You Belong Here

When Beckett returns to her parents’ house, the mask is gone. Someone—not Cliff or Delilah—took it. To gain proof of an intruder, Beckett tapes the front and back doors before leaving for Violet’s “immaculate” home in the Estates.

Beckett meets Joseph Wharton, who, unlike Bryce, isn’t tall but “hunched.” She then sees Violet near a swing set. Violet scolds Joey for leaving her sight. Joey goes inside, and Becket tells Violet that Delilah is missing. They video call Bryce, who claims he spent last night in the dorm, eating pizza. He says he and Delilah aren’t friends, but he knows Delilah accused Hanna of stealing her belongings, so Hanna basically has a single dorm now. Violet speculates that Delilah is simply ignoring Beckett and reminds Beckett that children do surprising things. Beckett notices Violet’s husband watching them.

Beckett keeps seeing movement. She knows she needs food and rest. She tells Maggie that she still can’t find Delilah, and Maggie promises to ask her husband, Bill, who volunteers for the fire department. Maggie reminds Beckett that last night was the first howling.

At her parents’ house, the tape remains; the attic door is open, but Beckett didn’t close it. She inspects the basement and the dumbwaiter that once brought food from the chef’s basement kitchen to the residents dining above.
