The best episodes of mystery television are the ones that have fans theorizing as soon as the credits roll. By that standard, this was a great episode for MTV’s Scream. Between introducing new characters, a handful of surprise reveals, and some possibly telling behavior from the Lakewood Six there is plenty here to pick over for clues. Now it should be said that this episode goes heavier on exposition than on plot, but not to any measurable detriment. Things still manage to move along just fine, and exposition feels like the right move for a second episode. By diving right into the plot and lore of season 2, this episode laid out a few crucial threads viewers can expect to be following for the summer. It’s an excellent hook to follow the refresher course that was the first episode of this season.
