## Episodes

### Pilot

3rd December 2000

We open to Rosewood High in the Library. It's lunchtime, so not many people are in here. However, in the library are students Gabriel 'Gabe' Marin, Kimora Summers, Timothy Kingston and Sasha Lodge. The librarian, Thomas Maxwell is also in the library. Everything is calm.

BANG! BANG! Everybody in the library lifts their heads up in the direction of the banging. Timothy asks what that noise was. A third bang is heard. Everybody comes to realise that this is the sound of a gun shooting. Everybody becomes frantic and worried. The library door opens, causing everybody to worry. However, it's only Izabella Petrovna, who is a fellow student at Roseland High. Izabella is covered in blood and is crying. She screams that there's a man with a gun and he's just shot three students. Thomas sees the blood on her and asks Izabella if she's hurt. Izabella reveals that it's not her blood, but the blood of her boyfriend, who was just shot in the skull.

We hear the noise of somebody trying the second library door. Sasha screams that it's the killer. Thomas runs over and leans against the door, warning everybody to either get under a table or behind a bookshelf, it doesn't matter, just as long as they're safe. It takes everybody a matter of seconds until they're hidden. Thomas shouts that he thinks the shooter is gone, but he couldn't be more wrong. He is shot in the heart through the door. Thomas falls to the floor and dies. Thomas Maxwell, Librarian at Roseland High, is dead. Everybody screams, but blocks out their screams by covering their mouths.

The door handle makes a clicking noise, causing everybody to realise that the shooter is about to enter the room. Despite being a geek, Gabe proves to have more balls than the jock, Timothy. He pushes a table in front of the door. Gabe shouts for everybody to help him, but keep down, so if the shooter shoots at the door, there's a lower chance of the bullet hitting them. The shooter, instead of shooting, begins shoving at the door, hoping to open it, but fails, due to all of the items everybody has stacked. Everybody is relieved upon realising the shooter is walking away.

However, we hear the shooter walk to... a second door. Sasha, Izabella and Kimora scream. Gabe shouts for everybody to get back to their places. Kimora and Timothy hide underneath a table. Sasha hides behind a bookshelf. Izabella hides under Thomas' desk. Everybody is hidden, except for Gabe, who runs to his hiding place. However, before he reaches his spot, he's shot in the back of the head. Gabriel 'Gabe' Marin is dead. We see that the shooter, who is male, is in the room.

The shooter walks over to by Sasha's bookshelf. He stands on the opposite side of the bookshelf, tormenting Sasha, by knocking down some books. Sasha runs over to the next bookshelf, where she hides. Just as the shooter gets close, Sasha sneaks back around the bookshelf and runs to the one she was at originally. When she gets there, the shooter jumps out at her, causing her to scream in fear. He asks if she believes in God. Sasha, being atheist, says no. The shooter smiles, revealing that he doesn't actually care if she does or doesn't. He shoots Sasha in the chest. Sasha Lodge is dead.

Over at Thomas' desk, we see Izabella, who is trying to reach for the phone without being seen. She pulls down the phone from the desk, but makes a noise while doing it. Despite knowing that she might be doomed for making the noise, Izabella calls the cops. She sobs that there's a man with a gun and he's shooting people. Izabella looks up, only to see the gun pointed at her. Izabella starts to scream, but it's blocked out by the sound of the gunshot. Izabella is shot in the head. Izabella Petrovna is dead.

The shooter starts walking in the direction of Timothy and Kimora's table, pretending as if he doesn't know they are there. Wanting to keep his girlfriend safe, Timothy tells his girlfriend that he loves her, before telling her to run when he says. Kimora begs Timothy not to do anything, but he doesn't listen. Timothy gets from under the table and confronts the shooter. He tells him to stop killing innocent people. Timothy is about to tell Kimora that now is the time for her to try and escape, but is shot in the throat, killing him. Timothy Kingston, boyfriend of Kimora Summers, is dead.

Kimora starts crying harder, and even pisses herself from fear. She knows that death is coming. The shooter flips over the table that covers Kimora. He points the gun at her. Kimora begs the shooter to stop, but he ignores her and shots her in the head. Kimora Summers, girlfriend of the late Timothy Kingston, is dead. The shooter looks around at all the murders he's committed. However, instead of giving an evil look, he gives the look of fear and confusion, as if he doesn't know what he's just done.

He drops his gun, just as swarms of armed police come bursting into the library. The shooter sees the police pointing their guns at him and begs to know what's happening. One cop shouts that he (the shooter) killed many people. The shooter realises what he's done. He sobs to himself and goes to grab his gun. He plans on using the last bullet in there to kill himself. However, the police start shooting at him, believing he was about to shoot at them. The shooter is dead. We fade to black at the sound of the police sirens.

### Welcome to Roseland

3nd December 2017

We open up to Roseland High, where several teenagers are sitting at a table in the cafeteria. The teens, Violet Harmon, Tate Langdon, Zoe Benson, Kyle Spencer, Chad Warwick and Patrick Anderson, are all eating their school lunches. Chad tells everybody to look up, which they do. The Queen Bees of the school, Hayden McClain and Madison Montgomery, are walking past. The mean girls look directly at our main group and scowl, showing hostility between them; it's obvious they don't get on.

A trio of jocks, Leo Morrison, Larry Harvey and James March, walk past Violet's table, and head straight over to the mean girls, who are staring at Violet's table. Hayden whispers something in Leo's ear, which amuses him. Suddenly, a football comes flying over at Violet's table. Hayden and Madison stand close by, laughing. Leo laughs and walks over to the table, claiming that it was an accident, and that the ball just slipped. Leo then starts laughing and says he's joking, it wasn't an accident. Zoe, who caught the ball after it hit them, picks up her fork and stab the football, popping it. She jokes that it was an accident, and that the fork slipped. Everybody, except the mean girls and Leo, starts laughing. Leo tells Zoe that she's going to buy him a new ball. Zoe says that it isn't happening.

Madison and Hayden come marching over, with the rest of the jocks. They tell Zoe that if she doesn't buy Leo a new ball, then they're going to beat the shit out of her. Zoe tells them to do their worst. Just as Hayden goes to slap Zoe, Kyle pushes Hayden out the way. He tells Hayden to leave Zoe alone, and that this wouldn't have happened if she didn't tell Leo to throw the ball at them. Hayden is about to speak, but Leo interrupts, telling Kyle to "sit down and shut the fuck up". Kyle tells Leo to fuck himself, before trying to pull Zoe away, incase she gets hurt. Our main group start walking away.

