Scream VI: 22 WTF Moments
19. Kirby Is Now An FBI Agent
As Sam and Tara are interviewed by the lead detective investigating the case, Wayne Bailey (Dermot Mulroney), we're notified that the FBI is on the scene, and this is the point at which Scream 4's surprise survivor, Kirby Reed (Hayden Panettiere), is brought into the fold.
That's right - Kirby is revealed to be an FBI agent tasked with investigating basically anything related to Ghostface.
It's a pretty ridiculous, comical revelation that the film at least has the good sense to make some light fun of, with Gale (Courteney Cox) calling Kirby a "zygote," before she retorts that she's actually 30 years old.
Beyond Kirby later revealing that she died for four minutes after being stabbed by Charlie (Rory Culkin) in Scream 4, Sam confirms that the pair actually know each other, having attended Woodsboro High together in different grades.
