On a Thursday morning in December, a large crowd gathers at St. Mary’s Cemetery for Tyler Grant’s funeral. Griselda, ostracized since her son’s punishment, watches from a distance. Robert Grim is also there, haunted by his encounter with Katherine and certain that she is executing a plan. After the funeral, Griselda returns home to her traumatized son, Jaydon. She recalls nearly murdering him with sewing scissors as both a mercy killing and a sacrifice.

When Griselda reaches the butcher shop, which she must pass through to get to her living space, she discovers that her meat has supernaturally spoiled. As the funeral bells toll, Matt awakens in the hospital. He screams a warning that an unnamed “him” must not ever cut open Katherine’s eyes.

That afternoon, Steve isolates himself at home in his grief while Jocelyn leaves to be with Matt at the hospital. As he recalls the suicidal ideation he experienced immediately after the viewing, he visits Fletcher’s grave and tries to avoid thinking about the possibility that Katherine brought the dog back to life. Lawrence finds Steve there and confesses his suspicion: Jaydon may have used their recording of Katherine’s whispers to drive Tyler to suicide.
