Austin, Kaylee and the others. Jason then continued to raise Anton on his own, but didn’t get revenge for Charlotte’s death, as he also found out about her affair with Harry. After Anton was 17, he started to watch his father kill people, which was during Honoring Part 1. At this point, Jason took over Tarvender and started to call himself “Jyle Venedict”, as we all knew him.

Around this time, Anton decided to fake his death with help from Jyle (known at that time as the Executioner). Jyle threw a fake body and used it as a decoy, allowing Anton to go into hiding and fully transgender into his female identity, Emilia (as she liked being female very much). Eventually, Emilia was furious to learn that all of Tarvender, including Jyle, were killed by Erika and Bella. Nevertheless, Emilia also learnt the truth about her mother’s death, and reluctantly put aside her differences with Bella to kill the survivors.

Emilia convinced Bella to recruit Ethan as the Vigilante killer, and she continued to work behind the scenes until Bella’s death, at which point she went on a four year break. Finally, as a final revenge for the deaths of her parents, and to carry on her family’s murderous legacy, Emilia took up the Master’s identity and led one last killing spree with Ethan, Terry and Kai, leading into the events of today. As the flashback ends, Emilia admits that she personally did not like being a male.

So, she transgendered into Emilia, and was already in the process of doing so back in Part 1. Emilia says that her main target right now is Kaylee, for her part in killing Charlotte. In fact, she’s the only one left who participated back then. Kaylee tells Emilia that her parents were soulless psychopaths who got exactly what they deserved. Emilia says “So did my brother!” Everyone is confused for a moment, until Scott remembers Felix Jensen, who was Jyle’s son. Emilia realizes that she forgot to mention Felix.

She explains that she was raised with Felix, who did not have the same mother as him, during her time with Jyle. However, while she was overjoyed to kill, Felix didn’t want to have anything to do with it. After Jyle’s death, Emilia wanted to punish Felix for his incompetence. She tells them that the one kill she committed in the Honoring Part 2 was Felix, whom she decapitated with a machete. Bella took responsibility for that as part of their agreement that Emilia would be help them.

In fact, the opportunity to kill her brother was the only real reason why she didn’t kill Bella in Part 2. She also had Ethan kill Erika as a final revenge for her father’s death, which she watched. Emilia says that’s pretty much everything for leading up to today. She aims the gun at Valentina and asks if she wants to “go first” Just then, Scott takes a rock out of his pocket and throws it at Emilia, disorienting her momentarily. Kaylee and Valentina run in one direction, while Scott goes into another. Emilia tells Ethan to kill Scott, while she herself goes after Kaylee and Valentina. Ethan runs after Scott, whom he soon catches up to and tackles. The two begin to fist fight.

It’s brutal, and even matched. Although Scott is older than Ethan, he is very experienced and strong. Ethan eventually tackles Scott through a door and tries to put him in a headlock. As Scott struggles, he notices that Ethan tackled him into the room where Nancy and Veronica’s corpses are lying, and he sees that both of his daughters are dead. Ethan remarks that Veronica and Nancy “is my finest work yet, so much fun” This gives Scott the rage and energy he needs to throw Ethan off of him. Ethan then realizes that he may have pushed Scott too far.

He slams a chair against Scott, but this fails to stop Scott, who is filled with anger and rage. Scott slams Ethan’s head against a window three times, shattering it open, and shards gets lodged into his face. Ethan says that he is immortal, and nobody can kill him, before trying to stab Scott. In response, Scott simply says “You’re mine” and effortlessly disarms Ethan, before shoving his knife into Ethan’s abdomen. Ethan coughs up blood. It’s obvious that Scott is in a psychotic rage, similar to Travis in Fear the Walking Dead.

Scott then drags the knife upwards through his body, until he reaches his neck, where he stabs Ethan several more times. Ethan is already dead at this point, but Scott does not stop there. Scott proceeds to stomp on Ethan’s head several times, smashing his skull in. He finally stops as Ethan is an utter mess. Ethan Hawke, the Vigilante killer, and boyfriend of Mikaela Johnson, and Roxie Andrews, is dead. Scott says “You don’t look immortal to me” (That was for you, JMO), before collapsing next to Nancy and Veronica’s corpses. He crawls toward them and cradles the bodies of his daughters, sobbing “My babies”

Meanwhile, Emilia tracks down Kaylee and Valentina, who are hiding behind chairs and tables, holding her gun out. Emilia says that she isn’t dumb enough to take both of them on without a gun, and says that the two of them are as good as dead. As she searches, Emilia tells Kaylee and Valentina that she had some private time with Nancy and Veronica, and describes how she and Ethan tortured and mutilated them, which the sisters hear.