Moments after walking away, Chad and Patrick reveal that they're going to leave school so they can go on a date. Chad asks if somebody can cover for them. Violet smiles and says she will. Chad and Patrick say goodbye to their friends and depart. Not long after Chad and Patrick have left, Madison and Hayden come running up to our core four. Instead of speaking, they jump on top of Zoe. Kyle tries to drag the mean girls from on top of his girlfriend, but is knocked down when Leo punches him from behind. Kyle and Leo start fighting, while Zoe fights Madison and Hayden. Violet and Tate look at each other and nod. They join in the fight.

Zoe punches Hayden, who pulls Zoe's hair, while Violet and Madison are rolling around on the floor, punching and slapping each other. Kyle and Tate are teaming up against Leo, who punches Kyle. Kyle and Tate punch Leo back, causing the other two jocks, Larry and James, to join in. Kyle and Tate start kicking Larry and James in the head, causing them to tumble to the floor in pain.

When they're out of the way, Kyle and Tate turn their attention back to Leo, who has just punched Zoe. Kyle, seeing that Leo has just punched his girlfriend, completely loses it. He storms over to Leo and punches him in the face, knocking him to the floor. He continues punching Leo until Tate, Violet and Zoe have to physically restrain him. Some teachers come running over to separate the fight, despite it already being over. Leo gets up and spits out some blood. As two of the teachers take Leo, Madison, Hayden, Larry and James away, Hayden and Leo promise that this isn't the last of it. We see a man dressed in a janitors outfit watching the core four with a suspicious look on his face. We cut to black.

We reopen to Violet, Zoe, Tate and Kyle sitting in a classroom. Two members of staff are sitting with them, asking how the fight started. We come to realise that the two members of staff are Cordelia Harmon, Violet's mother and one of Roseland High's English teachers, and Fiona Goode, Cordelia's mother and the principal of Roseland High. Fiona promises our teens that Madison, Hayden and Leo will be punished for starting the fight, but Kyle will also have to be punished too, for how badly he punched Leo. Fiona says that Kyle will have an half hour detention after school. Kyle admits that it was worth it, and that nobody will hurt his girl. Zoe and Kyle hug. Cordelia tells everybody that it's nearly time for her to teach her next lesson, so she asks if they can leave so she can prepare. Violet hugs her mother and says goodbye. Violet, Zoe, Kyle and Tate then leave. We cut to black.

### Fatalities

22nd September 2017

We open to Hayden's house, where she and Leo are having sex. Both are moaning loudly. Hayden moans for Leo to "screw me harder", which he does. Hayden starts to orgasm, and so does Leo. Hayden and Leo are both clearly out of breath, so they lay back on Hayden bed. Leo asks Hayden if she enjoyed it, because he sure did. Hayden admits that she did enjoy the sex, but James is better at sex. Leo looks at Hayden and asks he if she's joking. Hayden laughs and says that she isn't. Leo becomes furious and threatens to kill James. Hayden tells Leo to relax, stating that they's enough of her to go around. Leo asks what Hayden means. Hayden says she wants to have a threesome. Leo is adamant, but is eventually convinced.

We cut to a twenty minutes later, James has just arrived and all three are naked. Leo is grossed out at seeing James naked, but James isn't bothered about seeing Leo. He asks if they can get on with it. Hayden says yes, and asks them to Eiffel Tower her. James and Leo both look at Hayden in amusement. As they start their threesome, we see that they're being watched from outside, but we don't see who by.
We go back to the threesome, where Leo is in the front of Hayden, while James is in the back. Hayden moans louder than she did when it was just her and Leo. It's clear that she's enjoying herself. Hayden and Leo start making out, before she moves on to kissing James. In a twist, James and Leo push Hayden out of the way and start making out with each other. Hayden asks herself "what the fuck is happening?", upon seeing that her boyfriend and her lover are now having sex with each other.

Suddenly, the lights go out, causing Hayden to jump in fright. Leo and James stop having sex and throw their clothes back on. They tell Hayden to wait up here while they go check what caused the lights to go off. Before Leo leaves the room, he tells Hayden that she was right, James is better at sex. This comment leaves Hayden speechless.

Downstairs, Leo and James look around for the fuse box. They decide to split up in order to find it quicker. James is the one to find the fuse box. He opens it up and realises that all the switches were turned off. He flicks them all back on. James turns around to walk back upstairs, but is grabbed by an unseen person. The person throws James at the fuse box, causing James to be electrocuted. James March, lover of Hayden McClain, is dead. Because James was thrown into the fuse box, the electricity cut again, meaning the lights have stopped working again. We see the person who killed James. They're not wearing a mask or a costume, it's a man with long overgrown hair and old-looking skin. This means that the person who killed James is Spalding.

We see somebody approach Spalding, however we do not see their face. Using a voice modulator, the other person congratulates Spalding on his first kill and asks how he felt. Spalding says he feels divine. The other person tells Spalding that they both have work to do, before passing Spalding a machete. Both killers walk out the room, wielding a machete each.

In the kitchen, Leo is looking through the cupboards for food instead of searching for the fuse box. He pulls out an expensive bottle of wine. He smiles to himself and places the bottle on the side. It's obvious that he intends on stealing the wine. He continues to look through the cupboards, and fails to realise that there's somebody sneaking up behind him. The person makes a loud noise, causing Leo to spin around in fear. He sees the person; it's Hayden. She tells him that she thinks James has gone home, as she cannot find him anywhere. She looks at the side where Leo placed the wine bottle. She asks if he was planning on stealing it. He admits that he was.

Annoyed that Leo was planning to steal from her, Hayden grabs the expensive bottle of wine and smashes it over Leo's head. She jumps on top of him, screaming that if he wants to steal from her, then she'll steal from him. Leo is about to asks what Hayden means, but she pulls how his trousers. She grabs a knife and threatens to castrate him for planning to steal from her. Leo kicks Hayden in the face and takes the knife from her. He pulls up his trousers and kicks Hayden once more, but in the chest. Hayden mutters that she loves it when Leo plays rough, and tells him to continue. Leo starts kicking Hayden in the chest repeatedly. She begins punching her in the face, with Hayden telling him to do it harder. It's almost like Hayden has a fetish of being beaten up. Eventually, Leo's punch causes Hayden's nose to break. She tells him to stop now.

