Ruby drives to the theater and starts saying that it was Jake that was responsible for Nicky's death. Nicky's voice starts coming out of the theater speakers calling her name. She hears a scream and sees Avery impaled on the movie screen. The next morning, Ruby hears Nicky's voice coming from the attic and follows the voice. Leslie is inside the attic and starts speaking in Nicky's voice. He accuses Ruby of double crossing him and as Leslie starts to choke her. Ruby hits Leslie in the head. Ruby dresses up for Nicky and picks up a jar covered with a piece of cloth. She takes the jar downstairs and calls to Nicky and removes the cloth, revealing it to have Jake's eyes inside of it. At the drive-in theater, Vince sees Nicky's apparition and a sudden wind storm hits the theater. Nicky's face appears on the movie screen and Leslie attacks Dr. Keller. Ruby is walking near the swamp when she sees Nicky and walks with him towards the swamp. Vince tries to stop her, but Dr. Keller tells him it is what Ruby wants.
