After the credits roll, the film finds film director Kris (Hannah Einbinder), a non-binary, polyamorous Sundance wunderkind, being tasked with rebooting the Camp Miasma franchise. Kris has political reasons for doing this, since they know they are being exploited by the studio to give the project a veneer of PC credibility. But Kris is also a classic Schoenbrun heroine, an outsider whose lifeline is pop culture, and despite her apparent militance, she is not entirely at home in her sexual identity, as evidenced by her clearly unhappy relationship with a woman she shares with a bisexual man named Thor.
At that point, Billy seemingly summons Little Death from his resting place at the bottom of the lake, and all bets are now off. Kris begins to freestyle about the direction her reboot is going to take, taking part in a disastrous Zoom meeting that horrifies the creative team that has been assembled to help her.
