MTV’s ‘Scream’ finale reaction: Boss on surprise twist, killer reveal

For the most part, we’re not going to say we were surprised by the events of the “Scream” finale on Monday night, mostly because we had a strong suspicion for at least a couple of weeks that it was none other than crime-podcaster Piper who was behind most of the killings (if not all of them). Not only that, but we also weren’t too shocked to learn that she and Emma were actually half-sisters. In some ways, you could say that it was a flaw of the show having the reveals be too obvious, but at the same time, we will at least give them a little bit of credit because at least there was some continuity and sense to it all when you think about it. It’s better than something that unpredictable, but also fails to make any sense.

The big twist we didn’t see coming was that Audrey was also involved somehow … but how much? Did she actually kill anyone? This is something that executive producer Jill Blotevogel would neither confirm or deny in a postmortem with The Hollywood Reporter:

“The only act that can be verified is the attack in the abandoned auto dealership where the masked figure attacked Will and Piper. It’s safe to assume that was Audrey doing that. What we like is not in terms of the murders themselves, there is no concrete evidence that Audrey was committing anything illegal. We know Piper is the confessed killer at the end of season one, but we are leaving a world of possibilities open in terms of Audrey’s involvement. That is part of the mystery that we are going to dig into in season two. In other words, I don’t want to say [Laughs].”

It’s also made clear in the interview that it is possible that we see more of Piper via flashbacks in the second season, that there were times when they considered other killers, and the show is really going to dig into Audrey in season 2 and make this character even more complex. Not everything may be quite as it seems right now…
