It’s a fun moment, but I’m not so sure these clues are pointing to a reveal as simple as Lennon still being alive it just feels like such a potential red herring. The final scene provides the biggest evidence yet for Lennon being our killer: a text to Alison with photos of the cuts she made on her thigh and a video of her and Dylan having sex at the party last summer. And so the main suspect, once again, becomes Lennon (or, to everyone else, Alison). We do see Dale eventually, a plastic tube of Blue Crush slushy shoved down his throat. Like a number of scenes this episode, the banter here shoots for dark comedy, but most of it feels a bit forced, never truly campy and fun the way it should be. We’re also denied the actual scene of the murder, and the episode even skips past the gang finding his dead body, instead just showing them running back into the parking lot and commenting on it. Of course, before long, Dale is dead, and so we’re denied any further explanation of the obsession he apparently had with Lennon. Alison insists that it can’t be Alison (meaning, privately, that it can’t be Lennon), that Dale must be the stalker. We just see Alison throw something at him then it jumps to her at the cave.) There, Dylan reveals Riley’s secret that she thought she saw Alison take a breath before they left her last summer. (The episode weirdly denies us any fight with Dale, probably because listening to him would help clarify what’s happening here.

She manages to escape before he can hurt her and meets everyone at the cave. Eventually, Alison tracks the likely killer to the Snak ’N Stuff, where she finds Dale. This subplot doesn’t really mesh tonally with everything else, but it’s not bad, and it ends with a nice father-daughter conversation in which Bruce assures Alison they’re in this together, that he would never blow her cover to Lyla.īut back to the stalker stuff. Oh, also, during all this, she accidentally finds a sex tape her dad and Lyla made and has to grapple with her dad dating someone. So she sets out to finally identify the person who’s been texting her and following her in their black pickup truck. But Alison knows that none of their rationales for Alison being the killer make sense because she’s Alison, and the one who they hit last summer was Lennon. With the video of Johnny’s decapitation being sent from Alison’s phone, everyone assumes she survived and has been stalking them. Let’s talk about the Alison stuff first, because as it is becoming a pattern, it’s the most interesting.

But “A Gorilla Head Will Not Do” strikes me as the first episode of the show that feels especially messy and unstable a few hours after my first watch, I couldn’t remember what exactly happened before the last ten minutes. The first two episodes of I Know What You Did Last Summer, for all their flaws, had a fairly strong central focus to them.