Hayden, who is badly injured from Leo beating her up, starts laughing at Leo. She tells him that she's going to the police and having him arrested for assault. Leo is confused, as Hayden asked him to do this. Hayden reveals that she's bored of their relationship and the sex they have, and intend on moving on to making her and James a full time thing. Leo begs Hayden not to go to the police, but Hayden refuses to listen, stating that she wants some excitement.

Spalding and his partner, without being seen, asks Hayden if this is exciting enough for her. They throw James' corpse at her. Instead of screaming, Hayden asks James if this is a hint that he wants to do role play the next time they have sex. Spalding's partner approaches Hayden and shouts that James is dead, and calls her a 'dumb fucktard'. Leo realises that James is actually dead and starts running away, upon realising that he might be next. Spalding chases him, while his partner stays with Hayden. Hayden is about to ask a question, but Spalding comes back in the room with Leo, tied up, and a shovel. He tosses the shovel to his partner, who begins bashing Hayden in the face until she's half dead. Hayden manages to mutter out the words "you don't have to do this", before the killer throws the shovel to the floor. He picks up his machete and slams it into Hayden's throat. Hayden McClain is dead.

Despite it being dark, it's light enough for Leo to see that Hayden was just killed. He's hysterical after witnessing Hayden's death. Spalding asks his partner if he could have the honour of assisting him in this final kill of the evening. His partner says yes. And with that, both killers start their final kill of the night. Spalding's partner slashes Leo's stomach and guts him. Spalding slashes Leo's throat and starts slicing through it until Leo's head is completely seperated from his body. Leo Morrison, boyfriend of Hayden McClain, is dead. After Leo is dead, we finally see who Spalding's partner is; it's Ghostface. We cut to black

### Hello, Violet

We open to the day after Hayden, James and Leo were murdered. Everybody's shocked at the news. Our core four, Violet, Zoe, Tate and Kyle walk into school and find everybody staring at them. Violet asks what happened, it's obvious that she doesn't know yet. Tate tells her about Hayden, Leo and James. The news shocks Violet, who asks who would do such a thing. Madison, who was passing, interrupts and tells Violet that she (Violet) and her group are the people who would do such thing. Tate asks Madison if she could just stop for one minute. Madison asks why she should stop, as they're killers. Zoe and Violet tell Madison that they're not killers. Violet tells Madison that today is the anniversary since her grandfather died, so she would appreciate if if Madison wouldn't start anything today.

Madison starts shouting that even after three students have been murdered, the only thing Violet thinks about is herself. Tate sighs to himself and mutters the words "not again". He takes Violet by the hand and they walk away. Madison shouts for Violet to kill herself before she kills somebody else. Violet stops walking and tells Madison to fuck herself. Violet continues walking with Tate, while Madison had a breakdown. She walks into the girl's bathroom and writes on the wall that Violet has bulimia in black permanent marker.

We cut to Cordelia's English lesson, where she is teaching Violet, Zoe, Tate, Kyle, Chad, Patrick and Valentina Romero, who is a Spanish exchange student. Cordelia assigns her class an essay due in for next Monday, based on mental illness, which they'll be turning into a speech and saying in front of the class. The bell rings, causing everybody to stand up and leave the room. Before Violet leaves, she asks her mother if she (Violet) is still picking Misty up from school later. Cordelia says that she is. Cordelia reveals that Fiona is coming around to their house later for a family dinner. Violet says okay and then leaves. Outside the classroom, Tate, Kyle, Zoe, Chad and Patrick are revealed to have been waiting for Violet. They tell Zoe that they think they should ask Valentina if she would like to join their friend group, as they've noticed that she's new and doesn't have any friends. Violet says it sounds like a great idea, and suggests they go introduce themselves.

Zoe sees Valentina walking ahead of them, and shouts her to wait up, which she does. Valentina says hello. Our main characters say hello back, before asking Valentina if she'd like to join their group of friends. Valentina says she would love too. It's official, Valentina is now apart of the friend group. Kyle asks everybody if they know what today is. Violet nods, stating that not only did her grandfather died on this day, but there was a school shooting, in these very halls, committed by Hank Foxx. This concerns Valentina, who chooses not to say anything.

We cut to after school, at the Harmon home. Violet has just pulled into the driveway in her car. After parking it, Violet, Tate and Misty get out the car. Tate says he'll see Violet tomorrow, and kisses her goodbye. He leaves and goes home, which is next door to Violet's house. Violet tells Misty that Fiona is coming for dinner today, so she (Misty) has to be on her best behaviour. Misty says she will be.
In the house, it's revealed that the dinner table is already set up, but neither Cordelia or Fiona are here. Violet calls out for Cordelia, but doesn't get a response. After a few moments, a man walks in the room; it's Ben Harmon, Violet and Misty's father. He hugs his children. Violet says she thought he (Ben) was in work this afternoon. Ben says that he left early, due to having to make the dinner for tonight. He asks where Fiona and Cordelia (who he calls Delia) is.

Just as Violet is about to answer, Delia and Fiona walk in. Delia tells her husband that the food smells heavenly. Ben thanks his wife and kisses her. He greets his mother-in-law, asking if she'd like some wine. Fiona says that she's never one to turn down wine. Ben asks if she'd like red or white. Fiona asks Ben to surprise her. Ben tells everybody to sit at the table, as he's about to bring the food and drinks in. Violet offers to help, which Ben accepts. He asks his daughter to pour the drinks, while he brings in the food.

We cut to moments after everybody has started eating. Violet's phone begins ringing, but she ignores it. She apologises to her family about her phone. She turns it on silent and continues eating. Suddenly, the phone begins ringing again, and everybody can hear it. Delia says that she thought Violet had just turned the phone on silent. Violet says she did, and Fiona backs her up, as she saw. The phone stops ringing, but starts moments later. Ben asks if Violet could just answer it in order to stop them from calling.

Violet answers the call, and hears the caller say "Hello, Violet". Violet asks who's calling. The caller tells Violet that it's a friend calling. Violet tells the caller that she's busy at the moment, and asks if they can call back in an hour or so. The caller tells Violet that if she hangs up, then he'll gut Misty like a fish. Violet looks at her family in shock. She demands to know who's calling, but the caller refuses to reveal their identity. He tells Violet that he'll tell her to call him by his alias; Ghostface. Violet asks Ghostface why he's calling her, and asks if this is a prank. Ghostface assures Violet that this is no joke, and soon, Violet will see that he's telling the truth. Violet asks Ghostface what he means. Ghostface reveals that him and his partner are the ones who killed Hayden, Leo and James, and soon, he'll be the one to kill Violet and her family. He tells Violet to enjoy her family meal, before hanging up. We smash to black.

