The synopsis of "The Remains" is: "Three former childhood friends with a complicated history get back together to spread the ashes of their friend who recently died."

Trivia[]
- Oppenheimer was hired for Fear by showrunner Dave Erickson. Erickson had seen one of her scripts ("The Remains") and invited her in for interview. Oppenheimer describes this (a relatively unknown writer being invited to write for what turned out to be the most anticipated new series of 2015) as "fairly routine"[2].
