Meanwhile, the children who died in the mines emerge as zombies and begin to kill, which is dismissed among the community as disappearances, though it is hinted that most of the community is aware of the presence of the children. As it turns out, the Tunny and Hanks families are relatives of the zombie children, who leave blood relatives alive while killing all others. Emma, who has had friendly contact with one of the zombies named Mary, informs her mother that the zombies won't eat her, and that Mary would not directly hurt her mother (who is not a direct Tunny blood relative), but passes on the warning that the other children might. Karen finds some old family photo albums in the basement that contain pictures of her late husband, as well as the Tunny and Hanks children, thus revealing that the family is related to some of the children who died in the mine.
