Scream: Season 1, Episode 5

Previously On Scream

The town have a meeting at the town hall, letting the people know of Lakewood that they found the killer dead and assumed it was Tyler, Nina's boyfriend. Audrey on the other hand, doesn't believe what the mayor and the Sheriff have to say and believes the killer is still on the loose.

Back at the morgue, Maggie is telling Sheriff Hudson that they can't identify the body because the hand prints are to burnt to get any finger prints off and they would be able to get dental records of the victim but only if the police could find the missing head.

When her mother is working at the investigation morgue, Emma arrives at home and welcomed by a random parcel that came in the post for her. Emma opens it up and discovers that its her mothers year book but with pictures missing of the Brandon James murders.

After finding out what the missing pictures were, Emma & Audrey agree to go to the hospital where the killer left a message in the book, giving them a clue to go the abandoned hospital where the Brandon James mask was made.

Besides having "Killer" problems in the town of Lakewood, people are trying to get on with their lives as we see Will & Jake come up with a desperate plan to get "Quick cash" for Will's tuition fee and blackmail the mayor with a video they have in their possession (Brooke's father).

Emma, Audrey & Noah wonder around the abandoned hospital where Brandon James had his face surgeries and find some valuable clue such as Tyler's missing head and Nina's missing laptop that have encrypted files on it. Noah being the genius he is, hacks opens one of the videos and accidentally sends a video to most of the town, showing Emma's "First time."

Episode 6 - Exposed

Candle Light Vigil

The town of Lakewood have come together for the candle light vigil for Rachel and Riley, Emma's & Audrey's friends who got murdered by the killer. Emma starts of the vigil by speaking about Riley, saying how shy she used to be when she was 6 years old and Emma used to think she didn't speak a word of English. As soon as she carries on speaking about Riley, she gets a video text message of herself getting recorded as she's speaking up on the podium. The murderer is among the crowd somewhere and recording Emma as she speaks about the girl he had murdered and Emma stutters as she can see herself on the text message, with Noah coming in to finish off the speech.

Emma steps to the side so Noah can speak and she gets another text from the killer, "Tell that copper about me and you'll get your mom's heart in a box!" looking around at the crowd of people, expecting to see the killer. When she's walking around lighting the flame for everyone's candle, she see's a glimpse of the killers mask within the crowd and it quickly disappears with a blink of her eye. Emma stops lighting the peoples candles and walks through the crowd to where she saw the mask and unable to see the killer anywhere, leaving her confused and scared.

First of all, why would someone have their phone right in-front of them while they're speaking about their dead friend? And...How the hell is the killer just walking around the people with his mask on? Unless he's undressed him/herself as a normal person and it was Emma's paranoid mind that made her think she saw the killer, that would make more sense anyway. I honestly think that the killer is definitely someone she knows because how could they possibly get so close to Emma and listen in to her conversation with the new cop without Emma expecting anything? Or am i looking into to much? (Laughs)

I also thought it was a clever concept to put in episode as it makes you think how clever the killer must be, toying with Emma and letting her know that he can get close to her at anytime they want, since it's his/her game as they keep telling her. Imagine if you was Emma though...I would actually shout out "The killers here and they're recording me!" What would the killer possibly do if the whole town is looking for them? That's what they should do anyway, gather the whole town, look and fight against the killer until they catch them. 

Mr Branson/ Webcam

The comic book store is the place where Noah works and also a place where he can do some investigation work as he tells Audrey to use her phone for one second as he wants to test something as he hacks in to her phones camera and records her from the laptop. Noah has found out that Nina's laptop they found back at the abandoned hospital had some nasty malware/viruses on it, letting who ever had the laptop can access peoples webcams and camera phones from the laptop. The two of them think that Mr Branson is the suspect behind it all, saying he hacked in to peoples webcams and Nina kept the files, using Nina as a innocent pawn or a unholy alliance. 

