* The ''Series/CobraKai''/''Film/{{Scream}}'' crossover fic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/50800807 Ambitio Mortis]]'' opens with Piper sitting in her house watching TV when she gets a call from an unknown number, claiming he was given Piper's number from her ex-girlfriend Moon. The two converse about movies which segues into the caller challenging Piper to answer a question about the first ''[[ShowWithinAShow Stab]]'' film, wagering the two go on a date if she guesses wrong. Piper tells him he's [[IncompatibleOrientation barking up the wrong tree]] and things take a dark turn with this exchange:
-->'''Caller:''' I've got an idea. If you win the game... ''I'll let you finish your ice cream.''\\
'''Piper:''' How did... How did you know what I had to eat?\\
'''Caller:''' What's wrong? Are we gonna play or not? I'd hate to keep you from your show.

Patrick immediately asks the killer to tell him what he's wearing, and when the killer dodges the question Patrick immediately calls his bluff and taunts him for just making guesses, which immediately drives him into a fury. Played with, however, in that while being caught out in this way shows the killer is a narcissist on an ego trip rather than an infallible mastermind, he is still ''extremely'' dangerous.
