### Out Of The Shadows

The season opens up to Hunter Ramsey, and his new boyfriend, Tyler Curtis, sitting in Hunter's car, parked outside of Tyler's parent's mansion. Hunter tells Tyler that car sex with him is always good. Tyler laughs and then tells Hunter that he needs to use the bathroom, and for Hunter to go wait in the hot tub. They both exit the car, with Hunter locking it behind them. They both walk into the mansion, hand in hand.

Just after Tyler has unlocked the front door, he and Hunter both walk in. Tyler picks up a remote from the side cabinet, which he uses to turn music on with. He then tells Hunter that he's just going to pop to the bathroom, and he'll be back in a moment.When alone, Hunter begins to undress and change into shorts while waiting for his boyfriend to return. He then walks through the large and well-furnished kitchen and out of the backdoor. The motion-detecting lights turn on as they sense Hunter's movement. The lights reveal numerous lounge chairs, a swimming pool and a hot tub.

While slowly walking towards the hot tub, wearing nothing but shorts, Hunter sees the steam coming from the heated hot tub. Hunter sits at the edge of the hot dip and dips his feet in the water. Hunter decides to get into the hot tub. He sits his phone next to where he was sitting and he climbs up to his feet and walks down the steps.

Suddenly, the motion-detecting lights shut off, which makes Hunter turns back around to grab his phone. He texts Tyler, asking if that was him. He gets an instant reply from Tyler, telling him that might have been him, also in the text, Tyler asks if this is where it gets interesting. A smile forms on Hunter's face. He replies to Tyler, confessing that he wants Tyler to come join him

Hunter seductively watches the backside of the house, hoping that Tyler will show his face. He slowly turns around and almost sinks into the water, resting against the wall of the hot tub. As his phone alerted him of another text message, Hunter picks up the phone from the edge of the hot tub, unlocking it to see what see what it said. In the text, Tyler tells Hunter that he's killing him, metaphorically. Hunter is satisfied from reading this. Hunter tells Tyler to get over here and do something about it.

Suddenly, Hunter hears noises coming from the bushes, this makes Hunter look confused. He shouts to whoever's in the bushes, telling them that he's not having sex in a bush. He thinks it's Tyler. He gets another text from Tyler, asking him to come and find him. Hunter climbs out of the hot tub. He walks over to the bushes where he could hear the noises, but there's nothing there. He turns around, only to be greeted by Tyler, who is alive and well. Tyler tells Hunter that he has a surprise set inside for him.

Tyler takes Hunter by the hand and they begin walking inside. Suddenly, Tyler hears a noise from behind. He turns around quickly, only to see an axe swinging at Hunter from behind. Tyler has a quick reaction and pushes Hunter out of the way. Hunter's attempted murderer then swings their axe at Tyler, decapitating him instantly. Tyler Curtis, the boyfriend of Hunter Ramsey is dead.

Hunter shrieks at witnessing his boyfriend's murder. He tries running away but the killer swings their axe at Hunter, dismembering his leg. Hunter's scream for help is blood-curdling. He tries to grab at the bloody stump that replaced where his leg once was. He screams as he feels the blood flowing out of him. He holds onto the bloody stump as he looks up, he screams again when he see's the killer approaching him. They're wearing the same outfit that Hayley and Sean wore during Season 1; the killer is dressed in the Nun in the Gas Mask outfit.

Hunter is devastated when he realises that the killer is back. The killer throws their axe and pulls out a traditional knife. The killer then slits Hunter's throat and then finishes him off by stabbing him in the head. Hunter Ramsey is dead.

We cut to a party that's being thrown in Oliver and Austin's apartment. Ava, Caleb, Nicole are attending. We are introduced to new characters who are also attending the party, Kaylee Westbrooke, Max Roberts, and Nicole's new boyfriend, Jason Giles. Oliver and Austin are still a couple, as well as Caleb and Ava, who have become a part of the friendship group. Nicole tells the group that she needs to pop to the bathroom quickly and that she'll be back in a moment.

The scene cuts to after the party has finished. Nicole is in her car and is about to drive home. Just then, her phone begins ringing. She realises that the caller is unknown, but answers it anyway. She says hello to her caller. The caller responds by asks how the party was. Nicole is confused, how did this person who that she was at a party. Nicole tells the caller that she's way too tired for prank calls, and goes to hang up. The caller demands Nicole not to hang up on them, as they were nice enough to wait until she was alone. Nicole asks the caller if they like being a creep. The caller admits that they like torturing her. They then tell Nicole that after what she did, she deserves the torture. Nicole has had enough, she ends the call and begins driving.

We cut to Ava and Caleb, they're looking for some excitement. They've just broken into the college so they can use the swimming pool. When inside the pool, they begin making out and undressing each other. Just then, they spot a familiar gas mask at the bottom of the pool. They're instantly creeped out by the mask and the moment wears itself out. They both climb out of the pool and re-dress themselves. They then leave. The camera stays looking over the swimming pool, it's revealed that the killer had also broken in, the gas mask that was in the pool, was actually a camera that filmed Ava and Caleb. The killer is annoyed that Ava and Caleb left before they could attack them.

We cut back to Oliver and Austin's apartment, where they're asleep together. Suddenly, Austin is woken up by the sound of his parents arguing. He goes to investigate and walks out the room, revealing him to be back inside the old house that he lived in with his parents. Austin sees his father standing on the top of the stairs, Ashley comes running up, begging him not to go to the police. Harry tells Ashley that the guilt is eating away at him. He tells Ashley how much he loves her, and reveals that he's going to take the full blame for Charlotte's murder, but before Harry even finishes the sentence, he goes flying down the staircase after being pushed by Ashley. Austin jerks awake, realising that it was a dream. Austin accidently woke Oliver up. Austin confesses to Oliver that he had another nightmare about the story that his mother told him before she handed herself in. Oliver comforts Austin as the scene cuts to black.

The scene cuts to Ashley's trial. She has just been found guilty of the murder of Charlotte Bennett and sentenced to twenty years in prison. The scene then switches to two prison guards, who're escorting Ashley to her cell. Inside the cell, Ashley notices the new killer, in the air vents above her. Ashley tries to warn the guards, who ignore her and accuse her of trying to play some elaborate trick on them.

Just then, the killer jumps out of the vent and slits the throat of the first guard. The second guard tries to run to safety as a reaction to this, but the killer manages to catch up to them. The killer repeatedly stabs the guard in the back. Both guards are dead. The killer then turns their attention to Ashley and tells her that they have plans for her. The killer picks up the guard's keys and walks over to Ashley's cell. The killer unlocks Ashley's cell door, before throwing her at the wall, which knocks her unconscious. The killer then puts Ashley over their back as they throw her into the vents. The killer then also climbs back inside the vents. The episode fades to black.

### Invasion

The episode opens up with a flashback, set during 1971. We see two female characters, named Shelby and Vera. They're both teenagers and are home alone while watching the movie, 'Psycho'.

Just then, a knock at the door leads a curious Shelby to go and see who it is. When Shelby looks through the peephole, she sees a man who has been wounded. He begs for help as he has just been attacked. An innocent Shelby lets the man in, so she can clean his wound. He reveals his name to be Arnold Montgomery.

While Shelby cleans the man's wound, she realises that she cannot find the source of the bleeding. Shelby tells Arnold about this. Just then, Arnold grabs and strikes Shelby with a nearby bowl, knocking her unconscious. This scares Vera, who tries to run for help. Arnold pulls out a gun and threatens to shoot Vera if she makes one more move.

Arnold forcefully drags Vera to the bathroom and forces her to fill the bathtub. Once the tub is full, he forces Vera to climb into the tub. He then holds Vera down under the water by the throat until she loses consciousness. Arnold, realising that it's going to take to long to hold her there until her brain runs out of oxygen and she dies, slits Vera's throat with a knife that he stole from downstairs. Vera's blood flows out and mixes with the water. Vera is dead.

The scene cuts back to Shelby, who is just awakening. Her arms and legs have been bound together. She sees Arnold standing in front of her. She begs Arnold for mercy and tells him that she is a virgin, believing that Arnold is about to rape her. Shelby closes her eyes and begins praying while she sobs.

After a few seconds, Shelby opens her eyes and sees that Arnold is gone. Shelby cries tears of happiness. Suddenly, Arnold appears above Shelby with a knife and begins repeatedly stabbing her in the back while she screams. Shelby is dead. The flashback ends.

The scene cuts back to today. We see Austin and Oliver, they are getting ready for college. Suddenly, Austin receives a text from Nicole, warning him to watch the news. Austin turns on the news and sees Sheriff Anthony Martinez, talking about the deaths of two prison guards and escape of Ashley.

Austin is infuriated by this, believing that Ashley is responsible for the death of the guards somehow and then broke herself out. Austin tells Oliver that he's going to stay home, just in case Ashley gets in contact. Oliver tells Austin that Ashley wouldn't be stupid enough to get in contact with the one person who the police know she would go to. Austin admits that what Oliver has just said makes more sense. They then leave for college.

The scene cuts to Nicole, who is also getting ready for college. Suddenly, her phone begins ringing; it's the killer, who she still believes to be a prank caller. Nicole answers and tells the caller to stop calling, or she'll call the police. The killer tells Nicole that if she does, her insides will end up on the outside.