Credit to MTV

Back at school Noah and Audrey sneak in to Mr Branson's classroom while he's away and investigate around his desk, looking through his laptop for some more vital clues. Noah finds out that Nina, Tyler and Riley used Mr Branson's laptop and thinking that they knew about Branson's dirty little secret, "What if he killed them all to keep it?" Noah asks. Mr Branson walks in on them both in his empty classroom but with the two of them finishing up on his laptop just in time. "I was just trying to convince Noah to pick a new scene partner, came to see if anyone is available," Audrey tells the teacher to save them from being caught in the act. 

Credit to MTV

I've been saying this, that Mr Branson might be the killer and it makes more sense than anyone else if you think about it. When Riley got murdered, Branson wasn't at the hotel room to meet Brooke and has files of Nina, Tyler and Riley on his laptop, why? Maybe he's trying to do some investigation of his own and try find who ever is killing his students, that would be a good twist in the story if that was the case. That could explain both ways of the story why he has the three named files on his laptop, either he's the killer and uses the files to lore them in for the kill or it's information about the murder scenes, so he can find more about the murderer. 

Blackmailed

Arriving at an abandoned storage compound is the Mayor of Lakewood, bending down to enter the half opened shutter door. He enters a dark and dirty room, shouting "Hello" to get a response off who ever he's supposed to be meeting. The mayor gets a text to get in the car that is in-front of him and so he does, sitting in the front seat of the car. When he gets in, he pulls out a paper brown envelope, passing it to the masked man who's sitting directly behind him, "I did exactly what you said," the mayor says. The masks man brakes his nose by slamming his head on the car wheel as the mayor didn't bring the full amount of money with him, telling the masked man he needs two days to get the rest of the money and the masked man gives him one day, agreeing he will delete the video off his phone for good.

Credit to MTV

When the mayor leaves the compound, another masked man joins the other, with both of them taking off their masks, showing the faces of Will and Jake. Will asks "What the hell was that?" Meaning why he had to harm the Mayor and brake his nose, with Jake saying "Dude relax, i had the mayor eating out of my hand." Jake ensures Will that they will get the rest of the money as they didn't get the amount they wanted but Will tells him he's not doing it again and walks away, "Screw you Jake" he shouts lastly before leaving the compound. 

Credit to MTV

I like where this is going as there is a lot of friction between these two characters and its amount of time before one of them blows up, making the two of them conflict with each other. The blackmailing on the other hand could also blow up in both of their faces, resulting in some nasty situations with the mayor and i want to know what's so bad on that video that they're able to blackmail the mayor with, What could it be? Maybe it's a illegal deal he done with someone and they caught him doing it? We will soon find out. Also now that Will left Jake to deal with the situation on his own, i wonder how things will pan out with the two of them and will they sort things out between each other or will one of them tell someone about the blackmailing video.

This Isn't Over

Jake says "Hey dude," to Will but blanks him and confronts Brooke about her telling Emma that he made a bet that he could sleep with Emma within the first month of their relationship, so he recorded it for proof, which ended up getting sent around school and humiliating Emma. Will asks Brooke "Couldn't you warn me first," with her apologising and that the pressure has been eating away at her, resulting in her telling Emma the truth. Why don't you take a breath, bro?" says Jake with his hand on Will's shoulder and Will doesn't take it to lightly as he drops his bag from his shoulder, telling Jake "Stop telling me what to do BRO." Jake gives him a little word of advice which gets under Will's skin and punches Jake who falls to the ground, "I am done trying to help you" Jake shouts and punches him as he lies on the floor and Will punches him again just before Mr Branson comes in to stop the fight continuing. "This isn't over" Will shouts, with Branson telling him it is and takes Jake to the school nurse.

Credit to MTV

Did you hear that? That was the sound of the bomb dropping between Will and Jake as things blew up, resulting in a typical fight in the school hallway. I told you didn't i? It was a matter of time before these two fell out and have a heated situation between each other. I thought Will did have the right to confront Brooke about her not warning him first about telling Emma but she alsowas in the right for telling her the truth. The only person in the wrong was Jake as he knows how to push Will's buttons, making him agitated with Jake and punches him. 

