Scream
Season 2 Episode 4 “Happy Birthday To Me”

Three episodes into the second season of MTV’s Scream and there’s been a lot of time spent on introducing new characters, and re-establishing the holdovers. Unfortunately, not much has been done to establish a new plot. Season 1 had the whole Brandon James storyline and the 20-year Lakewood mystery. This season all we have so far is a new killer continuing where Piper Shay left off, only this time focusing their text-torture on Audrey (Bex Taylor-Klaus) rather than Emma (Willa Fitzgerald). Audrey had some connection to Piper for the killer to hold over her, and she is running around Lakewood trying to clean up her tracks before her secrets get exposed. Emma meanwhile, is dealing with the reemergence of her father (Tom Everett Scott), whose hotel room is the scene of the killer’s latest murder. This week, it’s Kieran’s (Amadeus Serafini) birthday and the killer plans on crashing the party.

Last week in Scream… no one died. However, a corpse was found, so that counts. Audrey (Bex Taylor-Klaus) was communicating with season 1 killer Piper Shaw, so tried to clean up her tracks. When Noah (John Karna) told her about a secret storage unit Piper kept, she snuck off to investigate alone and found the disemboweled corpse of Jake (Tom Maden). Not knowing her boyfriend was dead, Brooke (Carlson Young) was preparing for a romantic night out with him. And Emma (Willa Fitzgerald) seemed to find the cure for her PTSD with a tryst with Kieran (Amadeus Serafini). However, her walk home was interrupted by a driver giving chase, who turned out to be her long lost father Kevin (Tom Everett Scott).

Spoilers ahead.

When I was a kid there was no greater 2-hour block of TV than 3:00 – 5:00 after school on FOX. It was 4 straight kickass cartoons, all of which launched me into action figure glory. The shows were She-Ra, He-Man, Thundercats, and Voltron. As for Voltron, memories of my Dad dashing around Brooklyn to various Toys R-Us locations in an effort get me all five lion toys that together would combine to form Voltron. In my house phrases like “I’ll form the head”, and “Form blazing sword” were common speak. Nearly 30 years later, Netflix has brought the series into its growing array of original programing with an 11-episode opening season that premiered on Netflix just this week. The show features the voice talents of Tyler Labine (Tucker and Dale vs. Evil), Jeremy Shada (Adventure Time), Bex Taylor-Klaus (MTV’s Scream), Josh Keaton (Green Lantern: The Animated Series), and Steven Yeun (The Walking Dead).

Second episode of the season, and the second one named for a horror flick. Emma (Willa Fitzgerald) returned to Lakewood last week after a time in a rehab center, and she’s being handled with kid gloves by her friends. Noah (John Karna) started a blog about the Piper Shaw murder spree and the Survivor 6, but fans of his blog may be taking things too seriously. A group organized a prank of Audrey (Bex Taylor-Klaus) at her movie theatre job, which almost had disastrous results. Audrey is now receiving texts and calls from an unknown stalker who seems to want to peg her as Piper’s apprentice and conspirator. Emma is haunted by dreams of an old farmhouse which turns out to belong to the brother of Brandon James, the infamous Lakewood killer. Meanwhile after Brooke dumps him in a pool, Jake (Tom Maden) is attacked by a new masked maniac and done in with a scythe. The Survivor 6 is down a man… and counting.

First off, that title right! Last season Emma Duval (Willa Fitzgerald) had her world turned upside down as she was targeted by a masked psychopath obsessed her and her friends and family. Turns out the Lakewood town boogeyman Brandon James, had a fling with Emma’s mom Maggie (Tracy Middendorf), producing an orphaned offspring. That offspring disguised herself as internet blogger and reporter Piper Shaw (Amelia Rose Blaire). Emma watched as several of her friends, including her boyfriend, were brutally murdered before delivering the final death blow to Piper herself. Tonight marks Emma’s return from a recovery retreat, and she’s looking to relax with new boyfriend Kieran (Amadeus Serafini), and her friends Audrey (Bex Taylor-Klaus), Noah (John Karna), Brooke (Carlson Young) and Jake (Tom Maden). That’s way too many friends for a sequel… and if you remember Randy’s rules from the film version of Scream 2, then you know sequels are always bloodier with many more victims. Luckily for us; not so much for Emma, there’s a new killer stalking Lakewood, happy to see her return.

Spoilers for Scream ahead…