The caller finally gains Nicole's attention. Nicole tells the killer that she and Austin killed her. The killer tells Nicole that she and Austin may have killed Hayley, but the Waldenwood Slasher isn't dead, and will never die.

Nicole asks the killer what they want. The killer reminds Nicole about her connection to Hayley and calls her a killer. The killer then asks Nicole if she's still going to call the cops. Nicole ends the call and throws her phone, under the realisation that she could be exposed.

The scene cuts to during college. We see Austin, Oliver, Kaylee, Max, Ava and Caleb all sitting in their Psychology class, which is being taught by a familiar face, Mrs Gemma Haywood, who moved onto teaching in the college. Austin looks across the room and notices a girl staring at him. Austin recognises the girl as the sheriff's daughter, Harper Martinez. Harper and Austin's exchange looks, before looking away from one another.

Austin sees Danielle sitting in front of him. He taps her on the shoulder and asks how her book with Hunter is coming. Danielle admits that they're she's currently suffering from writer's block, but should be up and running again soon. She admits that she hasn't heard from Hunter for a few days.

The bell to signal that the lesson has ended begins ringing. Austin slowly walks out of class, before turning back and asking Mrs Haywood if they can talk sometime about the murders and the revelation of his mother murdering somebody. Mrs Haywood recommends meeting at Monroe's Cafe at 8. Austin then leaves the room, while Mrs Haywood has an unsettling suspicious look on her face.

Just as Austin walks out of the class, he accidently bumps into his aunt, Jill Roberts, who is an English teacher at the college. Austin apologises and helps Jill pick up her stuff. Jill is reminded about Ashley and asks if Austin has heard anything yet. Austin admits that he hasn't heard anything, and doesn't want to either. Jill is confused after hearing this and asks Austin why.

Austin reveals that after Ashley handed herself in, she refused to let Austin come visit her, and then to top it all off, she murders the guards and escapes. Jill sees that Austin is hurting, and tells him that there has got to be some sort of explanation for this. The scene fades out.

The scene reopens to Oliver and Austin, who had just arrived home from college a few minutes ago. Just then, Oliver hears a knock at the door and he goes to see who it is. Oliver looks through the peephole and sees a redheaded woman outside. Oliver sees that the woman has been injured and is bleeding, in a similar fashion to the man from 1971. The woman demands help, so Oliver lets her in.

When Oliver opens the door, he sees the woman wearing a black mask. The woman intrudes into the bottom-floored apartment, which causes Oliver to shout for Austin. Austin comes running into the room and sees the masked woman. He demands her to get out.

Suddenly, a second intruder appears, but from inside a room inside the apartment. He climbed through an open window. A third intruder pushes appears through the front door which Oliver forgot to close.

All three intruders pull out knives and threaten Oliver to close the door and give their phones to them. The intruders force Austin and Oliver to sit in chairs, before tying them to the chairs with rope. The intruders then unmask themselves in front of a captive Austin and Oliver. There are two males and one female. Both do not recognise the trio standing before them.

The intruders reveal their plan to re-enact the 1971 murder of Vera and Shelby. The female intruder tells the other intruders that she has a surprise for them, and shows them the bowl that Arnold used against Shelby.

They tell Oliver that he is to take the role of Vera and be drowned in the bathtub, whereas Austin takes the role of Shelby. Two of the intruders, one male and one female, untie Oliver and walk him to the bathroom at knife-point. Austin shouts for Oliver.

The intruder standing in front of Austin recognises him as a survivor of the Waldenwood Slashing spree. The intruder tells Austin that it's a shame for him to survive, only to die.

The scene switches to Oliver inside the bathroom. His attackers are forcing him to change and put on the same outfit that Vera wore. Oliver asks them to turn around, and they do. Oliver quickly pulls down the pole that holds up the shower curtain. He then jumps at them with the pipe, knocking them both out.

Austin's attacker reveals they have an outfit that they want him to wear. It's the same outfit that Shelby wore. The rope that kept Austin tied to the chair is then untied by the intruder. He then hands Austin the outfit and demands for him to put it on.

The intruder holds Austin at knife-point. Austin begins to undress when he spots the bowl. He purposely drops Shelby's outfit and picks it back up, secretly picking up the bowl with it. Austin then faces his intruder and swings the bowl at him, bludgeoning him with it.

Austin races into the kitchen and grabs a butcher's knife. He then races into the bathroom, only to bump into Oliver. Suddenly, the killer jumps out of Austin and Oliver's bedroom.

The killer tackles Austin, taking the knife away from him. The killer then sees the intruders. With their voice modulator, the killer strangely tells Austin and Oliver to run. They do as the killer instructed.

The killer then walks into the bathroom and stabs both of Oliver's attackers to death. They then walk into the front room, only to find that Austin's attacker is gone. Austin's attack surprise attacks the killer and attempts to stab them with his own knife, but ultimately misses. The killer then slashes the man's throat, before finishing him off by gauging his eyeballs out.

The scene then cuts to much later in the night, the killer has just arrived at an unknown location. They walk up to Ashley, who they have bound to a chair with handcuffs. Both Ashley's hands and legs are restrained to the chair. The killer walks up to Ashley, and with their voice modulator, they tell her that her own son believes that she is responsible for killing the guards and escaping. Ashley sobs at hearing this. The killer walks up closer to Ashley and looks her in the tear-filled eyes. Suddenly, Ashley shrieks out in pain, revealing that the killer stabbed her in the leg with their knife. Smash to black.

### Haunted

The episode opens up to Austin and Oliver arriving outside somebodies house. Austin frantically knocks. Max answers the door, revealing this to be where he lives. Austin begs for Jill to call the police. Max sees that Austin and Oliver are both out of breath and takes them into his house.

Inside the Roberts' house, we're introduced to Shane Roberts, Max's father and Austin's uncle. Shane asks Austin and Oliver about what happened to them. They tell him about the home invasion, and then somebody dressed as the killer showed up and set them free. Shane looks confused and worried. Max begins calling the police while Shane tells Austin that he knew it wasn't safe for him to live alone yet.

Shane tells Austin and Oliver that his offer still stands, that they can still come and live there. Austin tells his uncle that they'll think about it later. Shane then asks Austin if he's heard from Ashley yet. Austin reveals that he hasn't. Suddenly, Austin pauses and thinks about something. He comes to a realisation that his and Oliver's saviour could have been Ashley.

The scene cuts to half an hour later, Jill has just arrived home later from work. She had papers to mark. She walks in and finds Austin, Oliver, Shane, Max and Sheriff Martinez sitting in the front room. Shane and Max stand up and take Jill into another room, so they can explain to her what happened.

Sheriff Martinez interviews both Austin and Oliver about what occurred earlier in the day. He tells the two lovers that if they killed the intruders in self-defence, it'd be okay. Austin and Oliver insist that they didn't, and were really saved by a person dressed in the Nun's outfit, with the gas mask. Sheriff Martinez sighs, realising that Ashley must be responsible. Sheriff Martinez pulls out his radio and calls out and APB on Ashley, wanting to track her down before she kills again. He then leaves.

Jill, Shane and Max then re-enter the room. Jill comforts hugs Austin and tells him that everything's going to be okay. She then suggests to Austin that he contacts his former therapist, Dr Jacob Carter, and scheduling an appointment for tomorrow. After hearing this, Austin is reminded that he's supposed to be meeting Mrs Haywood at 8, and it's quarter-to now. Jill offers to drive Austin to the cafe.

We cut to inside Jill's car, she's driving Austin to the cafe. Out of nowhere, Jill asks Austin if he really thinks his own mother could murder those prison guards and intruders. Austin confesses that he genuinely doesn't know anymore, as she's killed before. Jill looks worried. Austin is then reminded to call his former therapist and schedule an appointment for tomorrow. Flash to black.

The scene reopens to Austin and Mrs Haywood sitting in Monroe's cafe, the place where they'd arranged to meet. They've just ordered and are now sitting down while they wait for their coffee. They begin talking about how badly his hallucinations and nightmares have gotten since Hayley died.

He reveals that he keeps hallucinating Hayley, Sean and Nathan's burned-out corpse, as well as dreaming about them. Austin also admits that he has been struggling with the fact that his own wouldn't allow him to see her during her time in prison, and then broke out without warning. He also admits that he's started to believe that Ashley has fallen down the path of becoming a full blown sociopath and murdered her prison guards.

Mrs Haywood is about to tell Austin something when the barista call out that their order is ready. Mrs Haywood is about to stand up to collect the coffees, but Austin insists that he goes. As Austin walks up to the counter to grab their drinks, Mrs Haywood pulls out a secret audio recorder. It's revealed that she was recording their conversation.

Austin grabs the coffees and turns around to walk back to Mrs Haywood. Suddenly, he sees a woman who looks just like Hayley. He panics and screams 'Hayley!', he then accidentally drops the coffee, while everybody stares at him. Mrs Haywood comes over and comforts Austin. She reassures Austin that over time, he'll get better again. She also recommends doing whatever it takes to prove to himself that Hayley is dead.

Austin goes back to Shane and Jill's house. He asks Oliver if they can go for a drive. Jill tells Austin that they can borrow her car, as long as they don't damage it. We cut to Austin and Oliver arriving at the abandoned school.

They break in and walk to the room that Austin and Nicole killed Hayley in. Before going in, Austin asks Oliver to wait outside the room, as he feels as if this is something he should do alone. As soon as Austin enters the room, he begins hallucinating the killer. He sees the killer playing with a mangled corpse. The killer then points their knife at Austin.

