Suzy Bannion meets Sara and Olga walks up to them and tells them she heard the names that start with the letter S is the names of snakes. Later, Suzy is brought to a room next to Sara's where Miss Tanner and Teacher are forcing her to drink water on the order of Professor Verdegast. Sara comes in to talk with Suzy. Pavlos brings Suzy her dinner and she notices him pick up and stare at Sara's fancy lighter. After the students are moved to the dance hall, Mark blows a kiss to Suzy and Caroline tells her she heard he was gay and Sara defends Suzy. During the night a loud sigh echos through the room and a shadowed body comes and sleeps in an empty bed just outside the curtains placed around the sleeping area. Sara wakes up Suzy and tells her the teachers lied and the person in the bed is the Directress, Helena Markos. She tells Suzy she used to live in another room and someone late in the night would go the room next to hers and snore loudly and the noise is exactly the same. The next day, Sara notices the teacher's footprints leaving, but Suzy notices they are heading in the wrong direction from the exit. Sara starts writing down the footstep count and pauses. Sara admits to Suzy that it was her that told Suzy to leave the night Pat left. She tells her Pat was keeping notes on all of the strange things happening at the academy and gave Sara her notes and Sara only told one other person, her friend Dr. Frank Mandel. Sara tries to wake up Suzy to tell her someone stole Pat's notes and hands Suzy the notes she took on the teacher's movements. Suzy passes out and Sara runs out of her room to try and escape. She finds the main door locked and climbs a ladder to the attic. She finds a secret door and is stabbed and runs into the secret room. She climbs through a small window and lands into a room full of barbed wire and is stabbed and killed when someone slashes her throat.
