Oh... maybe it is my fault.

I thought it would help Abby

if she felt her mom

was still close.

I should have never

encouraged her to talk to it.

For once, I agree with you.

Kellie, that's enough.

You need to ask

why this is happening now.

What's new here?

Come on, Dad,

we need to do something.

Did you see that thing

try to take Abby?

It's threatening my family!

I'm not just gonna sit back!

So, what's it doing? Is there...

is there a pattern to it?

It followed her here. Maybe...

maybe it wants to warn us.

Abby thinks that it's Lexy.

No, not any more.

She's scared of it, too.

Abby thinks that it's Lexy!

And you saw this, too?

I don't...

I don't know what it was.

If my little girl is here,

I wanna know!

Bernard.

Bernard! Wait!

Bernard.

Bernard, what are you doing?

You guys can just

leave if you want,

but if there's a chance

in hell my daughter's here...

I understand, but...

I'm staying right here!

Oh, my God. Where's Abby?

What? Jesus!

Abby?

Abby! Abby!

Do you see what you've done?

I know you think

it's all my fault.

You really think that he's gonna want

anything to do with you after this?

You knew my mom,

but you really liked my dad,

didn't you?

What, you think

I didn't know that?

You don't think that we're all starting

to wonder what you did to take her place?

What?

I don't know why

I was packing my bags.

The one who should

be packing is you.

Jesus Christ, will you

guys stop and find Abby?

Bernard, you should sit down.

You really don't look good.

You go... you go look for Abby.

I'll be fine.

Did Abby come in here?

What? No.

I need you to hide.

Why?

I do not want my dad to

find you in here right now!

Hey, I'm not leaving,

all right? Let me help you!

Todd,

we need to get rid

of this thing.

Wait, what are you gonna do?

Um... I need to find Abby.

And then I'll come get you,

and we'll finish this, okay?

Okay, where the hell is she?

Dad, we're gonna find her, okay?

Uh, I, uh, I should have

listened to you.

If this thing took her, if it...

Maybe... maybe she's hiding

in the front yard.

Maybe, okay. I hope so.

Abby? Abby, honey?

Abby!

Are you doing okay?

Just...

a lot to take in.

You...

You seem so sure it isn't her.

Maybe...

Maybe you'd be jealous

if it was... huh?

Trust me, I was never

jealous of her.

This was her goodbye present.

Let me help you with that.

No, no! Give...

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Ah!

You... you...

You always...

were...

Daddy's...

girl.

Abby?

Abby! Abby!

Why would you keep this

from your dad?

Relax.

Why would you have this,

unless you...

Okay, just relax.

You don't understand.

She and Dad weren't happy.

I mean,

he needed somebody stronger.

What?

Like you?

Robin.

Robin, listen.

Stay away from me.

Don't worry.

Okay, Dad's in the right hands.

What was that?

What's going on?

Don't go out there!

That thing killed Robin!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God! Okay,

we need to get out of here!

Kellie, come on!

Kellie!

Kellie!

Thank you for being

such a great friend.

What?

You're so loyal...

and so nice.

You put up with all my stuff...

I really appreciate it.

I'm sorry, Todd.

I really like you.

But we could never be together.

I belong to someone else.

You did a great job, okay?

I just didn't want

the ghost to get you.

I didn't make a noise, even

when Daddy was calling me.

Yeah, don't beat yourself up.

All you need to remember is that

you're afraid of this thing, okay?

That's all Dad needs to know.

Okay?

Okay.

Come on.

Thank God you're here.

Daddy!

Abby! Where were you?

We have to leave!

That thing killed everyone.

If we don't leave

right now, we're all...

What do you mean

it just got everyone?

Are you telling me that

that thing did this?

That's why Kellie told me

to hide in the crawlspace.

Abby!

Wait, what?

You told her to hide?

Why did you tell her to hide?

I-I didn't want it

to find her.

Where is Robin?

Where is Bernard and Robin?

Why are you looking

at me like that?

Bernard! Robin!

Robin!

Ah!

I'm sorry.

I-I just needed

a chance to explain.

Wh...

Where's Robin?

Where's... where's Bernard?

All of this was Mom.

Oh, my God.

She was...

trying to protect us...

when Robin moved in...

from you.

Don't be ridiculous.

I would never have hurt you.

I have been protecting you.

I've been protecting you

for years, I mean,

I got rid of the drama.

I-I got rid of the yelling.

Think about how much happier

we were once she left.

You... you killed her.

You killed her.

Don't be sad, okay?

This is totally fixable!

We'll go back to the way

it was... just us!

Just you, and me, and Abby.

No Mom.

No Robin.

Just us.

Weren't the past

five years great?

Listen. Listen.

Why don't we just stop this,

and we'll figure something out?

What is it that you

don't understand?

Robin?

We don't need her! We don't.

Robin!

Robin!

Robin!

I'm sorry, I really am.

She was...

a fantastic woman.

Robin!

Robin! Robin!

She can't hear you.

I tried to stop it...

I did, but...

Mom got her.

She's forgetting...

I'm the longest relationship

you've ever had.

I'm your protector.

This is our family.

I love you, Dad.

Ah!

Abby, come here!

Abby, seriously?

Nothing was haunting

your mother but you!

That's not true.

That's not true.

Kellie, listen.

Honey...

you... you need some help...

but we're gonna get you some.

We're not gonna

be together anymore?

You just...

You destroyed everything.

No!

My baby!

Kellie, stop!

Come here. Untie Daddy, honey.

By the way, your art sucks!

Your hand...

Stop!

Kellie! No, Kellie!

Stop it!

Just some defensive wounds.

They'll see my side.

They always do.

Kellie, stop!

Dad.

You replaced me.

No. No.

You replaced me.

No, honey.

No!

I know, I know.

I still like

the other one better.

No, they're asleep.

They're tired.

Babe, did you hear her?

Is she up?

Oh, I'll check.

Who are you talking to?

You can tell me.

Come on.

Meh.

Just... exploring.

When are we gonna

stop moving around?

As soon as we find

the right place to settle.

We just need to regroup a bit.

But, you know,

home can be wherever

we want it to be.

Okay?

Mm-hmm.

I'm gonna go wake up

your dad, okay?

Listen, is everything all right?

We have to keep our eye on her.

The itsy bitsy spider

Went up the water spout

Down came the rain

And washed the spider out

Out came the sun

And dried up all the rain

Then the itsy bitsy spider

Climbed up the spout again

The itsy...

Again?