Did Jake purposely get underneath his skin so it would make a scene at school, so Jake could use this information if he gets in to trouble. For example if Jake was suspected of something by the police, he could pin all the blame on Will and bring up the incident they had in school together, ruling Jake out and making Will the main suspect or... he could just be trying to get more people on his side, making people dislike Will and single him out as an outcast. 

Last Chance To Back Out

Brooke and Jake are hanging out at her house, talking as normal until he wants to get something of his chest. Jake tells her that Nina and Tyler had a video of her dad and maybe they were blackmailing him with it, "How do you know that?" Brooke asks. He explains that after they died, Will kept the video and picked up where they left off, pretending he had nothing to do with the blackmailing her dad and pins all the blame on Will. As the two are talking about the blackmailing her dad, the mayor in fact is watching them both on a camera he has installed in his house, watching and listening to everything Jake has to say, with the mayor writing down "Will" on his notepad. 

Credit to MTV

The two of them are now in her bedroom and Brooke tells Jake that her dad has cameras all over the house accept from her bedroom, so their safe to keep things a secret with in the bedroom walls. "Last chance to back out," Will asks Brooke before showing her the video that him and Will have been blackmailing her dad with but she wants to proceed and watch what's on the video. Brooke presses play on her laptop and see's her dad wondering around the house, shouting to see if he's alone and he is. The mayor then goes to the car garage and opens the trunk of his car, pulling out a body wrapped in plastic, dragging the body from the car and across the garage floor. While Brooke watches her dad drag the body, she tells Jake that it's the same time stamp as when her mother supposedly went away and hasn't seen or spoke to her ever since. 

Credit to MTV

WOW! I did not expect the mayor killing his wife, Brooke's mother! It all makes sense now and how did Will & Jake even get the video in the first place? Did they sneak in to his house and steal the video? That's the only way i could think of them getting it. Plus why would he want to kill her? Unless it was an accident and he didn't want to get caught and so he could keep his job as the mayor. If he gets caught and has to explain himself, i would like to see a little flashback cut scene on what actually happened, showing the audience everything and making the story so much more interesting to watch. 

We also now know that Will is in big trouble as we see the mayor write down his name in the notepad, making us think he's going to find him and question him about the video. It could end up in so many different ways like, it could all backfire back on to Jake and get him into trouble,  Will will get caught by the mayor and get him in trouble or Will and Jake will both get into trouble together, resulting in the two to become friends again and overcome the situation they got themselves into. 

Conclusion

I'm not gonna lie, i thought this episode was the worst one of the series so far because there was no action thrilling scenes what so ever. The episode was more of a continuation from the last episode, finding out the Emma's sex tape, tension build up between Jake and Will and the mystery blackmailing video they used against the mayor. 

With all that said and done, the episode was interesting to find out the major cliff hanger from the last episode but that was about it. The episode did make us question ourselves about Mr Branson and the murder or Brooke's mother. Overall the episode was boring but gave us vital information from the last episode and for the remaining episodes for the season.

Teen Wolf:Season 5, Episode 6

Previously On Teen Wolf

After being bitten on the shoulder by Donovan's hand that had teeth, Stiles runs in the library of his high school, with Donovan close behind him. Stiles gets caught and tries to climb the scaffolding within the library and pulls a pin that makes a bunch of metal bars fall on top of Donovan impaling him to the floor and killing him instantly. 

The group are in possession of The Dread Doctors book and made copies for everyone else to read so they all know what to expect to happen. Scott finds out the author of the book is a man named Valack and him and 3 of his friends go and visit Valack at the Echo House to find out the truth and the mysteries being the book he had written.

Lydia & Stiles are talking to Valack about the book and finding out once you have you have read the it, it makes you see more, opening your eyes to things you haven't seen before. The conversation is interrupted when The Dread Doctors barge into the Echo House Asylum and ripping out Valack's third eye he had in his forehead, with Valack cracking the prison glass with Lydia's recorded scream she did for him earlier. 

When most of the gang is of to find out what the book has install for them, Malia is left alone and Theo offers her to drive his car, since he thinks she needs more practice in driving. Malia is driving his car and gets a terrible flash back to when her mother got killed by the Desert Fox, crashing the car in the woods and making Malia wonder more about the death of her mother. 

