So, it's the market price of the stock at close on Friday that matters?

If it's $300 all day, then plummets $50 at 3:59 and closes at $50, then that option i used in my scenario just cost me $6650?

Can someone walk me through this on buying a call option?

The option prices don't change when the market is closed.

Right, which means you can't buy options after hours, correct?

Correct. At open I expect the premium on that $85 strike will be >$120

Options expire at the end of the day on the expiration day

Yes. And most places will automatically exercise options that expire in the money.
