Following Dana's murder, the killer uses her cellphone to call the girls. Suspecting that something is wrong, they go outside to look for her, only to discover Eve's severed head inside her car. Kelli calls 9-1-1, but is told that due to the snowstorm, help would be unavailable for at least two hours. When their housemother Mrs. Mac and Heather decide to take the car and reach the police station themselves, Kelli, Leigh and Melissa all go to Lauren's room to watch through the window and make sure they leave safely. Noticing that they're not leaving, Kelli and Leigh go to check on them through the basement where Leigh slips on Mrs. Mac's blood, who had been killed by a falling icicle. During their absence, Melissa and Lauren are killed by the assailant. Going back to Lauren's room, Kyle has returned and, after a quick confrontation between him and Leigh, they decide to go to the attic in case any of the girls are still alive.