He closes his eyes for a few seconds and then reopens them, revealing it to have just been another hallucination. Austin feels absolutely no different and leaves the room as the scene pans out.

The scene reopens to Austin and Oliver awakening in Shane and Jill's spare bedroom. Suddenly, Austin receives a call from Sheriff Martinez, who tells him that the apartment is no longer in use by the forensic team as they have collected all the evidence they need, so they're free to return.

Austin asks if they found any evidence that points Ashley to being there, Sheriff Martinez says they haven't, at least yet anyway. The call then ends. Suddenly, Shane walks in and tells Austin and Oliver that they're going to be late for college if they don't get ready.

We then cut to Sheriff Martinez, who is at home with his daughter, Harper. After Harper has left for college, Sheriff Martinez walks into his bathroom. In the bathroom, he looks in the mirror and sees the killer in the reflection. Before he can react, the killer shoves Sheriff Martinez's face into the mirror, causing the glass mirror to shatter. The killer then throws Sheriff Martinez to the ground.

Sheriff Martinez begs for his life as the killer picks up some of the glass from the mirror. The killer then repeatedly stabs and slashes Sheriff Martinez's back with the glass. Sheriff Anthony Martinez, season 1 survivor and father of Harper Martinez is dead.
The scene then cuts to in college, where Nicole is standing by her locker.

Just then, Jason walks up to Nicole and hugs her from behind, which scares her. She tells Jason not to do that, as he scared the life out of her. Jason tells Nicole that he is sorry. Suddenly, Nicole's phone begins ringing; it's the killer. She makes up that it's Austin and walks away from Jason.

Nicole answers the call and asks what the killer wants. The killer tells Nicole that she should be a better partner, as they're doing all the work. Nicole tells the killer that she isn't their partner. The killer reminds Nicole that she's a killer and that makes her a partner. Just as Nicole is about to end the call, the killer reveals that they're going to make their return known to everyone soon. The news shocks Nicole.

Suddenly, Nicole accidentally bumps into Lana Foster, who recognises her as the bad-ass who axed Hayley. Nicole thanks her and smiles. Lana asks if they can get a picture together, as Nicole is practically a celebrity in her book. They pose for a photo together. Lana tells Nicole that she feels that they're going to be friends.

The scene cuts to the auditorium, where Principal Arthur Daniels is giving a speech about the mid-term finals. He presses a button on his remote to play a video. The video runs smoothly when suddenly, the video is hijacked and replaced with a different one. In the new video, we see Hunter and Tyler being murdered, then we see Sheriff Martinez being murdered, next we see the prison guards being murdered. Finally, we see Ashley being abducted. Austin is in absolute disbelief when he sees this, realising that the murders are happening all over again and that he was wrong about his mother.

The scene switches over to Harper Martinez, who begins screaming a the sight of her father's murder on video. Smash to black.

### Think Fast

He jumps from his seat and out of the room, to the staircase; he has the intents of pushing the killer from the balcony. As Austin runs up the staircase, we see that Oliver, Nicole, Danielle, Max, Jill and Kaylee following him, all worried. As Austin reaches the balcony, he realises that the killer is gone. He swears to himself that he's going to make them pay. Suddenly, Austin receives a call from the killer. He answers and hears the killer, who sarcastically asks if Austin has missed them. Austin tells them to go to hell and ends the call. The scene cuts to black.

Austin then confesses that his sleeping has hit the rocks again. Dr Carter tells Austin to close his eyes and he does.

While Austin has his eyes closed, he begins to hear Hayley and Sean. He opens his eyes and sees both their corpses standing behind Dr Carter. Dr Carter notices that Austin is looking behind him, and he turns around. Suddenly, he is stabbed in the head by Hayley, which kills him instantly. After this, Austin falls back to reality, it was just a hallucination. Dr Carter tells Austin that he's going to start prescribing him anti-depressants again, to help with his sleeping. Austin leaves.

Moments after Austin has left, Mrs Haywood comes in. She reveals the news about how after being chased by the killer and fearing for her life, she became rather paranoid. Every time she would try to have sex with her husband, he would become rather anxious and paranoid, resulting in her pulling herself away. She then reveals that she caught her husband cheating on her one day, and they're marriage ended shortly after. She admits that after she split up with her husband, she dedicated her time to writing a book on the murders. The scene cuts to the abandoned school.

We see that Ashley is hanging upside down, and the killer is walking up to her. The killer surprises Ashley with an aluminium baseball bat. Ashley begins shouting for the killer to stop, but they don't. The killer begins repeatedly beating Ashley with the bat, causing her nose to break. The killer laughs at Ashley's suffering and begins mocking her. Ashley spits at the killer. Angered by Ashley spitting at them, the killer leaves the room.

Moments later, the killer returns with various different items. The killer places all of their items on a desk and picks up a sickle. The killer walks over to Ashley and slashes her face with the sickle, before cutting the rope, causing her to drop on her head. Ashley is knocked unconscious by this.

Ashley tries to punch the killer but ultimately fails when the killer dismembered her hand with the shears. Ashley's screams are hysterical.

The killer then picks up an old-fashioned torch, the type that you have to set fire to. Ashley sees the torch and screams. The killer laughs at her while they light the torch with a lighter. The killer then holds the fiery torch up to Ashley's bloody stump, cauterising it. The killer then tells Ashley that they have some work to do, before knocking her out and binding her to a chair. They lock her in the room with a key. Smash to black.

Sheriff Crane exits the car and the killer knocks him unconscious, explaining that they'll deal with him later on.

We reopen to Austin entering the abandoned school. Suddenly, the killer calls him and tells him to go into the room that he killed Hayley in. He runs to the room with the gun in hand. When Austin arrives at the room, he realises that the door to get into the room is locked. He asks the killer why they've locked the door. The killer tells Austin that they're savouring the moment.

Austin is told to walk to across the hall, so he does. He is told by the killer that if he wants Ashley back safe, he must shoot fast. The killer then hangs up and unlocks the door. Upon seeing a dark figure bursting through the door at him, Austin, assuming that it is the killer, repeatedly shoots, fatally injuring them. However, when Austin runs over to finish the killer off, he realises that he the killer shoved his Ashley out as a decoy, meaning that Austin had just fatally shot his own mother instead.

The killer reminds Nicole that she's a killer, not a victim. Nicole shouts 'fuck you' to the killer and hangs up. This catches the attention of Mrs Haywood, who stands up and comes over to see if Nicole is alright. Nicole admits that she's not. Mrs Haywood takes Nicole over to her table and comforts her.

Mrs Haywood asks Nicole if she'd like to talk about her problems, as she might be able to help. Nicole wants to confess her connection to Hayley but ultimately decides that it isn't a good idea. Nicole decides to talk about her relationship with Jason, and how it's falling apart. She makes up that she was just arguing with him over the phone. Mrs Haywood asks what seems to be the problem between them. Nicole admits that they're both distant from each other, and when one of them attempts to try to make things work, it backfires. Mrs Haywood advises Nicole to take some time and prepare something romantic in a place where it's only the two of them. Mrs Haywood then suggests that Nicole talks to Jason about their relationship and whatever happens, happens for a reason.

Mrs Haywood then reveals the news about her divorce and how she wishes she didn't wait around hoping that things would get better, only to catch him in bed with another woman. Mrs Haywood tells Nicole not to make the same mistakes that she made. The two continue to bond while the scene fades to black.

The scene reopens to Danielle. She is at her house with her new boyfriend, Rob Donovan, and new best friend, Kate McClain. They're all getting ready to watch Saw. Just then, Kate realises that she can strongly smell smoke coming from the front door. She goes to investigate, only to discover that the house is on fire. Danielle, Kate and Rob all run to the back door, only to discover that the fire is also covering there. Not wanting to die, the trio run up the stairs and into Danielle's bedroom. Danielle goes to open the window so they can escape, but as she starts, she realises that the killer is standing right outside and is watching them.

Rob tells the girls that they're going to have to try and find another way to escape. Danielle remembers about the garage, and how they could escape through there. The trio runs back down the stairs and into the garage, only to discover that it has been locked. Danielle sees Rob's car parked inside the garage and gets an idea. She tells him to give her the key and they all climb inside. Danielle starts the car and drives straight through the garage door, smashing through it. She doesn't stop driving when they're out.

Suddenly, Oliver hears a knock at the window. He turns around to see who it is, only to find the killer standing there, waving their knife at him. Oliver, forgetting about his popped tyres tries to drive off, but he instantly remembers. The killer goes over to the front of Oliver's car and climbs on the bonnet. They begin kicking in Oliver's windscreen, which causes Oliver to unlock the car and run for it as quick as he can.

Oliver looks back and sees that the killer is chasing him. Just then, he turns around and accidentally runs into the front of Kaylee's car. She stops before she runs him over. He bangs on the window and asks for her to call the police as the killer is here. Kaylee looks around and sees that there's nobody here, but she believes him regardless. Kaylee then tells Oliver to get in the car and she'll drive him to safety, where they can contact the police.

