* [[https://youtu.be/EJHC8cT4BoQ Clearing My Head]]. ''Yikes.'' For starters, Patrick's sudden appearance is prefaced by a barrage of audio and visual static, flashes of Slender Man...and two frames of a [[RedFilterOfDoom red-tinged]], sweat-drenched, [[BlackEyesOfCrazy black-eyed]], tearful Michael (or is it Patrick?), mouthing the word ''"Help"''.

** It gets worse when Stormy tries to locks herself in her bedroom to get away. [[spoiler: Patrick forces the door open; [[NothingIsScarier we don't see or hear what happens next, but when Stormy appears on camera, she's curled up in a ball, hugging her knees and audibly sobbing.]]]]

* [[https://youtu.be/O06mg-EZYzc ----------------------------------------]]. An unseen figure approaches [[spoiler: HABIT's safe house]] from the outside. After gazing through the curtains for a moment, it deposits a note with a number "0" on a chair. [[NothingIsScarier End of series]].

* [[https://youtu.be/Ixf0rtKq164 Video Journal #?? - Retrogression]]. Michael films a new video journal entry...reciting the exact same dialogue from the first video. This goes in for several minutes before he realizes that something is ''terribly wrong'' and stops. Visibly confused and frightened, he wonders where he is and calls out for Shaun. Getting no response, he turns and stares fearfully at the doorway; he slowly backs up against the wall and fearfully drops into a chair, whispering, "Where am I?"[[NothingIsScarier The video ends there.]]

** Patrick's demeanor is rather unsettling, radiating TranquilFury. It doesn't help that he's constantly [[PsychicNosebleed bleeding from the nose and coughing up blood (both of which he brushes off as "none of [Shaun's] concern").

* [[https://youtu.be/kOohZQFqXoo BROTHERLY LOVE]]. Having had zero luck finding the clock hands in any of their old haunts on the East Coast, Shaun tells Michael to go off his meds so he can remember their location. Michael refuses, leading the brothers to have an altercation that turns physical -- and ends with Shaun storming off, claiming he'll get help from another source. The nightmare fuel comes less the video itself (though it ''is'' unsettling to see Shaun whaling in his sobbing, emotionally broken brother) and more from the title itself: [[spoiler: for those well-acquainted with the Mythos, a [[DeadpanSnarker sarcastic]] title in [[NoIndoorVoice ALL CAPS]] can only mean [[WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID one thing]] -- and [[AnthropomorphicPersonification it]] [[SerialKiller isn't]] [[CompleteMonster good]].]]

This goes in for several minutes before he realizes that something is ''terribly wrong'' and stops. Visibly confused and frightened, he wonders where he is, and begins calling out for Shaun. Getting no answer, he huddles against the wall, hugging his knees, and whispers, "Where am I?" [[NothingIsScarier The video ends there.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4N5max6cPw Eric/Documents]]. Eric searches for Michael in a seemingly empty house, while visual and audio distortion set in. [[spoiler: After getting no response from Michael, he finally addresses him as his [[SplitPersonality alternate persona]], Patrick.]] And then we're treated to the biggest JumpScare in the series thus far.
-->'''Patrick:''' ([[AxeCrazy brandishing ax]]) That's more like it.
** Surprisingly, [[spoiler: Patrick]] doesn't kill Eric. Instead, [[spoiler: he uses the blunt end of the axe to beat him unconscious, before dragging him outside and dousing him in gasoline as a warning of [[KillItWithFire what will happen]] if he doesn't stay away.]] [[EveryoneHasStandards Even HABIT thought it was demented.]]

* "GOODBYE". Shaun wakes up, bound and gagged, on the floor of [[spoiler: the attic where HABIT tortured Jeff]]. It only gets worse from there.
** The feral, skittering, animalistic mannerisms from [[spoiler:HABIT]] as he capers around Shaun, taunting him with the revelation of Michael/Patrick's real identity: [[spoiler: he's an ancient, [[HumanoidAbomination inhuman entity]] that routinely adopts a human persona and insinuates himself into the lives of humans, for no other reason than to surround himself with a [[HumanShield "wall of meat"]] and momentarily shield himself from the Slender Man. He was responsible for the death of Stormy, the woman Shaun loved.]]

