Synopsis[]
With the discovery of Jake Fitzgerald's body, all of George Washington High School is placed on lock-down. Sheriff Miguel Acosta and his team of deputies conduct interviews with all of the students (but surprisingly, none of the staff).
Psychology teacher Karen Lang locks Emma Duval inside the guidance counselor's office, presumably to keep her safe. While there however, she sees the Ghostface killer taunting her from the other side of the glass. Was the killer really there, or was this just an aspect of Emma's post-traumatic stress syndrome.
Audrey Jensen catches Stavo Acosta composing bloody sketches of the Lakewood Six members on his iPad. She snatches the device and shows it to everyone in the learning center. With tensions already mounting, no one is amused over the prospect that Stavo might be a killer and a group of students jump him, cracking his iPad in the process.
When the lockdown lifts, Noah Foster can't ignore the fact that Audrey has been acting so strangely. He steals her cell phone and after numerous attempts at trying to guess her password, manages to unlock it. He finds the video that was texted to her showing her hovering over Jake's body in the storage facility.
