In the Roberts house, Grace is sitting in the kitchen waiting for her dad to be done talking with Sidney.

"She's so pretty. When you think about what she's survived, she must have scars everywhere" Kirby says talking about Sidney.

"Shh! Come on" Jill whispers to Kirby.

"Her mom was my sister. I have scars too. No one ever asks me about my scars." Jill's mom says.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Roberts" Kirby says uncomfortably.

"She means knife scars mom" Jill says.

"Like my mom and dads. They try to hide them from me, but I can still see them" Gracie says, eating her macaroni.

"Oh." Mrs. Roberts says not knowing what to say next.

Gracie picks up her bowl of macaroni and sits at the bottom of the stairwell and listens to Dewey and Sidney's conversation.

"How are you? How's Gale and the little one?" says Sidney

"I'm alright and Gracie is growing so tall now. But Gale, it's been hard on her. Small town, small-town husband, small-town family. Not much to write about." Dewey says

"You two okay?" Sidney says

"Well, I read somewhere once. Just when you think things can't get any worse, sometimes they don't. Sometimes they get better. Out of Darkness by Sidney Prescott, page 220" Dewey says.

After a little longer Dewey stands up and says, "I gotta get going. Gracie? We're leaving"

Gracie met her father and Sidney at the door as Sidney said, "It's nice to see you Dewey. We've been through a lot together."

"And we'll get through this together. Okay?" Dewey said.

Grace and Gale walk on the lawn outside Woodsboro Community Hospital. As Gale sees two boys she picks up speed and grabs Gracie's hand, "Hold on to Mommy okay? Don't leave my side"

As she gets closer she hears the boy with the headset say, "... Our local legacy, The Stab movies, is coming to life."

"Excuse me. Are you recording with that thing?" Gale says to the boys.

"Live video-blog upload. He's webcasting right now," the long haired boy said.

"Mind turning it off for a little old-school off the record?" Gale says

"Can't. Owe it to my audience" The boy with the headset said.

"What audience? When Tara's older sister was babysitting, Chad and Mindy showed us your blog. Weak numbers my friend" Gracie says

"You probably can't even count up to our 'weak numbers'" the long haired boy said.

"Oh I definitely can, any third grader could" Grace said with a smile.

The boy with the long hair went toward Grace but Gale stepped infront and yelled, "Turn that fucking thing off"

"Ok" the boy with the headset quickly complies.

"So you two are the boys that run the movie club at Woodsboro High, huh?" Gale says with a fake enthusiasm.

"Charlie runs it. I'm just the VP, in case he takes a bullet" the headset boy says.

"It's called Cinema Club" Charlie, the long haired boy says.

"So you must have a very unique insight into the movie buffs at your school?" Gale questions.