The scene cuts to Jeremy, who is sitting in the police interrogation room. Opposite him, is the acting sheriff, Tom Martin. Temporary Sheriff Martin asks Jeremy some questions about what he remembers before being knocked unconscious. Jeremy admits that he cannot remember anything at all, which makes Tom suspicious. Tom is under the impression that Jeremy went rogue and killed one of his own deputies as the murder weapon was in his hands, right next to the body. Just then, an officer knocks on the door. Tom tells them to come in. The officer reveals that they have pulled the CCTV footage from the crime scene and has been watched. The officer then tells Tom that the killer purposely put the gun in Jeremy's hand after knocking him unconscious. The officer leaves the room as Tom realises that he was wrong.

Just then, there's a knock at the door. Nicole answers the door, finding Jason there. Nicole asks how Jason knew she was here, as she hasn't told him yet. Jason tells Nicole that she texted him, he pulls out his phone and shows her. Nicole insists that she didn't send him that text, but she was actually about to. She tells Jason to come in, so he does. He smiles when he sees what she has prepared for them. They both sit and Nicole offers Jason something to alcoholic to drink. Jason turns down the alcoholic drink but asks for water instead. Nicole stands up and walks into the kitchen, she fetches Jason a glass of water and returns to her seat.

Nicole confesses her feelings to her boyfriend, that she loves him and wants to try and fix their relationship.

They pull each other over to the sofa as they undress one another. They proceed to have sex. Nicole is under Jason. She opens her eyes and sees the killer standing behind Jason. She warns him, but it's too late. As Jason turns around to face the killer, they swing a brick at him, causing him to fall unconscious whilst on top of Nicole. She screams as the killer impales Jason through the head with a machete. Jason Giles is dead.

Nicole jumps up and pushes her deceased boyfriend's corpse off her. She launches at the killer and knocks the machete from their hands. They get into a fist fight. Nicole hits the killer as they strangle her. Nicole then manages to overpower the killer and roll on top of them. She is now strangling the killer as they strangle her.

Just then, whilst thinking of his mother, he begins to hallucinate her walking up to him with a knife in hand. When in front of Austin, she pins him up against a tree and tells him that he's a murderer. Austin closes his eyes and tells himself that it's a hallucination, it's not real. He reopens his eyes to find out that his mother is gone. Smash to black.

### Confessions

We fade into early in the morning. We see Caleb making a toast and cup of coffee. He spots a pair of sunglasses that scream "badass". Caleb chuckles and puts the sunglasses on. He then walks over to the microwave and looks at his reflection in the glass, smiling at what he sees. He then goes over to the kitchen sink and picks up a knife from it, before drying it with a towel.

We cut to a couple, who are asleep in bed. The door slowly creaks open, revealing Caleb in the doorway. He watches the couple while holding a knife in his hands. We see the couple in the reflection of Caleb's sunglasses. Just then, he hears the toaster ding, meaning that the toast in ready. He returns to the kitchen and finishes off making the toast and coffee.

We cut back to the couple, where the woman has just woken up. She looks around, confused. She sees that her partner is asleep at her side, though we don't see his face. She gets up from the bed and walks into the kitchen, where she finds the coffee and toast, she looks over at the door and realises that it's wide open. Just then, the killer bursts into the room and strangles the woman to death with a rope.

Once the woman is dead, the killer picks up the cup of boiling hot coffee and wanders into the bedroom, where they find the man, who is revealed to be Dr Carter. The killer walks over to him and throws the coffee all over him, causing him to burn. He wakes up instantly, but the killer is gone. Smash to black.

We reopen to the Roberts' household. Austin, Oliver and Shane are sitting in the front room. Austin tells his uncle that they'll take him up on the offer of moving in with them, as it's not safe for them to stay at their apartment. Shane tells his nephew that they're free to stay as long as they like. Shane then asks Austin how he's been holding up, after Ashley. Austin admits that he's not been doing to good and just wants the killings to be over again. The scene cuts to later in the day.

We see Oliver, sitting with Kaylee in Monroe's cafe. They're talking about how the killer needs to be stopped immediately. Kaylee mentions that she wasn't around during Hayley and Sean's killing spree. Oliver asks her about this, as he remembers meeting her in Waldenwood High a few months before the killings start. Kaylee tells Oliver that she was at a science program. Oliver asks if it was the Ultrascience Program that she attended, which Kaylee confirms. Oliver mentions that he had signed up over four times to join, but heard nothing, he then reveals that it was during August, not October. Kaylee falls silent when she realises that she was caught in a lie.

Oliver looks at her, confused as to why she would lie to him. This causes Kaylee to reveal the real reason she wasn't around; she was being severely bullied by Shauna, which caused her to become depressed. She'd cut and starve herself to numb out the pain, and then one day, her parents caught her in the act of harming herself, which caused her to have to drop out of school and attend a therapeutic retreat in Arizona. She then asks if they can change the subject. It's revealed that Danielle was actually sitting near them and heard everything. She comes over and apologises for not trying to stop Shuana. Kaylee begs Danielle not to tell anyone, so Danielle gives Kaylee her word.

The scene cuts to Austin, who is currently home alone. Just then, he begins hearing crying coming from his and Oliver's bedroom. He goes to investigate, only to begin Ashley sitting on the bed, crying. He closes his eyes and tells himself that it isn't real, but a hallucination. He opens his eyes and she's gone again. Just then, he begins hearing whispers coming from downstairs. He wanders downstairs and finds Ashley standing there. She tearfully whispers that Austin deserves answers, and he'll find him where he lost the people he loved most. Austin realises that she means the abandoned school. Just then, Max comes home and finds Austin, alone. Austin tells his cousin that he's going to the abandoned school, and he's welcome to come along.

We cut to them both arriving at the school in Max's car. Max asks Austin if he really want's to do this, as there's a huge possibility that he'll find nothing, due to Ashley being just a hallucination. Austin admits that even though it's unlikely that they'll find anything, it's worth a shot. They both arm themselves with two kitchen knives that they brought for protection. They both climb out of the car and break into the school.

Around ten minutes after breaking in and looking in every room, they realise that there is nothing there. Suddenly, they hear a loud noise coming from the basement. They walk down the stairs, with knives and torches in hand. Max points out that there's a bookshelf that looks out of place. The two cousins walk over and push the bookshelf out of the way, revealing there to be a door. Austin thanks Max for spotting this. They slowly open the door to find nothing in there, except a single piece of paper. Austin reads the paper and is shocked by what he sees.

Max notices how shocked Austin is and comes over to read the paper. Whilst Max reads the paper, we cut to his point of view. The paper reveals that Charlotte had a child before she died and is the same age as them, however, it doesn't mention the gender. Austin is absolutely shocked by this news.

We cut to the next day, during college. Ava and Caleb talk about going to see a movie after school. Suddenly, Ava's phone begins ringing; it's the killer. She answers the call and hears the killer call her a murderer. She asks the killer what they mean, as she hasn't murdered anyone. The killer tells Ava that she knows who she killed, as it's the reason she came to Waldenwood. Ava hangs up on the killer after realising what they were talking about.

We cut to a flashback weeks before Ava moved to Waldenwood. She was living with her mother and stepfather. It was later at night and her parents were asleep. She was secretly getting ready to sneak out to a party. Just before she left, she was straightening her hair with straighteners, she forgot to turn them off and threw them on her bed. Ava then left through her bedroom window. We cut back to Caleb and Ava, with Ava revealing that her straighteners caused the fire that killed her parents, she cries while she tells her boyfriend about this. Caleb comforts his girlfriend while she cries.

We cut to Austin just after the bell for the end of the day had just rang. He looks around and notices that Lana is watching him. He walks over and asks her asks why she keeps watching him. Lana admits that she has an interest in the survivors, as they keep dropping like flies.

Lana admits that she's been doing her research about the survivors and Austin is number one. Austin is confused as to what she means by this, so Lana explains that with him being the main target of the killer, he's least likely to die. Austin chuckles and asks where she has ranked Oliver. Lana reveals that Oliver is ranked number three. Austin tells Lana that Oliver should be ranked at number two. Lana insists that Oliver isn't a main target of the killer, but Nicole is, that's why she's ranked at number two.

Austin is shocked at this and asks Lana to explain what she means. Lana is confused, as she thought Austin knew about the calls Nicole had been getting from the killer. Austin chuckles and calls Lana crazy for believing that Nicole would keep something like that from him and that although she may do her research, she know's nothing about the survivors. He walks off while Lana watches him.

We cut to Dr Carter, who is at work. He was treated for the burns he received when the killer threw the coffee over him. The burns were nothing major, nothing permanent. He is depressed over his wife's death but chooses to continue on working.

It's closing time, so he begins closing up. Just then, he hears a noise coming from behind him. He turns around and sees that somebody has written "Hayley's father" on the wall. Dr Carter is shocked by this, realising that somebody knows about his relation to her. Just then, the killer appears in front of him and begins beating him to death with a fire extinguisher. Smash to black.

### In The Arms Of A Stranger

The episode slowly fades into Austin, who is being chased by Hayley and Sean. He runs into the kitchen and grabs a kitchen knife. He slits Hayley's throat and impales Sean through the eye. Just then, he is awoken by Jill, who found him waving the knife around, revealing it to have been a dream. Smash to black.

We reopen to next morning. We see Nicole on her way to college. Suddenly, she receives a text from the killer. She opens the text and sees a video of Nathan's body slowly burning.

