Alinah, Mackenzie, Mayte, and Andrea performed - teen girls watching netflix and making snarky comment until - on day 10 of their vacation - they have one day left to do all their homework assignments which are due the next day.

Ilan, Jay, Vidal, Ublester, David - Kids decide to have an Easter Egg hunt at a cemetery at night where they are stalked and killed by a crazy guy.  Reworked the scene for blocking/staging issues.

Jose, Adolfo, Joseph, Bryan - Jose plays a gamer who gets trapped in his dreams in a violent video game.  Reworked the scene to make it more active and less static: Guys were sitting in chairs playing a video game while Jose laid on a table pretending to "sleep".
