Meanwhile Olive notices something off with Nancy and sees the information on her phone and shares it with Sam and they realize the truth Nancy is the creature, and they flee but Nancy catches up to them and begins hunting them.

David and Kathy find the objects and discover the necklace she wears is what keeps her on the mortal realm and they locate them and David eventually breaks her necklace and frees her.