### Burn This

We open to half hour after Violet received that call from Ghostface. She is being interviewed by Detective John Lowe about the call. She tells him about the threats that Ghostface made. John asks if she's sure that Ghostface took responsibility for the deaths of Hayden, Leo and James. Violet assures him that she's sure. John looks worried. He tells Violet and her family that if they receive any other calls similar to this one, then alert him at once, so he can have his team to to track down the caller and their location. We cut to black.

We open to early next morning. Violet is driving Misty to school, but Zoe, Kyle and Tate are also in the car. Violet arrives at Misty's elementary school. Misty and Violet hug and say goodbye to each other. Misty walks into her school and up to her friends. We cut back to Violet, Tate, Kyle and Zoe, who have just arrived at school. They walk up to Valentina, Chad and Patrick, who ask Violet if she's heard yet. Violet asks what they mean. Valentina tells Violet about what was written on the walls of the school bathroom; that Violet has bulimia. Violet asks who would do such a thing. Tate, Kyle, Zoe, Valentina, Chad and Patrick, all at the same time, say Madison.

Violet realises that they might be right. Madison appears behind her and says 'surprise, you bulimic bitch'. Violet asks Madison what her problem is. Madison says that her problem is Violet and her 'cluster of retarded fucks'. Violet asks what they did to her to make her hate them this bad. Madison asks if she really needs a reason to hate somebody, before going to punch Violet. Violet blocks the fight and catches Madison's hand. Madison looks at Violet and screams for her to loose her go. Violet says that she'll only let her go if Madison admits to lying about her (Violet) being bulimic. Madison says fine, and then shouts that it's false.

Violet smiles and lets Madison go. She begins walking away with her friends. Madison taps Violet on the shoulder, which gets her to turn around. She's punched in the face. Tate grabs Madison and drags her away. Violet walks up to Tate and steps on Madison's leg. Violet tells Madison that if she messes with her again, she'll live to regret it. Tate lets Madison go, causing her to drop to the floor. Madison stands up and walks out of the school, only to be ambushed by Spalding, who is wearing the janitors costume. He sedates Madison with chloroform.

We cut to later in the day, at a building that was obviously once a hospital, which has been abandoned. Madison wakes up, only to find Ghostface looking at her. Ghostface empties a bucket of a clear liquid over Madison. Ghostface congratulates Madison for tormenting Violet and her friends, but asks why she's doing it. Madison tells Ghostface that the only way she'll tell him anything, is if he tells her what liquid he threw over her. Ghostface admits that the liquid he threw over her was water, but if she doesn't answer his question, the next liquid he throws over her will be gasoline.

Madison reveals that she's in love with Tate, and Hayden was in love with Kyle, and that's why they hated Violet and Zoe so much. Ghostface says that this revelation is very interesting. Ghostface asks Madison how far she'd go to be with the one she loves; Tate. Madison says she doesn't know. Ghostface asks if she'd commit murder. Madison says that she wouldn't. Ghostface tells Madison that it's a shame, as she could have been great at killing. Ghostface goes to slit Madison's throat, but she stops him. She tells him that she's changed her mind. Ghostface says that Madison changing her mind is great, and tells her to be prepared, as he is going to give her some notes of what to do and say. We smash to black before we hear what Ghostface says.

We cut to half an hour, Spalding comes in the room, with somebody tied up, gagged and covered with a sack. Madison asks who's in the sack. Spalding ignores Madison, and forces the person into a chair. He pulls the sack off the person, revealing it to be Violet. Spalding ties Violet to the chair and leaves the room.

Madison approaches Violet, causing her to sob for Madison to get away from her. Madison tells Violet to watch her dirty mouth, before slapping her. Violet asks Madison what she wants. Madison lets out a sadistic laugh. She reveals her intentions of killing her, and then stealing Tate, who she is deeply in love with. Violet calls her sick, and asks if she is the one who called her. Madison reveals that she is, and has a surprise for her. Violet tells Madison to keep her surprise. Madison smacks Violet and tells her to 'shut the fuck up', before calling her 'Violet Whoreman'.

Spalding enters the room with a trolley, which has a sheet covering it. Madison pulls the sheet from the trolley, causing Violet to scream in horror. It's revealed that Ben is underneath, dead. Ben Harmon, father to Violet and Misty Harmon, and husband of Cordelia Harmon, is dead. It's obvious that he was tortured, before being gutted. Violet cries at her father's death.

It's obvious that Madison is horrified by Ben's corpse, but she sucks it up. Violet sobs, asking Madison why she killed her (Violet's) father. Madison tells Violet that she did it because she felt like it. Violet tries breaking free from the chair, but it does nothing. Madison tells Violet that it's time for her to be tortured, just like her father. Spalding enters the room with a match and some gasoline. He empties the gasoline out onto Ben's corpse, and light the match, before throwing it at the corpse. Ben's corpse sets on fire. Spalding picks up a metal pipe and begins heating it up.

When the pipe is bright red from the heat, he passes it to Madison, who tells Violet that she deserves this, and more. She places the metal on Violet's arm, causing it to burn. Violet screeches from the pain. Madison is clearly quite shaken up from doing this, but continues on doing it. She lifts up the pipe and places it on another part of Violet's arm. Violet screams and cries for Madison to stop. Madison does stop, but only to cough up blood. It's revealed that she was stabbed in the neck by Ghostface, who slits Madison's throat from behind. All of Madison's blood flows out all over Violet. Ghostface tells Violet that Madison lied about being the killer, and that now the real fun begins. We smash to black.

### Happiness Doesn't Last (Part 1)

We open to half an hour after Violet's torture, at the abandoned hospital. Violet is distraught by her father's death. Fiona, Misty and Cordelia come running up. They comfort Violet and cry together. Suddenly, a redheaded woman comes running up, crying. She begs to know if it's true. Cordelia recognises the redhead as Vivian Harmon, Ben's sister. Cordelia tells Vivian that she's sorry, but it's true. Ben's wife and sister hug each other as they mourn Ben. Soon, it's a family hug. John approaches Violet and asks if he can ask her some questions in private. Violet and John walk away.