She suddenly gets the urge to jump off the bridge but is eventually stopped by an elderly woman who was passing. The woman offers her support to Nicole, who ends up crying in the stranger's arms. Nicole cries about how she misses 'him' so much, referring to Nathan. The person then recognises Nicole as a survivor.

We cut to Jeremy inside his car. He is driving to the police station. Just then, a white van crashes into his car, causing the car to flip. Jeremy is injured, but not dead. The killer walks over to him and pulls him from the wreckage. They drag him over to by their van and open the doors. Jeremy tries to get up, so the killer hits him in the head with one of the doors, knocking him unconscious, before loading him into the van.

The scene switches to Ava, who is being driven to college by Caleb. Just then, the car stops moving. Caleb gets out the car and sees that somebody had put spike strips on the road.

They pull out their phone and text "hurry up" to an unknown number. Smash to black.

We cut to the same farm that Jeremy and Ava were taken to during Season 1, however, the roles have been switched. Ava is now hanging upside down, whereas this time Jeremy is the one bound to a chair. They're both regain consciousness and begin shouting at each other. Just then, the killer walks in, holding a can of gasoline, much to Ava and Jeremy's terror. The killer pours some gasoline over Jeremy, and then the rest over Ava. The killer tells them that they're going to play a game, that isn't like the one they played before.

The killer reveals that today, Jeremy and Ava will be playing against each other, and whoever wins, dies. Jeremy refuses to play the game, which angers the killer. Annoyed that Jeremy won't play the game they had planned, the killer lights a match and throws it at Jeremy, setting him on fire. Sheriff Jeremy Crane, season 1 survivor is dead.

Just then, the killer turns their attention to Ava and asks if she'd like to play a game, and states that if she doesn't, she'll end up like her father. Ava sobs to the killer that she'll play. The killer walks over to Ava and unties her, letting her drop onto a mattress. The killer then pulls out a gun and holds her at gunpoint, threatening to kill her if she tries to run. The killer forces her into sitting on a chair, similar to the one that her father had just previously died on. She is then bound to the chair and forced to face her father's burning corpse while the killer goes to fetch something.

We cut to after college, Austin is with Oliver, they've both just managed to track down Jennifer and Wayne Campbell, Hayley's former foster parents. Austin has arranged to meet with them, to talk about whether or not Hayley could've been Charlotte's daughter, instead of being her sister.

We switch back to Ava, who is sitting in the barn, alone. Suddenly, the killer returns while carrying VR goggles. The killer walks over to Ava and puts them on her. The killer then reveals that she's going to watch a little video that they prepared for her. We cut to Ava's point of view, we see Ava's mother and stepfather's graves being vandalised by the killer. Next on the video, we see Jeremy being burned with the blow-torch from last season, and finally, we then see Jeremy being set on fire. The video is on a loop for an hour. The killer then leaves Ava alone. We cut to Nicole, sitting alone in Monroe's cafe.

Nicole looks around, she still has the video of Nathan's death on her mind. She has had enough of all the lies. Just then, Mrs Haywood approaches Nicole and asks if she is alright, as it looks like she is about to explode. Nicole begins crying and asks if they can talk about something. Mrs Haywood tells Nicole that they can, she then sits.

After remaining silent for a few moments, Nicole manages to pick up the courage to tell her teacher that she knows why the killer is after her. Nicole falls silent again, with Mrs Haywood encouraging her to continue. We cut to a flashback, set during the events of Would You Rather during Season 1.

We see Nicole, walking out on the street. Suddenly, Hayley, in costume, bursts out of nowhere and has the intention of abducting Nicole. Nicole manages to fight Hayley away off her. She manages to convince a costumed Hayley not to take her and take somebody else instead. Hayley, with her voice modulator, tells Nicole that they have somebody in mind, but Nicole has to do it, threatening to kill Nicole and the other person, if she does not co-operate. Nicole is distraught after hearing this but is even more distraught when she learns that the other person the killer has chosen, is Nathan. Nicole, at first, refuses to have a hand in her twin brother's murder but is eventually changed her mind, upon hearing Hayley threaten to kill her parents, Nathan and then Nicole. Nicole then went home and was about to drug Nathan when Ella showed up. Moments before Ella left, Nicole managed to drug Nathan's drink, causing him to collapse and fall asleep. Nicole then also faked being drugged, just in case Ella returned. Moments after, she received a call from the killer and she tells them that it's done. She begs for the killer not to make Nathan suffer. The flashback ends.

Mrs Haywood is stunned at what she has just learned. She tells Nicole that she should turn herself in, as it could be a way for the killer to stop killing people. Nicole is saddened upon realising that this could be the only possible way. She stands up and slowly begins walking to the door. Just then, she realises that Caleb is sitting a few tables away from where she was sitting with Mrs Haywood. Suddenly, Nicole receives a text from the killer, telling Nicole that if she hands herself in, they'll gut everybody she loves. We cut back to Mrs Haywood, and we see that she actually recorded the conversation she had with Nicole.

We cut back to Ava and the killer, who has just returned. The killer asks Ava how she's doing, Ava tells the killer that she refuses to let them break her, and she kept her eyes closed for the entire time. The killer tells Ava that they're impressed by her resistance. Ava asks what the killer wants, which makes the killer reveal their plan to mentally break Ava, and torture her for taking two innocent lives. The killer reveals that they want to take things up a notch. The killer takes out their voice modulator and changes the voice, so it mimics Jeremy's.

The killer repeatedly tells Ava that if she had never snuck out to go to that party, her mother and stepfather would still be alive, and she wouldn't be being tortured right now. 'Jeremy' then calls Ava a murderer, which causes her to breakdown. The killer is satisfied. The killer takes away the VR goggles from Ava, and unlocks only one of her handcuffs, before dropping the key at the side of her, so she can unlock herself. The killer then flees. Smash to black.

### Breaking Point

We slowly fade into during night time. We see that the killer has just broken into Gemma's classroom, where she keeps the tapes of her recordings. The killer strolls over to the desk and unlocks the drawer with a paperclip. The killer then finds the tape which has Nicole's confession. The killer flees as the scene smashes to black.

We reopen to early in the afternoon. Austin is preparing for Wayne and Jennifer Campbell's visit. Just then, he hears a knock at the door; it's Wayne and Jennifer. Austin answers the door and invites them in. He asks them to sit, before asking if they'd like some tea. Both decline. Jennifer asks Austin about what he'd discovered, which leads Austin to tell them about Charlotte's birth document. Austin asks if it Charlotte's child could have been Hayley. The Campbell's they confirm Hayley isn't the baby and is the sister, just like she claimed.

Wayne reveals that they actually discovered the news about Charlotte's child right after Hayley died. Wayne admits to being curious to see if Sean could have been the baby, but his parents insisted that Sean was theirs, and even provided birth documents. Wayne pulls out his phone and shows Austin a photo of Sean's birth records. Jennifer mentions that they went to Sheriff Martinez about the news of Charlotte having a child. He told the couple that he'd look into it but never did.

Wayne and Jennifer prepare to leave. Just as Jennifer is about to exit through the door, she turns around and tells Austin to be careful who he trusts, as anybody could be Charlotte's baby, and could want revenge, just like Hayley did. The couple then leaves. Smash to black.

We reopen to Nicole, who is sitting alone in Monroe's cafe. Just then, Gemma walks in and orders a latte-to-go. Gemma sees Nicole and jokingly tells her that it's a shock to see her here. Nicole smiles for a brief moment when their moment is interrupted by a text from the killer. Nicole opens the message and sees that it's a voice message. Nicole listens to the voice message and hears what she told Gemma.

Just then, everybody else's phone receives the same message. Nicole is distraught. She tearfully accuses Gemma of sending the recording to everybody, but Gemma explains that she only recorded the conversation by accident, and the killer must have either gotten the recording somehow or heard Nicole. Nicole looks around and sees everybody staring at her, she runs out crying.

We cut to Danielle, Kate and Rob. They're all at Rob's parent's mansion. Danielle is upset over the fact that when the killer burned down her house, they took away the only copy of what she had written for the book. Rob tries to comfort her by kissing her neck, but she pushes him away and tells him that kissing won't bring her hard work back.

Just then, a nearby window smashes. Rob is pissed off by this, as he'll have to pay for it to be fixed. Just then, another window is smashed. Kate tries to find what smashed the windows. After a few moments of searching, Kate finds a bullet; meaning that the killer is shooting at them. Suddenly, the three teenagers realise that they can smell smoke again. They look amongst each other and realise that the killer has set Rob's house on fire, just like they did with Danielle's house.

Kate shouts that they have to get out now before they burn to death. They run up the stairs and out onto a balcony. Rob tells them that they're going to have to jump off and into the pool. Rob insists that the girls go first, and he values their lives more than he does his own.

Danielle and Kate hold hands as they jump off the balcony and into the pool. Suddenly, the killer starts slowly walking up to them with their knife in hand. Rob sees this and demands them to run while they still can. Danielle and Kate run away, leaving Rob behind. The killer sees that Rob is about to jump and slowly begins closing the pool cover.

Rob, confident that he'll be too quick for the killer to catch him, jumps off the balcony and into the pool. Upon swimming to the side of the pool to escape, he realises that the killer sped up the pool cover, making it impossible for him to escape. Rob begins screaming as the killer leaves him to drown. We cut to sometime later, we see the killer reopening the pool cover and seeing Rob's corpse, floating in the water.

