Margaret’s arm throbs from Elias’s bite marks, but she is too exhausted to care. She talks to the prankster ghosts, explaining to them that Katherine cannot see them. She is dimly aware that Katherine is on the phone in the background. Katherine’s ex-girlfriend Claire is dating a therapist, and Katherine is asking them both questions about Margaret. Katherine alludes to a family history of mental health crises and mentions the risk of suicide. She confesses her suspicion that Margaret is harming herself and explains that this all started to happen when Hal left. She has serious concerns about her mother’s mental health and does not know what to do. Ignoring this conversation, Margaret instead talks with Fredricka. She reflects on Fredricka’s kindness and is grateful for her presence in the house.
