## Plot

Skylar and Emily walkthrough Nelson, reminiscing of the previous events that happened while they were alive. “I’m sorry for killing you,” Skylar says. Emily responds, “It’s fine. We were reunited in the afterlife, but now that we’re back, we can live our lives together.”

The two cheer, and go to Skylar’s old home, where they come face to face with Tania. Tania is shocked at Skylar’s revival, and hugs them. Jennifer also sees this, and is confused as well. Skylar simply says, “Bryson and Yasmin.” Jennifer ignores this, and continues with their plan. Tania steps in to ask, “Wait, why do we need revenge anyway? Skylar is already here. I really don’t need to find revenge anymore.” Jennifer then snaps back, “I want revenge. You realize how much damage that group has caused to me in the past?” The three say no. Jennifer sighs and sits the three down for, “a Jennifer backstory.”

Over 10 years ago, Jennifer was a simple freshman at Nelson High. Her father, Javier Weston, was a simple SRO at Nelson High, and he suggested to her that she should attend the school. Jennifer made friends with Skylar, and later with Skylar’s partner, Emily. Skylar later introduced Jennifer to their little sister, a 7 year old Tania.

Jennifer later advanced to sophomore year, where her friendship with Skylar began to deteriorate. Jennifer began to notice Skylar changing, which began with them breaking up with Emily. A few weeks later, Jennifer found out about Emily’s murder, which shook her as she has never experienced or seen anything like it before. Later, she heard of Mal’s death, which began to arouse her suspicion. This suspicion turned into actual fear when she was forced to hide in a classroom during the Nelson Massacre, which she later found out was caused by Skylar.

While Bryson was solving the mystery, Jennifer herself was leading her own investigation alongside Tania, who was devastated to learn of Skylar’s death, and wanted revenge on whoever killed them. Jennifer was a witness to Katie’s killing of the assassin, and later found out about Evan’s death. Jennifer later witnessed Bryson’s exile, and his eventual return. This made Jennifer realize most crimes that have occurred were indirectly caused by Bryson.

Jennifer later learned of the Midnight Club and, looking to enact some revenge by infiltrating, joined the club to get closer to Bryson. The story ends as Jennifer is shown in her graduation, and back in her home. Skylar and Emily apologize for the trouble, but Jennifer responds, “No, it wasn’t you. It was Bryson. It was always Bryson.” The movie ends with The Revenge Group finding more utilities.
