IMOGEN ADAMS:
(SCREAMS)
...has made us very good liars.
The Angela Waters house has this great peeling paint,
and our greens people put some overgrown vines on there,
which makes it look even better.
It was a big challenge to get it well enough for us to go into it,
but it looks amazing.
As Imogen is searching and snooping,
she comes across Crazy Joe.
I told you to let it go.
I'm so sorry.
BAILEE MADISON:
It's like, "Who are you, why are you in the Waters' house?"
He was not only in love with Angela,
but he's tied to A,
he's tied to the people doing this.
No sign of Joe or anyone, anywhere.
It's Thanksgiving night in Millwood.
BOTH: Train car.
(THUNDER RUMBLES)
ANKA MALATYNSKA:
to know when things can be simple.
Low angle of a man hanging in a train car,
illuminated by lightning.
That's scary enough.
TABBY HAWORTHE: Oh, my God, Faran.
I am living for your new look!
Oh. You noticed.
It affected me in a way that I never really realized
that I associated beauty with straight hair.
And I think for Faran, there was also a level of,
"This is what it means to be successful.
And it's other than me."
And so to transform to her natural hair,
she realizes that she can only be
the best version of herself.
And her best is good enough.
Which was so liberating.
FARAN: Kelly, your leg.
Sorry, I have to go.
FARAN: Kelly, what is that?
ZARIA:
that Kelly's hurt in a way that she can understand,
she is able to access an empathetic part of herself,
and she goes, "I want to be who I never got, to you.
I want to give you what I was never given."
And that's a friend. That's someone to talk to.
These two characters have had no one in their life
who would take care of them,
so she just needed someone to say, "It's okay,
I've got you."
Remember how badly you wanted to know what happened
to Karen in those rafters?
I need to know what happened in that bathroom.
More secrets are revealed, the truth is starting to come out.
One of the things we decided very early on
was that we would solve the mystery
of what the original sin was,
and who was tormenting our girls.
Please? We need to know the truth. All of it.
ROBERTO AGUIRRE-SACASA:
it would come down to our girls facing off with their mothers.
A does test the girls.
Are you bullies like your mothers?
AGUIRRE-SACASA:
And they have to hurt the bullies
who have been hurting them all season.
And our girls choose not to do that.
They're very different from their mothers
in the way they're dealing with bullying and teen violence.
Principal Clanton?
Principal Clanton!
Principal Clanton is the father of Angela Waters.
It caught me off guard.
I'm impressed with you girls, truly.
MAIA REFICCO:
and looking back on these episodes,
seeing how his presence has always, obviously, been there
since the first episode.
And how all these Easter eggs have been planted
without us even noticing.
One of the clearest plants for us...
Principal Clanton has a moment with Imogen where he says...
Like mother, like daughter.
There were a couple of theories going around
that A could be one of the girls.
It was really delicious,
the way that Roberto and Lindsay and our creative team
were still able to trick and fool us.
I mean, we're so close.
I thought it might have been Sheriff Beasley.
But I think I was influenced by Faran's thinking on that.
I did not expect him at all. He's just so unassuming.
He was a part of every one of those scenes.
CHANDLER KINNEY:
Beause we're always at school. (LAUGHS)
No, it's really messed up. (LAUGHS)
LISA SOPER:
We have to be very, very strategic in how we block it,
what the mood is, what the tone is.
There are moments in there that literally just call for
a really strong push-in on Principal Clanton.
And don't worry, Tom Beasley will get his.
Oh, he got his.
-(GASPS) -SPEAKER: Kelly!
-(GUNSHOT) -(SHRIEKS)
Big moment for Kelly at that dinner table.
She finally stands up for herself
and stands up for her mom.
Lisa said something so great, you know,
"This is Kelly's moment.
She's doing what Karen could never do.
You're avenging your sister's death."
And tells him he's, you know, he's a monster.
You assaulted a girl.
And Karen's dead because of your actions.
What?
JENNIFER FERRIN:
it was the most traumatic thing she had ever experienced.
And her husband's reveal that he's gonna kill them.
And something clicks for her,
where she's not gonna lose another child.
MARTHA BEASLEY: I already lost one baby.
You will not take another.
Imogen has been the one who has been so obsessed
with figuring out who could be attacking these people,
and why.
And the why is answered.
Oh, my God.
And her sentence is death.
And not just for herself, but for her baby.
Imogen, run.
(PANTING) Oh, my God.
Where do I go?
Travis is an amazing partner. We had so much fun together.
The two of us always had this kind of thing,
like, "When are you gonna chase me?"
(PANTING)
I love doing big, wide, cinematic angles.
DAVID GINSBERG:
with the house in the background...
(SCREAMS)
Looks like a good place to kill someone. (CHUCKLES)
It's a great kind of nod back to the pilot.
We're back in the bathroom.
Not only is she running from the Masked Creeper,
but she is now in labor.
So everything at once is falling on top of her.
I think Imogen, at this moment,
is just running on pure adrenaline, but anger.
(IMOGEN YELLS)
We went in with a plan,
and everyone was really, really dialed.
It was just bam, bam, bam.
TRACEY RUGGIERO:
"I wanna do as much as you'll let me do."
They were nervous, I think. I felt really loved.
She was so, so committed. And she killed it.
I thought that we found a really great moment
to put that 520-degree angle spin into the Creeper.
Just that one moment.
Because those really special shots, I feel like,
start to lose their power.
BAILEE:
This is for all the pain and the hurt that you have caused.

SPEAKER 2:
We have a group of very special young women,
who are extremely talented,
extremely hard-working.
I love stunts, I love walking away with bruises on my body
and being like, "Look what I did, Ma!"
LINDSAY CALHOON BRING:
and handling it all so beautifully.
I don't feel safe anymore.
The important message that we're portraying is that
you're not alone.
I am thankful we're telling that story.
It just felt so important.
Five resourceful young women can affect change
and make the world better.
On top of everything else, they're just really good people
and fun to be around.
It is our sincere hope that the story
that we've started to tell in season one continues.
Perhaps a new horror villain.
Yet to be met and seen.
Do we think it's over over?
Or is there a sequel?
