Last Monday night, MTV finally premiered the highly anticipated second season of it’s, "Scream: The TV Series," and what a nail biter it delivered. The finale of season one left fans with plenty of juicy cliffhangers to build theories off of, but MTV made sure to keep us obsessing until the last grueling minutes of this first episode. Warning, this review contains spoilers! Enjoy, scream team.

1. Emma’s Mental Health:

In the beginning moments of season two, we learn Emma has been away from Lakewood for about three months at a treatment center. She was dealing with the psychological trauma she endured from Piper’s rampage. It’s clear she possess insecurity about her reputation after being labeled the “survivor girl” and her worrisome mindset constantly brings her back to the dark thoughts of being a victim. I could sense the vibe that Emma knew there were still unanswered questions about Piper’s ulterior motives for committing the heinous murders. Right before Audrey shot her, she told Emma that she had one more surprise before attempting to murder her, which has left us as viewers hung up on the fact of what exactly that surprise would have been. Lastly, we’re exposed to the utterly strange dreams Emma conjures up about an eerie pig farm where she sees herself as a little girl. She mentions to Noah and Brooke later on in the episode that this dream has been appearing in her head since she was a child. My guess is this barn or location has some significance to Emma’s past but it’s unclear in what way, for now.

2. Audrey’s Involvement:

The new killer this season wastes no time tormenting Audrey about her role in all of this mess. As we already know she had some sort of connection to Piper as we see her burning letters the two had exchanged, presumably before the time of the first string of murders. This partnership becomes slightly less foggy when the killer calls and texts Audrey telling her that, “she and Piper had quite the thing going,” and “you think you can get away with murder? Well you can’t.” Not only does she receive those threats but the killer also prints out copies of the letters and hangs them up all over a bathroom stall at her workplace where we catch small glimpses of their contents. Clearly Audrey was unhappy with her place in Lakewood and Piper must have taken advantage of that. Throughout the rest of the episode the word accomplice keeps springing up. Every time this happens, Audrey’s face turned sour and continually denied that there could not have been one, and wishes everyone would drop that idea and leave it in the past, just as they did with Piper. This makes me fairly suspicious that even though Audrey had contact with her, she might have not actually killed anyone after all, and Piper could have kept that fact that she had an accomplice from her the entire time.

3. The Murder Board:

Before the season started we were teased with the concept of the murder board by none other than the witty Noah Foster. His theories of Piper’s motives, connections to the murders, and the possibility of an accomplice have boiled over into a full blown obsession. In the premiere, many of Noah’s friends share their concerns that his investigating could either be a lost cause or way too over the top. Regardless of the talk, Noah is convinced he’s that much closer to figuring out who the accomplice could be but is still missing one crucial piece of the puzzle, which in this could be Audrey’s connection or something else we as viewers aren’t fully aware of yet. My theory is that this murder board and all of his investigating will get him into trouble and cause him to come face to face with the killer as he attempts to keep his or her identity a secret.

4. Jake’s Death:

A moment of silence as I’m still recovering from this death. I can honestly say I didn’t see this one coming. The producers teased at the fact that someone in the main cast would be axed off in the first episode but I thought Jake’s slot on "Scream" would hold strong this season. The budding romance between he and Brooke sounded promising and would’ve made for an intriguing backstory if the producers allowed it to grow. Apparently the untimely death of Jake in this season sets the tone for the rest of the reason and throws all the characters for a loop into what is sure to be one hell of a roller coaster ride. There was one character I was certain would be killed off and that was Seth Branson, the teacher. His character development hit a wall once his secret relationship with Brooke was exposed and he was almost framed for all the murders taking place in Lakewood. His situation would’ve made him a perfect contender for murder, similar to the death of Cotton Weary in "Scream 3."

5. Stalker Alert:

At the end of this first episode Emma discovers in an old house (situated on the same property as the old pig farm) a collage of pictures from past and present that outline the tactics of a stalker of sorts. This made me wonder if the second killer behind the Brandon James mask is someone closer to Emma then we think. The person harassing her obviously has some sort connection to her past as well as her current social life and family or one of her friends could be working behind her back and providing the killer with information. The possibilities in the "Scream" universe are endless.