John asks Violet what she remembers last, before she was abducted. Violet explains that she was walking home, and then a man with long, overgrown hair, attacked her . John shows Violet a photo of Spalding and asks if he was the man who attacked and abducted her. Violet says he was. John sighs, and reveals that Spalding is a wanted criminal who escaped prison three years ago, and has been on the run since. Violet asks why Spalding was in prison. John reveals that Spalding was a serial rapist. This news disgusts Violet.
Tate runs up and tells Violet that he's glad she's safe. Tate and Violet kiss. He tells her that he's going to keep her safe from now on, even if it means that he dies. Violet and Tate go back to Violet's family, where they continue to mourn Ben.

We cut to five days later. Not a lot has happened. There have been no killings, no calls or visits from the killer. Nothing. It's revealed that after Ben's death, Cordelia, Violet and Misty went on a mini-vacation at Vivian's house, in Brooklyn, New York. However, today they're returning to Roseland. Vivian considered coming to Roseland with them, but decided to stay in Brooklyn, at least for the time being.

We cut to four hours later, at the Roseland Airport, where Tate, Kyle, Zoe, Chad and Valentina are waiting for the Harmon family to arrive. Somebody runs up to Tate and hugs him from behind; it's Violet. Everybody welcomes her home. Violet thanks her. Valentina asks Violet if she's going to school tomorrow. Before Violet answers, Valentina adds that it's okay if Violet isn't ready to come back to school yet. Violet smiles and says that she is going to school, and so is Cordelia. Violet realises that Patrick isn't around, and asks where he is. Chad pulls out his phone and shows Violet a text from Patrick, which says that he's out with his family. As everybody leaves the airport, we realise that Spalding is watching them.

We cut to the Langdon house, where Tate and Violet are in bed together. Tate tells Violet that he loves her, and he wants to prove to her how much he loves her. He jumps out of bed and goes into a drawer. He takes something out of it and walks back over to Violet. He tells Violet that they may still be young, but he knows that he wants to remain a part of Violet's life until life itself is over. He tells Violet that the four years they've been together have been fantastic. He gets on one knee and opens a box, revealing a ring. He asks Violet to marry him. Violet is beyond happy. She accepts Tate's marriage proposal. It's official; Tate and Violet are engaged. Violet asks for just one favour, that they only tell their families, as she doesn't want the killer finding out and then killing him (Tate). Tate agrees.

Tate and Violet begin kissing. It's obvious that both are in love. They start stripping down until they're wearing no clothes at all. We to Kyle and Zoe, who are also tearing each others clothes off, as they make out. We cut back to the newly engaged couple as begin having sex. We back to Kyle and Zoe, who are also now having sex. We cut to black.

We reopen to after Tate and Violet have finished having sex. They've both just come out of the shower, which they shared. Violet and Tate both get changed into new clothes (Violet brought spare clothes, as she's staying over at Tate's house). Violet asks if they can tell Constance (Tate's mother) and Hugo (Tate's father). Tate says yes. The happy couple go downstairs to tell Tate's parents the happy news, but find nothing.

Suddenly, the basement door creaks open. Tate looks worried, and grabs two knives from the kitchen. He passes one to Violet, and keeps one for himself. They head for the basement, where they find Constance with a knife stabbed into her eye and Hugo with his scalp cut off. Constance and Hugo Langdon, parents of Tate Langdon, are dead. Tate bursts into tears and falls to his knees. Violet screams at the sight of her murdered soon-to-be in-laws.

Suddenly, Violet's phone rings. She realises that the caller must be Ghostface. She answers and asks why they killed Tate's parents. Ghostface admits that he wanted to ruin their (Tate and Violet's) happiness. Ghostface also admits that they don't plan on killing Tate yet, but they will. Violet tells Ghostface that she'll kill them before they get the chance. Ghostface challenges Violet to a fight, at the abandoned hospital, in an hour. Violet accepts the challenge. Ghostface tells Violet that if he finds a single weapon on her, then Misty and Tate die, he also says the same thing about if Violet doesn't come alone. Violet tells Ghostface that she'll see him there and hangs up. Tate looks at Violet like she's a crazy bitch.

We cut to twenty minutes later, Zoe, Kyle, Chad, Valentina and Patrick arrive at the Langdon house, as well as John and several other cops, who are taking Constance and Hugo's bodies away. John tells the teenagers to call if they hear anything from the killer. Tate goes to tell John about Violet going to meet Ghostface, but Violet stops him. Zoe, Valentina, Kyle, Chad and Tate try and plead with Violet not to go. Violet insists that she's going, as she might be able to stop the killings. Patrick tells everybody that if Violet wants to go on a suicide mission, then they should just let her. Chad, Tate and Zoe give Patrick a death stare. Violet tells Tate that if it keeps him safe, then she is going to do this, and there's nothing he can do to stop her. Tate and Violet hug. Tate makes Violet promise that she won't die tonight. Violet promises, before kissing Tate goodbye.

We cut to the abandoned hospital, where Ghostface is waiting for Violet. Suddenly, Spalding enters the room. He asks Ghostface if he should 'prepare for tomorrow'. Ghostface nods, causing Spalding to leave the room. Moments after Spalding leaves, Violet appears. She tells Ghostface that she's here, and calls him a 'dick'. Ghostface runs up to Violet and punches her in the stomach. Before the fight continues, we cut to black.

### Happiness Doesn't Last (Part 2)

We open immediately where the last episode left off. Ghostface punches Violet in the stomach. Violet kicks Ghostface in the face, and tries to kick him in the stomach, but Ghostface grabs her leg and throws her to the ground. He climbs on top of Violet and begins strangling her. Violet punches Ghostface in the throat, causing him to fall off her. Violet climbs on top of Ghostface and begins repeatedly slamming his head on the ground. Upon realising that there's a chance that Violet might win this fight, Ghostface kicks Violet in the groin, causing her to fall off him, in pain. He then kicks her in the stomach twice. He also kicks her in the face.

