**Drew** is a major character in the 2019 Facebook Watch series *Stereoscope*. A boy from another dimension, Drew and the other dimension's version of Lewis used their version of the stereoscope to come to our world after the veil in theirs fell and everyone there was killed by The Reek. He tried to aide Callie and Rae in finding Lewis in World 2, and was killed by The Reek after it came through while he tried to buy them time to escape.

He is portrayed by Blaine Maye.

## Physical Appearance

Drew is a young Caucasian man with dirty-blonde hair and blue eyes. He has a small mustache beginning to grow on his top lip, and in his first appearance, is dirty and covered in cuts and scrapes.

He wears a dark-brown army jacket over a green hoodie and a teal shirt, and tattered denim jeans.

## Characteristics

Drew seems to have a jaded personality due to growing up in an abusive home, but has a protective nature as well (though it often comes out quite aggressively) -- he refused to leave his home situation so he could protect another family member from his father, and he was ready to protect Callie from The Reek despite not having met her prior.

Drew's experience with the stereoscope has lead him to grow extremely paranoid of it and the monster that it brings. He continuously asks Callie if she was absolutely sure she had taken the disk out of the scope (as The Reek can not exist on a plane without it), despite Callie holding the empty scope in her hand.

## Background

Drew hailed from the fifth dimension viewable on the stereoscope. As revealed in the flashback at the beginning of Episode 4, he lived with a physically-abusive father. He found some minor solace in running away to stay with his neighbors, his dimension's version of Lewis and Rae, but refused to live with them full-time so he could protect his mother. One day, he told Lewis that he wanted his father to go away completely, but he knew that would never be able to happen. Lewis told him he could have something to help with that, implying heavily that he and Drew would use the stereoscope to enact justice on Drew's father.

However, as Lewis continued to use the scope, the veil protecting their world fell, and allowed The Reek to enter their world and kill everyone in it. Drew and Lewis used the scope to travel to the first dimension, our world, and were spared. There, they met our world's version of Lewis, who was willing to help them. Drew was able to tell World 1's Lewis about what had happened, and that they needed to get the scope away from his Lewis, but World 5's Lewis came into the room and used the scope to send World 1's Lewis to another dimension. Drew protested this, but was told by World 5's Lewis that it was for the best.

At some point in time, The Reek came into our world and attacked them.

## Stereoscope

### Crossing the Veil

Drew appears in the beginning of the episode hiding in the pantry from The Reek. He is beaten and bloody, but the monster is distracted by Lewis and leaves Drew alone. Drew goes outside the house and watches Lewis die from his injuries just as Callie and Rae pull into the driveway. Later, Drew follows Callie into the storage shed with an axe and begins calling for her, telling her he knows she has the scope and it's going to get her killed.

### The Reek

Drew manages to convince Callie out of hiding from him after telling her he knew her father, and admits that he wasn't going to hurt her with the axe -- but rather use it to protect them from The Reek. He asks Callie if she's seen it, and then tells her he's from the fifth dimension on the slide -- something bad happened where he was from and now everyone is dead. He sees smoke coming from Callie's house and asks her if she's positive she took the disk out of the scope. As Callie runs back to check on her mother, Drew yells for her to come back. That night, after Callie has a fight with Rae, Drew sneaks into Callie's bedroom and tells her to be quiet.

### Lights in the Dark

Drew and Callie go to World 4 in search of her father, but find that the veil has fallen. They find that world's version of his parents, and are attacked by The Reek. Thankfully, they are able to escape at the last second.

### Missing Pieces

After he and Callie barely escape The Reek in World 4, Drew inadvertently lets it slip that his Lewis sent Callie's father away to keep his cover while he studied the scope. After learning this, Callie tried to cut him out of the search effort for lying to her, threatening to use the scope to send him back to his home world. When Callie drops the disk in her fall, Drew takes it and brings it back to her and her mother, asking them to let him help once again.

### The Fallen World

Drew gives Callie and Rae the disk after they agree to let him help them. In the shed, he gives Rae the axe he brought along so she can better protect herself. When they jump to World 2, he notes that the veil looks just like it did before it fell in World 5. When they get to World 2's version of Callie's house and meet their alternate selves, he tries to keep World 2's Lewis from using the scope. The Reek comes through and kills World 2 Callie and Lewis, and Drew takes back the scope in the chaos. He tries to send The Reek back, but it doesn't work as the veil is falling. He throws the scope to Rae and Callie, telling them to get to safety as The Reek attacks and kills him.

## Relationships

### Lewis Thomas (5th Dimension)

Drew had a good relationship with his dimension's version of Lewis. He was presumably a student of his and was his next-door neighbor. Drew trusted Lewis and Rae enough to go to them when he was being beaten, and they were sympathetic to his situation and even offered to let him move in with them full-time. Lewis was extremely sympathetic towards Drew, as he himself did not have a good father figure, and offered to help Drew enact vengeance on his father by using the scope.

In Episode 4, it is revealed that they were *too* successful, as The Reek killed not just Drew's father but *everyone* in their dimension, and they fled to our world. In Episode 6, the event is revealed to be his world's Lewis -- as he became obsessed with the scope and continued to use it, the veil protecting their world fell and allowed The Reek to come inside and kill everyone. Lewis and Drew were able to escape by using the scope to come to our dimension. It was at this time that Drew began to become distrustful of his world's Lewis, and only began to grow more wary of him when he watched him use the scope to send World 1's Lewis to another world.

However, World 5's Lewis seemed to care for Drew despite his obsession. When The Reek came and attacked them in World 1, Lewis diverted The Reek's attention away from Drew long enough to lure it outside when they were attacked, and died protecting him.

### Callie Thomas

Drew seemed to have some prior knowledge of Callie, as there was a version of her in his dimension. He was aware of her father's passing and offered to help her find him, and told her what happened in his dimension. He wanted to help Callie find her father, and was willing to tell her what she wanted to know about the scope to better understand why finding him was so imperative.

### The Reek

Drew had some knowledge of The Reek due to working with Lewis and learning about the scope. He was noticeably afraid of it, though he was able to overcome his fear of it to distract the monster and buy Callie and Rae time to escape with the scope.

### Unnamed father

Drew's father was abusive and seems to have beaten him regularly, if the flashback at the beginning of Episode 4 is any indication. He hated his father, but refused to run away so he could protect her his mother.
