As the film progresses, the viewers see that plant growth is affecting everything Jordy touches, as well as all parts of his body hair save for his head, including a humorous off-camera yell "No, not there!" As Jordy is drawing a bath when he starts to get itchy, he is visited by the ghost of his deceased father (also portrayed by Bingo O'Malley) who appears in his mirror and says "You ain't going to get in that tub, are ya? It's the water that it wants Jordy. Don't you know that? You get in that tub Jordy, you might as well sign your death warrant!" Jordy rationalizes "I'm a goner already, daddy" and states that he got the stuff from the meteor on him while noticing that his father's ghost is gone. Jordy gives in to the temptation and indulges in one last pleasure by taking a bath to relieve his irritation, which by the next morning causes his entire body to become a plant man, which he ends by taking his own life with his gun.