We cut to later in the day, we see a shadowy figure, who's face we do not see, meeting with Jennifer and Wayne on the grounds of the abandoned school. The person, refusing to speak, hands Jennifer and Wayne an envelope full of money. They smile and thank the mysterious person as they walk away.

We cut to moments later, the mysterious person runs up to Jennifer and Wayne, who are horrified upon realises that it's the killer (who is now in their costume). The killer, using their voice modulator, tells Jennifer and Wayne that it was a pleasure doing business with them, before addressing them with the names, Mason and Catherine.

The killer reveals that they have Sheriff Crane's gun. They point it at Mason and shoot him in the forehead, killing him instantly. The killer then turns to Catherine, who begs for the killer to spare her. The killer shoots her in the throat and then once again in the forehead, killing her. The killer looks at the floor, seeing the bloody mess that they've created.

We cut to Nicole, who is being comforted by Austin and Oliver. They tell Nicole that she should've told them sooner, they wouldn't have judged. It's not her fault that the killer refused to let her change her mind, referring to how Nicole mentioned that once she heard the killer tell Nicole that they want Nathan, and then the killer threatening to kill her whole family if she doesn't co-operate. They tell Nicole that they've all done stuff that they're not proud of, but it's not their fault, its the fault of the psychopath who keeps killing people. Nicole asks if they think that everybody's going to judge her now. Oliver tells Nicole not to worry about that. Austin tells Nicole that they're going to find who's doing this, and then kill them, just like Hayley and Sean.

Just then, Austin's phone begins ringing; it's the killer. They tell Austin and Nicole to go to the abandoned school, alone, and they'll find the answers to the questions they're asking. The call ends before either one of them gets the chance to speak to the killer. Oliver tells them to borrow his car, and call him if anything happens.

We cut to Austin and Nicole just climbing out of Oliver's car. They see Catherine and Mason's corpses on the floor, which shocked the teenagers, who are both under the impression that they're Hayley's foster parents. They continue to walk inside the school, where they find a trail of arrows that point to the basement.

When inside the basement, Austin spots pictures of all the previous victims (from both seasons) on the wall. Just then, they realise that there's a rocking chair in front, and the killer's sitting on it. They walk over and realise that it isn't the killer, but the rotting corpse of Hayley Campbell. Austin and Nicole both get texts from the killer, saying "YOU DID THIS, YOU DESERVE IT". They both realise that the killer must want revenge on them for killing Hayley. Smash to black.

We reopen to Danielle and Kate, still running from the killer. Just then, Danielle receives a text from 'Rob', telling them that he managed to escape and he's hiding out at the abandoned school. Danielle and Kate, not realising that it's a trap, head to the abandoned school. We cut to them arriving.

They see Oliver's car, which is still parked on the school grounds. They conclude that 'Rob' must have stolen it or something. Just then, Danielle is texted, telling her that he's hiding inside. They both walk into the school. As soon as they're inside, Danielle receives a text from 'Rob', saying that the killer is here and that they should run. Danielle insists that they find and save Rob, just as he saved them earlier.

Kate asks where Danielle thinks the killer could be. The killer's voice tells Kate they're "right here". Kate turns around, only to see Danielle standing behind her, with the killer holding a knife to her throat. The killer begins counting down from three to one.

When they get to one, Kate expects the killer to slit Danielle's throat, but they don't. Instead, they pass Sheriff Crane's gun to Danielle. Kate realises what is happening, Danielle Duffy is one of the killers. She tries to run, but it's too late. Danielle shoots Kate in the shoulder. Kate sobs as she calls Danielle a 'traitor'. Danielle finishes Kate off by shooting her in the forehead. Kate McClain is dead. Smash to black.

### Playing Dead

We fade into the abandoned warehouse, moments after Danielle's reveal. Austin and Nicole suddenly come running up the stairs and out of the basement, having heard the gunshots. They can see Kate's corpse on the floor, and Danielle aside the killer. Danielle shouts for Austin and Nicole to run, before pushing the killer out of the way.

We cut to Nicole's point of view and we see the killer shoot Danielle in the chest, killing her. The killer then aims the gun at Austin and Nicole and prepares to shoot, but they run away before the killer manages to shoot them.

After they've left, Danielle pulls herself up from the floor and asks if the killer thinks that she was convincing. Danielle is revealed to have been wearing a bulletproof vest. She tells her partner that she has work to do. Smash to black.

We cut to Harper Martinez walking along a street. Her phone begins ringing; it's the killer. She initially hesitates to answer, but eventually, does. Over the phone, she threatens to slaughter the killer, to avenge her father.

The killer mocks Harper, telling her that she's weak, and won't live to see her father being avenged. Harper asks what the killer means by this. The killer tells Harper that they're gearing up for the big finale, and all the minors have to die in order to boost the body count. Harper calls the killer 'sick', stating that they won't get away with this. The killer responds by telling Harper that it'll be for them to worry about, not her, because she'll be dead. Harper tells the killer to do their worst, before hanging up on them.

Harper slowly spins in a circle to see if the killer is around, but they aren't. Just then, she receives a text from the killer, and it says "you shouldn't have hung up on me, you little bitch. Now I'm going to have to gut you like a fish". Upon reading the message, Harper becomes worried and shouts out to the killer that they'll have to catch her first. She turns around and accidentally runs straight into the killer's kitchen knife.

Upon feeling the knife in her stomach, Harper reaches for the killers mask and pulls it off, revealing it to be Danielle. Harper is shocked at the identity. Harper tries to say something but is interrupted when Danielle slashes a deep wound on Harper. Harper tries to run, but her fate is sealed. She looks down and sees her bowels hanging out of her. She tells the killer that it wasn't supposed to end like this, before falling to the floor. Harper Martinez is dead. Smash to black.

We cut to Austin and Nicole, who have just arrived back at the Roberts' household. Oliver, Shane, Jill and Max are there. Nicole and Austin are frantic over witnessing the killer "murder" Danielle. Jill takes out her phone and calls Tom Martin, who replaced Jeremy as sheriff, after Jeremy's death. She informs him of Danielle's death and the discovery of Hayley's corpse. He tells her that he'll investigate it right away.

We cut to late at night and everybody is asleep, expect Austin. He watches Oliver sleep when he begins to hear noises, coming from outside. He takes a peek through the window to investigate but finds nothing.

Suddenly, his phone begins ringing; it's Ashley's number. Austin is confused over how his deceased mother is calling. He curiously answers the phone and demands to know who is there.

Austin's world shatters when he hears a recording of his mother's dying words to him, "it isn't your fault", but it has been edited, so it now says "it's your fault". Austin begins crying at what he's hearing. Suddenly, the killer begins talking. They tell Austin that everything is happening because of him and Nicole, and what they did to Hayley. Austin tells the killer that he and Nicole had to kill Hayley, and they're going to do the same to them. This makes the killer laugh, before hanging up the phone. Smash to black.

We reopen to mid-day, Shane is just arriving in work. He greets a colleague of his as he continues to walk to his office. He travels up the staircase and straight into his own personal office. When inside the office, Shane notices a familiar gas mask, sitting on his desk. He picks it up and instantly realises that the killer must have been here.

Shane gets a sense of panic and gets the idea to check the cameras. He quickly walks out of his office and to the elevator. Shane presses the button, which causes the doors to open, however, the elevator isn't here. He sticks his head through the doors and sees that there is nothing there, which causes him to realise that he's just walked into a trap.

Shane changes his mind and decides to use the stairs instead. As he turns around, he sees the killer, standing before him. He begs for the killer to stop what they're doing before they do something they'll later regret. The killer pauses, before telling Shane that they regret not killing him sooner. The killer pushes Shane through the open doors, causing him to fall down the elevator shaft. We hear a loud crashing and cracking noise, meaning Shane Roberts is dead. Smash to black.

We reopen to Oliver. Just then, he receives a video from the killer; it's of Shane's death. We switch to Austin, he has also received a video of Shane's death. We then switch to Max, who has just seen the GIF. He sinks to his knees. Finally, we switch to Jill, who is laying on the floor, screaming and punching the ground as a reaction to the video. Smash to black.

We reopen to Ava and Caleb, they're out walking in the rain. Just then, one of the killers jump out, with a bat and swings it at the two lovers, causing them to be knocked unconscious. The killer drags them out of the camera's view. Smash to black.

We cut to Max and Jill, who are both curled up in their bedrooms, mourning over Shane. Suddenly, Jill receives a text from her deceased husband, telling him that he's had to fake his death in order for the killer to leave their family alone. He tells her to come downstairs, as he wants to see her one last time. Jill completely forgets about the video, and how she actually saw Shane die. She slowly walks down the stairs, only to find nothing there. She realises that it must have been the killer, which causes her to run back up the stairs.

As she reaches the top step, the killer appears out of Max's room. They grab Jill and throw her at the wall, causing her to fall down the stairs and crack her head open on the floor. The killer leaves Jill to bleed out and returns back into Max's room, revealing that Max is gagged and tied up in the closet. The killer holds him at knife point as they tell him about Jill's death. Max tries to spit at the killer, but he can't, because of the gag. The killer then knocks him out. Smash to black.

We cut to Austin. He is walking through the forest alone. Just then, the killer bursts out and hits Austin over the head with the same bat that was used against Ava and Caleb, meaning that this must be the same killer. We smash to black as the killer drags Austin off.

