Having the most screentime?
The cutest face and hair?
The seat of power in a love triangle or square or pentagram?

They should know the most about whats going on and spur those around them into action.
UnfortunatelyScreams main character is Emma for some reason.
Oh well, at least theres still Audrey.
She mightve gotten herself into an ill-advised pickle or two, but at least shesinteresting.
Cant shade a show that shades itself!
But this episode still had some fun parts.
Lets talk about it.
Suddenly she was interrupted by a call from UNKNOWN, which by law she was forced to answer.
But to be honest, Audreys night was not going great.
But it was better than doing homework, am I right?
So Emma had no choice but to take her dad to coffee and get the 411.
No more questions your honor.
But its nice to have Tom Everett Scott back in our lives?
But lets get back to the murderin already,Scream!
It wasnt there anymore.
It was just a handful of junk.
Which, why did the motel rent this storage locker again?
Just to keep that old sign safe somewhere?
I dont get it.
Anyway, the killer had had a busy night moving corpses around for some reason.
Nobody ever said that being a needlessly complicated serial killer was easy.
Especially because handsome creeps were hanging out in the audience distracting her.
Out of the new characters this guy is doing the best job.
Like, what else would motivate her to want to harm Noah like that?
It didnt help that the new killer was so good at making memes.
Theres nothing worse than getting framed for murder via animated GIF.
At this point Brooke received a phone call from the killer.
Which, okay, cool assumption.
Obviously Riley got extremely killed last season, so her email had been hacked!
But come on, what a weird thing for the killer to do.
Hacking into a dead girls account to make it send emails to the girls friends estranged father?
Nothing makes sense, but maybe thats the point.
Life is a mess.
I know its a trope, but come on.
Maybe look into suspicious behaviora tiny bit?
But yeah, I smell a love triangle brewing, do you?
(They smell like wet potpourri.)
So I am grateful for this motel clerk taking one for the team.
And by taking one for the team, I mean taking a corkscrew to the neck.
Not trying to victim blame here, but come on, victim!
I liked that the teens were going on a weird double-date to seeKiller Klowns from Outer Space.
That is such a fun bad movie.
I still think about the bloody cotton candy sometimes.
It was silly but it worked.
Had HE been the squatter?
But also, LOOK BEHIND YOU!
Someone was in the bathroom!
That actually was pretty frightening to me.
For Audrey too, because then Audrey found herself racing to the motel to save her friend.
But ultimately Emma was saved by the distant noises of a bar fight.
Classic bad dad move.
She now had literal blood on her hands!
Audrey could not be more framed.
In this episode the killer posted at least two corpses and tagged her in both of them.
Thats just rude, but more importantly, it was going to make Audrey more desperate.
Maybe next time she actually WILL bludgeon a friend to death?
Its anybodys guess at this point.
Look, I am going to level with you.
Will we ever possibly care about the whodunnit aspect?
No, and thats the truth.
This show could stand to be about 200 times weirder, but so could everything and everyone.
Right now Im just hoping our main character starts getting a little more informed about whats happening around her.
Is that so much to ask?
Cute face and hair though.
