Fiona notes how hard it is to tell the truth from the perspective of a ghost since they are essentially narrating a story to themselves. Sandy Wainwright comes downstairs, and Claire tells her to take her son, Bennett. Kayla has disappeared, and Sandy and David are waiting upstairs for Fiona and Claire to tell them if the spirit of Kayla Reece has left the house.

Aidan fell in love with Kayla as soon as he met her when she was technically separated from Michael. Michael is a professor in mathematics, and Aidan suspected that people told Michael he was a genius so often that Michael felt like he was God. Kayla told Aidan how Michael started abusing her after they were married, including kicking her in the stomach, which caused her to miscarry her pregnancy. Aidan wanted Kayla to get a restraining order, but Kayla planned to deny Michael attention, hoping he would get bored and leave her alone. Aidan does not regret his death, but he does not know that only killing Aidan would not be enough to satiate Michael.
