*NEEDS PICS* Freddy's Nightmares S1E7
Episode 7 "Sister's Keeper"
This is a very interesting episode as this is a followup to the 1st episode. Might be a good idea to brush up on that one first before you proceed.
This episode starts off with Lisa sneaking in her boyfriend. She tells him that she had a great time with him but the boyfriend of course wants to have some more time with her. So they both go and makeout for a bit.
Meanwhile her twin sister is in the other room and she starts to get a nightmare. She wakes up in her room and walks over to her mirror where she is continued to be haunted by Freddy Krueger who smashed through the window and drags his claws on her chest. She wakes up for real but the claw marks on her chest is also real.
At the same time Lisa is making out with her boyfriend she also has a spontaneous claw mark too and kicks out the boyfriend. She gets irked when she sees her twin, Merit, awake and sitting at the window sill. Upon asking about the mirror, she snaps at her sister for still believing in Freddy Kruger.
Not sure how much time has passed but it must have been a while since their father died and of course Merit thinks Freddy Kruger is behind it. Lisa is more skeptical as ever. She wants Merit to get over her trauma already, but she says it in much more friendlier words I guess. The trauma is fresh as hell so that ain't going away any time soon, Lisa.
It's late so they both go to bed. Of course Merit can't have a good night's sleep and she proceeds to have another nightmare of Freddy taking form of a demonic blanket and suffocating her while Lisa is across the room and laughing maniacally. She yells at her sister for help but Lisa says she doesn'e believe in him so NO!
It is now the morning and she wakes up to her mom yelling at her to get ass downstairs to eat some breakfast with her family. Off topic but get a load of this kitchen. This show had a really low budget as this kitchen is basically the same as previous episodes.
OhEmGeee of course she is wearing black like a moody teen. The mother is too busy with work and stuff and Merit is at the table for barely a hot second before she finds any excuse to up and leave. Lisa tells her mom to not baby her but her mom is her mom, ya know? That IS her little baby! Lisa is just being a bitch. But the mom rushes out the door as she is late for work.
Merit comes back in to sit back at the table. Lisa acknowledges how overloaded she is with everything so shs strongly cautions Merit to not say a word about her still nightmaring Freddy and Merit actually agrees. When Lisa flops her hair to the side, Merit notices her neck is red as fuck. but her on the other hand is totally unphased by it for some reason.
But away they head to school.
While Merit is outside studying and doing some school work, her friend with a guitar scme to seranade the shit out of her. Aw he pulls out some flowers and formally asks her out on a date. The dude's named is Rizzo.
Lisa, her boyfriend and a friend of hers are just a few yards away witnessing this cute scene. Except that the friend is taken aback on why that dude is trying to court the crazy girl. Lisa gets snippy with her and defends her sister's honor. How sweet.
The school bell rings and everyone trots off to class.
While Merit is at her locker Alison comes up to her and taunts her some more. Merit brings this up to her sister later on in the day but Lisa refer to her as just another stuck up bitch. This leads them into another argument because Lisa tells her that she is being way too negative and all around she just has very little patience with her no nonsense attitude. Merit is troubled and no one really sees it how she does and that shit is frustrating and says to Lisa to try being her for a day and see if she still feels the same. Then stomps away.
"Okay, I will."
It is now nighttime and Lisa is trying to sleep but she is irritated when she sees Merit up with the lights on reading a book. She's still scared to sleep for fear of Freddy. Aye, this again.
Merit puts down her book and heads to the bathroom where she gets a hallucination. She sees a white light and walks into it. Inside this room first is Rizzo playing his guitar on one end of the room but she turns her head and sees Freddy dragging his metal claws against the chalkboard. She turns her head and Rizzo is no longer there. Well crap when she turns her head once again to face Freddy, he is now holding an electric guitar and mimic's Rizzo's love song for her.
I would get scared as fuck too.
At least she was able to wake up to yet another day but Lisa is already out of bed. Hmm she has a habit of not even making her own bed so WTF is up with that, yo?