Ghostface stops kicking Violet and waits for her to get back up, and when she does, he goes to punch her in the face, but she dodges it. Violet punches Ghostface in the face twice, knocking Ghostface backwards. Ghostface jumps back up and trips Violet up. Instead of continuing their fight, Ghostface walks away, leaving Violet on the ground, injured. However, Violet gets up and jumps on top of him. She punches Ghostface repeatedly in the face, until she hears a crack; Ghostface's nose is broken. Ghostface, who has his voice modulator activated, screeches from the pain and tries to push Violet off him, but fails, as she continues punching him all over. Suddenly, Violet falls to the ground. It's revealed that Spalding knocked her out with a candlestick.

Spalding asks if he should finish her off. Ghostface says no. He says goodbye to Spalding, before running out of the building. Spalding leaves Violet, and returns to wherever he came from. We cut to around twenty minutes later, when Violet awakens. She finds gets up and looks around. She realises that there's nobody around. She considers looking for Ghostface, but decides to leave instead. Violet walks out of the abandoned hospital.

We cut to the Harmon house, where Cordelia, Misty, Fiona, and all of Violets friends (Tate, Kyle, Zoe, Valentina, Chad and Patrick) are waiting for Violet. Violet arrives home, bruised and bloodied. Her friends and family hug her. Cordelia tells Violet that although she's glad that she is safe, she shouldn't have gone to fight Ghostface, alone. Violet apologises. Cordelia reveals that Ghostface called her, threatening to reveal her secrets. Violet asks her mother what secrets she's keeping. Cordelia admits that she isn't ready to reveal them yet, but will soon. We cut to black.

We reopen the next morning, where Cordelia is having breakfast with her children and mother. Fiona reveals that she's decided to keep the school closed for today, due to the murders, but it will resume tomorrow. Violet says okay. Violet receives a text from Tate, asking if they can meet in an hour. Violet responds with "Yes".

We cut to the abandoned hospital, where Ghostface and Spalding are talking. It's revealed that there are two people tied to chairs in front of them; these people are Chad and Patrick, who beg to be let go. Ghostface laughs, revealing that they're going to play a game, before he lets them go. They ask what the game is. Ghostface reveals that the game they're going to play is something they've probably played before; Would You Rather. Ghostface reveals that one of them won't make it out alive today. This causes Chad and Patrick to become terrified. Patrick shouts at Chad, blaming him for this. Chad asks how this is his fault. Patrick shouts that if Chad had just listened to him, about leaving Violet's friend group, then they wouldn't be in this mess.

Ghostface tells them to "shut the fuck up", threatening to kill them both if they don't. Ghostface tells Patrick that he's going first. Ghostface asks Patrick if he'd rather sacrifice Chad, or be raped with a power drill, before dismembered and gutted. Patrick sobs that he can't answer this. Ghostface starts counting down from 5. When he gets to 1, Patrick shouts to Chad that he's sorry, but he chooses to sacrifice him. Ghostface turns to Chad, and if he'd rather die the same way he asked Patrick, or be suffocated with cockroaches. Chad is horrified by both choices. Ghostface says he'll be generous, but counting from 10, instead of 5. When Ghostface reaches 4, Chad says he'd rather be suffocated by cockroaches. Ghostface tells Chad that it was a good choice. Patrick shouts to Chad that he's sorry.

Ghostface goes to grab Chad, but grabs Patrick instead. It's revealed that he planned on killing Patrick anyway, even if he chose to sacrifice Chad, which he did. Patrick screams for Ghostface to get off him. Spalding comes running up with the same candlestick he knocked Violet out with. He hits Patrick over the head with it, causing him to fall unconscious. Ghostface unties Patrick and drags him over to an old autopsy table, which he ties Patrick too. He then opens a jar of syrup, which he pours into Patrick's mouth. He starts slapping Patrick across the face, causing him to wake up. Patrick tries to get up, but realises that he's tied up. He shouts "where am..", but before he finishes, Ghostface pours the cockroaches over him. Patrick begins shouting for help. Chad tries to shout for Patrick to close his mouth, but it's revealed that Spalding gagged him.

All of the cockroaches go to Patrick's mouth, due to them being attracted to the sugar. The cockroaches go into his mouth and down his throat. Patrick starts to choke on the cockroaches. He tries to break free, but can't, due to being tied very tightly. Patrick stops breathing and goes limp. Patrick Anderson, boyfriend of Chad Warwick, is dead. Chad vomits at Patrick's death, but because of the gag, not all of it comes out. Spalding removes Chad's gag, causing all of the rest of the vomit to flow out. He then begins screaming and crying, much to Ghostface and Spaldling's amusement. After 30 seconds, Spalding knocks him out with the candlestick and unties him. Ghostface tells Spalding to drive to Violet's house and dump Chad outside. Spaldling leaves, and so does Ghostface. We smash to black.

### Traumatising

We open to Valentina's house, where she's on her computer. Violet and Zoe are sitting at the side of her. Violet asks Valentina if she's sure that she's heard the name 'Ghostface' before. Valentina says that she thinks so. She googles Ghostface, which causes her to find an article, titled 'The Lakewood Murders'. Zoe and Violet look at each other, worried.

Valentina sees that there were a total of 3 killing sprees in Lakewood, set over two years, by a killers who went under the alias, Ghostface. The article says that there were four killers in total, Piper Shaw, her boyfriend, Kieran Wilcox, Kevin Duval and Sasha Anderson, who murdered and posed as her twin sister, Maggie Duval, at the start of the third killing spree. It's revealed that there were only two survivors in total; Brooke Maddox and Noah Foster, who recently got married to one another.

We cut to the Harmon house, where Misty is secretly watching a movie. We cut to inside the movie, where we see a mother and son, who's around age 7, taking cookies out of the oven. The young boy tells his mother that the cookies smell lovely, before asking if his mother would like to be the first to try them. The boys mother smiles, but tells her son that the cookies would still be too hot. The young boy doesn't understand this, and assumes that his mother is rejecting him. The boy begins crying, causing his mother to pick up a cookie and start eating it, making her son stop crying.

After the mother has finished eating the cookie, she tells her son that it was delicious, but they should save the rest for later. However, before the mother finishes her sentence, she begins foaming and bleeding from the mouth; she's having a seizure. The mother manages to mutter the words 'get help', but her son doesn't. He begins laughing instead. The son opens a drawer and takes out a tub, before reading the name of it; rat poison. Despite only being young, this young boy knew how to murder.

Due to hearing Cordelia shouting Misty's name, Misty turns the TV off. Cordelia enters the room, carrying Chad, who is bloodied and bruised (Spalding dropped him on the pavement outside the Harmon house). She asks him what happened. Chad tells her what happened, leaving Cordelia shocked. Cordelia calls the police, and then Violet.

