Cujo

Charity decides not to divorce Joe. She asks Brett if he’d like to go home early, and he agrees. They plan to leave the next day.

That morning, in the Camber yard, Tad has a violent convulsion from heat and dehydration. Donna helps him but knows they can’t hang on in the car much longer. Vic is home and talking to the police about Donna and Tad. They debate the possibility of Kemp’s kidnapping them, but this scenario wouldn’t account for Donna’s missing car. When they consult Andy Masen, a lawyer in the Maine Attorney General’s office, he suggests sending a car out to the Camber yard to investigate, given that Vic urged Donna to take her car there for service.

Sheriff George Bannerman goes to the Camber place. When he arrives, his shock over finding Donna and Tad quickly dissipates as a growling Cujo confronts him. Before Bannerman can call in his report, Cujo brutally attacks and kills him.

At the Trenton home, Vic is awakened by a phone call. It’s Roger, notifying Vic that they’ve signed a new two-year contract with Sharp Cereals because of Vic’s advertising strategy. After the conversation, Vic finds a note in the kitchen from the Sheriff’s office notifying him that the police have located and caught Steve Kemp.
