Chapter 6 Summary: “The Final Girl Support Group VI: The Next Generation”

Lynnette wakes up at Dr. Carol’s house. Eight-year-old Pax comments, “Nice rack,” and he and his brother Skye laugh at a T-shirt featuring Lynnette’s story, which they’ve found while researching who she is online. Lynnette offers to show Skye her scars, and he asks her what the pain of getting them was like.

Dr. Carol gets a call that Dani is in custody; the police reopened her case and told her to come in for questioning because someone had confessed to the crime in her story, but she refused to leave her dying wife Michelle. When the officers wouldn’t leave, Dani shot into the air, so they tasered her and took her to jail. Then they moved Michelle to hospice.

In the 1980s, Dani’s older brother Nick enjoyed killing animals and other things that were smaller than him. When Dani was seven, he hurt their babysitter badly enough that he got sent to a facility. Her parents took her to visit him a few years later, but it was so upsetting for Dani to see Nick so incapacitated by anti-psychotic medication that she never went back, which she regrets. When she was 17, a Halloween storm allowed facility inmates to escape.