We cut to cops and reporters swarming the abandoned school, due to Patrick's death. We cut to John, who is driving to there. Suddenly, he sees Spalding in the road. Not wanting Spalding to die, John swerves his car and crashes into a lamp post. John's fate is unknown.
We cut to the Harmon house, where Violet, Zoe, Kyle, Tate and Valentina are comforting Chad. Chad is depressed over Patrick's death. Violet asks Chad what happened. Chad tells them what happened, causing everybody to gasp. Zoe asks Chad how he could be sad, despite how Patrick choose to sacrifice him. Chad doesn't have an answer. Cordelia walks in the room, and tells everybody that she thinks it's time to reveal her secret; she has a third child, Violet's twin sister. Violet is shocked to hear this. Suddenly, Violet's phone begins ringing; it's the unknown number that the killer calls on.

Violet answers, only to hear Ghostface tell her that he has Misty. We cut to Ghostface, who is revealed to actually be Spalding, who's using the voice modulator, while dressed in a Santa costume. He hangs up the call and walks into the room that he has Misty tied up in. It's obvious that this place is NOT the abandoned hospital. Misty asks the strange man (Spalding) where she is, and asks why he's dressed as Santa. Spalding tells Misty that they're at a barn, as he had to improvise, due to the cops being at the abandoned hospital. He tells Misty that he's dressed as Santa because it's nearly Christmas, and he's feeling the Christmas spirit.

He asks Misty if she knows the only difference between him (Spalding) and the real Santa. Misty doesn't realise who Spalding is, so she says she doesn't know. Spalding tells Misty that there's only one difference between him and the real Santa, before asking if she knows what it is. Misty says she doesn't know. Spalding tells Misty, a 12 year old, that the only difference between him and Santa is that the real Santa only comes once a year. Misty is confused what this means. Spalding tells Misty that he'll show her what it means. He proceeds to strip Misty naked. Misty asks Spalding what he's doing. Spalding ignores Misty, and begins raping her, a 12 year old.

Misty cries and screams, as the old man takes her virginity. Spalding loves the sound of Misty's misery. He starts singing the 'Hush Little Baby' lullaby to her, as he continues raping her. We cut to the Harmon house, where Violet, Cordelia, Fiona and Violet's friends are all worried for Violet. Suddenly, Violet gets a text from the killer, revealing Misty's location; it's obvious that the texter is NOT Spalding, but Ghostface, who isn't happy that Spalding is raping a child.

We cut back to the barn, where Spalding is still raping Misty. Violet, Cordelia, Fiona and Violet's friends come bursting in. Cordelia sees Spalding raping her daughter and loses it. She runs up and jumps on top of the older man, who tackles her to the ground. He pulls out a gun and shoots Cordelia in the chest. Fiona cries out for Spalding to stop hurting her daughter and grand-daughter. Spalding attempts to shoot Fiona in the head, but Misty pushes him, causing the gun to drop. As Violet, Zoe, Tate and Violet launch after the gun, in order to stop Spalding from getting it, Fiona attends to both Cordelia and Misty. Zoe grabs the gun and passes it to Violet, as Tate and Kyle hold Spalding. Violet considers shooting Spalding, but decides that it's best to let him rot in jail.

Spalding smiles, and tells Violet that his partner will help him escape, so him going to prison is the least of his worries. He pulls out a knife that he had hidden and stabs Tate in the stomach. Spalding stabbing Tate, and Spalding revealing his plans of escaping prison, makes Violet shoot him in the chest. She drops the gun and runs over to her mother and sister. Spalding is revealed not to have died and grabs the gun, aiming it at Zoe, thinking she's Violet. Kyle jumps on top of him, and begins fighting him. This causes Spalding to drop the gun. To everybody's surprise, Misty grabs the gun. She calls Spalding an asshole, before shooting him in the head. Spalding, Ghostface's helper, is dead. We cut to black.

### Revelations

We open to two weeks later, Cordelia has recovered from being shot, Tate has recovered from being stabbed, but Misty is struggling, due to being raped. Misty has nightmares and hallucinations of Spalding; It's obvious that she's suffering from PTSD. Violet is comforting her suffering sister, trying to help her fall asleep. Misty asks if the 'scary man' is gone. Violet reassures Misty that the 'scary man' is gone, this makes Misty close her eyes. Violet tells Misty that she'll be right next to her, and gets into Misty's bed and closes her eyes. The Harmon sisters fall asleep, next to each other. Cordelia walks in the room to check on them. She smiles when she sees that they're asleep.

We cut the the sheriff's station, where the sheriff is getting into his car. Suddenly, he is hit over the head with a candlestick. We see that his attacker is Ghostface. As the sheriff hits the floor, Ghostface continues to bash his head in. The sheriff tries to reach for the killer's mask, but dies before he can. The Sheriff of Roseland is head. We cut to black.

We open to next morning, where Violet, Zoe, Tate, Kyle, Chad and Valentina are talking about the sheriff's murder, and that Ghostface must be back to finish what he started. The teenagers share a group hug. We cut to Roseland Hospital, where it's revealed that John survived the car crash caused by Spalding, and is getting out today. It's revealed that John has been promoted, from detective, to sheriff, to replace the sheriff who was murdered last night.

We cut to Ghostface at the abandoned school. We see that he has a wall of photos of the remaining characters. Ghostface draws circles around a few of the photos, but we don't see who he circles. We cut to Chad's house, where he's just arrived home. He calls out for his parents, but doesn't get a response. He goes into the kitchen and finds the words "GO UPSTAIRS" written in blood, on the wall. He grabs a kitchen knife and runs upstairs. While looking for his parents, Chad gets a text from Ghostface, telling him to look in the closet in his bedroom, which he does. Chad opens the closet, only to find Ghostface inside. Ghostface tries to stab Chad, who slams the closet door on him. Chad runs downstairs and into the basement, where he's greeted by a second Ghostface, who tries to decapitate Chad with a machete. Chad runs tries to run back out of the basement, but is pushed back down the stairs by Ghostface #1. Chad falls unconscious.

