## Episodes

### New Terrors

We open up to five teenage girls, Cassie, Kelsey, Brianna, Shelia and Velma, who are having a sleepover at Cassie's house. Cassie's parents are away for the night. They're all in Cassie's bedroom and are playing truth or dare.

When it's Velma's turn, she dares Kelsey to kiss her, and she does. Cassie jokingly tells the two lovers to get a room. Velma and Kelsey take her seriously and walk out of the room and into Cassie's parent's bedroom. Shelia joking calls them whores, laughing while she says it.

We switch to Velma and Kelsey in Cassie's parent's bedroom. They're laying on the bed while they kiss and undress one another. Suddenly, Velma hears a crashing noise coming from the closet. They stop kissing and walk over to the closet. Kelsey shouts that if it's one of the others playing a "coming out of the closet" prank, she'll bash their heads in. Velma laughs as she slides open the closet doors.

Inside the closet, they find absolutely nothing but a mirror facing back at them. Suddenly, Velma spots somebody standing behind her in the reflection of the mirror. She jerks around to see who it is.

Suddenly, SLASH! A knife slices through Velma's throat from ear to ear. Velma is dead. Kelsey begins screaming at the sight of this killer. She kicks the killer in the stomach, which angers them. They grab Kelsey by the hair and call her a "stupid slut". The killer's voice is modulated.

The killer holds Kelsey's mouth with her left hand and slices through her stomach with the right. The killer throws Kelsey to the floor and finishes her off by stabbing her in the head. Kelsey is dead. We then see the killer's costume, it's a Gas Mask and Nun's Robe, meaning that this killer is Gas Mask.

We cut back to Brianna, Shelia and Cassie. Brianna reveals that she needs to use the restroom, which Cassie tells her is the door on the right.

Brianna walks to the bathroom. She becomes confused when she find the bath filled with water. Suddenly, the killer jumps out from their hiding place; behind the shower curtains. However, this is not Gas Mask, but somebody else, wearing a Horse Face mask, with Nun's Robe, meaning that this is Horse Face. Brianna laughs and asks if they're Kelsey or Velma playing a prank on her.

Horse Face shakes his head and runs over to Brianna. He grabs her and starts violently bashing her head into the wall repeatedly and dragging her over to the bathtub. Horse Face forces Brianna's head into the water and holds her in place. Brianna slowly drowns to her death.

We cut back to Cassie and Shelia. They're both eating popcorn and talking about boys. Cassie reveals that she and her boyfriend, Daniel Matthews, have been going through some rough patches recently.

Just then, their conversation is interrupted by the 'ding' of Cassie's phone. She checks her phone and see's that she has a message from Kelsey, asking her and Sheila to come to her parent's bedroom.

Cassie rolls her eyes and stands up, Shelia also stands. They leave the room and enter Cassie's parent's bedroom. They find Kelsey's, Velma's and Brianna's corpses on the bed. Cassie and Sheila scream as they both turn around to flee.

However, as they're about to leave, they're greeted by Horse Face. He swings his fist down at Shelia's throat, causing blood to gush out everywhere; It's revealed that he had a large shard of glass in his hand.

Cassie screams at the sight of her friend dying. She kicks Horse Face in the groin and runs down the staircase. She darts to the front door, before turning her head and seeing both Horse Face and Gas Mask chasing her.

She opens the door and darts out of it, only to run straight into a knife. Cassie looks at the person holding the knife and sees that their mask is made of human flesh, meaning that this is Bloody Face. Cassie tries to scream but is knocked unconscious by Horse Face before she can. The three killers talk amongst each other and Bloody Face tells them that he's going to have some fun with Cassie. Smash to black.

We reopen later in the night. Cassie is restrained to a table. She sees Bloody Face watching her from the other side of the room. Cassie screams for him to let her go. Bloody Face begins laughing and calls her a "stupid slut". Cassie begs to know what the killer wants from her.

Bloody Face approaches Cassie and tells her that he wants her to see the pain she caused for Tristian Knight. Cassie tells the killer that Tristian is the one who caused her pain and he deserved what happened to him. Bloody Face tells Cassie that they both know that isn't true, and he wants her to admit it.

Instead of admitting to anything, Cassie tries to bribe Bloody Face to let her go by offering him money, sex, popularity, devotion. The killer stands at the side of Cassie and angrily calls her a 'bitch', and telling her that he wants her to admit to her lies for the recording, and maybe, just maybe, she'd be spared.

Cassie asks for Bloody Face to come closer to her, so he does. He asks if she's ready to confess. Cassie spits at Bloody Face and calls him trash. This angers the killer. He demands Cassie, to tell the truth, threatening to dismember her hand if she doesn't. Cassie doesn't believe that he'd actually do it, until he pulls out a scalpel and begins cutting through Cassie's wrist, causing her to call out with a blood-curdling scream.

Not wanting to feel the pain anymore, Cassie finally admits to lying about Tristian. Bloody Face asks Cassie to be more specific on what she lied about Tristian doing. Cassie cries out that she lied about Tristian raping her, and asks if he's happy now.

Bloody Face, satisfied with his work, stops the recording and tells Cassie that now it's time for her to pay with her life for being one of the many reasons why Tristian is no longer alive. Cassie screams that she did what he wanted her to and how he promised to let her live if she confessed.

The killer reminds Cassie that he said 'maybe, just maybe' to letting her life. He lifts up his scalpel and asks Cassie if she has any last words. Cassie says that she has, and they are "go to hell, bastard". Bloody Face tells Cassie that he'll see her there, before inserting the scalpel into the bottom of Cassie's leg and slicing all the way up.

Hair-raising, spine-chilling, frightening and horrendous screams are heard as Bloody Face slices through Cassie's skin. He tells her that she's getting what she deserves. He continues to drag his scalpel all the way up through Cassie's skin.

We cut to after Bloody Face has finished with Cassie. We see that all of her skin is gone, obviously meaning that Cassie is dead. Bloody Face picks up a machete and begins hacking at what's left of Cassie's corpse.
We cut to Waldenwood High School, during last period in Miss Whitney Langdon's psychology class, where we're introduced to Cheryl Fitzgerald, Valerie Valentine, Melody Sanders, Taylor Montgomery, Chase Fitzgerald and Hayden King, who is Valerie's boyfriend.

Miss Langdon tells her class that today they're going to be talking about something different; suicide prevention, due to it being one year since Tristian Knight, a former student, committed suicide.

Miss Langdon asks her class what they do if they suspect a person of being suicidal. Melody puts her hand up and answers the question. Melody explains to the class that if they suspect a person of being suicidal, you shouldn't just straight up ask if they are, as there could be a possibility of you being wrong. Instead, you should make the person know they have a friend, and be there for them and help, because if you're right, you might potentially save a person's life. Miss Langdon tells Melody that she is right.

When Miss Langdon has finished talking, Cheryl asks Valerie if she's still up for coming around later. Valerie says that she is.

We cut to later in the day, after school. Cheryl and Valerie are sitting in Cheryl's bedroom. They've just finished watching 'Hostel II', which Valerie thinks is better than the first film. Cheryl agrees with this, stating that they really stepped up the brutality for this film. Cheryl asks if Valerie wants to start watching 'Hostel III', but Valerie declines, stating that she has to be home for dinner. As Valerie is about to leave, her phone buzzes.

Valerie sees that she has a text message from her mother, telling her about the murders of Cassie, Velma, Shelia, Brianna and Kelsey, and asking her to come home immediately. Cheryl and Valerie are both shocked about the murders. They ask each other if Waldenwood could be about to see a third killing spree.

Cheryl wonders if the killings could have something to do with Tristian's suicide, with it being the one year anniversary. Valerie says that Cheryl might be right. Valerie leaves and gets into her car, which is parked outside Cheryl's house.

When in the car, Valerie looks up at the mirror and sees a dark figure sitting in the black seat. She turns her head and finds nobody there. Just then, she hears a knock at the window; it's her boyfriend, Hayden. Valerie winds down her window and greets her boyfriend. Hayden asks Valerie if she has heard about the murders yet. She confirms that she has, and like Cheryl, is theorising that it could have something to do with Tristian's suicide. Hayden asks Valerie why she thinks this.

Valerie mentions how it was Cassie and her friends who were killed, and they were the people who tortured Tristian, plus today is the anniversary of his death. Hayden tells Valerie that she's probably right. Valerie asks if Hayden wants a ride home, but Hayden insists that he's fine to walk. They kiss. Valerie starts her car and drives away. Hayden watches Valerie's car as it moves further away from him. Smash to black.

We cut to the next day at around 12 pm. Everybody is off school due to it being a Saturday. Miss Langdon is in her office marking papers. She begins hearing loud banging coming from the corridor. She goes out into the halls to see what the noise it, but finds nothing. She sighs to herself and returns to her office and sits back at her desk. On her desk, she finds a note that wasn't here before. She recognises the handwriting and is instantly shocked by it.

Miss Langdon's eyes fill with guilt as she reads the paper. We cut to her point of view and see that the paper is titled 'Miss Langdon'.

We cut to a flashback. We see Miss Langdon and Tristian, sitting in the former's office. Austin asks for the teacher's help, revealing that he needs somebody to listen. Miss Langdon asks Tristian if he can find somebody else to talk to, possibly a friend, as she could be spending her time on other important things, not somebody who wants the attention. Tristian is obviously hurt by this. He stands up and walks out of Miss Langdon's office. She tries to call him back, shouting that she didn't mean it like that, but Tristian ignores her and continues walking off. The flashback ends.

At this point, Miss Langdon is crying. She is completely apologetic for what she has caused, and what she could have prevented. She looks up at the sky and sobs that she wishes she could've helped. Miss Langdon sobs that she was just angry over having an argument with her husband over the phone, moments before their conversation. She sobs that she wishes she could go back in time and listen to him and maybe be able to get him to change his mind.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice tells Miss Langdon that it's too late for tears and apologies. Miss Langdon turns around and sees Gas Mask standing there. She walks over to him and asks who he is. The teacher is unaware of the killings and that he's a killer. Suddenly, Gas Mask throws a pot of acid into Miss Langdon's face, causing her eyes to burn.

Miss Langdon screams as she sinks to the floor from the pain. She holds onto her face as she howls in pain. Gas Mask laughs at her and calls her pathetic. He picks Miss Langdon up over his shoulder and throws her over a table. Miss Langdon cries that she's sorry for what she did.

Gas Mask tells Miss Langdon that sorry won't cut it. He grabs her head and repeatedly bashes it against the table, causing her to scream and bawl in pain. Gas Mask picks Miss Langdon up again and walks over to the window. He opens it and throws her out. Miss Langdon lands on the concrete, cracking her head open. She dies from the impact. Smash to black.

We cut back to Cheryl, who is sitting alone in her bedroom watching a film. Suddenly, Sharon enters the room. Sharon hands Cheryl a package and tells her that it was found on the doorstep and is addressed to her. Cheryl takes the package from Sharon and then Sharon leaves.

Cheryl unwraps the package and finds a diary inside. She recognises the writing as Tristian's. She starts to read what it says, and as she does, we cut to her point of view and see that the page is titled 'Cassie Banks'

We cut to a flashback. We see Tristian in school with his friends. Cassie and Kelsey walk up to him and ask him if he wants to come for a walk today. Tristian says that he'd love too.

We cut to after school. Tristian and Cassie are on their way to Kelsey's house. At Kelsey's house, she tells her friends that she has a family thing on today, so she cannot go with them. Tristian looks at Cassie and asks if she wants to do something else, but Cassie refuses, stating that they shouldn't just cancel their plans.

We cut to around twenty minutes later, Tristian and Cassie are jogging through the forest. Tristian tells Cassie that the scenery is beautiful here and that she chose the best place to go.

They go near the river and have a sit-down. Tristian takes out his phone and takes a picture of the river. He smiles and tells Cassie that the photo he's just taken is going on his Instagram. Cassie smiles at him and tells Tristian that she loves to see him happy.

Cassie stands up and walks up to Tristian. She wraps her arms around him and admits that she wants to make him even happier. Tristian giggles and asks Cassie if she knows that he's gay. Cassie looks annoyed, but Tristian doesn't notice.

Tristian says that the should start jogging again, so they do. Half way through the forest, Tristian's phone starts ringing. He stops and answers it; it's Steven, his father. Steven asks him to come home because dinner is ready. The call ends. Tristian and Cassie start jogging out of the forest.

We cut to three weeks later. Tristian is laying in bed. Suddenly, Steven walks in. He is on the phone. He looks at his son with a furious look on his face. Steven ends the call and looks at Tristian with utter disappointment. Tristian pleads with his father to tell him what's wrong. Steven shouts at Tristian that he's going to be interviewed by the police for the rape of Cassie Banks. Tristian is distraught and confused at what his father has just said. The flashback ends.

As she finishes reading, Cheryl realises that she is crying. She begins to ask herself who sent her this, and why did nobody see that he was innocent.

Just then, Cheryl's phone begins ringing. She answers and hears a familiar voice; it's Valerie. Valerie asks if Cheryl has heard about Miss Langdon. Cheryl says that she hasn't and asks what has happened. Valerie reveals the news about Miss Langdon's death. Cheryl is shocked and speechless.

