Irrational due to guilt over leaving Joanne behind, Peter escapes from the hospital he and Ingrid are brought to and returns to the woods. Joanne finds a campsite containing a dead body and flees in terror. She finds the wild mans cabin. Joanne encounters the wild man and attempts to escape through an open window but is hacked to death with a machete. A posse (which includes Ingrid) is formed by the police to hunt the maniac and look for Peter and Joanne. The sheriff finds the cabin, where he uncovers Joanne's body, leaving Peter even more distraught.