Episode 6 - Required Reading

Book Club

The whole packed are gathered around a table which has copies of The Dread Doctors book on it, with the group discussing that some of them might get in to trouble when they read it, "Like Judy...In chapter 11" says Malia since she found the book first and read most of it already. Lydia tells the group she's been having visions of The Dread Doctors, telling the group she needs to find out if they've done anything to her and goes to read the book, with the rest of them following her lead. (Once reading the book, they will obtain memories to see what The Dread Doctors have done to them) "Can anyone feel anything yet?" Scott asks his fellow book club pack but they respond with answers that has nothing to do with the book like, "Tired" & "Hungry." Theo was looking around the room like he's read the book before, seeing if they respond to the book and Kira is struggling to read the words, with them going blurry within her vision.

In the kitchen is Stiles and Malia making coffee for the group and Stiles is rubbing his shoulder where Donovan bit him with his teeth covered hand. "What did you do to you shoulder? I can smell the blood," says Malia. With Stiles replying with a lie that his engine hood of his van fell on him and his heart beat is racing faster as Theo can hear him from in the next room. Theo is still ears dropping on Stiles and Malia as Malia explains about her vision to Stiles, that it felt like she was in the vision rather than a movie playing in her head. Theo turns around as Malia catches him not reading his book and turns around seconds after she see's him, getting some useful information from the two of them in the kitchen.

Credit to MTV

I can imagine how intense it would be gathering all your friends to read a book that could potentially get you in major trouble with The Dread Doctors because they could get some flash back memories of some kind and if Lydia has been targeted by The Dread Doctors, she will find out once after finishing the book. If they did do something to Lydia, i think it would be a interesting story to follow and see her cope with finding out the truth, maybe give her the chance to do some investigation work of her own on The Dread Doctors. 

As for Theo ears dropping on Stiles and Malia's conversation in the kitchen, i think he's trying to gather some information about the group so he can tell The Dread Doctors about them and what their next move is, which is pretty smart and the only way The Dread Doctors can have a chance of winning against Scott's pack. It's all a matter of time till one of them finds out the truth about Theo and i think it will either be Stiles or Malia, as both of them have their suspicions of him already. 

Lydia's Vision

Lydia is the first victim of having a flash back moment as she follows someone out of class as the other girl is waiting for Lydia's mother Natalie for school counseling. Lydia asks her if she's OK, while the other girl shows her a handful of her own hair, saying its "Stress" and Lydia goes over to check the bold patch above the girls ear. As she looks at the girls patch above her ear, Lydia's vision turns the patch in to a bloody hole and makes a noise as if she's been winded in the stomach and collapses on the floor.

Credit to MTV

Lydia can hear voices saying "I told you to stay in the car" and the sound of a drilling noises, with her waking up in a unknown place as she walks through the hallway as a little girl. She turns to one of the rooms to her left where she hears the sound of a drill and see's her mother saying "Why would you do this to yourself" as she looks at the dead body in the bathtub where the women had killed herself by drilling a hole in her own head. Lydia's mother turns to Lydia and yells at her "I Told you to stay in the car, Lydia! I said stay in the car!"

Credit to MTV

The dead women in the bathtub wakes up, telling Lydia "Their coming Lydia, their coming for all of us." Scott is there telling Lydia to breath and asking her if she's OK, with her waking up and realising where she is, telling Scott she's OK. Scott and Theo ask her what she remembered, telling them that she saw her grandmother and when she's about to explain, her mother runs in to the room to see if she is OK, telling her that she only fainted and she's fine.

Well that was rather a strange flash back if you ask me, i was totally expecting it to be about The Dread Doctors but got a whole different story from Lydia's vision. It was quite a traumatic scene to watch, seeing someone be killed by drilling a hole in their own head and waking up to tell Lydia a message, which could mean a couple of things. The message itself could be about The Dread Doctors themselves or something bigger and more dangerous than The Dread Doctors, maybe something their trying to make to fight against Scott's pack? Also, we find out the dead person in the bathtub was Lydia's Grandmother and letting us know that the visions won't just be about The Dread Doctors but hidden memories from their subconscious minds.