After a few seconds of silence, Cheryl manages to speak. She asks if Valerie has received any strange packages. Valerie reveals that she hasn't. Cheryl tells her about the diary that she got.

Valerie is disturbed that somebody had sent it to Cheryl. She asks if it was basically a confirmation to Tristian's suicide being the reason as to why Cassie was killed. Suddenly, the call drops.

Cheryl instantly receives another call and answers, assuming that it's Valerie. She hears an unfamiliar voice talking to her, but we recognise it; it's the killer's modulated voice from the first two seasons.

The caller asks Cheryl if she got his gift. Cheryl asks "who this is". The caller tells Cheryl to never ask "who's there" or "who's this" as it normally leads to death, especially in horror movies. Cheryl tells the caller that this is not a horror movie and demands to know who's calling. The caller reveals that they are Cassie's killer, meaning this is Bloody Face.

Cheryl asks why he's calling and if he's going to make her the next victim. Bloody Face assures her that she won't be the next victim or any victim for that matter. Cheryl asks why that is. Bloody Face confesses that Cheryl, Valerie and Taylor are not being targeted, due to how their friendships with Tristian.

A curious Cheryl asks why Bloody Face killed Cassie and her friends. Bloody Face tells Cheryl that the diary should explain why and asks if she's read it yet. Cheryl confirms that she has. Bloody Face tells Cheryl that if she has read the diary, then she already knows the answer as to why Cassie was murdered.

Bloody Face tells Cheryl that he and his partners are going to tear down Waldenwood for what it has done to Tristian, leaving only the good people alive. Cheryl is about to ask why he killed Miss Langdon, but the call is dropped. Suddenly, she hears a knock at the window. She looks up and sees Bloody Face waving his knife at her. Smash to black.

### Familiar Faces

We open to an hour after Cheryl received her first call from the Bloody Face. Valerie has come to see the diary that was sent to her by the killer. She is shocked that the killer had this and questions herself about why the killer would send this to Cheryl.

Valerie mentions the nine other pages that were torn out, and wonders if there could be more notes like this. Both girls wonder if this is the reason why Tristian didn't leave a note, because he had written a list of the reasons why he did what he did.

Cheryl reveals that she got a call from Bloody Face, who basically said that he and his partners will be terrorising those who terrorised Tristian. Valerie realises that Cheryl said, "and his partners". She confesses to Cheryl that she is terrified of dying, especially after what happened before, and how much it destroyed her parents.

Cheryl reveals that Bloody Face said that the two of them are not going to be targeted or killed, and the same goes for Taylor, who dated Tristian. Despite being relieved that she'll survive, Valerie is also disturbed that there is, what she calls a "full-blown psychotic murder spree" about to start occurring. Cheryl tells her friend that they need to meet with Taylor and tell him the news and suggests that they go to Monroe's Cafe, where they used to go with Tristian.

We cut to around twenty minutes later at a familiar place; Monroe's Cafe, which was featured in season 2. Cheryl, Valerie and Taylor sit at the corner table. The barista, Roxie Andrews spots them and approaches them to take their order, despite the fact that they are meant to order at the till.

The trio orders their drinks. Cheryl orders a latte with cream, whereas Valerie and Taylor both order regular coffees. They ask Roxie how much it will be, she responds with the question if they were friends of Tristian's, as she recognises them. They confirm that they were. Roxie insists that the drinks are on her. The three teenagers thank her.

As Roxie walks away, she realises that her sleeve is up, revealing her fresh cuts. She quickly pulls it back down before anybody sees. We switch back to Cheryl, Valerie and Taylor, where they are talking about Tristian. Cheryl and Valerie have just revealed the news, leaving Taylor shocked. Although he's glad that somebody is finally taking a stand for Tristian, he doesn't want people murdered.

Suddenly, Roxie comes back over with their orders and places them on the table. Before Roxie leaves, Cheryl asks her if she was friends with Tristian. Roxie confirms that he was and although they only knew each other for a short while, Tristian helped her through some of her darkest times. Taylor asks if she knows anything about a list that he could written before he died. Roxie looks suspicious, which the others fail to pick up on. She insists that she knows nothing of the kind. She walks away.

When Roxie is at the cash register, she looks down at her phone and smiles. We switch back to the three teenagers. Suddenly, all three of them receive a text from the killer. The text tells them that just because they're not targets, doesn't mean they won't leave without a scratch, as he and his partners have big plans for the trio. The teenagers look at each other. Smash to black.

We cut to later in the day. Valerie and Hayden are curled up on the couch at Valerie's house. they've just finished watching the original Scream movie. Out of nowhere, Valerie tells Hayden about the killer. Hayden points out that after watching Scream, she should suspect everybody, especially him, due to the final girl's boyfriend being one of the killers. Valerie looks at her boyfriend with a surprised look and asks if that was just a reveal. Hayden laughs and says he was joking.

Hayden looks at Valerie and smiles. He confesses that he's missed spending time with her. They cuddle. Hayden admits that he feels like everything changed when "it" happened.

After hearing this, Valerie jumps from the couch and begins screaming at Hayden to get out her house. Hayden is clueless as to what has just happened and asks what he has done to make her so upset. Valerie screams that he referred to her brother as an "it". Hayden realises what he has done and apologises, before leaving like Valerie requested. Valerie locks the door behind Hayden and goes to her room to cry.

We cut to the Fitzgerald family. They're getting ready to go out for a meal. Sharon leaves the house to start the car. Chase and Cheryl have just finished getting changed. They walk into the kitchen and find Gerald on the phone to somebody. He quickly ends the call and they all leave and head to the car.

When the family are in the car. Gerald remembers that he has left his phone inside. He says he will be right back.

Inside the house, Gerald picks up his phone and quickly calls the person who he was on the phone with before being interrupted. He tells the person that they're on for nine o'clock. The female voice replies with "great, see you there".

Gerald puts his phone into his pocket and heads for the front door, but Horse Face jumps out and throws him at a wall. Gerald hits the floor and is knocked unconscious. Horse Face takes Gerald's phone and texts Sharon, explaining to go without him as he has just received a call from his job and they need him to go in immediately. Smash to black.

We cut to around an hour later, Sharon, Cheryl and Chase have just arrived back home. Sharon tells her children that she wishes Gerald could have come with them. Suddenly, both Chase and Cheryl receive a text at the same time. They look at their phones and find a text from Valerie in a group chat with Taylor, Hayden and Melody. The text asks if they can all meet up at the park.

Just before Chase and Cheryl set off, Sharon hands Cheryl a letter that was just posted through the door. Cheryl opens it and finds a page from the diary that was torn out. We recognise it as the paper that Miss Langdon read in episode 2.

We cut to around half an hour later at the park. Valerie is waiting with four adults, an elderly woman and a young child. After a few moments, everybody else arrives in their cars. After everybody meets, Chase asks Valerie who her friends are. Valerie introduces them as the original Waldenwood survivors; Austin Thomas, Oliver Anderson, Max Roberts, Kaylee Roberts, Sasha Roberts, and a new addition to the clan; Veronica Anderson, who is Austin and Oliver's daughter. Smash to black.

### Search Party

We resume where the last episode left off. Austin and the other survivors of the original killing spree reveal why they're back in Waldenwood; they heard about the killings starting up again and wanted to come back and help them survive.

Taylor tells them that it's great they've come to help, but was it the best idea bringing a child to a murder spree. Oliver and Austin reveal that Veronica won't be staying for long, as she'll be going to stay with a friend of theirs soon.

Chase admits that he's researched about the survivors, and asks where Nicole Smith is. Austin reveals that she was adamant about coming, just like how Oliver was originally, but unlike Oliver, she wouldn't change her mind.

Cheryl's and Chase's phones buzz, which worries everybody as they think it's one of the killers, but it isn't; it's Sharon, who is just informing her children that the school emailed her, explaining that despite the murders, school will resume.

Austin and his friends tell the others that they have to leave so they can go unpack their suitcases at the apartment they're renting in Waldenwood. He suggests that Cheryl, Valerie and the others come round tomorrow after school so they can talk more then. Smash to black.

We open to next morning, before the first period. Cheryl, Valerie, Chase, Melody, Taylor and Hayden are by their lockers. Taylor admits that he doesn't trust the survivors, explaining his reasons as a gut feeling.

Cheryl confesses that she thinks Taylor is right, but she's willing to give it a shot, due to the fact that they might actually help everybody else survive. Chase asks what Cheryl means by "everybody else", which leads Cheryl to reveal that she was called by Bloody Face, who confirmed that those who made Tristian end his own life are the targets of the killers, and that Bloody Face confirmed that Cheryl, Valerie and Taylor are not targets.

Chase is about to tell his friends and sister something, but the bell for the first period rings. Everybody has the same class, so they walk in the same direction. Suddenly, they're approached by another group of students. These students are Ginger Adamson, Hanna Bradford, Daniel Matthews, Kyron Parker and Adam Johnson.

Ginger and Chase kiss and greet each other. Ginger asks if they're still up for later. Chase says they are. Daniel smiles at Cheryl and says hello, but Cheryl ignores him and turns away, only to find Adam in front of her.

Adam asks his ex-girlfriend how she's been. Cheryl admits that she's been better. Adam suggests that maybe they go out sometime, and maybe try their relationship again. Cheryl asks if he really means it. Adam admits that he does. Cheryl smiles and replies with "no".

All of Adam's friend look at him and laugh that he was rejected. His face turns red and he walks away quickly, muttering under his breath that Cheryl will soon change her mind.

Moments after Adam had left, everybody else finds themselves heading to the first period. Cheryl, Valerie and Taylor are all annoyed that Daniel is with them. They walk away from the others and head into their English class. The teacher, Mrs Oria Callahan, tells them that they're late, but she'll let it slide, just this once.

When Cheryl sits in her chair, she recognises the person sitting next to her; it's Roxie. She says hello, and says that she didn't know Roxie was a student here. Roxie admits that she's only just moved to this school.

Suddenly, Cheryl receives a text from one of the killers, revealing that Roxie is also not a target. Cheryl looks in Roxie's direction and asks herself why she's never heard Tristian talk about Roxie before.

Cheryl receives another text, but this time it's from Sharon. On the text, Sharon asks Cheryl if she's heard from Gerald today, as she's getting worried as he didn't come home from work last night. Just as Cheryl starts typing back, Mrs Callahan calls Cheryl's name and asks if she can put her phone away. Cheryl asks if she could just quickly step outside and call her mother. Mrs Callahan says that Cheryl has two minutes.

Chase questions himself on is wrong with his sister. Outside the classroom, Cheryl calls her father's phone but gets no answer. She tries to call him three more times but still no answer. She then calls Sharon and tells her that she's just tried to call him four times but got nothing.

Sharon reveals that she called his workplace and they don't have any record of him working last night. This makes Cheryl wonder where her father is. Suddenly, she receives a text from Bloody Face, which says "Your father has been a very naughty boy, and he will pay with his life".

Cheryl is distraught upon realising that her father may have been murdered. She starts to cry.Mrs Callahan comes outside and sees that Cheryl is crying. She asks what's wrong. Cheryl sobs that she needs Chase. Smash to black.

We cut to an hour later, everybody went home from school and is out searching for Gerald. We switch through Chase, Cheryl, Sharon, Valerie, Roxie, Melody and Taylor while they all search for Gerald.

We cut to a mysterious building, abandoned and overgrown. The place is trashed and very similar to the abandoned school from season 1 and 2. We see that Bloody Face is here. He looks at Gerald, who he has chained to some rusty pipes. Gerald is either unconscious or asleep.

Bloody Face impatiently waits for Gerald to wake up, and eventually results to slapping him across the face a few times, causing Gerald to wake up. Gerald looks around and asks where he is. Bloody Face tells Gerald that he's in his own personal hell.

Gerald asks who Bloody Face is. Bloody Face walks over to Gerald and kicks him in the stomach, before telling Gerald that he isn't worthy of knowing Bloody Face's identity. Gerald asks if there is a reason why he's being kept hostage. Bloody Face says there is, before leaving the room.

He returns a few minutes later with a sack over his shoulder. Bloody Face asks Gerald if he recognises this woman, before emptying the sack onto Gerald, revealing the corpse of a woman who Gerald has been having an affair with. Gerald is terrified.

Bloody Face tells Gerald that "this is going to hurt a bit", before picking up a fire poker and repeatedly bashing Gerald with it. As Gerald is bashed with the fire poker, he tried to ignore the pain and reaches for Bloody Face's mask. He pulls it off and sees the killer's face. He is shocked at who it is. He is about to say Bloody Face's name, but his head is bashed to a bloody pulp before he can. Gerald Fitzgerald is dead.

Suddenly, Bloody Face pulls out his phone and texts Sharon the address, before telling her that he's left her a surprise. We cut to around half an hour later, Sharon has just arrived at the mysterious building with Chase and Cheryl. Chase suggests they split up while they search the building, but Cheryl refuses, stating that if the killer is here, it'll make it easier for him to kill them. Sharon tells her children that she recognises this building, but can't remember how. They decide to walk inside. Upon arriving inside, Sharon, Chase and Cheryl find a horrid sight; Gerald dangling from the balcony by his intestines. Smash to black.

