## Summary

Amanda is seen walking into school. She walks up to Stephanie's locker and confronts Stephanie who is putting books in her locker. She asks her why she called her the day before using a voice changer and telling her she's last on the hit list (referring to the call she received from the killer in Pilot). Stephanie is confused and tells her she didn't call her or use a voice changer. Stephanie also tells Amanda to stop accusing her when she has no evidence. Amanda briefly apologizes but tells Stephanie that she's keeping her eye on her. At that moment, Jennifer, Jessica, Kevin and Drew all arrive at Stephanie's locker. Drew asks what Amanda and Stephanie were talking about, as he's surprised to see them engaging in a conversation without arguing, to which Amanda replies saying "nothing important". As they all continue to talk with each other Amanda's phone starts ringing. She looks at it and sees that she's getting a call from an unknown number. She excused herself from the group conversation and walks a few steps away from her friends before answering. When she answers, the killer says "Hello, Amanda. Did you miss me?" Amanda asks what he wants to which the killer tells her that he kidnapped Michelle overnight and that if she and her friends ever wanted to see Michelle alive again she'd have to follow his instructions. Amanda seems reluctant at first but after the killer texts her a picture of Michelle tied to a chair with tape over her mouth she begins to co-operate. The killer tells her that she better do as he says or else Michelle will pay the price. She acknowledges this and the killer hangs up and texts Amanda an address prompting her to go to that location with the following words: "no cops or she dies". Amanda turns around and Jennifer asks her who she was on the phone with. Amanda tells her and the rest of her friends that it was the killer and that Michelle is in danger. Stephanie then tells Amanda that now she has proof that she isn't the killer as she was standing right behind her while she was on the phone. Amanda ignores her comment and shows everyone else the texts she got from the killer including the picture of Michelle and the address of the place where the killer told her to go. Drew tells her that the killer is probably keeping her there. Jessica tells Amanda to call the police but Amanda reminds her that the killer said no cops or Michelle dies. Kyle then shows up and asks everyone what's new. Stephanie tells him that Michelle was kidnapped by the killer which results in Amanda giving her a dirty look. Kyle notices and tells Amanda and everyone else that although he's a new student that they could all trust him. Amanda then decides to show him the texts she got from the killer and Kyle suggests they all go to the address the killer texted Amanda. They all agree to leave school and go immediately. On their way towards the exit they run into Paul who asks where they're going. Amanda tells him that Michelle was kidnapped and that they might know where the killer is keeping her. Paul decides to join them and they all leave.

When they all arrive at the address the killer texted Amanda to go to, they realize that it's an abandoned building. They all walk up to door (which is boarded up) and see a large hole in the side of the door. They all enter through the hole in the door. Once inside, Amanda tells everyone that they need to look for Michelle. Kyle suggests that they all split up which results in everyone disagreeing. Jessica, however, tells everyone that instead of being alone they can be in groups of two. Jennifer and Kevin volunteer to be a group. Paul says that he doesn't care who he goes with so Stephanie decides to go explore the building with him. Amanda decides to explore with Kyle and reveals that the reason why she wants to is because she doesn't fully trust him yet and that she wants to keep an eye on him. Kyle seems somewhat offended at first but then they both begin exploring, which leaves Jessica and Drew alone in the main entrance room. Kevin and Jennifer are seen walking around together in another room. Kevin begins searching around the room which results in Jennifer snapping at him stating that it's obvious Michelle isn't in that room. Kevin then begins to tell Jennifer that he thinks Amanda is a bad influence on her. Jennifer starts denying that her behavior has been affected by Amanda's presence and Kevin says Jennifer changed ever since she started hanging around Amanda. Jennifer says Amanda is one of her best friends and that she doesn't influence her and then changes the subject by saying they should just continue to look for Michelle. Amanda and Kyle are then seen walking down a dark hallway together. Kyle and Amanda are seen talking to each other. Amanda asks Kyle why he changed schools and Kyle said because he made a lot of enemies at his old school. When Amanda asks why, Kyle tells her that he wants to hear more about her. Amanda tells him to ask her anything and he asks why there's awkward tension between her and Paul. Amanda reveals that she and Paul used to date until a few months prior. She also reveals that she left Paul because they never spent enough time together. At the same time, they stumble across a desk in the hallway. Amanda and Kyle begin searching the desk for clues when Amanda opens one of the drawers and finds a picture of her mother, Caroline, with Jennifer's mother, Evelyn. The picture is of them standing in front of the building that Amanda and her friends are currently in. She notices in the bottom right corner of the Polaroid picture that someone wrote "1997" with a pen on it. Kyle glances over and asks why Amanda is staring at the picture. Amanda explains what the picture is of and tells him that she needs to show Jennifer. They both agree and set out to find Jennifer and Kevin. Meanwhile, Stephanie and Paul are seen walking on the second floor of the building. They begin talking about the killer and why they think he tried to lure Amanda to the building. Paul says that maybe the killer wanted Amanda to go alone while Stephanie comments on how she's not afraid of the killer. When Paul asks her why, Stephanie tells him that she's not afraid of many things. Meanwhile, Amanda and Kyle continue to search for Michelle downstairs. They stumble across two rooms, one on the left side of the hallway and one on the right side. Amanda begins searching the left room while Kyle searches the right room. Amanda then gets a text from the killer saying "time is running out" which leads Amanda to send everyone a text telling them to meet her in the main entrance room immediately.

