"Ethan?" Alana stares at the boy she told everything to. The boy she shared so many precious moments with. Was everything he told her, all the nice things he said to and did for her, a lie? She feels like she's going to puke as she feels everyone's eyes on her.

Bailey chuckles. "Ta-da!"

"Mindy was right." Ethan chuckles as he avoids eye contact with Alana. "It was easy to juke the roommate. I mean, all I had to do was to meet you was room with a conceited, condescending alpha, literally named Chad. Fuck, it felt good to kill him!" He holds up the mask he was wearing and points at it with his knife. "This was your father's, Lani. Roman Bridger? Really runs in your fucking family, doesn't it? Speaking of family..." He trails off.

Bailey takes over, "Wait for it."

Ethan picks back up, "...My name's not Ethan Landry, is it, Dad?" Ethan looks at his father with a wide, psychotic smile on his face.

Alana looks between to two with a look of shock and heartbreak on her face. "'Dad'?"

Bailey chuckles and pushes hair behind Ethan's ear.

"Wait. If it's you two, then that just leaves..." Sam looks at the Ghostface to Bailey's right before continuing, "Mindy?"

The Ghostface takes their mask off to reveal none other than Quinn. "Hey, roomies. Alana, Liam. Didn't see that one coming, did you?"

"Yeah, because you died!"

"Kind of didn't, though." Her and Bailey look at each other while Ethan looks at the people in front of him, except for his girlfriend. "It was a good way to get off the suspect list. Stab Gale Weathers, stab Mindy on the train. That sort of thing."

Bailey puts his arms around his two kids' shoulders. "Yep, and I just made sure I was first to the scene so I could switch her body out with a fresh one. Little fake blood, a prosthetic. You'd be amazed at what a grieving father can get away with." Ethan and Quinn turn and walk away, going in opposite directions. 

"I got Stu Macher's mask. He was my favorite."

Ethan places his mask on Roman's mannequin and quickly grabs Alana, making her squirm in his grasp. "Get the fuck off of me, Ethan."

Ethan holds the knife to Alana's stab wound on her stomach to please his father and leans to her ear to whisper, "Stop fighting and trust me. Please."

Alana whimpers, "Baby, please. You don't have to do this."

Arianna's voice brings the couple out of their conversation, "Fuck you!" She smacks the mask out of Bailey's hand.

Ethan leans around Alana and cuts Arianna's arm. 

Alana takes that as her opportunity to escape from Ethan's grasp and turns to him. "Don't you fucking touch me." 

Quinn lunges at Alana and cuts her side. "Watch your fucking mouth, bitch."

Ethan shimmies away from them. "Ooh!"

Tara watches him. "You stay the fuck away from her!"

Bailey laughs. "Come on."

"What? What is this?" Alana holds the cut on her side and turns to Ethan. "You did this a family?"

"Hell yeah, bitch!" Quinn moves towards the girls. "You should know better than anyone." She points at Alana.

Ethan points his knife at Arianna and smiles psychotically, looking just like Richie. "They're still not getting it." 

Alana looks between Ethan and Quinn. "I don't know what you believe, but me and Ariana didn't commit those murders in Woodsboro." She turns to Bailey. "It wasn't us!"

"Oh, we know that. Of course you two didn't. What? You think this is based on some bullshit conspiracy theory? Come on." He points at his daughter. "Who do you think started the rumors about you two in the first place?"

Quinn waves her fingers with her knife in her hand. "Do you know how easy it was to turn Alana and Arianna from the heroes of Woodsboro to the villains? How easy it is to convince the world to believe the worst in people rather than the best?"

"Because it's not enough to just kill someone these days." This makes Alana close her eyes, not wanting to believe that her boyfriend is capable of murder. "You have to assassinate their character first. So when Dad here 'discovers' your horribly mutilated body..." Quinn lunges at Tara and Arianna, making them gasp and move back. "...Posed with Lani and Ari wearing their fathers' masks, he'll say some poor dumb bastard read on the internet that you're both the real Ghostface and took matters into their own deluded hands."

"Exactly! That's why it's the perfect alibi. And all the best lies are based on the truth." This makes Alana whip her head to Bailey. "And you're both a killer." He points at her. "Just like your fathers."

Alana rapidly shakes her head. "No, we're not!"

"Yes, you are you motherfucker! You killed our brother!"

Arianna looks at Quinn confused. "What are you talking about?"

Alana also looks at Quinn confused. "You said your brother died in a car accident."