We cut to twenty minutes later, when Chad awakens from being unconscious. He finds himself with both killers standing over him. Chad screams at the sight of the two killers. Ghostface #1 tells Ghostface #2 that since he (#2) got to take out the sheriff, he (#1) gets to be the one who takes out Chad, who screams for the killers to spare him, and take Valentina or Zoe instead. Ghostface #1 stamps on Chad's head and tells him the 'shut the fuck up'. Chad spits blood at Ghostface #1 and tells him to 'fuck yourself'. The Ghostfaces nod at each other in agreement. #2 passes #1 a fireplace poker, which #1 uses to repeatedly bash Chad with, but not until death. #1 nods at #2 again, which caused #2 to pull turn Chad over and pull his trousers down. Chad begs for the killers to leave him alone, but they ignore him. #1 slams the fireplace poker into Chad's butt, causing him to shriek and squeal from the pain.

Ghostface #1 leaves the fireplace poker inside Chad and nods to #2 once more. The Ghostfaces pick Chad up, and turn him over. They drop him on the floor, causing the fireplace poker to impale right through Chad, who is in complete agony. #2 hands #1 a machete, which #1 uses to dismember both of Chad's legs. Chad, who is pretty much dead now, begs for the killers to finish him off. The Ghostfaces are pleased with how they've made Chad want to die. Ghostface #1 places a washcloth of Chad's face. #2 leaves the room with a large bucket, and returns a few moments later, with the bucket filled with water. He passes the bucket to #1, who pours the water over Chad, waterboarding him. #1 has a change of heart, and allows #2 to finish Chad off, for being such a great accomplice.

Ghostface #2 thanks #1 and then picks up the machete that #1 used to dismember Chad. He slams the machete into Chad's face, before dragging it down, so it cuts through his throat too. Chad Warwick, boyfriend of the late Patrick Anderson, is dead.

We cut to the Harmon house, where the remaining characters, minus Cordelia are mourning Chad, and everybody else they've lost. Just then, Violet's phone begins ringing; it's the killer. Violet asks Ghostface what he wants. Ghostface tells Violet that it's time they end this, and that she should come to the abandoned school, with no weapons, otherwise Cordelia dies. The call ends. This news horrifies Violet, who tells everybody about what Ghostface said over the phone. Zoe points out that Ghostface said not to bring weapons, but didn't say anything about people, therefore Zoe is going with her. Tate, Valentina and Kyle say the same. Fiona says that she'll stay here (the Harmon house) and keep an eye on Misty, to keep her safe.

We cut to the abandoned hospital, where Cordelia is tied to a chair. She is bleeding in several places; it's obvious that Ghostface had beat her up before tying her to the chair. The characters, Violet, Zoe, Kyle, Tate and Valentina, walk in the building. They decide to split up into groups. Violet is with Tate, Zoe is with Kyle and Valentina. The teens go off in their groups, looking for either Ghostface or Cordelia.

Ghostface appears and jumps Zoe, Kyle and Valentina. He knocks out Kyle and Valentina, but when he goes to knock Zoe out, she punches him in the face and escapes. Ghostface chases Zoe into a the old operating room. Ghostface looks for Zoe, who seems to have vanished.

We cut to Violet and Tate, who find the room which Cordelia is tied up in. Violet runs up to his mother and hugs her. Suddenly, Tate is knocked out by Ghostface, who points his knife at Violet. Violet tells Ghostface that it's time that he unmasks himself. Ghostface, using his modulator, tells Violet that he agrees. He pulls down his cloak, and then pulls off his mask, shocking Violet and Cordelia. Ghostface is...

ZOE BENSON! Zoe asks Violet and Cordelia if they're surprised, but interrupts before they answer, revealing she already knows they are, by the looks on their faces. Violet asks Zoe if she (Zoe) is her (Violet's) sister. Zoe confirms this, revealing that Cordelia abandoned her, so Violet could get the better life. Cordelia interrupts, stating that it isn't true, and that she was struggling financially when they (Zoe and Violet) were born, and she could only afford to keep one child. Zoe tells Cordelia to 'fuck yourself', before running up to her and slitting her throat. Cordelia 'Delia' Harmon, mother to Violet, Zoe and Misty, is dead.

Violet runs up to Zoe and tackles her to the group, causing Zoe to drop the knife. Violet begins strangling her. Zoe pushes Violet off her and asks if she (Violet) would do the same if she was in the same situation as her, and Cordelia had abandoned her (Violet). Violet shouts that she's not sick enough to murder somebody in cold blood. Zoe reminds Violet that she's just tried strangling her (Zoe) to death. Violet says she sees Zoe's point. Violet asks why Spalding helped her. Zoe reveals that Spalding was in love with her, and she used it to her advantage. Zoe tells Violet that now it's time for her to die. The two twin sisters begin fighting, and it's brutal. Kicks, punches, anything you can think of, it's happening. Zoe starts to get the upper-hand and starts strangling Violet. Violet tries fighting back but can't; she's been made to weak by Zoe strangling her. Suddenly, Tate appears behind Zoe and knocks her off Violet. He points Zoe's knife at her, threatening to kill her if she makes a single move.

Kyle comes in the room and sees that Cordelia dead, and that Tate pointing the knife at Zoe. Kyle, thinking that Tate is the killer, runs up to him and begins punching him. This causes the knife to fall. Violet shouts that Tate isn't the killer; Zoe is. Kyle stops punching Tate and apologises. He asks Zoe if it's true; that she's Ghostface. Zoe nods, confirming that it is true. She grabs the knife and slashes Kyle's chest, causing him to fall to the floor. Zoe threaten to kill whoever moves next. Suddenly, Valentina appears out of no where and attacks Zoe, causing her to drop the knife. Zoe and Violet both launch for it, but neither of them get it; Tate does. He stabs Zoe three times in the stomach, before passing the knife to Violet. He gives her the honours of finishing Zoe off. Violet takes the knife and points it at Zoe. She tells Zoe that she's going to rot in prison, before dropping the knife. Zoe laughs, revealing that she won't be. She pulls out a gun, which she points at Violet. She threatens to blow her head off, before shooting Violet in the chest. Seeing that Zoe shot Violet, Tate grabs the knife and slits Zoe's throat. Zoe Benson, sister of Violet and Misty Harmon, and daughter of Cordelia and Ben Harmon, is dead.

We cut to half an hour later. Violet and Kyle are being taken away in ambulences. Tate and Valentina are talking to John, and several reporters about what happened. Cordelia and Zoe's bodies are being taken away by the medical examiner and her team. It's finally over, or is it?