### Suspicious

We open up to the mysterious building around twenty minutes after the discovery of Gerald's corpse. Cheryl, Chase and Sharon are in mourning over their loss.

Suddenly, the sheriff comes out of the building and approaches the family, revealing that there was a second corpse found inside. He also reveals that they have reason to believe there was a relationship going on between the pair. They found this out due to seeing the messages on Gerald's phone.

At the sound of this, Sharon falls to her knees. She is screaming and crying, over the death and betrayal of her husband. Cheryl and Chase, who are also mourning their father, comfort their mother.

Just then, Valerie, Hayden, Taylor, Melody, and even Adam come running up, all from different directions. They see Cheryl, Chase and their mother in mourning, causing them to realise what has just happened. Valerie runs over to her friend and comforts her.

We cut to one week after Gerald's tragic murder. Cheryl and her family are still in mourning over the loss of a loved one, but Cheryl and Chase are keen to return to school, due to everybody going back today. Sharon, who is still struggling with her husband's death, warns her children to stay safe. Cheryl and Chase promise to stay safe, before leaving for school.

We fast-forward to Cheryl and Chase arriving at school. The twins walk through the front doors and find everybody staring at them, which makes Cheryl feel tense.

They walk through the corridor and approach their friends, Valerie, Taylor, Melody, Hayden, and the new addition to their friendship group; Roxie. All of Cheryl and Chase's friends are shocked to see the siblings back in school so soon.

Valerie tells the twins that she doesn't know what it's like to lose a father, but she's been through something similar and knows what they must be going through. She offers her support to her friends. Cheryl and Chase thank Valerie.

Suddenly, Chase sees his bitchy girlfriend, Ginger, who is hanging out with her minion, Hanna. Chase tells his friends that he'll see them soon, before leaving to hang out with his girlfriend. Cheryl watches her brother and sees him kiss Ginger.

Mrs Callahan appears out of nowhere and asks if Cheryl and her friends if any of them have seen Daniel Matthews anywhere, as he didn't turn up for his tutoring session this morning. They admit that they haven't. Mrs Callahan looks at them with a worried look and walks off. The bell rings for first period.

We cut to the abandoned school, where Daniel is bound to a chair. He is shouting and demanding to be let go.

Just then, Gas Mask appears in the room, causing Daniel to become hysterical. He sobs for the killer to let him go. Gas Mask calls Daniel a "fucking idiot", before refusing to let him go, stating that Daniel has to pay for his sins.

Daniel begs to know what sins he has committed and promises to help with the killings if Gas Mask lets him live. Gas Mask calls him pathetic, before revealing that the sin he committed against Tristian Knight is the reason why he is in this situation.

Upon hearing Tristian's name, he stops crying and turns hostile. Daniel insults Tristian, calling him a "rapist who just wanted attention".

Gas Mask warns Daniel to shut his mouth, but Daniel ignores the warnings and continues to insult Tristian. This annoys Gas Mask, who picks up a nearby sickle and walks over to Daniel.

Due to being angry, Daniel carries on insulting Tristian, before saying that Tristian got what he deserved; death, for what he put him and Cassie through. Gas Mask grabs Daniel by the face and tells him that they both know that isn't true.

Gas Mask tells Daniel that he knows that Daniel raped Tristian, and despite all the lies Daniel tells, he knows that he did it too.

Daniel tells Gas Mask to "fuck off" and threatens to kill him. Gas Mask is tired of Daniel's voice. He begins to loosen Daniel's belt, causing Daniel to panic. Daniel shouts and pleads for the killer to get off him. Gas Mask tells Daniel that he won't get off until Daniel's punishment is fulfilled.

Daniel is hysterical, believing that he is about to be raped or something. In order for Gas Mask to stop, he decides to confess that he did in fact hurt and lie about Tristian. Gas Mask asks Daniel to elaborate on what he means by 'hurt'. Daniel confesses that he raped Tristian.

This confession makes Gas Mask happy. He pulls out a recorder and shows it to Daniel, revealing that his confession was taped. Daniel begs for Gas Mask not to rape him, now that he's confessed.

Gas Mask starts laughing. He reveals that raping Daniel was never the intention, but 'this' was. At this, Daniel screams hysterically. It's revealed that Gas Mask has just castrated Daniel with the sickle. The sound of Daniel's pain pleasures Gas Mask.

Eventually, Gas Mask pushes Daniel, causing him to fall backwards on the chair. Gas Mask then stamps on Daniel's head until he's unconscious. Smash to black.

We cut back to school, before fifth period. Chase, Ginger, Hanna and Kyron, who is Hanna's attractive boyfriend. They're walking out the school gates before the school day is over; they're skipping school.

Suddenly, Mrs Callahan runs after them and asks for them to return to their lessons, as she doesn't want to have to call their parents. Chase is saddened by hearing this, which Ginger picks up on. Ginger begins shouting and screaming at the teacher about how much of a 'bitch' she is, upsetting Chase.

Ginger threatens Mrs Callahan to either let them leave without reporting them for leaving, otherwise she'll find a way to ruin her.

Mrs Callahan is speechless over the fact that a child has just threatened her. Ginger tells Mrs Callahan to be a "good fifi" and leave them before she really gets hostile. Mrs Callahan walks away and heads back inside the school, where she considers going to the head's office, but ultimately decides not too, due to being worried about what Ginger would do. It's obvious that Mrs Callahan is suspecting Ginger as one of the killers.

We cut to after school. Cheryl, Valerie, Taylor and Melody are meeting up with Austin, Oliver, Max and Kaylee at Monroe's cafe, where Roxie works. Austin tells the teenagers that this place looks exactly the same as it did ten years ago.

Valerie asks where Sasha and Veronica are, which leads Austin to reveal that until Nicole can come and collect Veronica, they're having Sasha look after her at their house.

Austin asks Cheryl how she's been holding up after her father's death. Cheryl confesses that she's struggled with it, but is learning to deal with it. She admits that although Gerald wasn't the best father, he was the only one she had and she misses him dearly, despite all the bad things he's done.

Cheryl tells Austin that it must have been hard to lose everybody he's ever loved, Billy, Harry, Ashley, Jill, Shane, and even Sean and Hayley, despite the fact that they turned out to be the killers.

Austin tells Cheryl that she's right about all the people who he's lost, but look at him now; he's a survivor, he's defeated the killers who terrorised him and his friends, and tells Cheryl that she will do the same, just like everybody else.

Kaylee tells the group that she's going to order. She walks over to the counter and orders a latte. While the waitress brings Kaylee the latte, Kaylee notices the cuts on the waitress' arms, meaning this is Roxie. Kaylee tells Roxie that whatever she's going through, it does get better. Roxie realises that Kaylee saw her cuts and asks if Kaylee would mind her own business. We quickly fade to black.

### Hide and Seek

We open where the last episode left off. Roxie is walking away from Kaylee, but Kaylee follows her. Roxie asks her what she wants. Kaylee tells Roxie that what she wants is to help her see that cutting isn't the answer.

Roxie asks Kaylee why she should listen to her, leading Kaylee to admit that she's just like her, before showing Roxie her scars. Roxie tells Kaylee to come back some other time, as she has customers she needs to serve. Kaylee gives Roxie her phone number and tells her to call her the next time she gets an urge to cut. Kaylee walks back over to her friends with her latte in hand.

After a few moments, Sasha enters the cafe, alone. She is hysterical and worried. Austin asks Sasha what's wrong and where Veronica is. He realises that something has happened. Sasha reveals that one of the killers hit her over the head from behind, knocking her unconscious, and when she woke up, Veronica was gone. This news angers Austin and Oliver, who want their daughter back safe.

Suddenly, Austin and Oliver both receive texts from Gas Mask. The text says "go to the place where the most blood has shed, there you will find your precious daughter". They realise that it means Veronica is at the abandoned school. Cheryl says that they need to call the police immediately, but Austin and Oliver are adamant, stating that calling the cops would trigger the killers to murder Veronica, which they don't want to risk happening.

We cut to twenty minutes, Austin, Oliver, Kaylee, Max, Cheryl, Valerie and Taylor have just arrived. Melody and Sasha had to stay behind as there wasn't enough room in the car. They all get out of Austin's car. Cheryl asks what's going to happen if Veronica's already dead. Austin responds by telling Cheryl that he'll make the killers pay, with 'this', revealing that he has a fully loaded gun.

They walk inside the abandoned school, where they split into groups. Austin with Cheryl and Valerie, Oliver with Taylor, Max with Kaylee. They all walk away from each other, with Austin, Cheryl and Valerie walking down into the basement, where they find nothing.

We cut to Sasha, who is in the forest alone. Suddenly, Gas Mask appears. Sasha asks Gas Mask to return Veronica and asks for Austin, Max and Veronica to leave this killing spree unharmed.
Gas Mask asks what he'd gain from this, leading Sasha to offer her help in the killings. Gas Mask asks why he should consider Sasha's offer. Sasha reveals that when it's time, she'll take full responsibility and say she was Gas Mask, leaving the real Gas Mask to get away with it.

Gas Mask seriously considers Sasha's offer, but ultimately decides against it. He pulls out a knife and stabs Sasha repeatedly. Sasha Roberts, sister of Ashley Thomas and adoptive mother of Austin Thomas and Max Roberts, and season 2 survivor, is dead.

We cut to Taylor and Oliver. They're looking inside the room where Ashley was killed in last season. Oliver admits that there has been so much death in this place and it needs to stop.

Suddenly, a candlestick hits them both over the heads, knocking them both unconscious. It's revealed that Horse Face was the person responsible. He looks at them, before dragging them off.

We cut to Max and Kaylee. They are searching near one of the old bathrooms in the school, where they find a blood trail, leading inside. They follow the blood trail into the bathroom, where they find something which we do not see.

We cut to a flashback. We see Daniel has just woken up from being unconscious and is hanging upside down, naked. All three killers stand in front of him with scythes in their hands. Bloody Face asks if Daniel has any last words. Daniel says "fuck you" to the killers. Bloody Face tells Daniel that what he said wasn't very nice at all.

Daniel starts to scream in pain as the killers start to slash him with their scythes. After around thirty seconds of slashing at Daniel, he tells his partners to stop. Daniel isn't dead yet but is on the brink of death. To finish Daniel off, Bloody Face lifts up his scythe and slashes vertically down Daniel's body, causing his blood and guts to fall out. Daniel Matthews, Cassie Banks' former boyfriend and rapist of Tristian Knight, is dead. The flashback ends.

We find out that what Max and Kaylee have just found is Daniel's mutilated corpse. Kaylee screams at the sight of this. Cheryl, Valerie and Austin hear Kaylee's scream and come running. They also find Daniel's corpse. Valerie manages to identify Daniel as Daniel, the guy who raped Tristian and got away with it.

Suddenly, Gas Mask appears with a knife in hand. Austin spins around with his gun in hand and shoots at Gas Mask, hitting him in the chest. Gas Mask collapses to the floor, causing everybody to run over to him. Max realises that the knife has been taped to his hand, making them realise that this is not Gas Mask, but somebody else.

Austin grabs the gas mask and pulls it off, before realising that his husband, Oliver Anderson, was behind the mask. He realises that he has just shot his own husband. He cries while he demands somebody to call the police. He cradles Oliver and begs him not to die on him.

We cut to later in the day, Valerie and Hayden are sitting at Valerie's house. Valerie tells Hayden that she loves him and hopes they both survive, or if not, then they die together. Hayden tells Valerie that they're more likely to survive.

A suspicious Valerie asks Hayden how he could know that. Hayden falls silent, which makes Valerie alarmed. He tells Valerie that she wasn't supposed to find out this way. Hayden King is one of the killers.

Valerie jumps from her sofa and dashes into the kitchen. Hayden follows her and asks her to calm down, before saying that he isn't going to hurt her. Valerie demands to know who the other killers are, but Hayden refuses to tell, stating that he promised not to, in order for Valerie not to be harmed.

As a reaction to this, Valerie tells Hayden that she doesn't need or want his protection and demands for him to reveal the identities of his partners. Hayden tells Valerie that she doesn't mean it and that she loves him.

Valerie tells Hayden that he's wrong about that, she does mean it and she definitely doesn't love him. This angers Hayden, who grabs a knife and threatens Valerie with it. Before Hayden can stab her, Valerie grabs a knife and stabs Hayden in the chest. Hayden falls to the floor and reveals that he was never going to hurt her with his knife, but himself.

As Hayden starts to slowly die, he manages to mutter that he's sorry and that he just wanted to protect her. An emotional Valerie accepts Hayden's apology and tells him that she forgives him. Hayden smiles at the sound of this. During his dying moments, Hayden manages to tell Valerie to read Melody's diary. His eyes then close and he stops breathing. Hayden King, Valerie's boyfriend and Horse Face, is dead.

We cut to the building where Gerald's corpse was found. It's revealed that Taylor is there, tied to a chair. He is motionless and bloody. Smash to black.

