Audrey is on her computer and then her laptop makes a 'ding'. She looks at the alerted tab, clicks on it, and sees a friend request from Christopher. Audrey scoffs. "You wished, pal." She ignores the request.
"Hello." Margaret says to Scott, standing behind Emma.
Scott smiles at Margaret. "Hello."
"Come on in." Emma steps aside for Scott.
Scott walks to Margaret. "My name's: Scott." He puts out his hand.
"Margaret." She shakes Scott's hand. "But you can call me: Mrs. Duval."
Scott smiles and releases her hand. "Yes, ma'am."
Mrs. Duval allows Scott further into the kitchen, pass her, and gives Emma an approving look; causing Emma to smile.
They notice Scott just looking around the kitchen.
"Dinner's not ready just yet, Scott, so Emma can show you around the house if you would like." Mrs. Duval suggests.
Scott turns with an 'oh' and nods. "Uh, sure." He looks at Emma and shrugs.
Emma turns to her mom, using her hair to cover her face as she walks to Scott, mouthing 'Mom'; in a surprised and annoyed way.
Mrs. Duval smiles as she watches the two walk off.
Minutes later
"And this is my room." Emma says as her and Scott walk into the last room of the 'tour'. Emma jumps on her bed and lies on her stomach.
Scott looks around the room and then chuckles, seeing something that peaks his interest. "You have a Harley Quinn vinyl figure?" He goes straight to the figure.
"Yep." Emma replies. "She's just the right amount of crazy."
Scott turns to Emma. "And I've met plenty with the wrong amount."
Emma giggles, pats her bed, and sits on her knees.
Scott sits where she patted, the edge of the bed, and smiles.
"You live with just your mom, right?" Emma asks.
Scott nods. "Yep."
"Why did your dad leave?"
"He got drunk one night and I got hurt while he wasn't watching."
"So, you were hurt pretty badly?"
Scott shrugs. "I don't really remember."
Emma nods and lies back down.
"What about your dad?"
Emma lets her arm hang off the bed. "My dad left for two reasons really."
Scott listens to Emma's heartbeat. "What happened?"
"He left when he found out about my half sister, but he too got drunk one night…but he…"
Scott notices her heartbeat rise. "You don't have to tell me."
Emma's heartbeat then slows down as she takes a deep breath. "It's okay." She lets it out. "He got drunk and hit my mom."
Scott reaches down and grabs Emma's hand, bringing it up to the bed and holding it with both his hands.
Emma looks to Scott; and their eyes meet.
Scott rubs his thumbs over her hand. "I'm sorry."
Emma rubs her thumb on Scott's hand…she takes her hand away, sits next to him, and interlocks her left hand with his right. "Do you miss your dad?"
Scott tilts his head down to her lowered face. "Yes." He straightens up as she herself brings her head back up.
She looks Scott in the eye. "Do you trust him?"
Scott smiles. "I do."
Emma lightly smiles and lays her head on Scott's shoulder.
Scott then lays his head atop hers.
"Dinner's ready!" Mrs. Duval yells out from the kitchen.
The two teens share a small laugh.
"Come on." Emma pulls Scott to the kitchen, but they release the others hand before they reach the kitchen.
"So, we're not going out to dinner?" Lydia asks Brooke, as she sits in the passenger seat.
Brooke shakes her head. "Nope."
"Then where are we going?"
"Gustavo's."
"Why?"
Brooke shrugs. "Safer."
"Than?"
Brooke smiles and lets out an agitated laugh. "Being out alone, just the two of us, while there's a killer on the loose."
"Please", Lydia looks out the window, "you know how much I've been through."
Brooke licks her teeth. "Yes, but from what I've learned in my experiences", she turns to Lydia, "anything can happen."
Noah drives up to the local park and sees Alice standing between two trees with a basket and blanket in her arms. Noah gets out of his car and chuckles. "Why does every girl I go on a date with make the plans AND BRINGS the supplies?" He asks Alice as he walks to her.
Alice sets the basket down. "Cause you're special." She sets out the blanket.
Noah smiles. "How do you know?"
Alice kisses him on the cheek. "I can just tell." She grins and pulls him down to sit.
The brochure for the hotel falls off of the Jeep's visor, as the vehicle rocks back and forth.
