that will come from his exploits including the murder of Sidney. He is the accomplice to Mrs. Loomis (Laurie Metcalf), seeking revenge against Sidney for the death of her son Billy. However, Mrs. Loomis betrays and kills Mickey, intending to disappear without trace after killing Sidney, but before she can enact her plan, Cotton intervenes and shoots her, saving Sidney, who then shoots Mrs. Loomis in the head, killing her. The third appearance of Sidney occurs in Scream 3 (2000), set two years after the events of Scream 2. Another murder spree begins in Hollywood, with the killer leaving photos of a young Maureen Prescott at the crime scenes. Sidney, now a reclusive crisis counselor for women, has been in hiding following the events of Scream and Scream 2 but is drawn to the set of Stab 3, the film within a film based on Sidney and her experiences, after the new Ghostface discovers her location. Ghostface claims responsibility for the murder of Maureen Prescott and is unmasked as the thirty-year-old director of Stab 3, Roman Bridger, Sidney's previously unknown half-brother. Roman reveals that their mother was gang raped and impregnated with him during a two-year period where she moved to Hollywood to become an actress, before she met Sidney's father, Neil Prescott (Lawrence Hecht). After being given up for adoption, an adult Roman sought her out over four years ago, only for her to reject him. Roman began stalking Maureen, filming her adulterous liaisons with other men, including the father of Billy Loomis, and used this footage to convince Billy to murder Maureen, unknowingly setting in motion the events of Scream and Scream 2. Sidney denounces Roman for his actions and manages to outwit and defeat him after a vicious fight, while Dewey Riley (David Arquette) ultimately shoots and kills Roman, and finally moves on with her life. Sidney's fourth appearance is in Scream 4 (2011), set eleven years after the events of Scream 3. After returning to the town of Woodsboro to publicize her new book, Out of Darkness—a self-help book about overcoming the events of her life—a new Ghostface begins attacking the town and leaves evidence in Sidney's car. Becoming a suspect in the murders, the 32-year-old survivor stays in town with her young teenage cousin Jill Roberts (Emma Roberts) and maternal aunt Kate (Mary McDonnell), but the family becomes embroiled in the Ghostface murder spree.
