“	We're always watching someone. Following someone. And being followed. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram they've made us a society of stalkers. And we love it. Of course, stalking someone in real life is a whole 'nother thing. That's right. I had a stalker. And if you've made it to A-4, you're outside his window. Just like I am right now. Any guesses yet? No? Well, stay tuned to hear about the skeletons he dug up. For now let's see if he's got any of his own. I get that it's a thrill looking into someone's life. My heart's pounding right now. Can you hear it? Listen.	”

Plot

Flashbacks

Tyler would stand outside Hannah's house and take pictures of her. She hears clicks but doesn't know who it is, intrigued, Courtney offers to help her. They plan to learn the stalkers identity by catching them out with a bright light. They have a sleepover. They forget about the stalker and decide to play truth or dare. One thing leads to another and soon they're making out. Of course, the stalker shows up at the right moment and takes a picture of them. They discover who it is: Tyler Down. Courtney becomes upset, afraid that the entire school will find out about her being a lesbian.

The next day at school, Hannah and Tyler talk, and he agrees to get rid of the pictures. He asks Hannah out on a date. She refuses because he just admitted to being her stalker. Angry she refused, Tyler decides to send it to the entire school instead. An emotional Courtney confronts Hannah and tells her that they shouldn't speak anymore. No one ever learned who the girls in the photo were. But everyone now has a copy of the pictures on their computer — even Clay, who masturbates to it.

Present Day

Clay confronts Tyler about stalking Hannah and taking photographs of her. He reveals that he was in love with her because she didn't try to hide who she was. Clay wants him to destroy all the pictures but hesitates after Tyler shows him a picture of him and Hannah together. However he still asks him to destroy them.

Marcus invites Clay to a Halloween party asking him to bring the tapes. They try to convince Clay to move on and forget about Hannah and the tapes. Tony warns him not to trust anything Marcus and his friends say. As Clay bikes home, he sees that Hannah's house has been toilet papered. He stops and tries to clean it up but Olivia catches him and mistakes him for the culprit. He says that he was trying to clean up, she doesn't believe him but he convinces her by saying that he knew Hannah, so she invites him inside. He spends some time inside but leaves after Olivia tries to pressure him into helping them find out why Hannah killed herself.

Olivia and Andrew are both trying to deal with Hannah's unexpected death. Their store is losing customers to a new Walmart opening up nearby. He doesn't know why people aren't coming and Olivia says it's because of Hannah, people don't know how to act around them or what to say. Andrew is upset about this and muses that Hannah's death could've been prevented.

Clay decides to get back at Tyler for putting Hannah through yet another picture scandal. He goes and takes a photo of a naked Tyler and shares it with the other students. Tony texts Clay a confused, "What the hell?" Clay replies that he's dishing out his own justice.
