Quick recap

Fifteen years on, two students are killed in Woodsboro the day before Sidney comes back to promote a self-help book. Dewey is sheriff and married to Gale, who has writer's block. The targets are Sidney's cousin Jill and her friends Kirby, Olivia, Charlie and Robbie. Charlie says the killer is following remake rules. At the party at Kirby's house, Charlie unmasks as Ghostface, and his partner is Jill herself. She wants the fame of being the sole survivor, so she kills Charlie and her ex Trevor and wounds herself. At the hospital, Jill goes after Sidney again, and Sidney shocks her with a defibrillator and shoots her.