Walking down the hallway random people be taunting her with "Have you seen Freddy today?" but she ignores it. Lisa's boyfriend comes up to her to ask where Lisa be at? For some reason Merit totally lies and says she is home sick today. Then he has the audacity to ask out Merit but she is a smart girl and reads between the lines. Plus, this dude isn't good at hiding his ulterior motives so Merit calls him a creep and slaps him.
Class is about to start so Merit takes her seat where that mean girl, Alison comes up to Rizzo who happens to be sitting behind her to flirt. Merit tries to tell her to fuck off but Alison is stubborn as fuck. Plus, it's obvious Rizzo doesn't give a hoot for Alison. Alison is what today's peeps would call a thirsty ass bitch.
School day is now over and she is back at home but umm wow looks like Merit is impersonating her sister as she has herself all dolled up. She gets the door and what a surprise the boyfriend has come to perk "Lisa" back up and gives her a big smoochies. All she has to do is talk in monotone with a dead look on her face and boom! No one be none the wiser.
A little awkward but yeah.
In class, Alison continues to bully her.
Eh, well during the makeout session Merit has a change of heart and stops mid and confesses that she is Merit. Instead of being flabbergasted he is quite turned on. He tries to go in for a kiss but this time knowing she's Merit, she's taken aback and slaps him once again.
It is now night time and Lisa is miraculously back. She stomps to her room and angrily confronts Merit on stealing her boyfriend. A simple sorry ain't going to cut it neither.
Sleepy sleep time and in the middle of the night, while Merit is trying to sleep, John creeps up to Merit's bed and says "I always liked you Lisa" Merit corrects him but nope, he is not convinced. Especially when she points to her across the room. But wait oh holy hell Lisa on her bed looks sickly so of course he don't curr. In fact, he says "Well, let me put it this way: you WILL be Lisa when Lisa's gone."
Gone?
Freddy approaches Lisa's bed and gutterals out: Gone.
Lisa jolts up to see his ugly mug and runs like hell \ while Merit screams that now he is in both of their dreams! Oh noes.
Merit runs out and sees a white light and runs into it. All she can hear while she is in darkness is hearing the repeated words of Lisa telling her to stay out of her life. Merit is still trying to yell for her.
The next scene of this nightmare is now shown to have Merit sitting with restraints in one corner while various classmates are taunting her and throwing stuff with Lisa in the background taunting her as well.
Merit springs awake from her nightmare and once again, Lisa is not in her bed. She goes to the bathroom and sees the claw marks Lisa got in her nightmare seem to have a real life marking on her back.
Next, she runs to the kitchen where her mother and sister are eating breakfast at the table. She pleads for both of them to take her serious and that Freddy is back. Her mother is just like OMG Merit your shirt is dirty.
Wait.
She now claims that she is Lisa and not Merit. I am getting totes confused here. Her mother says not to worry she will call the doctor to get her back on the right track. This angers her even more because of the identity switch. The more she pleads with them to believe she is really Lisa, the more they are like uhhhhhh cuckoo 🐦
Ah, too late. People from the mental hospital arrive and drag her away!
So yes, Lisa is now the new Merit and she is in a strait jacket while Freddy is taunting her and she ends up fainting. She is totally going to feel that in the morning.
Welp, it's the morning now and Lisa wakes up to Merit on her bed happy that the drugs wore off. Lisa smacks her sister across the face mad as hell that she impersonated her yet again which led her to the mental hospital. Merit said she had no choice but to act as her because if she would have backed up her story then they would have got her too. Integrity? I don't know her.
Silver lining though? Merit is relieved that maybe now Lisa believes her that Freddy is for realsies.
Except that nope, Lisa is is too stubborn to admit that and says it was all just a very bad dream. That's all. In fact, she blames Merit for influencing her sub conscious since Freddy is all she talks about. Merit is like bruh.
Lisa snaps and yells at her despite Merit pleading for them to work together. She's infuriated that she dragged her into this crap. Honestly, can't blame her. She says some hurtful things to Merit saying she wish she was an only child.
Miffed as hell she goes to the kitchen and tries to plant some insidious thoughts towards Merit. Things get freaky when her mom goes "Lisa? Who dat? You're Lisa." Nope doesn't ring a bell so she walks over to the sink to snap off the blades of knives and sticks them to her fingers and says scary cryptic shit . Which transforms into Freddy Kruger. Ah shit.