Scott's Vision

Scott's about to sign his Drop form so he can drop out of one of his classes with him saying to his teacher "It's to much time, to much work" with a response from his teacher "To be a veterinarian?" and Scott begins to struggle in breathing, telling him that he shouldn't drop out of class. He starts to have fragments of flashback images of a hand covered in blood while holding a dog lead, a hospital bed being toed away and of a barking dog attacking something. His teacher asks him "Whats happening?" "I think... i'm having an asthma attack," says Scott.

Credit to MTV

He is now standing inside the emergency room in the hospital, seeing a younger version of himself being toed away by doctors and nurses in a hospital bed. He can see his mother trying to comfort him while he lies in the bed, holding the dogs collar lead that's covered in blood and asking "Where's Roxy?" With Scott still in the school class room struggling to breath and lying up against the teachers desk. "Scott you need to breath" his teacher tells him. Liam who is practicing Lacrosse outside, hears that Scott is in trouble and runs in the school with his inhaler, snapping Scott from his vision by glowing his wolf eyes towards Scott so he can breath in the inhaler.

Credit to MTV

Another Childhood memory we see as Scott see's himself as a young kid and asking what happened to his dog, not given any major clues on what actually happened with Scott and the dog but it must of been a bad experience for Scott, since it did make him have an asthma attack. Maybe his dog was protecting Scott from something and ended up dying in the process, with Scott getting injured as well. It was a tough one to try figure out, since there wasn't much information from the flashback. I'm also thinking that Scott might question his wolf-like ability because he looked scared and goes in to a deep thought about his inhaler he used to use, maybe thinking he wouldn't want to go back to that life again of being weak and vulnerable, thinking what else The Dread Doctors might do to him next.

Stiles's Vision

Getting in the empty hospital elevator is Stiles, who is about to meet Lydia who he left in the basement. He can see a reflection of a women standing behind him in the elevator doors and she walks out, with him following her down the hospital hallway. "Mom," he whispers to himself, with him carrying on following her to the roof of the hospital. "Mom, what are you doing?" he asks her as she is stand over the edge of the roof and with his father comes running in from behind him. Stiles's father asks what she is doing on the roof with her replying "I couldn't stand to be in that room, not with him looking at me like that, hes trying to hurt me." Mr Stilinski explains to his wife that she needs to remind herself she has Dementia and it's a disease that makes her think of all kinds of stuff.

Credit to MTV

She turns around at Stiles, who is 10 years old in the vision and yells at him, "Stop it, Stop looking at me!" While she runs towards him and attacks him, slapping and scratching him till he falls to the ground, with her on top of him who is still attacking him. Stiles wakes up from being attacked by his mother but wakes up being attacked by a Chimera at the same time and Theo comes out from no where to save Stiles from being killed and fights off the Chimera, having an equal fight until Theo grabs the Chimera around the neck and rips out his throat, letting him choke on his own blood on the floor. "Stiles, you can't say anything, please, don't say anything," Theo asks. "Why not?" Stiles replies, "Because i never said anything about Donovan."

Credit to MTV

Dun, Dun Duuuuuun! Wow, what a great vision and fight scene. Did Stiles already know about his own mother thinking that he wanted to kill her and that she had dementia? If not he must have a lot of questions for his dad, i mean i would anyway. It also makes me think if maybe his mother committed suicide or ran away so she didn't have to put up with being paranoid with her own son but if you're reading this and know the answer, please let me know!

Also that fight scene was epic with all the fight moves, the chimera getting thrown long distances and sparks flying everywhere from when the Chimera bitten through the power cables on top of the roof. When he ripped his throat out, i thought it was a bit extreme to do that since Scott never really kills his victims unless he really needs to but Theo did it with ease, telling us a lot about his characteristics. Plus he knows about Stiles and Donovan! That's going to be a hard situation to get out of now that Theo knows and could potentially ruin Stiles's life and maybe even blackmail him with this information. 