Everyone regroups at the main entrance when Amanda shows them all the text message she got from the killer. She tells them that in order to be quicker they need to split up and be alone this time. At first, nobody seems to be on board with the plan but Amanda tells everyone that they will find Michelle twice as fast if they all go on their own and that if anything should go wrong to just scream for help. They all split up and begin exploring the building by themselves. As Amanda is seen exploring the empty hallways her phone rings. She sees that her mother, Caroline, is calling her. She answers and Caroline asks her where she is. Amanda asks her why she asked her where she was and Caroline tells her that she went to her school to pick her up early because Sheriff Dylan wanted to ask her questions about the phone call Amanda received from the killer the previous day after Becky had been murdered. Amanda tells her that she's doing something important and can't talk. Caroline gets mad at Amanda and demands her to tell her where she is but Amanda hangs up and continues to search the abandoned building. Meanwhile, Caroline is seen walking into the police station. She begins banging on Sheriff Dylan's office door until he opens. Caroline walks right past him and tells him to close the door behind him. Once he does, Caroline tells him that Amanda left school on her own and that she won't tell her where she is. She demands that Sheriff Dylan helps her find out where she is when Detective Lorraine comes in and tells him that they received an anonymous tip that teenagers were sneaking into an abandoned building in the suburbs of town. Caroline begins to think that maybe Amanda and her friends are in the abandoned building and demands Sheriff Dylan takes her with him. He agrees and tells Detective Lorraine to get Detective Cox and follow him in their police cars to the abandoned building. Meanwhile, at the abandoned building, Amanda is seen walking alone in a hallway when she gets a call from an unknown number. She answers the phone and the killer tells her to hurry up or else Michelle will die. Amanda tells him to not hurt Michelle but he hangs up. Seconds later, Amanda hears a scream coming from above her. She runs up to the third floor and starts searching through all the rooms. Michelle is in none of them. She then notices in the room she's in that there's a hidden door. She pushes the door but it won't open. However, after a few tries she finally manages to get the door open. She sees Michelle tied to a chair and walks up to the chair and unties her. Amanda asks Michelle if she's ok and Michelle says the killer was just in the room and that they need to leave immediately before he comes back. They both run out of the room and Amanda tells her that she brought Jennifer, Jessica, Kevin, Drew, Stephanie, Kyle and Paul with her. Seconds later, Amanda's phone rings. Amanda answers and it's the killer again. She puts him on speaker so Michelle can hear him and he tells her that he has one last surprise for her. He tells Amanda that she needs to play a game if she wants to leave with all of her friends alive. Amanda agrees to play and the killer asks her the following question: "Which room am I in?" In a panic, Amanda responds saying "I don't know" which results in the killer saying her answer was wrong. Amanda begs him to give her another chance but he hangs up and Amanda and Michelle hear a loud scream coming from the first floor.

Caroline and Sheriff Dylan arrive at the abandoned building with Detective Lorraine and Detective Cox behind them. Caroline looks at the building and appears to recognize it. Meanwhile, Amanda and Michelle get to the first floor and find Kevin lying on the floor with a knife in his stomach. They both scream in horror and run up to him and try to search for his pulse. Meanwhile, Jennifer, Jessica and Drew all show up at the same time and see what happened. They scream and Jennifer runs up to Kevin and starts panicking and begging someone to call an ambulance. Sheriff Dylan, Detective Lorraine and Detective Cox all break the door down and tell everyone to put their hands up. At the same time, Stephanie, Kyle and Paul all show up coming from different doors leading to the main entrance. Sheriff Dylan calls for an ambulance after seeing Kevin. Amanda sees Caroline standing at the door with a look of anger on her face. Sheriff Dylan pronounces Kevin dead after being unable to find his pulse and Jennifer breaks down in tears. Later that night at Amanda's house, Caroline is seen in the kitchen with Amanda getting mad at her for going to the abandoned building instead of calling the police. Amanda says the killer told her no cops or Michelle would die to which Caroline responds telling her that Kevin is dead and that someone still lost their life. Amanda then pulls the picture of Caroline and Evelyn standing in front of the abandoned building out of her pocket. Caroline asks Amanda where she got it from and Amanda tells her that she found it in the building. Caroline grabs the picture out of Amanda's hands and tells her it was taken in the year 1997 and that her and Evelyn have been friends for a long time and that they were simply exploring the building and a friend had taken that picture of them. Amanda asks her for the picture back but Caroline tells her to go to her room or else she would ground her. Amanda goes upstairs to her room with a suspicious look on her face. Moments later, Caroline calls Evelyn on her phone and tells her that Amanda found a picture of them from 1997 standing in front of the building. Evelyn tells her to burn the picture. Meanwhile, Kyle is seen in his room that night. He opens one of his drawers and pulls out a picture of Amanda with a red X drawn on it.
