Chapter 16 Summary: “The Final Girl Support Group XVI: Season of the Final Girls”

Lynnette and Stephanie try to meet with Chrissy to ostensibly sell her “murderabilia,” but when Chrissy recognizes Lynnette, she refuses to meet them. They follow her car to her house in the woods and wait. After a while, Lynnette takes out her gun, tells Stephanie to look for her if she doesn’t come back in an hour, and starts making her way toward the creepy cabin. Stephanie doesn’t appreciate being left with no weapons.

Chapter 17 Summary: “The Final Girl Support Group XVII: Bride of the Final Girls”

Lynnette comes across dolls hanging from branches, a toy cemetery, abandoned appliances, and a windchime made of screwdrivers. Suddenly, a man assaults her from behind, pulling her by the hair into a house. She uses her box cutter to cut her hair to free herself. She runs to get her gun and is about to shoot him when Chrissy appears and tells her to stop. The man is Chrissy’s boyfriend Keith. Chrissy sends him away, annoyed that Lynnette wasted her entire afternoon with a fake transaction.

The Final Girls support group considers Chrissy, who became a Final Girl at a homecoming massacre, a traitor because she champions the killers’ rights. Dr. Carol theorizes that Chrissy switched loyalties because her monster was her godfather, but Lynnette thinks she’s acting erratic and dangerous.