The back window rolls down and Stiles leans out.
Malia joins him. "You okay?"
"Yeah." Stiles answers, breathing heavily. "I just need a small break."
Malia picks up her phone. "Wanna watch some porn?"
Stiles looks at Malia. "Sure."
Scott, Emma, and Mrs. Duval all share a laugh.
"You thought it was guacamole?" Emma asks.
Scott looks at Emma. "I never had wasabi before that night."
Mrs. Duval puts her hand on Scott's shoulder. "You need to get out more."
Emma laughs.
Scott smiles at Mrs. Duval and they laugh with Emma.
Brooke, Gustavo, Mr. Acosta, and Lydia are all eating their dinner quietly.
Brooke swallows her food. "This is really good, Miguel."
"Thank you, Brooke." Miguel says, he then turns to Lydia. "Do you like it, Lydia?"
Lydia nods and smiles. "Very much." She says covering her mouth and immediately goes back to her food, but turns her head to the right.
Miguel and Gustavo share a 'prude' look.
Gustavo looks at Lydia and quickly chokes down his food. "Lydia, can you stay like that please?" He gets up.
Brooke and Miguel start to complain.
"Why?" Lydia questions, narrowing her eyes at the others reactions.
Gustavo sits down with his tablet.
Brooke rolls her eyes and turns to Lydia. "He's going to draw you."
"For what?"
"His comic." Miguel answers.
"Cool." Lydia drinks her water. "When can I move?"
"You're good." Gustavo tells her.
"Can I see it?" Lydia asks.
Gustavo continues to draw. "Yeah."
Lydia goes to his side and sees herself screaming in the picture. "Why am I screaming?"
Gustavo tilts his head to look up at Lydia. "Because it's a horror comic." He uses his eyes to gesture to his dad.
Lydia realizes what he means. "Oh." She then sits back at her chair.
Alice puts her hair behind her ear. "So, how was dinner?" She asks, getting closer to Noah.
"It was good." Noah says, as Alice gently pushes him to the ground.
Alice giggles. "Good." She begins to make-out with Noah.
Noah separates his face from hers. "You are very straightforward."
She then sits on his lap and drags her nails down his chest. "Very." She leans back to his face and continues where they left off.
Noah puts his fingers in Alice's hair, receiving a small moan from her, causing him to groan into the kiss.
Alice sits up and looks at her phone. "We gotta leave now if we want to make it to the movie." She gets up and starts to put everything back into the basket.
Noah stands. "Do we HAVE to go to the movie?"
Alice laughs as she folds the blanket. "It's all a part of my master plan." She jogs to her car and puts everything back inside.
Noah walks to her. "What's the 'master plan'?"
Alice turns and wraps her arms around Noah's neck. "To get you out of your pants."
"Oh, well you didn't have to go through all of this to just do that."
Alice grins. "So, you're a slut?"
Noah widens his eyes. "Male slut shaming. Very feminist of you." He chuckles.
"Oh I know, it's so 2016." She giggles and kisses him again.
Noah pulls away. "Well, let's get to that movie." He pulls her to his car and they get inside. "So, what is the movie?"
"Father Death."
"An indie horror flick." Noah nods and smiles at Alice. "I think I'm starting to fall for you."
Alice bites down on her index finger's nail. "Good." She flexes her brows.
The two then leave.
Emma walks Scott out to his bike as they hold hands.
They stop at his bike; and Scott turns to her.
Scott smiles. "I had fun."
Emma lightly giggles. "Good."
Scott uses his free hand to push back Emma's hair; and she leans into his palm. Scott then kisses her exposed cheek and starts to back away.
Emma gawks at Scott with a grin and stretches out her arm as the two become more distant, still holding hands. "Really, that's it?"
Their hands separate; and Scott sits on his bike.
"Just for tonight." He puts on his helmet.
Emma touches her kissed cheek. "Goodnight, Scott."
Scott kicks the stand. "Goodnight, Emma." He turns on his bike and drives off.
Emma bites her bottom lip, looks down, and turns on her heel. She walks to her house and looks up to see her mom in the doorway. "What do you think?" She asks her mom.
"I like him." Mrs. Duval smiles. "He's sweet."
"Yeah." Emma walks pass her mom.
"And super cute." Mrs. Duval closes the door.
