Ep 4. Urgent Scare

In season 1 episode 4 of Prank Encounters, titled "Urgent Scare", host Gaten Matarazzo orchestrates two frightening pranks on unsuspecting victims.

The episode begins with the first prank, entitled "You've Been Exposed". Gaten enlists the help of pranksters Amber and David to pull off this scare. The victim, a young woman named Alex, arrives at a medical testing facility for what she thinks is a routine examination. However, things quickly take a turn for the worse when she is informed that she has been exposed to a deadly virus. Alex is led through a series of tests and simulations, all designed to increase her fear and paranoia. Amber and David, posing as a doctor and nurse, monitor her every move and amp up her anxiety until she is finally confronted with the "infected" patient who supposedly exposed her to the virus. The prank culminates in a terrifying confrontation that leaves Alex shaking and emotional.

The second prank, titled "The Wrong Patient", is equally alarming. Gaten enlists the help of pranksters Emily and Nick to perpetrate this scare. The victim, a man named Chris, arrives at a local hospital for what he believes to be a routine check-up. However, things take a turn for the worse when he is mistakenly identified as a patient who requires urgent surgery. Emily and Nick pose as hospital staff and lead Chris through a series of tests and procedures, all while keeping up a facade of urgency and professionalism. Their goal is to convince Chris that he needs serious surgery on his spine, when in reality, nothing is wrong with him. The prank escalates to a nerve-wracking finale that leaves Chris shaken and relieved when he realizes that he is not, in fact, a candidate for surgery.
