**There are spoilers on this page! Continue with caution...**

**Eva Gutowski** was invited by Joey Graceffa to attend a dinner party hosted at his Estate in the 1920s and given the role of *The Journalist*. Upon her arrival, she witnessed Sarah drag a corpse into another room. She was chosen by Lele Pons to be her partner in the Ungodly Machine Challenge and successfully saved her. Eva later campaigned heavily against Matt Haag after he accidentally killed Sierra Furtado. Her unusually extreme behavior resulted in her being voted into the War Front Challenge against Timothy DeLaGhetto.

After she won the Russian Roulette, Eva was chosen by Oli White to be his partner in the Ring Toss Challenge. She went up against Joey and won, killing Lele in the process. Eva then learned that Arthur was in league with The Evil and worked to free his brother in order to perform the Binding Ritual once and for all. She was one of the three survivors who buried the Cursed Artifacts and returned to the present era.

Eva was later invited by Joey, unaware that he was being controlled by the Sorceress, to attend a masquerade ball in the Victorian Era. She ultimately decided not to attend and burnt her invitation.

## Role

### **Season 1**

#### ***Episode 1 - An Invitation***

Eva along with 9 others were invited to a party by their friend Joey Graceffa at his estate that he had acquired from a distant relative's death and they must dress up in 1920's clothing and take on a persona and must not be carrying anything from the modern world on them or the car that will take them across time will not appear.

After arriving at the party, Eva begins to talk with the other guests until Joey Graceffa comes down the stairs and asks them what they think of the house, Eva and the others start cheering and clapping. He then explains saying he got the house from his second cousin twice removed after their death. He then tells them about the staff that came with the house who are Arthur head of staff, Sarah the maid, and Marvin the groundskeeper. He then tells them to have some drinks Eva is seen playing darts with Shane Dawson and then he asks her if they are allowed to look around so she ends up agreeing to go with him. They continue to play darts then Joey Graceffa comes and asks them how their game is then Shane Dawson asks if they can look around then Joey Graceffa tells them no and to just stay down on the first floor and dinner's almost ready. He then rings a gong and they enter the dining room however while everyone else is going to the dining room Shane Dawson and Eva go upstairs and see Sarah the maid drag a dead body across the floor then Shane Dawson and Eva are shocked they then leave and go back downstairs and everyone is wondering where they went Eva then comes up with an excuse saying she was in the bathroom. Suddenly Shane Dawson gets a note from Arthur saying he has been poisoned and that the sign of his cult Society Against Evil will lead them to their clues and there are 3 antidotes on the first floor if they can find them he will be saved they have 15 minutes. Then Matt Haag finds a board near the window with the Society Against Evil sign on it with one glass on it and then everyone starts putting glasses in they eventually find the right glasses and a chest opens up GloZell Green noticing this starts screaming they need to find the 3 keys to get 3 antidotes then they split up;

Joey Graceffa tells them he wants to know who poisoned him and then GloZell Green claims it could have been Eva because she was the last one with her. Then Eva begins to be sad that her friends would believe she would kill Shane Dawson. Then GloZell Green says that maybe he might off done it because Shane Dawson has more followers than him so Joey Graceffa would want to kill him. Then 15 minutes is up and Shane Dawson dies. Then everyone begins to blame Eva because she was the last one seen with him before he came back. Then they begin to look through Shane Dawson's jacket and find a note saying,

"My killer is not who you might think it is it's the house itself Which is possessed of an ancient evil that has locked it in time. I came here tonight to destroy it. I am a member of a secret organization known as the Society Against Evil. We've been battling this wicked force for centuries. There are four Artifacts that the evil has hidden behind a series of puzzles and clues. If they can be gathered and a binding ritual performed, the evil will be locked away. However, to complete the final task to retrieve each Artifact, the group must vote on two people who must undertake a dark challenge. Tragically one of them will die. But to help you along the way, the Society Against Evil has marked the clues with their symbol. You have until sunrise to recover the Artifacts before you are trapped here forever. What lies ahead will not be easy but I'm afraid you'll have no other choice if you wanna get back to 2016. Then Joey Graceffa says that instead of collecting the Artifacts instead we should leave he has a car that can get them out of here they then begin to walk outside towards the car. Suddenly, the car blows up, terrifying everyone.

When the group is distracting the guardian, Eva is shown to work very well with Joey Graceffa and Oli White (foreshadowing?).

She cheers louder for Oli, and many times was the only one encouraging him verbally ("But you're going to know how to juggle today, 'cause you're going to survive." or "He made, like, one!") Later, she says, "I gotta cheer for Oli," and does.

#### ***Episode 6 - Did Someone Call For An Exorcist?***

After recovering all four Artifacts (resulting in Andrea Brooks, Justine Ezarik, and GloZell Green's deaths) they are ready to perform the ritual and escape the 1920s. Arthur then gives them the ritual from Shane Dawson's jacket. Which should bind the evil and release the house from the evil allowing them to leave the 1920s. They then begin to construct what is required for the ritual. Eva then reads

"The ritual symbol must be drawn in ash and sand seven feet on each side from the center point. Three of the Artifacts must be placed onto the marked points of the symbol. The fourth Artifact must be placed in the center of the inner triangle. One must sit in the center triangle and wrap the black cord around the fourth Artifact seven times, while another recites the binding and location. Suddenly everyone including Eva begins to ask Sierra Furtado to go into the triangle saying she hasn't done much, to be honest. They then perform the ritual and after doing it an evil laugh begins and Eva and the others realize that they haven't done it correctly. Suddenly Joey Graceffa and Timothy Delaghetto go by the fireplace and find a black box they open it and find a key and another clue. It tells them that there is someone else in the estate and he's trapped in the basement they go down and Eva enters first after they go in he tells them not to come any closer he then tells them to weaken the evil they need to release five former owners. He tells them he needs his cross to be released due to him being one of the former owners he then says they need to perform an exorcism to get the cross. Eva along with the others begins to protest.

They then have to vote for two people to perform the exorcism in a twist Matt Haag volunteers then the people voted in our Sierra Furtado and Matt Haag after Matt Haag gets back from the basement without Sierra Furtado due to her convulsing and dying.

After they return the cross to the Priest he gives Eva and the group his journal on his observations of the other owners. They then put the artifacts away and have to find the 4 other owners. Matt Haag then starts saying it's useless they are all going to die and that they are never going to leave the house.
