Previously on Friday the 13th: The Series

Now: Episode 11

Twas a rainy night in the middle of nowhere where a father and son are chilling at the table shooting the shit, as they say. Father has a good attitude despite his reference to his wife's passing which seems to sadden the young boy who is doing homework. He tries to cheer the little lad up by saying she is looking down on them from heaven so all is well, right? Little do they know that just outside is a woman looking all mysterious and shit is brooding nearby. She walks over where she lingers at a picture of the father while silently staring at a...you guessed it, scarecrow.

It's bed time so the father tucks his son into bed. It is immediately followed by him getting the door...I don't recall hearing a knock but yeah he is greeted by this ugly ass scarecrow. This ensues in a chase where he ultimately slaughters the poor father right in front of the little boy's eyes. He runs to his room to hid from the killer scarecrow.

The next morning creepy lady is seen smiling and holding her arms up as the sun rises like a cheesy Live, Laugh, Love meme template.

Ryan and Micki are in the car as we speak. Ryan teases her for literally taking mail in the car but yeah he is the one who wanted to send out those mailers in an attempt to reach out to former buyers from Uncle antique store before he passed. In fact, one of those mailers was about the one of the items in question: the scarecrow. As she whips is out she tells him that this came from Riverdale and the man behind the letter appears to want them to get that scarecrow ASAFP. It's pretty urgent but also "strange" as Micki says. It actually looks like a kid's handwritting.

Sorry, Jack ain't going to be in this episode today because in the pile of mail she brought along contained a postcard from him saying he's also out of town working on attaining the icarus feather, one of the cursed items.

They both make a quick stop to buy some necessities. As Ryan is walking back to the car, Micki tosses a baseball she found in his car. He snaps at her saying not to touch his shit. Looks rather sentimental. I also smell a sub plot incoming as well!

Both get to the house in question in which the home owners, Charlie and Tudy, are actually confused as hell as they did not send out this letter to them in the first place. The husband is even looking at the actual letter and says it was likely a prankster or whatever. Micki asks if they acknowledge the scarecrow's existence at all. To their surprise, the wife admits they actually did but the husband said ohhh yeah that 'ol thing. We burnt it. So that's all, folks.

Feeling a need to pry for more information, they both try to linger a bit more. Micki excuses herself to the bathroom and Ryan makes chit chat to see if he can get some more info. Except, Micki doesn't even go to the bathroom! That sneaky sneak. She tries to poke her head in the other room for any clues but just as quickly as she started, an angsty non-verbal man comes hurling at her!

The wife and husband come to her and and the husband immediately gets the dude back in the room and tells them they didn't see anything, see? Now fuck out of here.

Walking back to the car, both are in agreement that this husband and wife are suspect as hell. No way are they leaving now. Next phase of this place is to scout the rest of the town and see what they can find.

It doesn't take long until they find a beam in the middle of a field but it's supposed to have a scarecrow on it sooo, what's up with that, MAN! A different lady comes aggressively up to them asking just who the hell they are! She said it so scary that I even winced back in fear. Alas, after they introduce themselves, the lady calms down a few notches and says her name is Marge. Despite her making friendly chit chat, she still has a crazy look eyes but she happens to give them more insight to the comings and goings in town and even seemingly points them in the right direction. Sweet lady!

Except she is such an obvious villain. She beelines her way to knock on Charlie's door to express his total non happiness for these new cats in town.  Charlie is shooketh.

It is practically night time so both end up checking in the...Inn in which Marge is conveniently the owner to. Awesome. She puts back her friendly facade bringing towels and shit but this definitely does not convince these two. They've been around enough shady ass characters to know when a disturbingly nice lady be actin' a little sus.

Charlie is sleep on his couch in front of a tv but Trudy looks over to fear in almost fear as she smuggles herself out of the house and makes a mad dash somewhere. Just outside is March in a serial killer hoodie propping up a scarecrow and nailing a picture of her on the tree! Oh noes.

Trudy is seen waddling through the harsh corn fields in the middle of the night until she comes face to face with the sentient scarecrow!!! She runs away and reaches of the steps to the Inn but unfortunately, the scarecrow must've been an Olympian in a past life as it catches up to the misses and slashes her silly. 

Micki hears the commotion and thinks it's a good idea to open the door at these dark hours of the night and she sure gets a good unbirthday present.

She is greeted with the decapitated head of the Trudy along with the scarecrow standing there like a Victoria's Secret model. She lets out a YELP for RYYYYAAAAAAAN. By the time he gets there the scarecrow is obviously gone but...so is the decapitated head!