Ethan looks at his girlfriend. "No, no, no, you sweet, dumb thing." He moves his knife blade down her jawline, making her tilt her head back and away from him. "He died in Woodsboro at the hands of your bitch best friend." He points his knife at Arianna. 

Arianna just stares at him as the realization hits her and quickly turns to Bailey. "You're Richie's family." 

Bailey nods. "Yeah."

Right as Arianna turns around, Ethan stabs her in the shoulder and grabs Alana again. "Ding-ding-ding-ding! Now they're finally starting to get it."

The three sisters push the mannequin next to each other and stand their ground as Ethan and Quinn make their way to them. 

"Now! It wasn't until I saw that photograph of what you'd actually done to him that I knew."

Tara swings at Ethan, who has Alana in his hold, making him move back. 

"That I knew you two had to fucking die! You two had to be punished! Along with anyone else who stands in our way."

Alana fights against Ethan's grip once again as Quinn makes her way over to her and notices a change in her eyes, making her point her knife at Alana's throat. "There she is. There's the fucking killer."

Tara stares at Bailey. "Real great parenting job, by the way."

"Shut your whore fucking mouth!" Quinn pushes her, Arianna, and Sam and moves to stand behind them, while Ethan makes his way over to the three girls with Alana still in his arms.

Alana fights against him. "Ethan, let me go!"

"Have I been a perfect Dad? No. Have I maybe overindulged Richie's love for these little movies? Yeah, maybe. For me, they're just a little dark. But... Richie really loved them."

Alana speaks up, "Hey news flash man, but nobody cares about what you or your fucking son thinks. That's why he fuckin-" Quinn cuts her off by stabbing her in the thigh, making her groan in pain and look at her. "I fucking hate you."

Bailey ignores the two and continues, "He loved them! He even made a few of his own." He turns around and looks at the big screen. "Did you know? Did you know?" He makes his way over and slowly walks up the stairs. "There's a very special bond between a father and his first son."

Alana looks at Ethan to see him fighting tears and feels her anger wash away for a moment. She understood how he felt so all she wanted to do was hug him, but he had tried to kill her and her friends, so she couldn't.

"Which is why I helped him build this collection."

Sam looks around then looks back at Bailey. "This was all his?"

"Yes, he was a very passionate collector. And he inspired others. Oh, we had to kill those wannabe film students because, well, we had to kill Alana and Arianna first, Sam. I put the theater in their name, then good old Detective Bailey would've just stumbled on it, but I didn't have to because, by golly, that Gale Weathers is one hell of a journalist. I built a tribute to my son. Which is why this is where Alana and Arianna have to die, surrounded by all the things he loved most."

Alana manages to break out of Ethan's grip for a second before Quinn grabs her. "What happens next? What? After you're done with us, what, you just disappear?" 

Bailey walks back down the steps. "No! We got to hurry over to the hospital and make sure Mindy and Gale don't pull through." He points his gun at Alana. "Because everybody dies, Lana! Everyone who had to do with the death of my son suffers and dies."

"Yeah!"

"Fuck yeah they do."

Alana breaks out of Quinn's hold and limps over to Bailey, to the point where his gun is on her chest. "He was..." She sighs before continuing, "...So pathetic."

Bailey scoffs. "That's not true."

"Yeah, your son, he was a man-baby who made his girlfriend do all the killing."

"He was a strong, virile young man!"

Arianna steps in, "He was a limp-dick little fuck who cried before I slit his throat."

"Shut the fuck up!" Quinn goes to charge at Arianna when Tara swings around and hits her across the face with her brick.

Kirby shoots Bailey, making him fall to the ground.

Ethan turns around and tackles her to the ground. "Recognize this?" 

"Fuck you!"

Ethan stabs her in the same spot Charlie Walker had stabbed her over a decade before. 

Alana grabs a brick off the ground and runs over, hitting Ethan over the head with it, making him fall to the ground. She bends down next to Kirby. "Sorry, but I kind of need this." She takes the knife out of Kirby and looks at Ethan.

"Fuck 'em up, girl."

Alana looks back at her and nods before standing up to face Ethan.

Ethan holds the spot on his head where Alana smacked him and looks at her with genuine regret. "Baby, please. I didn't want to do this. I swear."

Alana walks closely to him and nods. "I know, baby, I know." She places her left hand on his face. "Which is why I'm sorry for this." 

Ethan looks at her confused, but before he can question what she meant, she stabs him in the stomach, making him stumble backwards. "Lani? What the hell?"

