The killer calls Emma to let her know that she a limited amount of time to put the pieces together before Daisy gets hurt. It looks like the killer has a motive of revenge since he wants to hurt Emma’s mother, Maggie. Emma manages to reach her mother in time to tell her about the killer’s plans for the big finale. Thanks to Emma’s advice, Maggie finds a clue inside the dead deputy’s mouth at the station. Inside is a heart necklace that Brandon made for Maggie back when he used to make all sorts of gifts for her. I want to know how the killer has access to all this stuff from Brandon and Daisy’s past.
Noah finds out that the killer has been blocking access to phone calls and other notifications on both Brooke and Audrey’s phones. The poor girls have no idea that they are in serious danger because they don’t know that Noah and Emma have been trying to contact them. To make things worse, Noah finds out that the killer has this setup coming from Brooke’s house. Emma panics because Brooke, Audrey and Jake are all there. She also just told Piper to stop by in order to check on all of them. Noah tries telling Emma to go to the cops but the killer is listening and warns her not to. Now it’s up to Noah and Emma to save the day and change the way this story ends. They are definitely brave, I’ll give them that!
Branson disappears into the dark when the lights shut off outside. When the lights come on the killer is standing in his place, trying to get inside Brooke’s house. She starts to run from the killer but is forced to hide in a large cooler for safety. The killer knows she’s in there so he takes a lock to keep her inside. He then starts to shove the knife through the cooler to stab Brooke. The killer then decides to turn on the cooler while Brooke is still alive inside, to freeze to death.
The gang splits up, leaving poor Noah by himself. As Kieran and Emma are searching the house Jake pops up. He has no idea what’s going on since he just came back from a walk at the lake. The three starts to hear a noise coming from the garage and find Brooke locked in the cooler. They’re able to get her out in time but they still need to find Audrey and Piper.
As soon as Emma arrives at the dock she finds her mother tied to a chair. Emma rushes over to her mother but the killer pops up shortly after to ruin their moment. The killer proceeds to taking off their mask to reveal who they are. I guess I’ve been wrong this whole time for calling the killer a “he” since they are actually a “she.” Piper reveals herself under the mask and calls Emma her sister. She definitely isn’t any Gale Weathers! For some reason, I’m not shocked that Piper is the killer. She always wanted to connect with Emma and was nowhere to be found at Brooke’s house. So why didn’t Mama James point out Piper when she was at her house? Could she have told her to say Kieran was her grandson or is Mama James really that far gone?
Maggie is able to free herself from the ropes keeping her hands tied behind her back. She lunges at Piper, bringing her to the ground. Unfortunately, Piper is able to stab Maggie while they’re wrestling. Emma also takes a leap towards Piper but she gets knocked over. Right as Piper is about to stab Emma, Audrey shows up and shoots Piper. Piper falls into the lake but tries to sneak up on Emma and Audrey with her knife. Emma quickly grabs the gun and shoots Piper in the head, making her sink back into the water. All I have to say is way to go, Audrey! How did she know to go to the dock?
The cops and ambulance show up to take care of all the injured. Somehow, Kieran thinks that he and Emma will work out. He tells Emma that it’s possible for the two to overlook everything that’s happened. I’m not too sure if I’d be so eager to get back with someone who was accusing me of being a murderer.
The one question I had was who was the person behind the mask when Will and Piper were attacked? It’s obvious that she wasn’t able to attack herself so it appears that Piper might have had some help. We see Audrey unlock a safe that was hidden in a dictionary. Inside the safe are letters between Piper and Audrey. I knew it! Audrey is shown burning the letters in order to hide the evidence. So, will Audrey continue where Piper left off in the next season? What I don’t understand is how Audrey was okay with Rachel dying?
What were your thoughts on this Season 1 Finale? I have to say, with the recent loss of Wes Craven, I know he had to be proud of the twists in this episode. He was the mastermind behind all the screams and terror in Hollywood and this show is dedication to his masterpieces. Were you correct about who the killer was? As the episode continued, I started to believe that Piper could be the killer. What I didn’t see coming was that Audrey was the one who was helping Piper. Did the two discuss that Audrey would be able to kill Piper in the end? I’m glad that this plot didn’t exactly follow the movie’s plot. This version of Scream offered even more gore and suspense than anyone could have thought possible. What are you looking forward to in the new season starting in 2016?