Marge also hears the commotion and asks what's the hullaballoo. Yeah she literally said that word. too.

The local sheriff eventually gets there and takes her report and takes off. Once he leaves, Ryan inquires on more of what she saw. She did leave out of the sentient scarecrow part but she swears that it was that gosh darn scarecrow. The sheriff overhears her anyway and barges in the room and says it's just gossip and to do him a solid and not spread that shit to the rest of the people. He's weirdly aggressive about this too. So, yeah.

It is now the next morning and the sheriff is having a chat with Marge asking where those 2 went because he would like to ask them some more questions on that sentient scarecrow accusation because it's weird. Yeah....weird, Marge replies back so cornily. Weird as it be, it gets kicked up another notch because he discovered that Trudy was clutching straws at the coroner's. Weird, indeed.

Micki and Ryan are at one of the local shops where they buy one item off them but I have a feeling they had no finger lickin' interest in that item, it was just a tactic to get some more information about the scarecrow. This tactic seems to work due to the generous overpayment from a hunk of junk. 

The elderly man starts talking as some people in that town would sure been in need for some extra $$$ that is, except for who has plentiful of crows sprouting to and fro. Therefore, they are in no need for mere spare change. In fact, they bought out all the farms! Funny, he recollects, that there was a time where the man couldn't grow anything for shit but look at him now. Started from the bottom and now we're at the top. He also says that this town doesn't even have a whole lot of murders...in fact, almost none. The recent one was the single father from earlier in the episode but now him and his boy have now...vanished! Oh, dear.

Off in the distance with Marge randomly walking by as is chopping wood when he notices Ryan and Micki pass him up in their car. She thinks out loud to him that they must be heading over to Dave's place but she says in a more brooding tone and she goes on a weird tangent about Micki that she's a "wild one" and strongly nudges for the guy to "break her good." Sounding a little sexual there, Marge.

Both reach the now abandoned home to that father and son. While they get out of the car and search the place Ryan observes that after Micki's first hand account last night that sir Charlie is a liar, liar, pants on fire. It is of upmost importance to find that damned scarecrow right meow so they split up to cover some more ground. 

Ryan enters the house and it looks like shit. The fridge is wide open and there's such a mess on the table. Looks like food but it's not rotten. Still fresh.

Meanwhile Micki is outside and is by the clothesline with clothes still hung when she gets spooked by a bird but sees what looks like a blood trail. She heads on over to see where the trail leads to. She reaches the barn but it looks completely obliterated but off in the distance she sees something a little out of place. Like a body shaped covering. 

Still in the house, Ryan goes from room to room but as he enters the living room, out pops that little kid, from the beginning of the episode) who jumps on his back and then tries to run off. Ryan manages to get the upper hand since he is the adult afterall but the kid relinquishes and solemnly walks with his head down.

Right when Micki approaches that human shaped bump on the ground, it turns out it is just a bucket of crops. Relief is short lived because just as she turns out, there is someone out there that wants to say a big hello.

She ducks on the first swing and runs for her life with the scarecrow in hot pursuit. Micki's shrieks alerts Ryan and upon looking out the window he sees what's going on and runs to her aid. 

Micki, oh god bless her, she trips like a horror movie cliche and right when the scarecrow is about to make the fatal death swipe....he gets shot dead. Not by Ryan, mind you but the sheriff who by sheer luck got there just in the nick of time. He goes up to the scarecrow and goes to unmask and you might have already guessed it but it is...

To sheriff's immediately surprise he spots the boy and pieces the clue together that he just simply stayed hidden from the world but now that he is confirmed alive, he wants to take him to live with his aunt. Ryan offers to be his guardian until then. Oh and also sheriff now seems to be on their side now. 

Upon nighttime, everybody is back at the inn. Marge came to check on the kid but it appears that he is mute due to his trauma. On her way out, she says should the boy start speaking then please keep her in the know because she will know just what to do. Murder, Marge. You want to murder the boy, can't make that even more obvious, lady.

In an effort to cheer the boy up, Ryan tells the kid some funny stories about Micki in an effort to calm down the kid in which he lets out a smile which is his clue to let the little lad sleep so he takes his leave.

Marge being the sneaky sneaky she is rummages through Micki's belongings and pulls out her wallet.

Ryan and Micki go to another room in which he shares that the kid reminds him a lot of his younger brother, Jimmy. Micki immediately remembers that name as that was on the baseball that he got all touchy about earlier. He reveals that when they were kids and were out playing catch, Jimmy got hit by a car and this really shook Ryan's 9 year old little heart so that little one's innocence reminds him so much of his brother. 

