The Executioner

  • Brenda gets a surprising number of awesome moments in the season:
    • When the Executioner tries to attack her granddaughter in her own house, she actually proves smarter than the average slasher character, and immediately suggest that Sarah and her leave this damn town. It doesn't end up helping, but still, points for effort.
    • Later, when the Executioner catches up with her and Sarah, she turns out to have a gun just in case and tries to defend herself.
    • Then, when she does get caught by the Executioner and they are about to kill her, she actually talks back to them and calls them out for their hypocrisy of punishing people's sins by sinning themself, stating they will have to pay eventually as well.
    • And best of all, the way Sarah defeats the Executioner in the final episode? She hits him on the head. With the urn containing Brenda's ashes. Even when dead, Brenda still finds a way to be awesome.
Guilty Party
  • The killer of this season is the first antagonist of the series to get away with their crimes. To wit, Judith successfully takes down every one of the Camp Motega counselors and her fellow commune members by herself with nothing but pure maternal instinct for her son's death. Even the two Final Girls only barely escaped her by sheer luck. And even then, it’s all but stated that one of them is going to get killed by Judith in the near future anyways.
Solstice
  • Angel giving Violet a well-deserved "The Reason You Suck" Speech over how she exploits other people's tragedies for personal gain.
  • Dan and Angel teaming up despite their differences, escaping from the cave, catching the Druid off-guard as he is disposing of the remains and successfully killing him. Granted, Angel ends up dying, but still, it's rare to see characters who aren't the Final Girl actually managing to slay a Slasher Movie killer.
Flesh & Blood
  • Liv Vogel. This Final Girl trained in the military and is able to fight off the Gentleman when they target her, eventually becoming the winner of the family inheritance.
  • The killer is defeated before the season finale, a first for a slasher series.
Ripper
  • The Widow is the second antagonist of the series to get away with their crimes. Like Judith, she successfully murders every one of Toronto's social elites who murdered her mother, even gathering followers (including the Final Girl, who covertly murdered her Big Sister Bully and framed the other for it because of their involvement) to help her kill Basil Garvey, who is directly responsible, finally avenging her in a long, convoluted scheme.
