Plot
This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. (February 2023) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) Six years after her father David's death, Emma Grossman (Mckenna Grace) is a sophomore in high school, living with her aunt Angela, Angela's new husband Robert, and their infant son Cade. She is still unsuspected for the murders she committed and masks her psychopathy with the façade of a normal 15-year-old whose life consists of school, friends, and dance.
The opening sequence shows a flash forward of Emma abducting and killing a dog with a knife while newspaper headlines about Emma's past murders flash across the screen.
A time jump takes us to three weeks prior to the events of the end of this film. Emma is struggling to adjust to Angela's new husband Robert living in the house. During breakfast, Emma mentions dance team captain elections are coming up soon, and she expects to beat out her friend Steph for the spot. Robert mentions that his camping knife is missing. When Cade's spoon fell, Emma didn't change the spoon. Instead, she gave the spoon (that fell on the floor) back to Cade.
