The chapter begins as Susan and Philip Holmes, Jodie's foster parents/ Y/N's and Maddie's babysitters, leave them with Nathan Dawkins and Cole Freeman, in order to find out what has been plaguing them. Philip is distant as Susan fondly says goodbye to them, seemingly genuinely regretful she has to leave them.

After they leave, Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie changes into their pajamas, and retires to bed with a flashlight and her stuffed animal, Bunny Gruff. Having a hard time falling asleep, they ask for Aiden, B/N, and Loki for a story, who uses the flashlight to make shadow puppets on the ceiling. They quickly falls asleep.

However, the lights immediately start to flicker, and monsters drag them from bed, attacking them. Cole, asleep behind the one-way mirror, is oblivious. Aiden, B/N, and Loki awaken Cole and fend off the creatures long enough for Cole and Nathan to burst into the room to find Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie scratched and bruised, and the furniture haphazardly strewn about.

The chapter ends as Nathan embraces them — Jodie, Y/N, and Maddie assure him that it would be fine from now on, as Aiden, B/N, and Loki are not afraid of the monsters anymore.
