Video Description, 13 seconds. Deborah Ayorinde (“Detective Dawn Reeve”) is sitting under a kitchen sink cabinet until the door of the cabinet swings open, and she falls onto the floor, getting pulled by her legs. Then The Scare appears above her. The camera zooms in on her face as she is screaming in fear before cutting back to The Scare. The camera zooms out and shows Dawn being dragged across the floor, occasionally swinging her arms. Then the screen changes to black as “Them” in red font appears on the screen before zooming out as “The Scare” glitches on the screen in white font. Then, “Watch Now” glitches on the screen in white. A sliding transition shows the Prime Video logo in blue with the text underneath reading, “Included with prime. Restrictions apply. See https://t.co/U0f6Ku4trc for details.”

Video description, 12 seconds. Static streaks across the screen, revealing a stack of old television sets and radios in a dimly lit bedroom. After a flicker of static, they turn on. Each screen is playing a different scene, including Luke James (“Edmund Gaines”) sitting down and Pam Grier (“Athena”) standing in an aisle at a store under a red light. Another flicker of static and the televisions are now playing a close-up of Athena’s hands on one screen, Edmund putting on face paint on a second screen, and Athena looking down on a third. Cut to a close-up on a large TV where ominous red arches appear in the darkness and begin to grow brighter. Suddenly all of the televisions are playing the same thing—large bold red text that swipes into view on a black background that reads “Them”, then shifts into a smaller font as the text “The Scare” appears beneath it over a static glitch effect. Glitch cut to white text reading “Watch Now”.

Cut to Athena standing with her eyes closed, smiling slightly as Dawn walks up to her and leans against her, then kisses her on the cheek and walks away. The second scene is a close up of Athena looking down, glancing to the side slowly. She looks up suddenly. Cut to an overhead view of her hands, holding a long-bladed table cutting tool with her other arm dangerously placed under the blade. She looks down at her hand and pulls her arm out of the way, gripping her palm and holding it up to her chest. The third scene is a close up of Athena from within her medicine cabinet. She bites her lip while holding a pill bottle, then closes the cabinet door. Cut to a side view of Athena as she turns her head suddenly, looking down with concern. The fourth scene is a close up on Athena's hands as she interlocks her fingers haphazardly in front of her face. A close up on her face reveals tearstained cheeks as she shakes her head slowly in response to Leland L. Jones ("Pastor") speaking to her. The final scene is bathed in red light, with Athena standing in an aisle at a store as the lights flicker overhead. Close up on Athena as she turns around and begins to scream. The view shakes as it zooms in, as if the POV is running towards her.

Video description, 14 seconds. Static flickers onto the screen as a slide show of images of Deborah Ayorinde ("Detective Dawn Reeve") parting long thick strands of red yarn to step through them appear. The images change quickly, going back and forth from full view to close up, from red lighting to normal, her expression changing from inquisitive to frightened. Static fills the screen and clears to reveal a rear view of Dawn sitting in a claw foot bathtub. The slide show continues with close ups of Dawn looking over her shoulder, then changing to red lighting with static effects as a slow creepy smile begins to form on her face. Cut to a closeup of Dawn with a disturbingly wide grin. Cut to large bold red text that swipes into view on a black background that reads "Them", then shifts into a smaller font as the text "The Scare" appears beneath it over a static glitch effect. Glitch cut to white text reading "Watch Now". Cut to a blue background with the Prime Video logo and the text "Included with prime. Restrictions apply. See https://t.co/U0f6Ku4trc for details."

Close up on Kel looking up, then his drum, a horn, and the steppers dancing. Cut to the gym suddenly plunged into darkness, with only a dim light on Kel and all of the other performers and fans gone. Kel continues playing his drum. Cut to a shadowy figure standing alone atop the bleachers, with long, shaggy red hair as its only discernible feature. The view closes in on the figure. Cut to a close-up of Kel's face, then the drum as he continues to play. The third scene is bathed in red light, with a close-up of Kel looking terrified as he pulls yarn out of his mouth in a long, continuous strand.

The center of view slowly shifts to focus on the window behind him.
