Chapter 6

**Chapter 6** is the sixth episode of Collision: Winter Trimester.

## Storyline

Benny, Brittany, and Gutierrez sit around the lunch table. Benny begins talking about homecoming, and how he wanted to make a move on Ivan, but was too chicken to do so. Brittany offers to talk to Ivan for Benny to see how he feels, and Benny thanks her for the help.

Payton sits in her jail cell, when Warren Thomas enters, offering to break her out. Not wanting to go to jail over burnt costumes, Payton accepts. Judge Thomas uses his authority to leave the police station with Payton and then offers to drive her home. Payton enters the car, but as she buckles her seatbelt, Judge Thomas stabs a syringe into her arm, injecting it's contents, causing Payton to fall unconscious

During class, Brittany passes a note to Ivan asking him how he felt about his date with Benny. Ivan writes that he had a great time, and has been hoping that Benny would ask him out again. Brittany quietly squeals while reading the note, then shoves it into her backpack to show Benny as proof of Ivan's affections.

Nancy points at the moving Ouija board, and Bryan uses the device to attempt to track the origin of the energy, while Nancy writes down the message. The Ouija board spells out the message 'I M N A T J O N E S M Y D A D I S T I M.' Nancy realizes that this connects to Natalie Jones, the daughter of Tim Jones who went missing several years earlier. She continues to track the message as it spells out an address, and 'send help.' Unsure of what to make of the situation, Nancy calls the police, and sends them to the address. Nancy then tells Bryan that he just made the scientific breakthrough of the century, and Bryan tells her that this is just the tip of the iceberg.

After school, Benny walks up to Ivan and confesses that ever since dancing with him at prom, he can't get him out of his head. Benny asks Ivan if he will go out with him on a real date, and Ivan accepts, and the Spanish clique cheers as the two kiss.

Later that day, Kaitlyn and Mendoza finally are able to go out together, and they arrive at a nice restaurant and get a booth for two. Kaitlyn notices Evelyn in a booth by herself, looking sad, but ignores her in favor of getting to know Jorge more. After a while, Jorge opens up about an experience at his last school where a girl he dated leaked his nudes as revenge, and he contemplated suicide over it, but coming to MAHS and meeting Kaitlyn and the Spanish clique changed his life around.

Cameron sits in the police station with the chief of police, who asks him more about the murder, and if he knows anything about Tricia's murder. Cameron maintains that he last saw Emily taking pills with a man in a black SUV, and that she called him early that morning asking to be picked up an hour away, and also claims that the night Trisha died, she called him saying she had located Emily's body but a man caught her in the act and she had to flee, and the man was following her to her home. The police take note of this and dedicate to searching the area.

Tim Jones arrives at the address given to him by Nancy, a large abandoned farmstead, and drives up to the house, but as he does, a green Mercedes-Benz pulls out of the barn and drives away at top speed. Alarmed, Officer Jones runs into the barn and finds Payton, unconscious and bleeding, but breathing, mummified in duct tape on the ground. He quickly calls for an ambulance.