Close Your Eyes

Liam is following Hayden around her workplace like a lost puppy, trying to give her back the money that he owed her for quite some time now. "I know its for your medication, so please take the money," Liam tells her. She refuses and tells him about the medication she's taking for a kidney transplant she had a couple of years ago and Liam thought it was because he punched her in the face by accident a while back. "He never stops bragging about it" as she tells Liam about his boss who is speaking to someone from quite a distance away, with Liam listening in with his wolf super hearing ability. As he listened to the conversation, he looks back at Hayden and tells her to close her eyes for "3 seconds" and she does so after contemplating it. She closes her eyes while Liam grabs a glow stick and snaps it, holding it up to her face and tells her to open her eyes and seeing a different coloured lens inside of her eyes, making Liam have his suspicions about her.

Credit to MTV

This was a short and small scene but i thought it was necessary to include in this post because i thought it could be useful for the remaining episodes. I'm sure loads of Teen Wolf fans was asking the same questions when we saw her eyes shine a different colour. What does that mean? Is she a wolf but doesn't no it yet? Or something else? Or is she going blind? We want answers now!! OK, i'm going a couple of episodes back, to recap and connect the dots together...Remember when she got grabbed by Tracey in the classroom and got her wrist all scratched, with blood everywhere? And then went to the toilet to clean the wound but she didn't appear to have a single mark on her? Well she's obviously a supernatural being of some kind because she healed herself, so i hope that answers part of your wondering minds.

Vision vs Reality

Scott, Malia and Theo are at the hospital and Scott tells them both to go find Stiles when he goes to look for his mother. As soon as he steps out of the elevator, he gets attacked by one of The Dread Doctors and choked up against the wall. The Dread Doctor holds him there as he uses his other arm to electrocute him with his fingertips, while Scott struggles to get his inhaler, dropping it on the floor as he thinks he's in another vision. The Dread Doctor drops him on the floor and smashes the inhaler with his metal boot, picking him up again but even higher and the elevator doors open with Malia standing there with her sharp teeth growling at The Dread Doctor as he chucks Scott to the floor again.

Credit to MTV

She runs from out the elevator to The Dread Doctor and flying-kicks him in the chest, only pushing him back a couple of feet, while Scott's mother Melissa goes over to Scott and gets him inside the elevator. Malia is still fighting off the robotic being as the two of them get to safety and Melissa shouts Malia to come back, "RUN!" she screams and Malia barely gets away with The Dread Doctor close behind her as she runs to the elevator. The elevator doors closes behind Malia as The Dread Doctor was close and nearly gets inside but the door closes in time. "We should of never read that book" says Scott, who's still lying on the ground from being attacked earlier.

Credit to MTV

I don't get why Scott went to get his inhaler, surely you would think it was real since you're physically being lifted off the floor and choked against the wall, that's just common sense Scott. Also why was there only one Dread Doctor? Were the other two on vacation? Or are they making something in their lab and the one Dread Doctor was to distract Scott and the others from finding out? Maybe! I also have another theory, what if when they read the book it made them enter The Dread Doctors world so they can see them more often than usual, basically like a portal to another supernatural world, that would be interesting if that is the case. Plus the only thing that will make me angry is if the only way by killing The Dread Doctors is destroying the book, that's just cheap and unoriginal and the whole season would of been pointless from the very beginning, so fingers cross they do a good job for the remaining episodes like they have done so far.

Conclusion

Without having any major fight scenes accept towards the end of the episode, i would have to say this is one of my favourite episodes and i really enjoyed writing about it. There's a whole lot of new questions that need answering as we see Liam & Hayden get close, What Hayden could possible be, the mysteries of The Dread Doctors book, what the visions mean and what The Dread Doctors initial plan is. This episode gives us a bunch of new questions for the viewers and i can't wait to find out the answers for the remaining episodes.

There were some other scenes in the episode you might think that was useful to know, like Kira's ability makes her unable to read anything, such as The Dread Doctors book which makes me think, is she the solution on ending The Dread Doctor lives but is unaware of her own abilities? Overall this episode was thrilling, intense, creepy and full of new questions for the viewers and i would rate this in the top best episodes for this season so far.
