for Sam Carpenter in Scream 7 and 8 (Sam & Tara version)
Suggested by lucaslopez114
In hopes of Ghostface no longer following them, the core four move to Miami, the place where Tara was born during a trip Sam & Christina's had. Sam is still facing her inner demons as Ghostface strikes once again. They eventually seek the help of Gale and Kirby to stop the Ghostface killer. One of the killers is Hannah, a character who has a different personality from the actual Scream 7 we're getting but played by the same actress. The main killer turns out to be Christina, but Sam refuses to kill her. Christina tries to lure Sam into unleasing her true colors: she is a Ghostface killer deep down. Scream 7 ends with Tara killing Christina, then kicking out Sam from the Core Four (now becoming the Core Three) which unlocks Sam's motivation to become a Ghostface killer and target Tara. She returns to Woodsbro by herself without anyone knowing. In Scream 8, which takes place 1 year later, two Ghostface killers are hunting down Tara but Sam returns, attempting to "apologize" to Tara and earn her approval back by protecting her. The Ghostface killers turn out to be characters who no one knows, but later on, is revealed to be killers-in-hire by Sam to go after Tara with one of them being Sam's new boyfriend. Sam doesn't die, but gets arrested and accepts her fate. Tara becomes the new final girl in the end.