Emilia takes out some of Nancy’s intestines and puts them on the floor, which horrifies Kaylee and Valentina, who realize that Nancy and Veronica are really dead. Both are full of anger and rage at this, especially Kaylee, who is just about ready to lunge at Emilia, that is, if she wasn’t holding a gun. Emilia goes into the kitchen area of the building, where she finds Valentina underneath a table. She goes “Peek a Boo” before trying to shoot her. However, Kaylee jumps onto Emilia’s back and knocks the gun out of her hand.

They struggle, with Emilia inadvertently knocking over some spoons. Valentina is coming out of the table to help Kaylee when the latter gets an idea. She tells Valentina to go fetch the rope right next to her, and help her restrain Emilia. Kaylee and Valentina manage to force Emilia, who is screaming, clawing, kicking and doing whatever she can to resist, into the chair and tie her up. Kaylee and Valentina ask Emilia how it feels to be vulnerable, knowing that someone can end her life right now. Kaylee informs her that this is the same way her mother Charlotte died, tied to a chair and helpless to resist. Emilia curses Kaylee and Valentina, and says that she will get out of this, somehow.

After taking off their shoes, Valentina and Kaylee say that Emilia killed almost everyone they’ve loved, and now she’s going to pay the price, just like every other sick knife happy bitch did, but they will make it slow. Kaylee knees Emilia in the face, knocking the chair over. She jumps on Emilia and stomps her feet onto her chest and face. After Kaylee gets off, Valentina pulls the chair back up, and does two spin kicks on Emilia’s face. The sisters then pick up knives. They each stab Emilia in the stomach, and slice the right and left sides of her face. Emilia is bruised and bloody by the end of it, but their revenge isn't done yet.

Kaylee picks up a spoon and contemplates using it to gouge out Emilia’s eye. Before she can do so, however, Valentina brings Emilia’s face closer to her and says that this is for Luke, the only man that she ever loved. Valentina uses her long fingernails to claw into Emilia’s right eye, just like Kaylee had done to Chase Fitzgerald in the Primal Fear saga. She successfully manages to gouge out Emilia’s right eye, which Kaylee is proud of, remembering that she did the same thing. Kaylee then pulls Emilia toward her and tells her that this is for Nancy and Veronica, who were her step children.

She punches Emilia in the face seven times, breaking her nose. The two sisters then start brutally kicking Emilia in the face and all over her body at the same time, with rapid and swift kicks. They also land some punches. Eventually, Emilia is on the brink of death. Seeing this, Valentina and Kaylee pick up the knives again. Kaylee gets up close to Emilia and says “Buh Bye Satan” They start slashing, stabbing and hacking away at Emilia, until she is an utter mess, like Ethan is. Anton-Emilia Garcia/Venedict, the daughter of Jyle Venedict and Charlotte Bennett, and the Master killer, is dead.

Kaylee and Valentina look very satisfied that Emilia is dead, but then hear crying, which they realize is from Scott. They run over to Scott and find him mourning Nancy and Veronica. Kaylee and Valentina also see that he has killed Ethan. Seeing that their victory is bittersweet, Kaylee and Valentina kneel beside Scott and mourn Nancy and Veronica with him. Scott asks Kaylee to tell him that Emilia is dead, and that nothing like this will ever happen again. As they mourn, Kaylee assures him that everything is over. Fade to black.

### Chapter 17

We cut to ten years later. Scott, Kaylee and Valentina have moved out of Clearwood and are starting a new life in Manchester, where Valentina suggested, as it was nice there with her and Luke. Kaylee and Valentina made up a story that they did not tie up Emilia to a chair, as they could get charged with murder if the police knew Emilia was defenseless. They are sitting on the doorstep of their new house with Scott, and two children are playing their front yard. These are revealed to be Kaylee’s children, whom she gave birth to about six months after Emilia and Ethan’s deaths. The father is, of course, Scott.

In order to move on from Nancy and Veronica’s deaths, they have decided not to name the babies after them. Valentina named the male baby “Luke Lane” after Luke Ramsey, while Kaylee and Scott named the female baby Ivy Lane, after Kai’s sister, in order to honor him in death. Kaylee is overjoyed to finally have her own biological children to raise, after suffering a miscarriage, and her first baby was murdered, as well as Nancy and Veronica. Kaylee, Scott and Valentina talk about when to tell the children about all that they’ve been through. Kaylee says that her children's innocent world will be shattered by learning the details of their parents' brutal survivor paths that they had to take.

Scott and Valentina assure Kaylee that Luke and Ivy will always remain innocent, no matter what the parents have done. It’s how the parents raise their children, that will define their future, and so far, they have done a great job. Kaylee takes comfort in her words, and looks at the bright sunlight ahead of her. It’s clear now that there will be nothing else for them to worry about, no more life threatening killers, just peace for their time. Kaylee, Scott and Valentina hold hands and smile as they watch Luke and Ivy play. The First Scream is over. Thank you for reading.
