Charlie and Eve invite the family to stay upstairs so that the couple can have the rest of the evening to themselves. They sit down on the sofa and Eve again brings up her feeling that something is strange about the family. Even when she tells Charlie about finding Thomas standing trancelike and unresponsive in the basement, however, Charlie thinks it’s nothing. Eve notices that Charlie is wearing a locket, and Charlie shows Eve that it has her photo in it, explaining she just got it that day. The photo is rare because Eve hates having her picture taken, but it represents a feeling of newness early in their relationship. As they talk, Shylo starts growling toward the door, and the two women realize that it’s wide open. Thomas is outside, hunched over and crying, a look of sheer terror and panic on his face. He stares into the forest, apologizing to nothing, and asks where Alison is. Charlie yells at Thomas, startling him back to reality, and guesses he was sleepwalking. She takes him back to the house, but Eve stays behind, staring into the woods and feeling like something is watching her.
