Two weeks later, under Tom’s direction, the housemates (except Don) finish calling all the numbers in the phone book, leaving messages where possible. Malorie examines herself in the mirror, sure that she will give birth soon.
Hearing Victor growling, Malorie goes downstairs and sees that the dog’s unease centers on the door to the cellar. Tom, Jules, and Victor go down into the basement to see Don, who first appears defensive, then tearfully accepts Tom’s invitation to join them upstairs. In the kitchen, Tom opens the bottle of rum and shares a drink with Don.
Malorie suddenly feels lightheaded. The others help her upstairs to her room, where she lies down.
In the later timeline, the sound of something moving on the shore continues as the sound of the agitated birds increases. When birds start falling from the sky, Malorie realizes that they are fighting each other. Suddenly, the Boy tells her that he hears someone talking.
