A new camper finds himself in the middle of the mystery of Camp Stillwater in "Barney Rubble Eyes," an all-new episode of "Dead of Summer," airing TUESDAY, JULY 5 (9:00 - 10:00 p.m. EDT), on Freeform.
The campers arrive to Camp Stillwater and quickly Alex and Blotter realize one of their new charges, Anton, is going to be a handful.

Meanwhile, flashbacks show how Alex got his "if you want something in life, you have to take it" attitude.