We reopen to Austin, Ava and Caleb. They're all bound to chairs. Austin realises that this could be a repeat of the Would You Rather game that Hayley forced him to play in Season 1. Suddenly, the killer appears out of nowhere, wielding a buzz saw. They tell the three teenagers that tonight is the night that they all die. The killer tells Ava that she killed her only friend from when she was growing up. Ava is confused at what the killer means by this but eventually, remembers about causing the house fire that killed her mother and stepfather. She shouts that she didn't mean to cause the fire, but the killer tells her that it's too late for sorry.

The killer unties Caleb from the chair but keeps his hands and legs bound together. The killer tells Caleb that he should never have got involved with Ava, as it means he has to die. Caleb tries to run, but can't because of the rope. The killer forces him to stand up straight, before turning the buzz saw on. They slash across Caleb's stomach, causing his intestines to fall out. Caleb Prince, Season 1 survivor, is dead.

Ava and Austin scream and shout at what they've just witnessed. The killer tells Austin that their partner wants to be the one who finishes Austin off, but they can give him battle damage. Austin realises that there are two killers again. He begs for the killer to unmasks himself, and they respond with "gladly", before pulling off their mask. It's Danielle.

Austin is confused as he saw the killer shoot her. She reveals that she was wearing a bulletproof vest. Danielle walks over to Austin and unties him from the chair, but like Caleb, she keeps his hands and feet tied together. Danielle reveals that Ava's stepfather was her boyfriend, despite their huge age difference. This news disturbs Ava and Austin. Danielle then reveals that she is the one who tortured both Jeremy and Ava back in Season 1. She then reveals that she was brought in as a backup killer, just in case Hayley's plan was not fulfilled.

Danielle is about to dismember Austin's hand when he begins hallucinating Ashley. Suddenly, "Ashley" comes over and hits Danielle over the head with a brick, causing her to drop the buzz saw, inches away from Austin. Austin realises that this is very much real, and that is really his mother. As Danielle turns around to face "Ashley", she is pushed backwards, causing her to fall onto the buzz saw, which is still turned on. Danielle is sawed in two. Danielle Duffy, Season 1 survivor, and 3rd killer is dead. Smash to black.

### Her Secrets

We open to moments after "Ashley" was revealed to be alive. "Mom!" Austin calls out, as both he and Ava look on in shock. "Ashley" approaches the two teenagers and admits that she isn't "Ashley", but her twin sister, Sasha. Austin tells Sasha that this is impossible, as his mother never mentioned that she has a twin sister. Sasha reminds Austin of all the other stuff that Ashley never mentioned; she murdered somebody and she caused her own husband's head injury.

Austin is slowly processing the fact that his mother kept so many secrets from him. Sasha tells Austin that there's more that Ashley failed to mention. We cut to a flashback, set 25 years ago.

We see a 15-year-old Ashley, looking after the neighbour's baby, at home. Ashley realises that the baby is covered in paint and panics. She picks up the baby and runs up to the bathroom, before filling the bathtub and putting the baby in. Just then, the downstairs phone begins ringing. A curious Ashley wanders back down the stairs and answers the phone, only to discover that it's her boyfriend calling.

We fast forward to half an hour later, Ashley has just ended the call with her boyfriend and has just remembered about the baby. She wanders back up the stairs and into the bathroom, only to find the baby has drowned. Ashley, being only 15 years old, gets scared and runs to the phone. Instead of calling for help, she calls Sasha. Over the phone, Ashley begs Sasha to come finish off the babysitting for her, as she had a doctors appointment.

We fast forward once again, to when Sasha has just arrived home. Ashley tells her sister that the baby is asleep upstairs in Ashley's room, and it's best to leave her sleep. Before Sasha even got the chance to asks any questions, Ashley darted out the door.

We fast forward for the final time, the parents are here to pick the baby up. Sasha guides them up the stairs and into Ashley's room and finds that the baby isn't there. They look in each room but look in the bathroom last. The three of them find the baby in the bathtub, drowned. The parents think that Sasha is Ashley, and accuse her of murdering their baby. The flashback ends.

Sasha reveals that after Ashley had framed her for the accidental drowning of the baby, she was forced to spend 25 years at a sanatorium, for the criminally insane. Austin and Ava are shocked at what they have just heard. Austin asks if Sasha has been posing as Ashley, and making him think that he has been hallucinating. Sasha admits that she has, as she was recruited by the killer to do so.

The killer managed to get into Sasha's head, convincing her that doing this to Austin, would be revenge against Ashley. She then admits that she led Austin to the document about Charlotte having a child because she realised that making Austin think he was hallucinating, isn't the right thing to do. Sasha then reveals that it was Danielle's partner who called Austin from Ashley's phone earlier in the day.

Austin tells Sasha that he understands why she did what she did. He then asks her if she knows the identity of Danielle's partner, but Sasha reveals that she doesn't. She reveals that she knew about Danielle, but was threatened that if she told anyone, she'd become the next victim. Sasha reveals that after discovering the news about Charlotte having a child, she theorised that it was Danielle, and asked her about it.

Danielle revealed that she isn't Charlotte's child, Sean was. Austin is only half shocked by this news, as he theorised that either Sean or Hayley was the child. Austin the comes to the realisation that the second killer cannot be Charlotte's child. Ava interrupts their conversation and asks if Sasha can untie her and Austin. Sasha unties them as we smash to black.

We reopen around an hour later, Austin, Sasha and Ava have just been questioned by Sheriff Martin about what occurred earlier. Ava is in mourning over the death of Caleb. Austin and Ava have just arrived back at the Roberts' household. Ava sits on the couch and cries over Caleb's death, while Austin sees if anyone is home. He walks to by the stairs and finds Jill's corpse. He shouts for help. Ava comes running and sees Jill.

Austin is devastated over the fact that he's lost both Shane and Jill. They begin hearing a banging sound coming from upstairs, so they run up the stairs to investigate. Upstairs, they find Max, tied up and gagged. They untie him and he begins crying over the deaths of his parents.

We cut to Kaylee's house, Oliver is there. Oliver admits to Kaylee that he feels bad for leaving Austin alone, right after he has just lost his uncle. It is clear that Oliver doesn't know about today's events. Their conversation is interrupted when Kaylee's phone begins ringing; it's the killer. Oliver takes Kaylee's phone and answers. He asks the killer what they want. The killer responds with telling Oliver that they want to see his and Kaylee's insides on the outside. Kaylee tells the killer that she's not afraid of him. The killer tells Kaylee that she should be.

Oliver asks if there is a specific reason as to why the killer called. The killer confirms that there is, and reveals the news about the deaths of Jill and Caleb, before revealing the news about Danielle's reveal. Oliver hangs up on the killer and tells Kaylee that they have to go to the Roberts' house immediately, to see Austin. Kaylee tells Oliver that she'll drive and they both set off.

We cut to sometime later, they have just arrived at the house. Oliver and Kaylee walk in and find Ava, Max and Austin, all in mourning for those who they've lost. They walk up to the trio and comfort them.

The scene switches to Nicole, who is with Gemma in Monroe's Cafe. Nicole tells Gemma about how the killer is targeting her and Austin for what they did to Hayley, following her reveal. Gemma reveals that the killer must have some relation to Hayley. Nicole mentions how the killer had killed Hayley's father, so it couldn't be him. Gemma asks Nicole if she knows anybody who it could be. Nicole admits that she doesn't, as nearly all of Hayley's relatives are dead. Gemma mentions that maybe Hayley could have had a secret boyfriend. Nicole realises that Gemma could be right.

We cut too late at night. We see Lana, who is in her bedroom. She is writing in her diary about how she thinks that one of the survivors is the killer. Just then, she hears a loud scream coming from downstairs. She picks up a pair of scissors and wanders down the stairs to find where the screaming came from. Lana sinks to her knees upon finding her mother's corpse. She realises that there is a message on the wall, written in blood. The message says "stop while you still can".

Lana begins screaming, upon realising that her obsession and theories about the survivors, led the killer to kill her mother. She blames herself. She lifts up the hand that she's holding the scissors with. She slams the scissors into her own chest, stabbing her in the heart. Lana Foster is dead.

We cut to the costumed killer in an unmarked location. They're writing their plan of action on some paper, although we do not see what it says. Just then, we begin to see the last line, which reads "the end is near". The killer then reaches for their mask and pulls it off, but before we see their face, we smash to black.

### What Lies Beneath

We slowly fade into the morning after Lana's suicide. We're at the Roberts' household, where Austin, Oliver, Max, Ava and Kaylee stayed overnight. They're all depressed over the events of the last episode. Just then, Kaylee hears a knock on the door. She answers it and finds Nicole standing there. Kaylee invites Nicole in.

When inside, Nicole says her hello's to her friends and asks them all if they'd heard about Lana yet. They admit that they haven't, and ask what's happened. She tells them about how the killer murdered Lana's mother, and then had Lana find the body. Lana then killed herself upon seeing the corpse. She reveals that the killer filmed everything.

Just then, everybody receives a text from the killer, which says, "my, my, all of you in one house. I wonder if I should make this easy, and blow you all up". All of them are alarmed by this. They all debate if they should leave the house immediately, but then they realise that leaving the house is what the killer wants them to do.

