The Final Girl Support Group

Dani explains that the Final Girls also took Skye with them, based on Lynnette’s warnings.

Before Lynnette, Dani, and Stephanie get to Camp Red Lake, Dani pulls over to pee. Suddenly, Stephanie hits Lynnette in the head with a sledgehammer, and Lynnette falls out of the car. As Dani comes out of the bushes, Stephanie runs her over with the car, but Dani somehow evades the attack. Horrified, Lynnette realizes she brought Stephanie right to the Final Girls.

Dani pops up out of nowhere, punches Stephanie over and over again, and then goes to help Lynnette. But Stephanie isn’t done. She hits Dani with the gun, and they wrestle until Dani gets away. As Lynnette plays dead like she did with Ricky Walker, Stephanie drives off toward Camp Red Lake.

Lynnette forces herself to climb the hill to the camp. She hears Adrienne’s voice telling her to keep moving, to get up, and to not let Adrienne’s sacrifice go to waste. At camp, Lynnette goes into the dining area and finds Julia hiding in a storage closet—Julia went to get sunscreen for everyone at the lake. They find Dani facedown, but breathing. As Lynnette and Julia figure out somewhere safe to put Dani, they see a man with an automatic rifle. Lynnette panics, but Adrienne’s voice urges her on.

Lynnette suddenly remembers the camp has a panic cabin—a secure enclosure that will keep them safe. They find the other Final Girls, but after the women go into the cabin, Lynnette decides to go back out the trap door. She will be a decoy so the rest can get free. Lynnette gets to the Wellness Barn and breaks open the door. Pushing herself through pain, she comes to the hydrotherapy room. Skye is there, but by this point, Lynnette doesn’t feel she has anything left. She is about to give up when suddenly, Heather hits him hard in the back of the neck with the lid of a toilet tank, knocking him out.

Heather and Lynnette determine that Skye is still alive and decide not to kill him because he’s still Dr. Carol’s son. Just then, Stephanie sneaks up and puts a shotgun to the back of Heather’s neck. Stephanie doesn’t care about Lynnette, but killing Heather will make Stephanie and Skye famous. After hearing about how Stephanie and Skye met, a shocked Lynnette tries to make Stephanie see what’s really going on: “He groomed you […] You’ll be just another victim of a powerful, manipulative male” (324). Stephanie will only be a footnote, while all the glory will go to Skye. Calmly, no longer frightened at all, Lynnette challenges Stephanie to kill Skye. When Stephanie hesitates, Lynnette attacks Stephanie and holds her down. Stephanie begs Lynnette to kill her, but Lynnette waits until law enforcement shows up and puts cuffs on Skye and Stephanie.

The Final Girls visit Stephanie in prison. They are all famous again, though Dr. Carol has decided to take a long leave of absence from the group. Dani is using a wheelchair now, so Julia gives her some tips on getting around. Marilyn has put Lynnette’s plant Fine in her yard, and it’s flourishing.

Lynnette says Adrienne was the best of them. Marilyn agrees—Adrienne never stopped caring, so she saved all of them. Lynnette ran into Garrett in front of the prison. He offered to work together again, but Lynnette refused.

Stephanie arrives to the visiting room. She explains more of her story: After Skye spent years seducing and grooming her, Stephanie gave Skye all the information he wanted about Camp Red Lake. He planned to kill everyone his mother cared about and leave her career shattered. Seeing that Stephanie is another victim and survivor of a monster, Lynnette welcomes her to the Final Girl support group.
