## Storylines

Ryan Chamberlain (disguised as his identical twin Kevin Collins) noticed someone in his office and asks if he can help them. The person says that he can tell Kevin never expected to see him again. He introduces himself as Peyton.

Ryan apologizes for being startled and Peyton apologizes for trespassing. He wanted to makes sure he didn’t miss Kevin. Ryan assumes Peyton is there because of the documentary on Ryan Chamberlain and asks how it is going. Peyton says it is going great thanks to Kevin. Ryan is glad he can help.

Peyton is asked if he is looking to do some follow-up interviews. Ryan could even narrate for authenticity. Peyton thanks him but says he has already wrapped up the interviews, and will be providing his own narration. He is only in town to shoot some second-unit pick-ups and exteriors but he is there to see Kevin for his thoughts on the rough cut.

Peyton clears up what he means by rough cut by describing it as a private screening. Ryan says he would be honored but he has a few things to clear up at the office first. Then he can catch up to Peyton. He asks if Peyton is still working out of that rental space near the pier. Peyton says he is and that it is basic but does the job. Peyton says goodbye and leaves the office.

Later Ryan walks into Peyton’s rental space as Peyton watches footage of Felicia being interviewed about Ryan. Peyton tells Ryan to take a seat and gives him a pencil and notepad for his thoughts. Peyton comments on Felicia’s beauty and how it is easy to see why Ryan became so obsessed with her.

Felicia talks about first meeting Ryan in Texas when he was calling himself Todd Wilson. She says that she should have realized there was something wrong with him and he was damaged. Ryan snaps the pencil he is holding in anger and Peyton stops the footage and asks if something is wrong.

Ryan apologizes and Peyton says there are plenty of pencils. He offers Ryan a drink of water. Ryan declines and says that Felicia is a dear friend and Ryan was his brother and twin. That is a deep bond that can’t be broken by death. Peyton talks about twins having a special connection. He points out that Felicia actually brought that up in the interview and cues up the scene.

Felicia talks about Ryan following her back to Port Charles where he made her life a living hell. She said it was only fitting that he died in a hell of his own making in an inferno.

The next footage is Peyton interviewing Ryan (as Kevin) about his brother. Ryan says his brother was misunderstood and like any true artist he was too sensitive for this world. He needed others to feel his pain because it was so intense.

Peyton stops the footage and Ryan says it is quite powerful but he suggests that Peyton cut that stuff about Todd Wilson. He should focus on Ryan Chamberlain and Port Charles. Peyton says that would mean leaving out the Gloria Wilson murder. Ryan suggests saying that Ryan Chamberlain killed his wife Gloria. There’s no reason to mention Todd Wilson since he isn’t real.

Peyton questions if Todd is real since he went to the site of the funhouse where Ryan died. It's a coffee franchise now and no one would know the funhouse was there. He says that none of Ryan’s DNA was found at the site. And that's what's inspired his ending. He asks if Ryan would like a sneak peek. Ryan says that he would like it more than Peyton could possibly know.

Ryan wants to see the ending of the documentary. Peyton says he hasn’t taped it yet. The idea only came to him last night and Ryan is the first one to hear it.

Peyton suggests that Ryan didn’t die in the funhouse. He thinks there might have been a trap door or the blast itself propelled Ryan to safety. Ryan could be walking around today and look like anyone.

Ryan praises the ending and asks if Peyton has shown anyone the documentary yet. Peyton says that he has only shown some disparate conversations and establishing shots. But once he tapes the ending and puts all the pieces together, it will be a real eye-opener. Ryan thinks that it might. Peyton asks him what he thinks and Ryan says he has a few notes as he shuts the door.

Curtis talks to Jordan in bed and says they are running late for the New Years Eve party tonight. They agree to arrive fashionably late. She says that he could be a big star soon and he says that will only happen if the producer he has a meeting with tomorrow doesn’t flake on him.

He later gets a message from Ryan, posing as Peyton, that he is moving up his flight home and he wants to meet Curtis tonight. Curtis thinks Peyton is being rude. Jordan convinces Curtis to meet her at midnight after he wants to cancel.

When Curtis arrives at Peyton’s rental space, he trips on a pillow and notices blood on his hand and all over the place when he turns on the light. He calls Jordan and tells her that she needs to get to 256 Broad Street, #5 as he thinks there's been another murder.

Curtis goes over the text when Jordan arrives as officers, including Chase, investigate the murder site. Curtis says that Peyton wanted to meet him at this location and points out that the door was closed, but it wasn't locked. Jordan suggests that someone was definitely attacked but they aren’t sure who it was.

Chase tells Jordan that given the volume of blood, it's doubtful the victim made it out alive but they should still check the E.R. Jordan said that they are making inquiries but it’s possible the killer may have moved the body.

As Jason and Sam watch the New Years fireworks outside on the Metro Court balcony, Jason notices a bloody hand behind one of the fake snowmen decorations. He kicks away another decoration and Peyton’s body falls to the ground. Jason calls 911 and later answers Jordan’s questions.

Ryan and Curtis talk after Peyton’s murder is announced. Curtis reveals that he met Peyton one night at the Floating Rib and pitched a TV idea to him. Jordan comes in and says that the time of death was 6:00 PM. Curtis realizes that is early than the time that he received a text from Peyton.

Jordan gets a text that Peyton’s drivers license was removed from his wallet and he was stabbed twice. The first wound wasn’t fatal but spread a lot of blood. The second one went to the heart with almost surgical precision. She concludes that because of several similarities to the Mary Pat Ingles murder, they have a serial killer on their hands.
