WARNING: Several *critical* spoilers ahead that could ruin the entirety of season two of “Scream.” Beware.

Okay guys, it happened. It all happened. Everything happened.

Last Tuesday, Aug. 16, was the season two finale of “Scream” on MTV, and for lack of a better word, it was quite lit.

Season two was somewhat of a collective summer television masterpiece of its own, somehow topping the suspense and gore that season one brought. Season two may have been slow at first, with several new character developments and a different version of virtually the same story building in momentum. But once it took off, there was no way of stopping the bloody-murder-train-of-mystery.

I will admit, most of my chips were on Zoe being Piper’s accomplice, a.k.a. the new killer in town. Everything seemed like too much of a coincidence with her character and storyline — and I must admit that she got way too close to Noah (if you know what I mean, wink-wink-nudge-nudge), raising several red flags for me as well. Zoe seemed to be in the right place at the right time for several things, she seemed a bit suspicious and super jealous of Audrey, and her interest in Noah really made me wary of her, which may sound super cynical of me.

However, in Episode 10, Zoe died. Which made me happy and sad for a multitude of reasons, one most notably being that my theory was wrong for most of the season. I was happy Zoe was not the killer, since that means she really did genuinely like Noah. Zoe’s love for Noah breaks down several horror-genre stereotypes about the “nerd” and his virginity, which “Scream” is known for loving to do. Part of why I love this show is how it tears down common horror tropes, like right here with Noah and Zoe.

So, who was next on my list? As the season wound down to an end, I had to rethink my strategy. And something popped into my head that I did not really want to allow myself to think. And that was how boring and distant Kieran was for the season.

But, I did not think it could be Kieran. No way. He is way, way too boring. I thought he was the next to die. He was the worst character of the series by far. Too pretty, too serious, too bland.

And then by the finale, all signs pointed to Kieran, and it made perfect sense that it was him all along. If you look back, he was always gone when the killer was present and he was just too innocent. There was also the fact that he and Emma were “dating,” too. (Side note: Can we talk about how Audrey basically admitted that she loved Emma and it was not addressed further at the end of the season? Please?)

Still shocked, I watched the last 10 minutes of the 12th episode of season two with a hand over my mouth as the stellar reveal unfolded.

Eli came in to save Emma and Audrey as well as warn them, and it all still seemed so, so untrue. Kieran was the good, vanilla boy that he was — until the moment came where everything clicked in place for Emma.

Then, the rest of the episode was a blur as Eli met his unfortunate demise and Emma and Audrey used their girl power and mega-awesome escape skills to destroy Kieran without killing him, waiting for the police show up and throw his a** in jail, so to speak.

Emma and Audrey’s second sole takedown of a killer also reinforces the heavy feminist undertones of the entire series, showing that these final girls never need a man to come to their rescue when it comes their own safety and the safety of their loved ones. Emma and Audrey killed Piper on their own in season one, and although Emma had the capability of killing Kieran season two, she and Audrey chose the more painful route for Kieran in the long run, which was life in jail.

The very end of the episode showed what seemed like the new Lakewood-Survivor-Squad (Emma, Audrey, Noah, Brooke, and Gustavo) return to somewhat of a normal life. But of course, that is never a reality, as proven by the two shockers that hit us in the last few seconds of the season; one is that Maggie finds a note that may confirm the return of Brandon James in Lakewood, and the second is Kieran receiving a call from none other than the Brandon James while in jail, which definitively confirms his return for what I hope is a season three renewal.

Although a Halloween special was just recently confirmed, I hope there is another season of “Scream” in the future. I am not quite ready to let go of this mystery, and although season two’s ratings are not as strong as season one’s, I have faith in this show and know that another season will bode well for MTV’s network as a whole.

And selfishly, I just want to see my favorite strong female leads take over the world (or just Lakewood) and my favorite excitable, yet sad nerd return to his beloved podcast.