### Cruelty

We open up to Waldenwood General, where Austin, Max, Kaylee and Veronica anxiously wait for news on Oliver. We fade into a flashback, the police found Veronica locked in the hidden room behind the bookshelf in the abandoned school basement. The flashback fades back out.

Suddenly, a familiar voice calls out Austin's name; it's Nicole Smith. She walks up to her friends and hugs them. Nicole tells everybody that she came as soon as she heard about what happened.

Nicole then turns to Austin and tells him that he should have waited until she could look after Veronica, before returning and interrupting a murder spree. She tells him to look at what's happened so far; Veronica was abducted and Oliver was shot. Austin tells Nicole that she's right.

Nicole tells Austin that she can't stay long because she doesn't want to risk Veronica's safety. She tells Austin that she and Veronica will be leaving in the morning, so it's best that he says his goodbyes to his daughter. Nicole then asks where Sasha is.

We cut to the building where Taylor is being kept hostage. Suddenly, Gas Mask walks in the room. Taylor begs to know where he is. Gas Mask reveals that they're in an orphanage that closed down a few years ago.

Suddenly, Gas Mask receives a text from Bloody Face, who informs him that Hayden revealed himself and is dead, meaning that Gas Mask should scrap his original plan with Taylor and go to plan B. Gas Mask puts his phone and looks back at Taylor.

Taylor asks Gas Mask why he's here, stating that he was told by Valerie and Cheryl that he's not a target. Gas Mask tells Taylor that Valerie and Cheryl were right, but that doesn't mean he gets a free pass.

Gas Mask reveals that they know his secret. Taylor is confused as to which secret Gas Mask is talking about and asks which one he's talking about.

Gas Mask reveals that he and Bloody Face know that Taylor's grandfather is Arnold Montgomery, a man who murdered eight teenagers in 1971. We recognise who Gas Mask is talking about due to the flashback in season 2.

Taylor asks what this has to do with anything. Gas Mask tells Taylor that he has killing in his blood, which he and Bloody Face intend on putting to good use. Taylor shouts that his grandfather was a psychopath who got what he deserved when he was sentenced to death by lethal injection.

Gas Mask tells Taylor that there's no need to shout, before offering the role of Horse Face in their crusade. Taylor tells Gas Mask that he'd rather die than take lives of mostly innocent people. Gas Mask tries to convince Taylor that he'd be avenging Tristian, but Taylor is still refusing to join.

Gas Mask, who is pissed that Taylor won't co-operate, leaves the room. After a few minutes, he returns with something in his hand.

He tells Taylor that it is his last chance to change his mind, but Taylor is still refusing. Taylor threatens to kill Gas Mask, who responds by telling Taylor that he thought Taylor didn't want to become a killer.

After realising that there is no way of convincing Taylor to join, he reveals a meat cleaver in his hand. Taylor realises that something is about to happen, but sticks to his word of not wanting to join in with the killings.

Gas Mask gets close to Taylor, causing Taylor to shout for Gas Mask to get away from him, but Gas Mask doesn't listen. Gas Mask unties Taylor's left arm but grabs it before Taylor can use it. He forces Taylor to spread out his fingers, threatening to dismember his whole hand if he doesn't. Taylor does as instructed.

Suddenly, Taylor starts screaming in pain. We see that three of his fingers were severed with the meat cleaver. Gas Mask then unties Taylor from the chair and then flees.

We cut to next morning, Austin is still at the hospital after staying overnight. Nicole, Veronica, Max and Kaylee walk up to him, revealing the news about Hayden's reveal and death. Austin tells them that he saw Taylor being brought in last night after being attacked by the killer.

He asks if anybody has heard from Sasha yet. Max breaks down, realising that Austin hasn't heard yet; Sasha was killed last night. Austin begins to mourn his adoptive mother's death.

Nicole tells Austin that it's not safe her for Veronica, so they're leaving immediately. Austin and Veronica say their goodbyes. Veronica then holds onto Nicole's hand as they walk away. Austin cries as he watches his daughter walk away.

Moments after Nicole and Veronica leave, a doctor approaches Austin, Kaylee and Max. He tells Austin that he's sorry, but they couldn't save Oliver. Oliver Anderson, Austin Thomas's husband and Veronica Anderson's father, and original survivor, is dead. Austin falls to his knees as the doctor walks away.

After realising that he has just killed his own husband, he starts to punch the floor and cry. Max and Kaylee try to comfort Austin, but he jumps to his feet and runs out of the hospital.

Kaylee and Max are about to go after Austin, but another doctor approaches them and asks if any of them is Austin Thomas. They say they're not, but they're family. The doctor reveals that Oliver is alive, but in a stable condition. Once the doctor has walked away, Max and Kaylee look at each other in shock.

We cut to the "doctor" who told Austin that Oliver had died. He is outside the hospital, he pulls out his phone and texts an unknown number saying that it's done. He scrolls up through the previous texts, making us see that Gas Mask had threatened to kill the man's children.

We cut to Nicole, who is driving with Veronica. They've nearly reached the outside of Waldenwood. Suddenly, Nicole sees somebody in the road and pushes down on her breaks, but realises that they've been cut. Nicole swerves her car in order to not hit the person, causing her to drive into a lamp post. The crash causes Nicole and Veronica to be knocked unconscious.

It's revealed that the person who was standing in the road was Gas Mask. He drags Veronica and Nicole out of the latter's car and loads them into a nearby white van that was hidden behind a bush. Gas Mask starts the car and drives away.

We cut to the Fitzgerald household, where the family are having dinner. Sharon tells her children that it's time they leave Waldenwood. Smash to black.

### Crazy

We open up to the Fitzgerald household. Sharon has just revealed that she wants to leave Waldenwood. The twins manage to convince her to change her mind, stating that they're too deep with their school work, and leaving now would just be stupid.

We cut to later in the day. Cheryl and Valerie have just met up at Monroe's cafe. Both are still in shock that Hayden was Horse Face, and that the killers tried to recruit Taylor as a replacement. Valerie confesses that before he died, Hayden told her to look in Melody's diary. This makes Cheryl suspicious. Cheryl asks if he said why, but Valerie reveals that he didn't. Cheryl tells Valerie that she has a plan. She tells Valerie her plan off-screen.

We cut to around an hour later, Austin is wandering around the cemetery, where he has just visited his parent's graves. Suddenly, he gets a text from Gas Mask, demanding that he goes to the forest if he wants Veronica to live. Gas Mask says they'll play a game of hide and seek.

A distraught Austin runs to the forest, where he sees Gas Mask watching him. Gas Mask calls him and tells him that if Austin approaches him now, he'll slit Veronica's throat. Austin demands to know where his daughter is, but Gas Mask refuses to tell, not until they play the game of hide and seek.

Gas Mask tells Austin to come and find him, at this Austin realises that Gas Mask has vanished. He runs off into the forest. He runs through hundreds of trees but finds nothing. Eventually, after ten minutes of running around the forest, Austin comes across a lake. He looks out into the lake, before realising that there's somebody under the water by the docks.

Austin runs over to the docks and jumps into the lake. He swims over to the person who's being held under the water and grabs them. Austin tries to pull them to sure, but it's too heavy due to there being a heavy dense brick holding them down. He eventually manages to pull them to shore, where he realises that it's Nicole, and is dead. Nicole Smith, twin-sister of the late Nathan Smith, and original survivor, is dead.

Instead of crying or reacting in a negative way to his friend's death, Austin just stands up and walks away. Eventually, he collapses to the floor and cries. He is then found by some hikers.

Half an hour later, the police are here and Austin is in the back of the police car. One of the cops says to the other that he wants to have Austin taken to Ashton State Sanitorium for a psych evaluation due to his weak mental state.

We cut to later in the day, Austin is sitting on a hospital bed in Ashton Sanitarium. A nurse is in there with him, bringing him food. Smash to black

We cut to the Fitzgerald house, where Sharon, Cheryl, Chase and Melody are having a meal. Melody asks Sharon how she's is. Sharon says that she is fine, but has struggled after Gerald's death. She starts to tear up, which causes Chase to give Melody a dirty look. Melody apologises for bringing it up, Sharon tells Melody that it isn't her fault.

We cut to Melody's house, where Valerie has just broken in. She is searching Melody's bedroom to look for her diary. She walks over to the wardrobe, where she finds Melody's diary.

As Valerie reads through it, she realises that some of the pages have been torn out. She asks herself why Hayden would tell her to check this. Valerie looks around the room and realises there is lots of scrunched up paper inside the bin. She walks over to it and takes all the paper out of it.

She un-scrunches all the paper and finds two pages from Tristian's diary, as well as a few pages from Melody's diary. Valerie reads through the two pages from Tristian's diary. She realises that the first page she has read is about Cassie's friends, Velma, Kelsey, Shelia and Brianna, the girls who died in the episode one with Cassie.

As Valerie reads the first piece of paper, we cut to a flashback, set days after Steven told Tristian about Cassie's allegation. Tristian is laying in bed, depressed. He has been made to drop out of school by his parents.

We cut to Waldenwood High, where Cassie's friends, Velma, Kelsey, Shelia and Brianna are walking around the school, shouting about Cassie's accusation, telling everybody that Tristian is guilty. The girls then walk up to Cassie, before telling her that 'it's done'. We cut back to Tristian, where his phone is blowing up with threatening texts. The flashback ends.

Valerie then reads through the note about Daniel. We cut to a second flashback, set a few months before Cassie accused Tristian. Daniel and Tristian are hanging out at Ginger Adamson's house party. Daniel tells Tristian that he's happy that he managed to convince him to come. Tristian smiles and says that Daniel is a very convincing person.

Daniel asks Tristian if he wants a drink. Tristian says that he does. Daniel says he'll be right back. He walks over to the fridge, before taking out two beers. He opens them both up, before looking around to make sure nobody is looking. He puts some sort of pill in one of the drinks. Daniel walks back over to Tristian, before handing him the spiked drink.

We cut to a few minutes later, Tristian wakes up to find himself in Ginger's bed, being raped by somebody. He tries to cry for help, but guy places his hand over Tristian's mouth. We see the rapist's face; it's Daniel. Daniel continues to rape Tristian.

Suddenly, there's a knock at the door, which causes Daniel to stop. He pulls his trousers back and covers Tristian with a blanket. He runs over to the door and opens it, asking the person what they want. They say they thought it was the bathroom, before leaving. Tristian lays frozen on Ginger's bed. Daniel grabs his coat and leaves Tristian alone. The flashback ends.

We exit out of Valerie's point of view. She asks herself why these notes would be here, and if Melody could be one of the killers. Suddenly, Valerie hears somebody downstairs, so she climbs out of the window and jumps onto the bins below. She then runs down the road.

We cut to Cheryl's house. The meal has just ended and Melody is just about to leave. Suddenly, Valerie shows up and asks if she can speak to the two of them in private. They go up to Cheryl's bedroom.

Inside Cheryl's bedroom, Valerie confronts Melody about the notes she found in Melody's bedroom. Melody demands to know why Valerie was in her bedroom, and if Cheryl inviting her here was just to get her out of the way.

Cheryl confirms that it is, but insists that they have a good reason. Cheryl tells Melody that before he died, Hayden told Valerie to read Melody's diary. Melody goes pale and asks if Valerie found anything. Valerie admits that although she didn't find anything in the diary, she did in the bin.

Valerie pulls out Tristian's notes about Daniel and Cassie's friends. Melody is confused as to what these are. Valerie reads them out to her two friends. Melody is shocked at what she's hearing and is confused as to why these were in her room.

Suddenly, there's a knock at the door. Cheryl answers it and finds Sharon on the other side of the door. She reveals that 'this' was just posted through their letterbox. Cheryl asks what it is, causing Sharon to reveal that it's a letter addressed to Valerie. Sharon hands it to Valerie and then leaves.

Valerie opens the letter and reads the first line; she recognises it as Melody's handwriting, but doesn't say anything. As she continues reading, we cut to a flashback, which is set just after Tristian was found innocent of raping Cassie.

Melody, Tristian, Cheryl, Valerie and Taylor are on their way back from a theme park. Melody is driving. We fast-forward until it is just Melody and Tristian. Instead of looking at the road, Melody looks down at her phone for a brief second. Tristian starts shouting for Melody to look up.

Suddenly, Melody's car hits a stop sign. Tristian pleads with Melody to call the police, but Melody refuses, stating that she could go to prison, and so could Tristian. Melody and Tristian start to argue, which results in Melody threatening Tristian. Tristian reluctantly agrees to keep quiet about this.

Later that night, Melody is watching TV. She starts to flick through the channels, before landing on the news channel. Melody gets the shock of her life as she learns that there was a crash at the place where she knocked down the stop sign, which left three people injured and one dead. We then hear the name of the person who died in the crash; Charlie Valentine, who is Valerie's older brother. The flashback ends.

Valerie is on the verge of a breakdown after learning the truth about her brother's death. Suddenly, Valerie lashes out at Melody, punching and slapping her. She screams that Melody killed her brother. Cheryl tries to pull Valerie from Melody but it isn't working. Cheryl runs out of her bedroom and shouts Chase and Sharon to come and help.

