Maren takes the sphinx trophy and gets in bed. In her dreams, Mrs. Harmon tells her that Sully is not nice. She disagrees when Maren says she and Sully are alike. The dream changes, and Maren is now beneath the pile of coats at Jamie’s house, and her mother is calling for her to wake up. She wakes to find Sully in a chair, watching her sleep. When she confronts him, he reveals that Frank is his son, which makes Sully Maren’s grandfather.
Sully explains that the Yearlys stole Frank from him. He has been waiting to connect with Maren since he couldn’t get to his son. Maren then realizes that he’s going to kill her. Sully reminds her that he eats the dead but says they don’t always die on their own time. When he pins her arms to the bed, she manages to knock him off balance with her hips, grabs the sphinx, and hits him in the head. He stops moving after a second blow.
Maren makes it to the road and sees Travis’s empty car, which she then drives to his house. She finds $700 in a shoe in Travis’s closet.
