The caller on the other end is, of course, Dawn, who is sitting on the coffee table, nursing her cut foot. She picks up the radio that was in the kitchen and presses random buttons. "Do it again. I heard you!" she commands. Dawn is seemingly overtaken with an ominous feeling emanating from behind her. She slowly looks over her shoulder at the couch Joyce was found on to reveal NOTHING. She faces forward again, and the lights go out briefly. As they flash back on, we see that the weapons chest has been stood on one end, and one dining room table is stacked upon another with all of the chairs on top of that. On the wall, "Mother's milk is red today" is written in a drippy, bloody scrawl. Gah. I'm so glad I'm watching this in daylight this time around because this scene really embiggens the wiggins. The lights go out again, and everything is back to normal. Dawn looks around, scared out of her gourd, and the mysterious banging starts up again. "Why are you doing this?" she wails. "I don't understand." The beating relentlessly sounds until it's subdued by Dawn's screeching. It occurs to Dawn that something might be trying to communicate with her. "Once for yes. Twice for no," she shouts." "Mom?" she querulously calls. One bang. "Are you okay?" is the next question. The answer is a big fat two-knock no. As is the answer to "Are you alone?" All of a sudden, the house starts to shake violently and all the light bulbs blow out.