Valerie grabs a pillow from Cheryl's bed and holds it over Melody's face. Sharon, Chase and Cheryl come running in and pull Valerie from Melody. Valerie has a full on crying fit. Cheryl tells Melody to leave, which she does. Smash to black.

### New Enemies

We open up to Valerie and her parents at the police station. Valerie is being interviewed by Sheriff Norman Peters about the revelation of Melody being responsible for Charlie Valentine's death.

Mr and Mrs Valentine are distraught but also relieved that they finally know the truth about their son's death. Sheriff Peters tells the family that he's going to have Melody be brought in for questioning.

We cut to Monroe's cafe, where Kaylee is sitting at a table. It's obvious that she's waiting for somebody. Roxie shows up and sits down in the seat opposite Kaylee. Roxie asks Kaylee if she really thinks she could help her. Kaylee says she believes that she could. Kaylee lifts up her sleaves and reveals her scars to Roxie. She points out that some were done along time ago, and some were recent.

Kaylee admits that before the first killing spree, she struggled with depression due to bullying and would cut and starve herself, until eventually she was sent to a therapy retreat. She eventually got better, and then she met Max and they eventually got married.

She then reveals that around two years ago, she was a teacher and she found out she was pregnant. During one of her classes, there was a student who was playing up and she tried to calm him down. He eventually lost it and hit her in the stomach, causing her to lose the baby.

Roxie is shocked at the sound of this. Kaylee tells Roxie that after this, she struggled with depression once again and was hospitalised twice after attempting suicide due to not being able to cope with what happened.

She admits that Max has helped her learn to cope, and eventually she met with the teenager who had hit her in stomach and caused the miscarriage. He was depressed over what he had done to her and she realised that he had been cutting. She told him that she forgave him and that she doesn't blame him. He eventually stopped cutting and now they're very good friends.

Kaylee asks Roxie if she feels comfortable to share her story. Roxie says that she is. Roxie then reveals that one day, she and her boyfriend David Williams were making out and he wanted to have sex, but due to Roxie only being fourteen at the time, she wanted to wait until she is sixteen. David became abusive and started to rape her. As a reaction to this, Roxie grabbed a pair of scissors and stabbed David in the neck repeatedly and didn't stop. Her parents heard noises and came to see what has happening. They found her covered in David's blood. The death was eventually ruled as an act of self defence.

Kaylee is shocked by this news. She takes hold of Roxie's hand and tells her how sorry she is that she had to go through such a tragic event. Kaylee tells Roxie that she's a beautiful young soul who deserves piece. Kaylee holds onto Roxie's hand and tells her that they've both been through such 'shitty' things in their lives and they deserve so much more. The two girls hug. It's obvious that this is the start of a beautiful friendship.

We cut to Cheryl, Valerie, Taylor, Ginger and Chase. Valerie whispers to Cheryl, asking her why Ginger is here. Cheryl whispers back, revealing that she wouldn't let Chase come alone, so Cheryl had to let Ginger come with Chase.

Suddenly, Hanna and Kyron walk up. Ginger reveals that she invited them, and that she doesn't care if anybody doesn't want them there. Hanna asks the group where they're all going. Cheryl reveals that they were originally going to go to visit Oliver in hopsital, due to him getting out today. Ginger asks Cheryl why she's bothering with the Waldenwood survivors, if they're possibly the reason why this is happening.

Cheryl asks Ginger to elaborate. Ginger then explains that the killings may have started before the Waldenwood survivors came back, but what if they started again to lure the survivors back. Cheryl says that she's just overthinking it. Ginger turns to Cheryl and asks what makes her so sure. Ginger then starts asking Cheryl if she's the reason why the killings are happening, and even goes to the point of accusing Cheryl of being a killer.

Cheryl slaps Ginger for accusing her of murdering her father, or atleast being an accomplice. She then calls Ginger a "dumb bitch". Cheryl says that if she was to murder somebody, it'd probably be her. Ginger stamps her foot and starts screaming that Cheryl has just made the worst mistake of her life, and that she's going to end her.

Chase grabs his girlfriend's arm and tells her not to threaten his sister. Ginger demands that Chase gets his hand off her before she murders him. Everybody looks at each other as Ginger walks away, shouting that they're all going to pay.

Valerie and Cheryl walks away from the group and eventually find theirselves at the hospital where Oliver is. Oliver is getting ready to leave the hospital. He tells them that he's happy to see that they're surviving. Suddenly, Max and Kaylee enter the room. They reveal that they've been calling Austin all day but he's not answering or replying to any texts. Oliver grows concerned over Austin's disaperance.

Sheriff Peters shows up and reveals that they've found a body matching Nicole's description. This shocks everybody. Kaylee mentions that Nicole was taking Veronica back home, meaning that Veronica must have been abducted again. Oliver is distraught that Austin and Veronica are missing.

We cut to two hours later. Cheryl and Valerie have just popped to Cheryl's house so she can pick up a jacket. They see Sharon and decide to tell her about Ginger. Sharon tells her daughter to stand up for herself and to "kick the shit out out of that bitch, Ginger". The mother and daughter start to hug. Cherly tells her mother that she and Valerie are heading to the cinema, to take their minds off everything. Sharon tells them that it sound's like a good idea.

We cut to night time, Cheryl and Veronica are walking home. Suddenly, a candle stick hits them both over the head. We see that the attacker is Gas Mask. He looks at Cheryl and then Valerie, before dragging Valerie off into the darkness. Smash to black.

We reopen to the orphanage, where Valerie has just woken up. She is is bound to a chair, just like how Taylor was a few episodes back. Gas Mask walks in and reveals that they have big plans for her, and unlike Taylor, Valerie will co-operate.

Valerie tells Gas Mask to 'fuck himself' before spitting at him. Gas Mask tells Valerie that he has a proposal; Valerie becomes apart of the killing spree, so she can avenge her brother by making Melody her main target. Before we see Valerie's response, we cut to Ashton State Sanitorium, where there are not many workers due to it being late at night.

We see three nurses on their way out the front door. Suddenly, Bloody Face, Gas Mask and the brand new Horse Face appears. Bloody Face has a nail gun, Gas Mask has a machete and Horse Face holds a knife. The three killers walk over to the nurses.

Bloody Face shoots the first nurse in the face and throat with a total of three nails, killing her. Gas Mask decapitates the second nurse, and Horse Face stabs the third nurse in the head, killing her instantly. Gas Mask tells Horse Face that deciding to join the cruisade was the best decision they could have made.

The killers walk inside and find a front desk clerk. Before the clerk can react, Bloody Face shoots him a total of five times in the throat with the nail gun. They continue on walking, before finding more workers. Bloody Face shoots the first worker with the nail gun until the nails run out. The worker is dead. Gas Mask impales the second worker with the machete, killing them. The third worker tries to run away. Gas Mask tells Horse Face that it's his time to prove himself.

Horse Face runs after the third worker and manages to catch up to her. He tells the worker that he's sorry for this, before slashing the worker's throat. Bloody Face and Gas Mask catch up to Horse Face to see how he killed the worker. Bloody Face tells Horse Face that he's impressed with his first kills and that he's already an expert in killing, just like his grandfather; this means that the new Horse Face is Taylor Montgomery.

The three killers continue on walking to find more staff members. Suddenly, a doctor jumps at them with a rope and cries to choke Horse Face with it. A quick thinking Gas Mask impales his machete through the doctor's throat, killing him instantly. Another worker runs up, but Horse Face tackles him, before stabbing him in the head.

Once again, the three killers start walking again, but this time, with the intention of reaching Austin.

The killers finally manage to locate Austin's room and they go there. Inside, Gas Mask and Horse Face are struck over the head with a bedpan by a doctor, causing them to fall unconscious. Before he can hit Bloody Face, Bloody Face repeatedly hits the doctor across the head with his nail gun.

Austin jerks awake at the sound of murder. He awakens to find the word "LEAVE" written in blood on the wall. He shouts "can't I have a break down in peace', before running out of the room and coming across all of the dead bodies of the workers. The killers are nowhere to be seen. Smash to black.

### Born Jealous

We open up to the police swarming Ashton State Sanitarium. Austin is sitting in the back seat of Sheriff Peters' car. Suddenly, Oliver, Max and Kaylee come running up. Austin mutters that Nicole is dead and Veronica has gone again. Oliver is distraught by his friend's death and daughter's kidnapping. Austin and Oliver hug each other as they mourn Nicole. They ask each other about how they're going to find Veronica.

The scene cuts to next morning at the orphanage. Taylor, who is no longer dressed as Horse Face, is searching through the orphanage. He has the intentions of finding evidence that could lead him to finding out the other killer's identities.

He starts to hear loud thumping coming from the loft, causing him to go and investigate. Taylor climbs up the ladder and walks into the loft, where he finds somebody chained to a pipe. The person is covered with a black sheet.

Taylor walks over and pulls the sheets from them, revealing that Veronica was underneath it. Taylor is shocked that a child is being kept in these conditions. He removes the tape from Veronica's mouth and asks her if she's been fed.

Veronica shakes her head. Taylor sighs. He tells her that he's going to get her out of here. Taylor looks around the room for a key but finds nothing. He tells Veronica that he'll be back soon. He leaves the room.

Moments later, Taylor returns with some pliers. He walks over to the pipe and cuts the chain, letting Veronica go free. He tells her to run and don't stop. Taylor says he'll be right behind her. Veronica climbs down the ladder and runs off.

Instantly, Taylor receives a text message from Gas Mask, calling him an idiot for doing that. He realises that he must have been watched. He looks up at the corners of the room and realises there is a camera watching him. He mutters the words "oh fuck" to himself. He climbs down the ladder and dashes out of the building.

When outside, he grabs his phone and texts Cheryl, telling her that he found Veronica in the orphanage, but before he sends the text, somebody grabs him from behind; it's Veronica. Taylor tells Veronica that she's safe now. He calls Cheryl, asking her to find Austin and the other survivors.

We cut to mid-day. Austin, Oliver and Veronica have just been reunited. Austin realises that Veronica has bruises on her back from being whipped. He vows to make these killers pay.

Max and Oliver tell him not to do anything reckless that could result in his death. He tells them that he cannot promise anything, due to not wanting to break it.

We cut to around seven in the afternoon. Valerie, Cheryl, Taylor, Roxie and Chase are sitting in Monroe's cafe. Valerie reveals that Sheriff Peters' cannot find Melody; she has disappeared. Chase declares that she's possibly gone into hiding due to a guilty conscious. Valerie sighs.

Cheryl's phone buzzes; she has a text from somebody. She reads it out loud, revealing that Tristian's parents are coming back to Waldenwood. Roxie asks if that's really the best thing at the minute, with the killing spree going on. Taylor asks Roxie to elaborate.

Roxie reveals that Tristian told her stories about his childhood, with his parents being cruel and abusive towards him. This shocks everybody other than Valerie, who admits that Tristian also told her this.

Cheryl asks if Tristian's parents were like that before Tristian died. Valerie turns to Cheryl and reveals that it stopped until he was 15, and when Cassie accused Tristian, it started again. Cheryl sighs, asking herself how somebody so nice could go through such tragedy.

Roxie tells the group that she has an announcement, which is unrelated to the killings. She reveals that Monroe's cafe is closing down, due to Mr and Mrs Monroe (the owners) are retiring. This news shocks everybody.

Suddenly, Austin, Oliver and Veronica walk in. They sit near the teens. Oliver reveals that coming back to Waldenwood was a mistake for them as it has put Veronica in too much danger. Austin then reveals that despite how much they regret coming back, they cannot leave. This is because the killers will find a way to stop them, like they did with Nicole. Austin tells the group that the killers will be stopped.

Suddenly, all of them receive a text from an unknown number. The text is an invite to a party at the orphanage. Valerie asks the group about who could be stupid enough to host a party during a killing spree.

Almost instantly, they all receive another text, revealing that the party is being hosted by... Cheryl and Austin. Everybody is shocked.

We cut to Max and Kaylee, who are walking to the orphanage. They are under the impression that Cheryl and Austin are the ones hosting the party. Suddenly, Gas Mask jumps out and hits them both over the head with a candlestick, knocking them both out. He then drags the two of them away into the darkness.

We cut to the party. Austin, Cheryl, Oliver, Cheryl, Valerie, Chase, Taylor, Roxie and Veronica have just arrived. Austin instructs Oliver and Taylor to take Veronica into a back room and lock the door behind him, so the killers cannot reach them. The trio leaves in order to find a room for them to hide in.

Austin, Cheryl, Valerie, Chase and Roxie ask each other why somebody would host a party in Austin and Cheryl's name. They conclude that it must have been the killers.

Roxie tells the others to look up where she's looking. Everybody does. They see people wearing Gas Masks, Horse Face masks and Bloody Face masks. Valerie mutters "oh my god".

Austin reveals that they should split up into groups, to hopefully find something that will lead them to the killers. Austin is with Cheryl, Valerie is with Roxie and Chase. Austin tells Roxie's group to try and find a way to turn off the music and lights. They walk in separate directions.

Cheryl and Austin struggle to push past everybody. Suddenly, Cheryl recognises Ginger in the crowd, handing out masks. She asks Austin if Ginger threw this party. Austin asks why Ginger would put his name down as one of the hosts, as they've never even met before.

