Sam's father was a serial killer and last year she found out that her boyfriend Richie was also a serial killer. Sam is ostracized in public because of an online conspiracy theory that she was the true mastermind of the latest killings. Sam stopped Richie by stabbing him 22 times and slashing his throat. Sam is secretly dating Danny. As news of Jason and Greg's murders is reported on TV, they also talk about Ghostface masks found in their closets.

Sam refuses to let Danny inside the theatre as she does not trust him. At the theater, Sam sees a hallucination of her father, original Ghostface killer Billy Loomis. Billy asks Sam to take a knife and to kill the killers. Wayne calls Sam and says that Kirby was fired by the FBI 2 months ago for being mentally unstable. Taking his knife from the original murders, she realizes they have been locked inside. Two Ghostfaces appear and attack Chad. They manage to stab Tara who was with Chad. As Chad tries to fight them, he is stabbed by both multiple times. Wayne and Kirby both arrive with guns drawn. Wayne attempts to lend credence toward Kirby being the killer, only to shoot her, revealing himself as a third Ghostface and the mastermind; his accomplices are his children, revealed to be Ethan and a still-alive Quinn, who faked her death to ease suspicion. The trio reveal that they are Richie's family who want to avenge his death. They were responsible for defaming Sam online and plan to frame her for their killing spree. Sam and Tara gain the upper hand and fight off the Bailey family, with Tara stabbing Ethan and Sam killing Quinn, while briefly knocking Wayne unconscious. Sam then dons her father's Ghostface costume, taunts Wayne with a phone call using the voice changer, and viciously stabs him to death. Ethan resurfaces, but Kirby smashes the television set that killed Stu Macher over his head, killing him. Sam agrees to let Tara live her life more independently and Tara agrees to go to therapy. As Mindy, Chad, and Kirby are taken to the hospital, Sam stares at her father's Ghostface mask before discarding it and following Tara and Danny into the city.