Emma giggles. "Mom!"
Miguel is washing the dishes and Lydia jumps up on the counter next to the sink.
"So." Lydia says.
Miguel looks at her inquisitively. "So?"
"What can you tell me about the Argents?"
"Nothing." He turns back to the dishes.
"My friend was an Argent."
Miguel turns back to Lydia. "Who was your friend?"
"Allison Argent."
Miguel stood straight. "The girl that died a few years back?"
"The same." Lydia nods.
"I doubt these are the same Argents."
"Argent is a French name that means Silver", Lydia says, "so, I doubt Argent is a common name in America."
Miguel whispers: "What do you want to know?"
"Who were they?"
"I'm not giving you names."
"Give me something. Why would someone want to kill them?"
"I don't know. The only thing that connects them are their names."
"What do you mean?"
"The girl is the niece of the family that just moved here, but the man was said to be her father."
"So?"
"So, the 'father' has no blood ties to either the aunt or the uncle of the girl."
"He was adopted?"
"Possibly…but that's not the only weird thing. The girl's aunt, uncle, and some boy they're taking care of live together in a home. Her and her father lived with other Argents in a small condo a few blocks away."
"Why is that weird?"
"A family that is as big and connected as the Argents, you would think they would live closer together."
"What are you trying to say?"
Miguel shrugs. "Maybe they're not a family. I'm not trying to speak lowly of your friend, but maybe the Argent 'family' is some sort of cult."
Stiles and Malia come out of the Jeep, back at Noah's, just as Scott comes back.
"Scott." Stiles jogs to his friend with his phone out.
Scott takes off his helmet. "What?"
"Lydia just sent me a text." Stiles says, as Malia comes behind him. "She says Miguel has been digging up information about the Argents and thinks they're a cult."
Malia asks: "What's so bad about that?"
Stiles turns to her. "Because he's not too far off."
"And if he's that close", Scott starts, "then he may find out who they really are…and what we are."
Noah and Alice are back at the park, still inside Noah's car, and Alice is sitting in his lap again – heavily making-out.
"So, when you do you finally get me out of my pants?" Noah asks, rubbing Alice's thighs.
Alice massages the back of his head with her fingers. "Sex is always on the third date." She starts kissing him again.
Noah grabs her butt, earning a giggle. "Is the third date tomorrow?"
Alice leans her head back with a goofy smile. "No." She looks back at him seductively.
"Then when is it?"
She kisses his lips. "When I say so." She opens the door and jumps out.
"You're like the Pinhead of sex!"
Alice rolls her eyes back. "Oh, talk horror to me, baby." She closes the car door.
Noah quickly rolls down the window. "You can't just leave me here high and dry."
Alice steps back from the door. "Would you settle for a PG-13 ending?"
"What's that?"
Alice then flashes Noah.
Noah's mouth is agape, but he then chuckles; causing Alice to giggle. "My god."
Alice starts to back away to her car.
Noah points at her. "You're just a tease."
Alice winks at him and gets into her car.
Ms. Riley pours a glass of water down her kitchen sink and hears a creek. She looks behind her and walks to the sound.
A Brandon James Mask appears at the window above her sink.
Ms. Riley sees her front door wide open. "What in the world?" She goes to the door, but stops when she grabs the doorknob. Her eyes widen, she looks outside, and says: "Mr. McCall?" She hears rustling, gasps, and quickly shuts her door!
A cloaked figure stabs her back, before she can lock the door.
"Oh!" Ms. Riley cries out.
The figure pulls out the knife.
Riley turns to see the assailant wearing a Brandon James Mask.
"Mr. Mc-?" She stops with a flinch.
The figure leans to her and makes a hissing and clicking sound like that of a Rattle Snake hissing and shaking its rattle at the same time. The figure leans back away from her; and she lurches forward.
The woman then falls to her knees and falls on her face; the figure leaving her dying body. Her clothes begin to burn away from between her shoulder blades, showing a cauterized hole in her body, and her skin becoming pink around it…burning away.
Her front door opens.
The cloaked figure hears this from outside of the backdoor, turns, and slowly backs away into the dark as they watch Emma step into the house.
Emma looks down at the dead woman…then she seems to come back to reality. She sees the dead woman gasps and—
Lydia sits up in her bed and screams!