They both decide to walk over to Ginger and confront her about the party. Ginger expresses shock that they actually both came. They ask if Ginger is involved with this party, which she confirms she is. Ginger reveals that she wanted to see two of her biggest enemies no longer be seen as the victims, but as these 'trashy party freaks'. Austin tells Ginger that what she has just said doesn't even make sense.

Ginger raises her voice, telling Austin to stop talking. Austin asks Ginger why she called him her "biggest enemy" if they've never even met before. Ginger reveals that they have met before, when she was a child. Austin asks Ginger who she is. She begins laughing and looks at Austin, before shouting that she's his sister. Both Austin and Cheryl are shocked by this news.

Before Austin and Cheryl can ask any more questions, Ginger walks off. Austin and Cheryl try to follow her, pushing people out of the way in the process. They can't find her anywhere. Suddenly, Austin spots her walking in the direction of the staircase. He tells Cheryl that he's going to catch up to Ginger. He runs off.

After a few minutes of searching for Ginger, Austin finally finds her, sitting alone in a dark room. He asks if she's really his sister, which Ginger confirms that she is. Ginger reveals that Harry had an affair with her mother when Austin was nine years old, leading to Ginger's birth. Ginger begins shouting that Austin got a perfect life, whereas she didn't; her mother was a drunk and she (Ginger) didn't know her father.

Austin shouts that he didn't know about Ginger, and neither did their father, due to his memory loss. Ginger starts screaming that Austin took her life, despite the fact that he was born first. Austin tells Ginger that because he was born first, Ginger was born jealous. Ginger screams at Austin insulting her.

She grabs the same candlestick that Gas Mask uses and hits Austin over the head with it, knocking him unconscious.

Suddenly, a masked Bloody Face enters the room. Ginger tells him that she's done everything he's asked, and that their plan is set. Bloody Face looks at Austin, who is unconscious on the floor. He snatches the candlestick from Ginger and hits her over the head.

Bloody Face locks the door and walks over to some boxes, which he starts to move. It's revealed that there's a hidden doorway behind the boxes. Bloody Face clears out a pathway and opens the door, before dragging Ginger outside.

We cut back to Cheryl, who is walking around in the party by herself. Suddenly, the lights and the music switches off. Everything goes black. Smash to black.

### Fight Me

We open up to the fuse box, where it's revealed that Roxie is the only person there and the other two are gone. Suddenly, both of them walk into the same room that Roxie is in, with both coming from different directions.

We cut to around half an hour later, Sheriff Peters has just arrived and made everybody go home due to underage drinking, but Cheryl, Oliver, Veronica and Valerie are still there, looking for Austin.

Suddenly, somebody grabs Cheryl's arm; it's Austin. Oliver and Veronica hug him. Austin tells them about Ginger being his sister, and that he didn't even know about it until today. He tells them that Ginger hit him over the head with a candlestick, knocking him out, and when he had woken up, she was gone and there was a door open, which led outside.

Austin tells everybody that although Ginger may hate him, he still wants a relationship with her, after all, she is his sister. Cheryl tells Austin that it's very unlikely as Ginger bullied Tristian and that everybody who treated Tristian wrong is a target.

We cut to the abandoned school, where Max and Kaylee are being held captive by Gas Mask, who is taunting them. Gas Mask tells them that they're going to do some 'good old fashioned' horror movie trivia, and if they get all three questions right, then they live, but if they get less than two wrong, then they both die.

Gas Mask asks them three questions, which they answer correctly. Gas Mask reveals that despite how they may have won this challenge, one of them will leave here today without a body part. Gas Mask pulls out a coin and reveals that if he lands on heads, then Kaylee loses a leg, and if he lands on tails, then Max loses an arm.

He tosses the coin, which lands on tails. Gas Mask tells the couple that he's feeling generous. He grabs a meat cleaver and dismembers Max's hand, instead of his entire arm. Max screams out in pain, and Kaylee screams at the sight of her husband's hand being chopped off. Gas Mask walks over to Kaylee and is about to untie her binds, but begins to talk about Kaylee's miscarriage instead, and how she would have been an unfit and terrible mother.

Kaylee screams for Gas Mask to "shut the fuck up" before she makes him. Gas Mask, who is amused that Kaylee would threaten him, unties Kaylee's binds before running away, shouting that if she wants to make him shut up, then she has to chase him. Kaylee hugs Max and promises that she'll be back for him. She picks up Gas Mask's meat cleaver and starts running in the same direction as Gas Mask. She screams for him to show himself. Gas Mask shouts that Kaylee has to come and find him.

After around two minutes of searching, Kaylee gives up trying to find Gas Mask and decides to run back to Max, where she finds Gas Mask about to dismember another one of Max's hands with a machete. Kaylee charges at Gas Mask with the meat cleaver and manages to knock the machete out of Gas Mask's hand. She kicks it to the side.

Gas Mask manages to knock the meat cleaver out of Kaylee's hand. They start to fight. Max, who is falling unconscious due to his loss of blood, mutters for Kaylee to stop and run. Max falls unconscious.

Kaylee gets some good punches against Gas Mask, and manages to crack Gas Mask's mask. Gas Mask realises that it's time to stop playing around and punches Kaylee in the face with all his strength, causing Kaylee's nose to break. He throws Kaylee off him and runs away, just as his mask breaks in two. Kaylee is unable to see Gas Mask's hair or face. She grabs onto her husband and unties him, promising not to let him die like this. We cut to an hour later, Max is in hospital being treated for his hand. Kaylee is being treated for her broken nose.

We cut too early next morning. Cheryl wakes up and walks downstairs, where she finds Sharon. Sharon says good morning to her daughter. Cheryl says it back. They talk about Gas Mask attacking Max and Kaylee. They're both shocked that Gas Mask actually let them live, due to his targets seeming to the Waldenwood 6.

Cheryl reveals that she officially has her first suspect for Gas Mask; Ginger. Cheryl reveals that Ginger has the perfect motive to want to target the Waldenwood 6, or at least Austin, due to them being siblings, and Austin getting the "perfect life" as Ginger had claimed. Sharon is confused by this, due to the fact that Austin went through two killing sprees, losing all those close to him, and Ginger thinks that is a perfect life. Sharon says that Ginger sounds like a major bitch. Cheryl laughs and says that she is.

Cheryl's phone buzzes; it's a text from Brenda Knight, Tristian's mother. The text asks Cheryl to meet her in an hour at Monroe's. Suddenly, Chase walks down the stairs and greets his mother and sister.

We cut to Cheryl at Monroe's. Suddenly, two people walk up to her. They introduce themselves as Steven and Brenda. They sit down and order some drinks. It's revealed that Roxie and two other baristas are working.

Brenda and Steven tell Cheryl that they've heard about all this tragedy that's happened here on the news. Brenda mentions all those poor parents who have lost innocent children. Cheryl tells Brenda that she doesn't mean to sound rude, but she's wrong. Steven looks bewildered and asks Cheryl to elaborate, which she does.

Cheryl tells Tristian's parents that the people who are dying, are mostly the people who hurt Tristian in some way. Cheryl reveals that Tristian had written some sort of list of the people who hurt him and that the killers have it. The parents become worried about this news, due to them not treating Tristian the best in the past. Brenda becomes fidgety and tells Cheryl that she's just remembered that she has a doctors appointment. She runs out of the cafe and Steven follows her.

Roxie walks over to deliver their orders. She admits to Cheryl that they're probably worried due to them being on the list. Cheryl looks at Roxie and asks for Roxie to tell her what she knows about the list. Roxie pulls out two pieces of paper and hands them to Cheryl. She reveals that she was sent these.

The first page is about Ginger, with the other being about Melody. Cheryl admits that she received the note about the person after they have been killed, so this must mean that Ginger and Melody are both dead. Almost instantly, Cheryl receives a text from Bloody Face. The text reveals that he's changed it up a little bit, and that he's decided to reveal the pages before he kills his victims.

As Cheryl reads the note about Ginger, we see a montage of Ginger bullying Tristian since they were around six years old. The montage ends. Due to Cheryl already knowing what Melody did, she doesn't read the note about her.

We cut to the orphanage, where Ginger finds herself locked in a coffin-like box. She screams for help. Suddenly, she starts to hear noises; noises of a saw cutting through her body. She begins screaming. We see Bloody Face standing at the side of the coffin. He is sawing through it with a regular hand saw. He can hear Ginger's blood-curdling screams as she is sawed in half. Ginger Adamson, half sister to Austin Thomas, and daughter to Harry Thomas, is dead.

Bloody Face separates the two sides of the coffin from one another, causing Ginger's intestines to pour out onto the floor. Bloody Face admires his work, before calling Ginger a 'bitch'. He pulls out a piece of paper that has names of his victims that were on the list. On the paper, we see the names, Velma, Kelsey, Brianna, Shelia, Cassie, Daniel, Whitney and Ginger. All names have ticks next to them. We can see the next name; Melody. Bloody Face then leaves the room.

He climbs up the ladder into the orphanage loft. We see Melody locked up in a cage. Bloody Face tells Melody that in this place, the punishment for causing a death is death. He picks up a spear and impales Melody's leg with it. He then twists the spear, causing Melody's leg to crunch and snap. Bloody Face unlocks Melody's cage and drags her out, causing the spear to get stuck on the cage door and tear through Melody's leg. He drags her over to by the loft door, where he throws her down.

Bloody Face drags her to by Ginger's corpse, where he picks up some of Ginger's intestines and puts them on Melody, causing her to throw up. Bloody Face walks to the other side of the room and picks up an axe. He returns over to by Melody and asks if she has any last words. Melody spits at Bloody Face and calls him weak. Bloody Face tells Melody that they'll see about that.

He swings the axe at Melody, causing her leg to be dismembered. He repeats the process, but this time, on the other leg. He then swings the axe at both arms, leaving Melody limbless. Bloody Face swings the axe down at Melody, causing her to be decapitated. Melody Sanders is dead. Bloody Face ticks off Melody's name and then looks at somebody else's name, which we don't see Whoever they are, are his next targets. Smash to black.

### Remorseful

We open to a week after Melody and Ginger's death. Today is Melody's funeral. All of Melody's friends are attending, even Valerie. Sad music plays as everybody walks up behind the men carrying Melody's coffin to the freshly dug up earth where the coffin will be buried. As the coffin is lowered into the ground, everybody cries, also including Valerie, who sobs that despite what Melody did, she didn't deserve to die in such a brutal way.

Everybody picks up a piece of dirt, before throwing it into Melody's grave. When it's Melody's turn to throw some dirt in, she says that she forgives Melody. Melody's parents look over at Valerie and apologise for what their daughter did, before thanking Valerie for being able to forgive her.

We cut to the orphanage, where Bloody Face and Gas Mask are talking. Bloody Face asks Gas Mask about how Taylor's process as a killer is coming along. Gas Mask admits that he doesn't think Taylor is the best person they could have recruited, despite him having murder in his blood.

Bloody Face says that if Taylor doesn't commit a kill tonight, then they're going to need a third Horse Face, as Taylor will be dead. Gas Mask says that he has some ideas on who they could recruit. Before we hear who Gas Mask is about to suggest, we cut to a different scene.

Max and Kaylee are at their apartment. They tell one another that if they're going to die, then they hope it's together. They hug, before looking into each other's eyes. They start making out and stripping.

Max struggles to take out his clothes, due to only having one hand. Kaylee helps him, stating that now it's her time to help him. They fall backwards onto the sofa and start having sex.

We see cut to black before they have sex, but we start seeing flashes of what's happening. From the flashes, we can tell that their sex is loving, sexy and even a little weird.

We cut to next morning before school. Roxie, Cheryl, Chase, Valerie and Taylor sit in Monroe's. Suddenly, Brenda walks up to them. She asks if she can talk to Cheryl in private. Cheryl says yes and they both stand up and walk outside the cafe.

Brenda reveals that she got a call from Gas Mask last night, revealing the new Horse Face will be replaced soon, and they want her to join them in avenging her son. Brenda reveals to Cheryl that she almost accepted the offer to join, but she soon realised that killing wouldn't avenge Tristian. Brenda starts to cry, sobbing that she wants her son back. Cheryl comforts her deceased friend's mother.

We cut back inside Monroe's. Valerie and the others can see that Brenda is crying and ask each other what could be wrong with her. Suddenly, Mr Monroe approaches Roxie and asks to speak to her.

When alone, Mr Monroe reveals to Roxie that they have somebody willing to buy the cafe, but he doesn't know if the new owner will want to keep the cafe as it is, as the potential buyer expressed their desire of turning the building into apartments.

We cut to Miss Callahan's English class. It is last period. Cheryl, Valerie, Chase, Roxie and Taylor are in the class. Adam, Hanna and Kyron are also there. As Mrs Callahan talks to the class, Cheryl whispers to Valerie about what Brenda told her. They conclude that Bloody Face and Gas Mask are more than likely planning to either kill Horse Face or make him reveal himself. Taylor hears this and worries.

We cut to after Miss Callahan's class. Adam knocks at Miss Callahan's door. He says that he was told that Miss Callahan wanted to see him. She says that she did. She says that she thinks they should stop their sessions before somebody finds out.

