Season Eight

This page describes the events of the eighth and final season of Moriah Blake. Season Eight shows a severe change in the tone of the show, due to the effects of the Moriah Blake Massacre.

Events
Season Eight begins with the first day of school after Christmas Vacation. We begin in Scott's mansion and observe how much the shooting changed him. We observe the changes in the high school, including the return of Principal Johns, a plethora of police officers performing random bag checks, and an incredible laxity of classes.

A few days after the start of school, Marilyn leaves Moriah Blake for good, leaving Rickey to wallow in the knowledge that he never cared about her when he had the chance.

Ashley
The day of the Massacre, Ashley Donovan decided that she had to return to Washington to help those who were unable to recover from the tragedy. She appeared at the high school on the thirtieth of January. She had changed completely since her appearance in Vow of Silence. She had broken off her relationship with Justin Flint, and converted wholly to Buddhism, which had on the whole made her a happier and more accepting person.

Breathing exercise
A week after her return, Ashley confronted Principal Johns about allowing her to perform a Buddhist breathing exercise in the cafeteria for anyone who wanted to go. He gave his consent, on the condition that the exercise would be made completely optional.

20th Century Music Tribute
On the fourth of February—the same day as Ashley's breathing exercise—Scott held another party at his house, although this one was more somber than past gatherings: it was presented as a tribute to the fallen, especially Hudson and Sylvia, who were lovers of classic rock. The party consisted of the survivors sitting around the back yard of Scott's mansion, while Dave and Steven played music. At the 20th Century Music Tribute, Scott and Ashley had their first real conversation since she returned, Tricia broke up with Dave, Audrey began a long career as an alcoholic, and Scott found out that his father had been caught robbing a store.
