At night, Mr. Murray drives with a tape and drops it off at the mansion of Evelyn. Evelyn watches the tape, which includes what appears to be Julie recounting her near death experience and a part where Dr. Joseph Lewis tells her the game continues. Later, Katie McGovern is drugged and shown to Evelyn before being brought back to her room. Evelyn has a meeting with Dr. Lewis and pulls out an ice pick from her purse. She pulls out a locker key and tosses it towards Dr. Lewis. As she is about to stab Dr. Lewis, Murray comes into the room. Dr. Lewis and Evelyn hear a commotion from upstairs and Dr. Lewis sends Murray after Katie. While Dr. Lewis and Murray are searching for Katie outside, she comes out from the mirror entry and Evelyn sees her. Katie tells her that she isn't Julie, but Evelyn tries to kill her with the ice pick and they fight. Katie then kills Evelyn.