Adam smiles and says that somebody finding out would make their relationship more fun, as then they wouldn't have to hide it. Miss Callahan looks at Adam and asks if he's insane. She tells Adam that she'd lose her job if anybody found out.

Adam tells his teacher that she's been stuck in this school for the last six years, which has made her nothing but miserable. He tells her that it's time for her to think about herself and not the school. Miss Callahan smiles, which causes them to start making out. Unknowingly to them, they're being watched by someone through a peep whole, although we do not see who by.

Miss Callahan and Adam stop kissing, before telling each other that they'll see each other later. Adam leaves the classroom, only have Bloody Face sneak up behind him and knocks him out with chloroform.

Miss Callahan hears Adam's faded calls for help and goes outside her class to investigate. Outside her class, she finds Adam laying unconscious on the floor. She screams for help. Bloody Face tells Miss Callahan that he'll help her. He grabs her and knocks her unconscious with the chloroform. He stays he's going to have some fun with them. Smash to black.

We cut to the orphanage. Miss Callahan and Adam are both tied up and awake. They're screaming to be let go. Bloody Face is looking at his options on what he could use. Taylor, who is unmasked, enters the room and asks if Bloody Face is really planning on killing him or forcing him into a reveal, making him end up in prison. Bloody Face confirms this, stating that Taylor was recruited so people could be killed even when Bloody Face and Gas Mask were not able to kill, yet he refused to kill. Bloody Face is referring to the one week time jump.

Taylor turns and looks at Miss Callahan and Adam, who recognise him. They scream for him to let them go. He mutters the word 'shit' to himself. Bloody Face offers Taylor the opportunity to make him and Gas Mask change their minds on Taylor. Taylor asks what he must do. Bloody Face sarcastically says "how is it not obvious". Bloody Face wants Taylor to kill Adam and Miss Callahan.

Taylor asks what he has to use. Bloody Face points to his collection of brutal instruments of torture. We see sickles, scythes, an axe, a tub of gasoline, a nail gun (not the one used to kill the workers at Ashton State Sanitarium) and a power drill. Taylor picks the power drill.

Bloody Face tells Taylor that he better impress him. Taylor walks over to Adam and starts the drill, causing Adam to scream why this is happening. Bloody Face walks over and tells Adam that he's been a very bad boy and he needs to pay for it. Bloody Face nods at Taylor and tells him that he knows what to do.

Taylor says that he's sorry for what's about to happen. He starts to drill Adam in the leg with it, causing Adam to scream and howl hysterically. He twists the drill, causing Adam's leg to crunch and break. This impresses Bloody Face, who encourages Taylor to do worse. Taylor flips Adam's chair and makes it so his ass is in the air.

Taylor starts drilling Adam in the ass with the power drill, causing Adam to shriek in extreme pain. Bloody Face claps at this, stating that Adam is like his grandfather after all. Miss Callahan screams as she watches her younger lover be tortured.

Bloody Face tells Taylor to find him off now, which he does. He drills Adam's throat, killing him. Adam Johnson, Miss Callahan's secret lover, is dead. Bloody Face says that he and Gas Mask were wrong about Taylor, before offering the opportunity to kill Miss Callahan also.

Taylor, who is full of remorse for killing Adam in such a brutal way, turns down the offer, before leaving. Bloody Face walks over to Miss Callahan. He tells her that her death will be painless compared to Adam's. Bloody Face tells Miss Callahan that he's going to free Waldenwood of child predators.

He grabs her by the throat and begins strangling her. She tries to scream for him to stop, but he isn't listening. Bloody Face squeezes tighter. Miss Callahan, Adam Johnson's secret lover, is dead. Smash to black.

We cut to the police station. An officer informs Sheriff Peters that he has a visitor who has information for him, regarding the murders. The visitor walks in; it's Taylor. Taylor says that he's come to confess to the crimes he's committed as Horse Face. Sheriff Peters looks shocked.

We cut to later in the day. All of the police are running around the prison, although nobody states why. The camera zooms down a corridor, before heading through a cell door, where we see Taylor's corpse, hanging from the ceiling. He has hung himself. Taylor Montgomery, Tristian Knight's ex-boyfriend and the second Horse Face, is dead. Smash to black.

We cut to the orphanage, where two people are being dragged in by Bloody Face and Gas Mask. We zoom in on their faces; it's Brenda and Steven Knight.

### Before and After

We open up to before Adam and Oria were murdered, but after they were abducted. Cheryl and Valerie are chilling at Cheryl's house. Chase and Sharon walk in. They tell the girls that there was a letter delivered to the house this morning, which was addressed to the both of them. Sharon hands her daughter and then leaves, but Chase stays.

Chase looks at his sister and her friend, before revealing that he knows it's from the killer. Cheryl asks how Chase knows this. Chase tells Cheryl to turn the letter over, it's signed by 'B.F', which are the initials for Bloody Face. Chase reveals that he thinks he might be on the list they keep mentioning.

Chase reminds the girls that he and Tristian were great friends when the Fitzgerald's moved to Waldenwood, but Ginger interfered and spread rumours about them, and instead of trying to stop Ginger, he started dating her; one of the people who practically tortured Tristian throughout his entire life. Chase then admits that he helped Kyron with spreading what happened between Kyron and Tristian.

Cheryl looks shocked at this revelation; that her brother might be on the list, and might be targeted. Cheryl asks if this is why their father was killed. Chase admits that it could be a possibility. Smash to black.

We cut to the next morning. Everybody knows about Taylor's reveal and suicide, and Miss Callahan's relationship with Adam, and their deaths. Cheryl and Valerie are in Cheryl's bedroom, as Valerie stayed the night.

Valerie reminds Cheryl that they didn't read the list extract last night. Cheryl picks it up and opens it. She sees that the title is 'Adam Johnson'. Cheryl is shocked by what she reads.

We cut to a flashback, set a week before Tristian died. Cheryl and Tristian are sitting in Monroe's. Tristian holds Cheryl's hand as if to comfort her. Cheryl wipes her tears, before telling her friend that she's tired of being treated like this. Tristian says that Cheryl deserves so much better. They hug.

The next morning, at school, Tristian sees Adam in the corridor and walks up to him. Adam looks him up and down, before asking what Tristian wants. Tristian demands to know what makes Adam think he can do 'that' to Cheryl, or any girl for that matter. Adam is oblivious to what Tristian is talking about.

Tristian tells Adam not to play dumb, as Cheryl has told him about the times where Adam would hit Cheryl. Adam calls Cheryl a 'lying whore'. Tristian punches Adam as a reaction to this. Adam pushes Tristian to the floor and climbs on top of him.

Miss Langdon, Miss Callahan and four other teachers come running up. We see that it has evolved into a full on fight, with people surrounding and recording. Adam repeatedly punches Tristian in the face, causing him to lay there all bloodied and bruised. The teachers push past the students watching and grab Adam, pulling him away from Tristian.

At this point, Tristian realises that he can't protect anybody, not Cheryl, not even himself. The flashback ends.

We see Cheryl's reaction to what she has just read. She had no idea about the fight. Valerie is shocked at only just finding out about Adam and Cheryl. Valerie comforts her. Smash to black.

We cut to the orphanage grounds, where Brenda finds herself waking up tied to a tree. She looks around, confused as to where she is. She sees the orphanage and recognises it as the place where they adopted Tristian from. This means that the killer could possibly be somebody biologically related to Tristian.

Brenda looks up and sees her husband chained by the arms to the killer's white van and her (Brenda's) car. Gas Mask is in the car and Bloody Face being in the van. Brenda screams for the killers to spare them, promising to join them after all. Bloody Face steps out the van and tells Brenda that he gave her the chance to join, which would have allowed them to survive, but she pissed it away and cannot get it back.

Steven shouts at Bloody Face, begging to be spared of this torture. Bloody Face responds with a simple 'no'. Bloody Face goes back inside the van and starts the engine, causing Gas Mask to do the same. Both killers start driving away from each other, causing Steven's arms to be torn from his body. Steven falls the floor, armless. He slowly starts to bleed out. Steven Knight, Tristian Knight's adoptive father, is dead.

As a result of watching her husband's arms be torn from him, Brenda is hysterical. Gas Mask tells Brenda that now it's her time to die, but her death will be painless, due to the pain she must be feeling from watching her own husband be murdered. Gas Mask climbs out of Brenda's car with a machete in hand. He runs at Brenda and impales her through the stomach.

Gas Mask says that he's changed his mind, and wants Brenda to suffer instead. He grabs her hand and squeezes it, before dismembering it with the machete. He then impales her through the vagina with the machete, before twisting it. Brenda screams and howls at this. Gas Mask then slices through Brenda's throat with the corner of the machete until she is completely decapitated. Brenda Knight, Tristian Knight's adoptive mother, is dead.

We cut to Cheryl and Chase, sitting at home alone. Suddenly, Gas Mask appears and tackles them both. He stabs Cheryl in the stomach, before repeatedly stabbing Chase in the back. Chase's fate is unknown.

Cheryl jumps up, despite her stomach injury and bashes Gas Mask over the head with a vase. She goes to unmask Gas Mask, who jerks up before she gets the chance. He pushes Cheryl backwards, causing her to hit her head. Blood pours out of both twins as the scene fades out.

We open up to Hanna Bradford's house. She and Kyron have just finished having sex. Hanna asks Kyron to go downstairs and get her a beer from the fridge.

Kyron walks downstairs and heads for the kitchen. He opens the fridge and grabs a beer. As Kyron is about to leave the kitchen, he hears noises from outside the back door. He opens the door to investigate.

Gas Mask appears behind Kyron and grabs him. He picks Kyron up and throws him onto a tree, which impaled Kyron through the throat. Gas Mask tells Kyron that he shouldn't have done what he did. Kyron Parker is dead.

Suddenly, Gas Mask hears Hanna shouting, which gives him an idea. He runs to the shed and retrieves an item, which we do not see.

We cut to Hanna, who has just come downstairs to see where her boyfriend is. She looks through every room but finds nothing. She eventually opens the back door, which had been shut by Gas Mask. Hanna looks outside and sees her boyfriend dangling from a tree branch by his throat. She lets out a scream, before running inside and slamming the door behind her.

Hanna is hysterical. She runs through the kitchen door, only to be hit in the stomach with an axe. Hanna falls to the floor. She screams at the pain from her injury. Gas Mask repeatedly smashes the axe into Hanna's stomach and chest. Hanna Bradford is dead. Smash to black.

### Full of Rage

We open to Monroe's, where Cheryl is meeting with Valerie, Roxie, Austin, Max, and Veronica. All of them ask how Chase is, which Cheryl responds by revealing that Chase is in the hospital, being treated for his stab wounds, but is going to be fine as the injuries proved not to be fatal. She mentions that Sharon is with Chase in the hospital.

Everybody is shocked that Taylor confessed to being the new Horse Face and then killed himself. Valerie mentions that she heard on the news something about Taylor being blackmailed by the two other killers, who were threatening to murder his family.

Cheryl admits to everybody that she had a piece of the list delivered to her this morning. She opens it, causing everybody to see the name 'Kyron Parker'.

As everybody reads the note, we cut to a flashback, set before Daniel raped Tristian. We see Tristian, who is sitting alone in the library. Kyron walks up to him and sits down at the side of him. Tristian awkwardly says hey, it's obvious that Tristian is crushing. Kyron smiles and says hey back. He asks Tristian if he'd like to go out sometime, as friends. Tristian smiles happily and says yes. Kyron asks if tonight is okay, which Tristian responds with 'yes'.

We cut to later that night. They're at Kyron's house. Tristian and Kyron are sitting next to each other. Kyron asks if he can be honest with Tristian. Tristian says he can. Kyron admits to crushing on Tristian, who is shocked by this. Kyron says that he's seen the way Tristian looks at him and knows that he (Tristian) likes him (Kyron) back.

Eventually, the two guys start kissing, before falling backwards onto Kyron's bed. Tristian and Kyron both undress each other, despite being only 14. Kyron, who is on top of Tristian, reaches over and pulls open a drawer, revealing condoms. They proceed to have sex.

We cut to weeks later, it's revealed that Kyron has ignored Tristian since, and also spread it around the school that Tristian was 'open for business'. It was this that influenced Daniel to rape Tristian. The flashback ends.

Austin and Max are confused as to how somebody could be so cruel. Max mentions that maybe these people deserve to die. Cheryl glares at Max, causing him to remember that Chase is a target. Austin also glares, before saying that nobody deserves to die Max apologises.

Suddenly, Austin receives a text from Oliver, asking of he (Austin), Max and Veronica can come to the apartment for a moment. The trio leave.

We cut to the apartment where the remaining survivors are staying. Austin realises that somebody has smashed the place up. He heads straight for the sofa and lifts up a cushion, revealing a fully loaded gun to be underneath.

He and Max look through every room, finding nothing. Austin hears Veronica screaming. He runs into the room she screamed from. He sees his daughter lying on the floor, injured.

Suddenly, Austin is hit over the head with a baseball bat, rendering him unconscious. The attacker is Gas Mask. Max comes running in, having heard Veronica's scream. He sees Gas Mask and attempts to flee, but Gas Mask catches up to him. He is also knocked unconscious with the bat. Smash to black.