So sad. ANYWAY.

Micki noticed a pattern that upon every harvest 3 people go missing and guess what? Harvest is fast approaching. 2 have already gone missing so they need to figure out who the last one might be.

Creak. The little kid is at the door stop and unmutes himself saying that he can help them!

Back at Charlie's house, he looks rather preturbed. He is seen rummaging for the phone but at the last second he decides against calling whoever he was going to call and sits his butt down in the lazy boi couch and takes a shot of alcohol.

So the kid takes a seat and tells Ryan and Micki everything he saw but despite not being able to see much but confirms it was a scarecrow. They got a plan and head on out but Micki immediately notices his ID is gone so they are shitting bricks at this point now that it is now confirmed that Micki will be the last intended sacrifice for this new harvest so they need to find a bigger and better plan! What sucks is that Marge heard the whole thing as she was hiding in a closet or something not too far away.

The three get to the sheriff's. Micki asks to stay with him while Ryan and the kid get to their plan. He earnestly agrees. Whoopayyy.

Charlie on the other hand doesn't seem to be having a good time as he be lookin' a little paranoid. He sees Marge outside setting the scarecrow up so he stomps over to her to confront her on being behind the murders of his wife and son. Speaking of his son, Charlie says that his son would have never done what he did on his own free will so WTF!?

Marge gives more crazy eyes and grabs a sharp metal object and kills him. 

Ryan and the little kid reach the barn thingy where they are met with dozens of scarecrows all of them hung up like...omg crazy shit. He looks down on the floor and sees a pool of blood but upon aiming his flashlight upwards they see poor Mr. Charlie.

Over at the police station Micki is just being a chatty Cathy but Sheriff ain't used to having one of those around these parts. To get her to shut her yapper, he asks if he would like a jacket being cold and all. When he opens up the closet Micki gets reminded of when the kid said that the scarecrow that killed his dad wore a long black rain coat well guess what she sees on the hanger?

She snaps and without hesitation she fucking PUSHES the sheriff in the closet, locks it and runs off. 

In the barn, Ryan comes across the some paperwork and sees that Charlie sold the farm 3 years ago to none other than Ms. Evil Lady Marge. Both run like the dickens to go tell the sheriff.

Micki reaches the Inn where she of course bumps into Marge. She gets super overbearing to Micki as she escorts her back to her room saying that everything will be okay. Why the hell does Micki not suspect this old hag? Well too little too late because as Marge leaves her room she locks it from the outside. Now Micki knows her bad intentions now. Upon reaching for anything to help her escape she quickly realizes that she is not the only one in the room.

Upon the boys reaching the inn, Marge hears Ryan yelling for her so she grabs a freakishly large pair of scissors and stabs the first person she sees walk in. And it just so happens to be the poor Sheriff. Poor guy just can't catch a break, huh?

After Sheriff flops to the ground, she grabs the little boy to threaten Ryan to not go further. Ryan don't curr so he fly kicks Marge out of the way, freeing the boy.

Micki, on the other hand, was able to escape when she dodged one of his swings which made a hole in the door just big enough for her to ram through. Weirdly enough, as she makes it to the bottom of the stairs, the scarecrow materializes right in front of her! Ryan is able to thwart the fatal swipes which gives Micki enough time to rip off her ID that was stuck to the scarecrow.

With that swift motion the scarecrow flops to the ground. They both breathe a sigh of relief but the scissor weilding Marge comes charging at her...man, she really spooks the shit out of me! 

During all the commotion and shit being flung around, the picture on the wall falls on the scarecrow and it magically sticks to him when he stands up because he goes right to Marge and WACK! Her head goes flying and the rest of her body falls to the floor and now the scarecrow's work is all done and falls to the ground as well.

The next day, kid is sitting on the steps of the police station because the Sheriff died. Nah, just kidding. He no die. He walks out of the station with Ryan and Micki. Both go up further by the car while Ryan goes up to the kid gives him some encouraging words to soldier on. He does a sweet gesture and takes his cherished baseball and gifts it to him. He takes a look at the baseball and asks who Jimmy is. He warmly smiles and proceeds to tell him all about his brother.

Ryan and Micki are on the road yet back home. As he is behind the wheel, Micki wonders out loud that if all the scarecrow did was decapitate people, just what the fuck did he do with the heads. Do we even want to know?

Well, it is never revealed in this episode so I guess we will never know.

Episode 12 is next.