"You helped plot to murder me! Who the fuck does that, Ethan?" She sticks the knife in her belt. "Was everything a fucking lie? Did you mean any of it?"

"Of course, I did! You're the best thing that's ever happened to me! I meant every single little thing."

Alana feels tears run down her face. "Then why would you want me dead?"

"I didn't! They did! After I met you, I wanted nothing to do with any of it anymore, but they threatened to kill you if I stopped going with the plan."

Before she can say anything more, Tara catches her attention, "Lana!"

Alana looks at Tara before looking back at Ethan and backing away slowly. "I'm sorry." She turns around and grabs Kirby's gun. "I'll get help." She stands up and runs over to the ladder that Tara is climbing and climbs up after her. 

The two girls climb the balcony and around some chairs, having to climb onto the railing. "Lana, be careful." She gets back the chairs and turns to hold her hand out for Alana so she can get around faster.

Right before Alana can grab Tara's hand, a gunshot is heard and Alana feels a sharp pain in her arm, making her scream in both pain and fear and lose her footing off the railing. She grabs onto the railing but a second later she falls, and Tara grabs her hand, but Alana's hands slip off of Tara's because her hands are so bloody from her stab wound. "I can't grab you."

"It's okay." Tara holds onto Alana as tight as she can.

Alana's hand slips. "I can't grab on. I can't grab on."

Ethan jumps and swings his knife at Alana's feet, making her scream.

"No!"

Ethan points his knife at Alana. "I've always wanted to stick something in you, Lani."

Alana looks down at him. "Fuck you!"

"Fuck you!"

Alana grabs onto Tara's arm as Ethan continues to jump and swing his knife at her feet. Tara looks over and sees Quinn and the gun that Alana dropped when she fell. 

Ethan chuckles. "You guys are so fucked now!"

"Tara. Tara? Let me go."

Tara immediately shakes her head. "No!"

"Yeah, let her go, Tara, come on. Fuck!" Ethan jumps and swings his knife once again. 

"Trust me." Alana puts her hand on her knife, making Tara look at it. "You have to trust me."

Tara nods and lets go of Alana's hand, making Alana drop down in front of Ethan. 

Ethan stabs his girlfriend in the stomach as payback for her stabbing him moments earlier. "I'm so sorry, baby. I'm doing this because I love you."

Alana stares at him and sobs. "What?"

"I love you, Lani. Since the moment I saw you." Ethan lays his hands on her face gently. "I really do. Everything about you, I love. You have to know that."

Alana nods and pulls him into a passionate kiss before pulling away. "I know and I love you, too."

Bailey shoots Alana in the leg, making her fall and cry out in pain. "Get away from my son!" He makes his way up to the balcony where Tara and Sam are.

Arianna, however, comes out of nowhere and stabs Ethan, making him turn around. 

"You fucking bitch!" He lunges at her, only for her to start stabbing him repeatedly. 

"Don't fuck with my family, Landry." Arianna continues to stab him when a gunshot can be heard throughout the theater. "Now die a fucking virgin."

Alana gets up with a grunt and sees Arianna going after Ethan. "Arianna stop. I think he gets the point."

Arianna stops and looks at her before looking back at Ethan to see him not breathing. "Shit."

Alana starts panicking. "What?" She walks over to Arianna and sees what Arianna sees. "What did you do?" She looks at Arianna.

"I-" Arianna looks at Alana. "I'm so sorry."

Alana ignores her and crouches down next to Ethan. "Ethan?" She gently shakes him and gets no response, making her cry even harder. "No, Ethan. Don't do this to me. Please. I need you, Ethan, please." She keeps getting no response, so she leans her head down and touches her forehead to his to whisper, "I love you." She kisses him softly. "More than anything."

Liam runs over to his girlfriend. "Baby, are you okay?" He checks her for wounds then sees her shoulder and her arm. "Which one did that?"

Arianna looks at him with tears running down her face. "Ethan did but yeah I'm fine." She kisses him passionately, totally forgetting about Alana's presence. 

Alana watches the two with anger and disappointment on her face. She stands up and before she can confront the two, the sound of yelling and glass shattering is heard, making the couple break apart, and all three look towards it to see Sam getting up off the floor and an unconscious Bailey. "Sam what the hell?" Alana limps over to Sam and pulls her into a hug. "Thank god you're okay."

Sam hugs her back tightly. "I'm fine. Are you okay?" She pulls away to look Alana over.

Alana shakes her head and sobs. "E-Ethan's gone, Sam."

Sam pulls her into another hug. "I'm so sorry, Lana."