We cut to the hospital, where Cheryl is visiting her brother. She walks into her brother's room and sees that he's resting. She sits at the side of him.

Suddenly, Chase wakes up. Cheryl says hey to her brother, before asking how he's feeling. Chase says he's in pain. Cheryl comforts her brother. She asks where their mother is. Chase says he has no idea, revealing that before he fell to sleep, their mother said she was going to find a doctor to talk about when he (Chase) could go home, but hasn't returned since.

Cheryl tries calling her mother, but there's no answer. She panics that something has happened to her. She says she'll check at home.

We cut to the orphanage, where Austin, Kaylee, Oliver and Veronica are all tied to chairs. Gas Mask enters the room. Everybody screams to be let go. Gas Mask responds by saying, "now where's the fun in that?".

Gas Mask says that he want's to get comfortable here, as they're going to be there all night. He reaches for his mask and pulls it off. Everybody is shocked at who Gas Mask is; it's SHARON FITZGERALD!

They ask why Sharon's doing this. Sharon says that she wanted to be famous for 'killing and stopping' the killer (who would have been a decoy), but when they (the survivors) showed up, she wanted to be famous for killing them.

Sharon laughs sadistically, before revealing that she has a surprise for the survivors. She tells them to look around and see who's not there; Max. Kaylee screams that Sharon better have not hurt him, otherwise she (Kaylee) will hurt her (Sharon). Sharon says that it's too late.

She drags in Max's corpse. He has a machete lodged in his throat. Max Roberts, Kaylee Roberts/Westbrooke's husband, is dead. Kaylee screams at the sight of her dead husband. She screams that she's going to murder Sharon. Sharon tells Kaylee to come and get her then, before sarcastically reminding herself that she (Kaylee) can't, because she's tied to a chair.

Kaylee starts shaking, attempting to break loose, but it's no use. Sharon chooses her next victim; Veronica. This causes Austin, Oliver and Kaylee to scream for Veronica to be let go. They shout that Veronica is just a child. Sharon ignores them and jerks the hatchet out of Max's throat.

She walks over to Veronica's chair and slices her binds, causing Veronica to be free. Everybody shouts for Veronica to run, which she tries to, but Sharon stops her by hitting her in the back with the machete. Everybody screams, which Veronica cries in agony from the pain.

Sharon drags Veronica to right in front of the survivors. She then starts hacking, stabbing, bashing and mutilating Veronica with the machete, much to everybody's horror. Veronica Anderson, daughter of Austin Thomas and Oliver Anderson, is dead.

Everybody is hysterical now. Austin and Oliver, who are full of anger and rage, attempt to break the binds on their chairs. However, only Oliver is able to do so. He jumps up and punches Sharon in the face with all his power, breaking her nose.

Sharon attempts to stab Oliverwith the machete, which he kicks out of her hands. The final battle between Oliver and Sharon commences. Oliver strangles Sharon, who puts up a fight, due to her expertise as a killer. Oliver throws several punches at Sharon, who is now strangling Oliver. They fall backwards.

Oliver and Sharon roll around on the floor, with Sharon trying to grab the machete, which Oliver kicks out of reach. Sharon curses, before punching Oliver in the mouth. Oliver starts digging his fingers into Sharon's eyes, causing her to scream from the pain. She knees Oliver in the groin, causing him to fall from on top of her.

Sharon starts choking Oliver, who is bloodied and bruised. He tries to choke Sharon back, but there's no use. Just as Oliver is about to give up, Austin manages to kick the machete into Austin's direction. Oliver grabs the machete and slams in into Sharon's side. Sharon falls off Oliver, who begins slamming, bashing and hacking at Sharon, until there is nothing but a bloody mess. Sharon Fitzgerald, Cheryl and Chase Fitzgerald's mother, and Gas Mask, is dead. Smash to black.

### The Final Sin

We open to a flashback, set exactly one year before the events of season 3. We can hear crying. Eventually, we see the person's face; it's Tristian Knight. We come to realize that he has multiple scars all the way up his arms. Not only does he have scars, but fresh cuts too.

He wipes the tears streaming down his face with his scrunched up sleeve before picking up the already-bloody blade. Tristian sobs as he stares at the blade. Just then, he stops crying and stares at it, contemplating his fate; He can either put them it in the drawer, and suffer more pain from living, or he can die and finally be at peace. He chooses the latter.

He picks the blade back up and leaves the room, with the blade in his hand. We cut to the bathroom, where Tristian is staring at the bathtub, which he eventually climbs into. Tristian lays in the bathtub as it fills with water. Now is his final chance to change his mind of his plan to end his own life. He considers giving life one last chance, but thinks about all the horrible things he's been through, which seals his fate.

Tristian leans over the bathtub and picks up the blades. He opens the pack and takes one of the blades out. He feels the sharpness of it, resulting in his finger slicing open. However, he's not affected by the pain.
He lays back and brings the blade to his wrist. He makes the first cut on his left arm, severing his veins and causing the blood to flow out. Tristian is in tremendous pain, but doesn't stop. He takes the blade with his other hand and repeats the process on his right side.

Tristian drops the blade and starts to bleed out heavily. He's still in pain from his cuts, so he picks the blade back up, which he struggles to do. He brings the blade to his throat, and cuts it. Tristian bleeds out from the cuts on his arms and throat. Tristian Knight is dead. Smash to black.

We reopen to immediately after Sharon's reveal and death. Austin, Oliver and Kaylee are still in shock from what's just happened. Oliver walks over to Veronica's corpse and cradles it, before starting to sob. Oliver stands up and walks over to his husband and friend. He starts to untie them. However, Oliver starts to feel pain shooting through his body. He looks down, only to find a machete impaling him. Oliver screams, causing Austin and Kaylee to turn around. They see Bloody Face standing behind Oliver, and then they see the machete.

Bloody Face yanks the machete out of Oliver, who turns around to face the killer. He tries to reach for the mask, but is impaled once more with the machete, this time in the chest. Everybody screams. To finish Oliver off, Bloody Face impales him through the chest once more, before dropping him on the floor.

Bloody Face looks at the two remaining original survivors and considers killing them, but ultimately decide not to, at least not yet. He pulls the machete out of Austin and slices through Austin's binds, freeing him. Bloody Face flees, just as Austin jumps from his chair.

Austin grabs Oliver and cries. Oliver isn't dead yet. Austin cries, telling Oliver not to leave him. It's a very emotional scene. Oliver, who is bleeding out, tells Austin to avenge him, before saying that he loves him. Austin sobs as he says he loves him back. Oliver smiles, before closing his eyes for the final time. Oliver Anderson, Austin Thomas' husband and the late Veronica Anderson's father, as well as the secondary target of the first two seasons, is dead. Austin and Kaylee cry at the deaths of their loved ones. Smash to black.

We cut to the police swarming the orphanage. The corpses of Max, Veronica, Oliver and Sharon are being taken away. Cheryl is crying, while Valerie comforts her. Chase runs up, crying. He's still dressed in his hospital gown. He's shouting "mommy", while crying. It's heartbreaking. Chase tries to take the body bag that Sharon is in from the coroner, but Cheryl pulls him away. The twins cry together.

Everybody is shocked by the latest deaths and reveal. Roxie runs up to Valerie, who admits that she thinks they might be gearing up for the big finale, where they find out Bloody Face is one of their own. We cut to Chase and Cheryl, then Austin and Kaylee, who are mourning Veronica, Max and Oliver, then we cut to Valerie and Roxie. We zoom in onto Roxie's face. Smash to black.

We cut to the next morning at the Fitzgerald household. Kaylee, Austin, Valerie and Roxie stayed over. Everybody is mourning the losses of their loved ones, despite the fact that one of them was a killer.

Cheryl's phone buzzes; it's Bloody Face. This alarms everybody. Cheryl reads the text out-loud. It asks her to come to the orphanage unarmed and alone, no cops, no friends, just her. Just as Valerie predicted, this is the big finale. Chase is adamant about letting his sister go alone, stating that he cannot lose her too.

Cheryl refuses to let Chase come along, as she doesn't want him to die. Chase has Cheryl promise that she'll make it out alive. Cheryl promises, before heading off to the orphanage.

As soon as Cheryl is gone, Chase says that he's going after her and that everybody is free to join him. Everybody heads off to the orphanage, but not before stocking up on kitchen knifes. Oliver drives them.

We cut to the orphanage, where everybody, minus Cheryl, has just arrived. Everybody stands outside, waiting for her. Moments later, Cheryl appears. She tells everybody that she thought she told them that she's coming alone. Everybody refuses to allow her, stating that they're not prepared to lose her too. There's a group hug. Austin hands Cheryl a knife.

We cut to everybody inside the orphanage. They've split into groups, Cheryl with Austin, Valerie with Chase and Kaylee with Roxie. They all head off in separate directions. Cheryl shouts "I'm here, you dick", but gets no response. Cheryl and Austin continue walking on.

We switch to Kaylee and Roxie, who can see Bloody Face standing in front of them. They charge at him, but he runs off.

We cut back to Cheryl and Austin. Suddenly, Austin is hit over the head with a candlestick. The attacker is Bloody Face, who knocks the knife out of Cheryl's hand. He drags her off into a separate room, before locking the door behind them.

Cheryl screams for Bloody Face to unmask himself, which he does. Before we see Bloody Face's identity, we see Cheryl's reaction. She is devastated. We see Bloody Face's face; it's CHASE FITZGERALD.

Cheryl is disgusted by the fact that both her mother and twin brother are/were the killers. Cheryl demands to know why Chase did this. Chase reveals that when their mother, Sharon, was pregnant on them, she wasn't just pregnant on them. Cheryl asks what this means. Chase looks at Cheryl, before revealing that they're not twins, but triplets.

Suddenly, it hits her. Cheryl realises that Tristian was her biological brother. This news shocks her. She demands to know why their mother (who she calls Sharon) gave up Tristian. Chase reveals that Gerald forced her to give up one of the them, as they couldn't afford three children. Cheryl is shocked at this news.

Chase looks at Cheryl and tries to comfort her, but she pushes away from her. Chase asks what's wrong. Cheryl shouts that he killed all those people, including their father, who she loved. Chase shouts that their father was a cheating 'cunt' who cheated on his family and had their brother sent to an orphanage; this orphanage.

Cheryl correctly guesses that this is why the orphanage has been a lair for the killers. Chase confirms it. Cheryl then asks if Chase was actually on Tristian's list. Chase looks sad, before revealing that he was.

Cheryl tells her murdering twin-brother that he has to hand himself in, otherwise she'll call the police herself. Chase refuses, stating that calling the police isn't the best option. Cheryl tells Chase to give her one good reason not to call the police. Chase says that Cheryl shouldn't call the police because he wants her to join him in avenging their brother, before turning murder into a family legacy.

Cheryl smiles, asking if Chase really means it, that he wants her to join. Chase smiles, before confirming that he does. Cheryl says she will, before laughing sadistically. Chase walks towards his sister and touches her face. He smiles and calls her beautiful, before forcing his lips upon hers.

We hear Austin, Kaylee, Roxie and Valerie shouting Cheryl's name. Somebody tries the door handle, before realising that it's locked. Austin kicks the door in, causing everybody to see Cheryl and Chase making out, which disgusts everybody.

We start hearing choking noises. It's revealed that Cheryl only allowed Chase to kiss her, so she was able to grab him by the throat. She tells everybody to come and help her, which they do. She mocks Chase's attempt to kill all those who sinned against their brother, when he (Chase) is the real sinner. She jokingly asks him if he's planning on killing himself next.

Cheryl lets go of her brother's throat, before tossing him over to Valerie, who punches Chase in the throat. Roxie then grabs hold of Chase and punches him in the face repeatedly, breaking his nose in the process. Austin pulls Chase away from the girls, before telling him that this is for Oliver, Veronica and everybody else who he (Chase) has murdered. He kicks Chase in the groin, before slamming him to the floor. He repeatedly bashes the teenager's head on the floor.

Kaylee tells everybody that it's her turn now, but before she manages to get a hold of him, Chase stabs Austin with a knife he had hidden. Austin screams from the pain. He manages to stamp on Chase's arm, causing him to drop the knife. Kaylee then grabs onto Chase and tells him that this is for Max. She uses her long nails to claw at Chase's eyes. Kaylee successfully manages to pull out Chase's left eye ball, much to everybody's disgust.

Everybody picks up their knifes, with Cheryl picking up Chase's and they begin stabbing, slashing, bashing, anything, you name it, at Chase. Chase Fitzgerald, brother to Cheryl Fitzgerald and Tristian Knight, son of Sharon and Gerald Fitzgerald, and Bloody Face, is dead. Smash to black.

We cut to six weeks after the brutal third and final killing spree. It's revealed that Kaylee and Austin bought and took over Monroe's Cafe, and are renovating it into a bookstore and coffee shop. Roxie, Cheryl and Valerie are workers there, or will be when it's officially open for business. Kaylee tells everybody that she has an announcement; she's pregnant. Everybody congratulates her as we smash to black.