Oliver realises that he needs a bathroom break, so he travels up the stairs. Upon reaching the bathroom, a bat swings at him and knocks him unconscious. We see that the killer is in the house, and could be one of the teenagers. They then pick Oliver's lifeless body up and throw him onto a nearby trampoline, before climbing down a ladder and loading Oliver into a van. We cut to black as the killer drives away with Oliver.

We cut Sheriff Martin. He is on patrol around the neighbourhood. Just then, the killer's van drives straight into Sheriff Martin's car. The killer mutteres to themself that this sheriff will be no different than the two sheriffs before him.

The sheriff tries to pull himself from the wreckage that is his car. Suddenly, the killer runs up to him and stabs him in the stomach with a machete. Sheriff Martin tries to shoot the killer but ultimately misses each shot. He tries to run but falls to the floor due to his injury. The killer walks up to him and stands on his leg. The killer tells the sheriff that "this is going to hurt", before hacking at his other leg with the machete, until it has been separated from the rest of him.

Sheriff Martin cries out in pain and terror, but is being a fighter and refuses to die in this way. He takes off his belt and wraps it around what's left of his leg, to try and stop the bleeding. He then tries to pull himself up, but ultimately fails.

The killer, who is satisfied with how much the sheriff is struggling, decides to enter their van and start it. Sheriff Martin tries to crawl away but is in too much pain to even move. He throws himself back to the floor and cries out that the killer wins. The killer runs Sheriff Martin over, killing him instantly. The third sheriff of the season is dead. Smash to black.

We reopen to sometime later. Everybody is under the realisation that Oliver hasn't yet returned from the bathroom yet, and how he's been gone for over half an hour. They all grow concerned. Max and Austin decide that they're going to go check on him. They walk up the stairs and find that Oliver is gone. They spot the open window. Almost instantly, they receive a text from the killer, telling them that Oliver is their new play toy. Max says that they need to call the cops as soon as possible, but as soon as Max finishes saying this, they get another text, telling them to forget to call the cops. Austin and Max realise that the killer can hear them somehow. They both look around, confused. Just then, Max spots the Gas Mask Camera. He grabs it and pulls it to his face. He tells the killer that he's going to avenge every single person they've killed, and it's going to be brutal. Max receives a text from the killer, asking if that includes both of his parents. Max begins shouting at the camera, before smashing it up. Smash to black.

We reopen to moments later. Everybody is downstairs. They're all concerned for Oliver's safety. They all conclude that the killer cannot be any of them unless a second partner was recruited.

Just then, Austin receives a call from the killer, who tells him to go to the abandoned school, if he wants to save Oliver. The killer tells Austin that if they see a single cop, they'll gut Oliver. The call ends.

Austin walks into the kitchen and picks up a selection of knives. He walks back into the room where the others are and hands then out. Upon realising that they need more weapons, Austin and Kaylee decide to go look in the garden shed.

In the shed, they find a larger range of items that could be used as weapons of defence. Oliver picks up a hammer and a sickle. Kaylee picks up a hatchet and garden sheers. They both return to inside the house. They hand out the extra weapons to everyone. Austin has the garden sheers, Ava has the sickle and a knife, Max has the hatchet, Kaylee has two knives, and finally, Nicole has the hammer. They conclude that this is the final battle, before setting off to the abandoned school in Kaylee's car.

We cut to the group arriving at the school. Austin asks if everybody is ready, which everybody responds to with a yes. They walk into the abandoned school and find Sheriff Martin's crushed body at the door. Everybody is disgusted by what they can see. They all decide to split up into groups, Austin with Nicole, and Max with Kaylee and Ava. They set off in different directions to find Oliver and the killer.

We follow Max, Kaylee and Ava. Just then, the killer comes out of nowhere and pushes Max into a wall, causing him to fall unconscious. They begin chasing Ava and Kaylee. While running, Ava begins thinking about all the people she's lost and decides to stop running. She tells the killer to take her, and let Kaylee live. The killer is impressed with Ava and how she'd sacrifice herself for somebody she barely knows. The killer decides to make her death less brutal than he originally intended for it to be. They slam the machete into Ava's shoulder, before twisting it. Ava Crane, Season 1 survivor is dead. The killer decides to uphold their side of the bargain and leaves Kaylee to continue on running. Kaylee realises that the killer is gone, and decides to run back to Max.

We cut to Austin and Nicole. Just then, they bump into Sasha. They demand to know why she's here. She reveals that the killer called her and told her to be there, otherwise, they'd gut Austin. Despite how she treated him at the start, and how she doesn't know him that well, Sasha really doesn't want her nephew to die.

Just then, Kaylee and Max come running up. Austin asks where Ava is. Upon asking this, he realises what's happened. He swears to make the killer pay with their life. Kaylee passes Sasha a knife and tells her that they're going to find the 'sick motherfucker' before they kill again. They all receive a text, telling them to throw their weapons if they want to find Oliver. They do as they're told. They all receive another text, demanding them to go into the basement, where Harry was killed.

Down in the basement, we see Oliver tied to a chair, still unconscious. Just then, the killer appears. They announce that they're done keeping their identity a secret. The killer reaches for their robe and takes it off, revealing a black body suit. They reach for the gas mask and voice modulator and tears it away from their face. The killer reveals their-self to be...

Mrs Gemma Haywood! Everybody is shocked at the reveal. She points her knife at Austin and reveals herself to be Charlotte, the woman who Ashley "murdered". She reveals that she was unconscious, not dead. Austin asks how this is possible, as the police found Charlotte's corpse. We cut to a flashback.

Minutes after Harry had buried Charlotte, she awoke from being unconscious and started digging herself out, upon realising that she wasn't that deep in the hole. When out of the hole, she realised that Ashley could go to prison for this, if she actually was dead, meaning that she could have Harry all to herself. Charlotte approached a woman who looked like her and bashed her head in with a rock, before burying her in the unmarked grave. We cut to after the body received an autopsy. She threatened the medical examiner into saying that the body was her. The flashback ends.

Charlotte reveals that after she faked her death, she took the alias, Gemma Haywood, faked her age, changed her hairstyle and the colour of it, and began wearing green contact lenses as her real eye colour is blue.

Austin is stunned at what he has just heard, although is not shocked. He asks Charlotte if Hayley knew she was actually alive. Charlotte reveals that Hayley never knew, and Sean never knew that he was her son either. Charlotte points her knife at everybody and asks if they'd like to see Oliver die. Just as she's about to stab him, Oliver jumps up, revealing that he secretly untied himself while pretending to be unconscious. He tackles Charlotte to the floor, which causes everybody else to run over.

Charlotte stabs Oliver in the side and runs away, but is followed by Nicole and Austin. They arrive in the room where Ashley was killed in, where they find her corpse. Austin is enraged that Charlotte would keep Ashley's body. He realised that her body has been brutally mutilated from the stomach down. Austin swears to avenge his mother.

Just then, Kaylee comes running in and tells them that Charlotte has shot Sasha in the back with a gun. Austin and Oliver run back into the basement where they find Max and the injured Oliver and Sasha being held at gun point by Charlotte. Max is unconscious.

Charlotte threatens to blow Oliver's head off if Austin takes a step closer. She turns the gun into Austin's direction and pulls out a knife and holds it in Oliver's direction, threatening to kill both of them if anybody moves. Charlotte walks over to Austin, still holding him at gun point and grabs him. She switches and points the knife at Austin's throat and holds the gun at Oliver. She asks Austin if he's ready to die.

Suddenly, Nicole runs up behind Charlotte and starts choking her with the rope that she tied Oliver to the chair with, causing Charlotte to shot Oliver in the arm. She pulls Charlotte over to the chair she had Oliver tied to and forces her into sitting down. It's during this that Max regains consciousness.

Kaylee ties one side of Charlotte to the chair, whereas Nicole ties the other side. Charlotte curses at them all and insults them. When Charlotte is completely tied to the chair, Max walks over and picks up the Gas Mask. He forces it back onto Charlotte's face.

Max picks up Charlotte's knife and tells her that this is for Shane and Jill, before stabbing her in the stomach. Kaylee then takes the knife and stabs Charlotte in the stomach for all the pain she caused. Kaylee passes Nicole the knife, but Nicole has other ideas. She throws the knife to the floor and walks over to the gasoline that she had spotted. She begins pouring it all over Charlotte.

Despite being in complete agony, Sasha pulls a lighter out her pocket and throws it to Nicole, before falling unconscious from being shot. Nicole considers setting Charlotte on fire herself, but ultimately gives the lighter to Austin and tells him that it's his turn to get revenge. Austin tells Nicole that he'd gladly be the one to kill Charlotte.

Austin takes the lighter from Nicole and sets Charlotte on fire. Everybody watches as Charlotte burns to death. Charlotte Bennett, also known as Mrs Gemma Haywood, and Season 1 survivor is dead. Smash to black

We cut to some time later. The police arrive at the abandoned school for the final time. The survivors hug as Charlotte's corpse is wheeled away in a body bag. They say it's finally over. We cut to a year later, on the anniversary of Charlotte's reveal and death. They're all gathered at the Roberts' household. It's revealed that Sasha survived being shot and took Max and Austin under her wing, and treating them as her own. Oliver also survived being shot.

They all have glasses of champagne in their hands as they're toasting all the lives that were lost throughout both killing sprees. Oliver looks at Austin and stands up. He kneels in front of Austin and proposes to him. Austin's eyes fill with excitement as he screams yes. Oliver and Austin begin kissing. Smash to black.