Then, without warning, Slender Man appears in the headlights of Shaun's car--and before Shaun can react, [[MindScrew is instantaneously replaced by a hitchhiking Patrick.]]
** While he's far from the most threatening Slenderverse villain we've encountered, Patrick's demeanor is rather unsettling, radiating TranquilFury. It doesn't help that he's constantly bleeding from his nose and coughing up blood (which he brushes it off as "none of [Shaun's] concern").

-->'''[[spoiler: HABIT]]''': This is what I wanted, most of all. I wanted to see you ''break''. I wanted you to know that here, in this cold, hard attic, with walls of nails and air of ice, that you are ''alone and abandoned''. That your life, full of torment, trouble and pain, full of loss and heartache...was all due to the one person that you loved. The one person that you thought you could count on. And that it was all...for ''nothin'''.

* "GOODBYE". Shaun wakes up on the floor of [[spoiler: the attic where HABIT tortured Jeff]]. It only gets worse from there.
** The feral, skittering, Rake-like movements as [[spoiler:HABIT]] moves around Shaun, taunting him with information about what Michael/Patrick ''really'' is: [[spoiler: an ancient, [[HumanoidAbomination inhuman entity]] similar to HABIT, that routinely adopts human identities--the most recent being the person Shaun knew as his brother, Michsrl. He regularly insinuates himself into the lives of humans; not because he's lonely or needs companionship, but to surround himself with a [[HumanShield "wall of meat"]] to momentarily shield him from the Slender Man.]]

*** The Princeton Tapes make it even worse: [[spoiler:Patrick's existence is a cycle, similar to that being experienced by the [=EMH=] trio. Unlike them, however, he is the one initiating it--and he always remembers what he is, that his human life is a "front", and that everyone around him is doomed to die, from the start.]]

** And what is Patrick? [[spoiler: We never find out. All we learn is that he's an ancient, [[HumanoidAbomination inhuman entity]] similar to HABIT that has adopted a fake human identity: the person Shaun knew as his brother, Michael. HABIT has known him for a long time. He regularly insinuates himself into the lives of humans, for one reason and one reason only: to surround himself with a [[HumanShield "wall of meat"]] that will momentarily shield him from the Slender Man.]]

* While not much happens in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ow7ZaOX26Jc Video Journal #6]] action-wise, the episode ratchets up the tension. Eric comes to visit Michael in the middle of the night; he hasn't seen Shaun since the last video went up two days ago, and the last time he heard from him (the day before), he was in a hysterical state. Eric and Michael argue back and forth, with Eric accusing [[UnreliableNarrator Michael]] of being responsible for his brother's disappearance -- going so far as to accuse him of ''kidnapping'' Shaun. Then, as Michael approaches the camera to pick it up, and [[OminousVisualGlitch the picture briefly tears and discolors, while audio distortion kicks in...]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeSi6CEfMrk Shaun]]. Michael discovered a video Shaun recorded for him on his camera. Said video reveals several very important things. [[spoiler: Michael was lying about not knowing Shaun's whereabouts: Shaun deliberately left town to get away from him, because he's started seeing the Slender Man and having the same dreams as Michael (only he's unable to touch the clock) -- and he believes Michael is spreading his "sickness" through his videos. Like a virus.]] Not only that, but [[spoiler: ''something'' apparently happened to the two of them two nights earlier that convinced Shaun of this]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r3_h852o_M Video Journal #5 - Virus]]. Michael's description of his [[BadDreams nightmare]]: he's in a park he used to visit with his family as a child, when suddenly the neighborhood kids vanish -- but he can still hear them playing. And then something grabs him by his shirt and start dragging him across the playground. He starts clawing at the ground, to the point that [[{{Fingore}} his fingernails are ripping off]]. Suddenly, he's back in the alleyway, [[NothingIsScarier alone]], with the grandfather clock in front of him, looking huge and misshapen. When Michael wakes up, he's writing a word on his hand: VIRUS.

This being a [[TheSlenderManMythos Slenderverse]] series, expect there to be some NightmareFuel.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BQdAKToeGc The Truth]]. While nothing frightening happens in the video itself, the fact that both Eric and Shaun have watched Michael's videos and seem ''completely unable to see the Slender Man''s(dismissing it as a drug and mental illness-induced hallucination) is a bit unsettling. [[ParanoiaFuel It leaves one wondering whether we, the audience, are being drawn into Michael's "delusion" -- and whether what we're seeing is really happening.]]
