## Synopsis

**PROM NIGHT GOES HAYWIRE** — The Group attend prom, but it goes wrong when someone snaps and plans something.

## Plot

The Midnight Club meets to discuss new racing tactics. Bryson begins, “Okay, I’d say we’re pretty good at everything, right? How about we take these techniques, and ask out some people to prom? There’s no penalty for this. It’s simply a suggestion. Now, let’s head outside and see what you guys can still do.” Kaleb manages to crash into multiple different obstacles, which damages his car severely. Jennifer impresses him, and makes it through the course. Bryson awards Jennifer, and Kaleb is smitten by her. Bryson invites Katie to Prom, which she happily accepts. Yasmin hopes to be invited, but decides to go with Sabrina and Kayla as a group together. Kaleb asks out Jennifer, but is rejected. Kaleb then tries to go through the course again, but fails once again, and lands in the hospital from the injuries. Jennifer tells him, “Don’t injure yourself just because you want me.” The night of the dance, Bryson drives himself, Katie, Yasmin, Sabrina and Kayla to the dance. Kaleb stays home, but does go through his stuff. He finds a box, and opens it. Katie excuses herself to the bathroom, and Bryson and Yasmin talk. Bryson asks, “This is it. Our final dance.” Yasmin agrees, saying, “You think this will be it? You tell Katie about us?” Sonia then appears behind them, supposedly oblivious as to what they’re talking about. “Hey!” Sonia says. “How’s the night going? Any drugs? Cocaine? Beer!? I’m kidding, I’m here to have fun!” She leaves, with both Bryson and Yasmin looking at each other with a slight laugh. Kaleb secures a duffel bag. A weapon falls out, with Kaleb picking it up and putting it in the bag. He then heads outside, gets in his car, and drives to Nelson High. Yasmin, Sabrina and Kayla take pictures, when the music is interrupted and changed (“The Night We Met”). Yasmin’s smile suddenly goes away, as the song reminds her of Angela. Sabrina and Kayla try to comfort her, but Yasmin walks to the middle of the dance floor. Bryson and Katie see her, and Bryson realizes why she’s like this. Bryson approaches her, and hugs her. Katie sees this, and does the same. Sabrina, Kayla, Kendra and Alex join the hug. As he drives to the school, Kaleb is reminded of the Midnight Club, how he failed the course, and how he was rejected by Jennifer. This makes him mad, and manages to cut through a grass section, successfully drifting. Kaleb is amazed, but thinks, “The plan. It must go into motion.” Jennifer receives a text message from Kaleb, who shows the message to Bryson, who freaks out. The Group talks logistics, and how to deal with Kaleb. Bryson says, “Screw it,” before heading outside to attempt to confront Kaleb. Kaleb arms himself, and prepares to head inside when Bryson walks out. Kaleb yells, “Go home Bryson! You don’t want to be here!” Bryson tries to calm him down, but Kaleb is adamant on his plan. Bryson then gets curious. “Kaleb,” he asks. “Do you feel yourself right now?” Jennifer walks out, and when Kaleb sees her, he puts the gun down. Yasmin and Katie walk out just as Kaleb falls to the ground. The Dark Lord suddenly appears out of him, holding Kaleb. Bryson yells, “Leave him alone. He has nothing to do with this!” The Dark Lord simply says, “My plan is complete.” He then brutally murders Kaleb by cutting off his body parts. Everyone is horrified, and The Dark Lord says, “I can use these pieces to rebuild the God Box! I can rule the universe once again!” Bryson asks, “What do you mean? You’ve literally killed one person.” “Oh simpleton. You clearly don’t understand. Kathy’s murders she caused, her own death, Angela’s, Melissa’s, you killing David, and now Kaleb’s, all fueled me with power. I am now the strongest being in all the universe, and there’s nothing you can do about it!” The Dark Lord levitates over Nelson High as Jennifer mourns Kaleb’s death.
