Pep n' Zip

The Pep n' Zip is a fictional business featured on the MTV mystery program Scream: The Series. It appeared in the finale episode of season two, "When a Stranger Calls".

The Pep n' Zip was a convenience store and gas station located in Lakewood County, California. It is unclear whether it is actually located in the town of Lakewood itself. In 2016, Emma Duval and Audrey Jensen were on the run from the law after having been wrongly arrested for the murder of Mayor Quinn Maddox.

They ran into the Pep n' Zip to lay so that Emma could use the store's landline to telephone her boyfriend, Kieran Wilcox, to give him an update of their situation. Before she could approach the clerk behind the counter, the young man held the telephone out to her, indicating that somebody had called, specifically looking for Emma. It was the killer. The killer warned them not to go to the police or allows themselves to be captured or else he would gut one of their loved ones.