Yes it was sure a nightmare. Merit is at Lisa's side when she wakes up but this time she gives Merit a big hug and she FINALLY believes her. Now, what do they do now?
Both are now at school in the courtyard. Lisa brings Merit coffee and they have been up for 4 days now but wait her next class is Calculus which is a notorious boring class. The struggle is real, yo.
Both are in their respective classes and both are boring as fuck so they are nodding off. Lisa, the one with the more white shirt sticking out, convulses at her desk in front of all the students so she runs out of the classroom where Freddy is taunting her with his dad jokes and all. She sees her wrist is bloodied but she bumps against the stairs and goes tumbling down. She runs into Merits class to wake her up. I'm just as confused as you are on what's real or nightmare but yeah this is real life (just the episode, duh).
Both of them are outside of the school building. Frustrated that it is only a matter of time before one of them sleeps for real that they need a better plan. Merit thinks she knows someone who might help. Her guidance counselor.
They don't give him the whole story obviously but they inquire on what it might mean if they, being twins, share a dream. He is readily available to give the insight that it is not unheard of for twins to share dreams so therefore, it is implied to be possible for them too. That is all they needed to hear and rush out of the office.
It is night time at this point and after setting an alarm clock, they make sure to fall asleep at the same exact time to hopefully be in each other's dream this time. Here goes nothing!
Their heartbeats as they sleep eventually are on the same rhythm implying that it is a success!
Merit is the first to become lucid in her nightmare but to her dismay, no Lisa! She is so quick to shit talk her calling her a chicken. Literally a split second after she said that Lisa calls out for her. She is making her way travelling in the sewers to follow her voice in which the door she goes into was a variation of her room.
Except, no Lisa but Freddy who loves scaring the shit out of her so he does it some more. Spooked, Merit goes to leave the room but the knob just slides off so she is stuck in the room. Bummer. Freddy is inching towards her slowly in creepy horror fashion but Lisa pops behind him as she was hiding in the shadows and wacks him with a gold club (I think?) and he shrivels into clothes.
The alarm wakes both of them up.
Happy that the shared dream theory is no longer a theory but now their next step is to make Freddy's absence be permanent.
Next day in class, the school counselor is in front of a class giving them a demonstration on twins in which Merit and Lisa have agreed to be under hypnosis already. It was to prove that twins have a deep connection that they can share thoughts, feelings, etc. A little risky but okay. He tells the sisters that on the count of three that they will view an empty classroom aaaaand GO!
To no one's surprise, it worked.
Class bell rings and everyone skedaddles out of the classroom. They just have to be *NSYNC. Oops sorry I meant in sync.
Come dinner time their mother notices both are replying at the same time even if she is just talking to one or the other. Eh. she continues on with life. She's just happy as long as they are getting along much better now. Then she stuffs her face.
When it is night time, they both try to find a way to vanquish Freddy forevehhhh. Lisa thinks it can be as simple as not believing in his existence. Can't hurt ya if you don't he's real right? Well let's test that theory out shall we? If they truly believed that classroom was empty then maybe they can apply this to Freddy.
After setting their multiple alarm clocks, they get to sleeping.
They are both in the nightmare now and they are joined at the hip while they traverse the boiler room when out of nowhere Freddy gets a hold of Merit! Lisa is like step off! But Freddy extends one of his arms to now reach Lisa.
They both chant at the same time about strong sister bond and just like that he disappears. Both breathe a sigh of relieve and wake up.
That was quick.
Merit wakes up but her relief is short lived as she looks over in her corner to her bed empty. She goes to the front where Lisa is sitting on the couch but she looks rather solemn despite the shout for glee that Freddy is gone. So, what's wrong?
Lisa said it didn't work and they will never make him go away and in an instant Freddy's claws appears from the couch and attempts to drag her down! All Merit can do is stare in horror as she is a goner.
Merit wakes up and sees Lisa is dead. Their mother comes running in the room yelling at Merit asking WTF she did to her sister. Merit swears it was Freddy. Awww what a terrible ending.
