In the production trailer, Sidney reviews the footage of Dominic's arrival to the house. Upon seeing the confrontation between Matt and Dominic, he gloats to the cameraman filming him that this is sure to make the series a smash hit. Just then, a production assistant arrives with dinner for Sidney and the cameraman. The production assistant asks Sidney about the whereabouts of Diana, claiming that she hasn't heard from her for a few days. Sidney dismisses her worries by saying that Diana wasn't loyal to his vision and left because of that. Sidney then settles down with the cameraman to eat his dinner. The cameraman is just settling in to eat when he notices Rory's murder by the hands of the two nurses onscreen. He brings this to Sidney's attention who tells him to rewind it back. Before the cameraman can rewind the tape back, a horrible scream pierces the air. Sidney goes outside to investigate and quickly runs back to the trailer, telling the cameraman to bring the camera with him and come outside with him. Once outside, Sidney and the cameraman discover the production assistant with her throat slit, bleeding out in the grass, Just then, Agnes, still dressed and acting as Thomasin, appears and kills both Sidney and the cameraman.
Inside the Roanoke house, Audrey desperately searches for Rory. She heads back downstairs to the living room where murder is spelled out and Matt calmly informs her once again that Rory has been murdered and that the "R" in murder stands for Rory's name. Audrey doesn't believe Matt and the entire house splits up to look for him. Lee films the entirety of this as insurance against being blamed. After searching through the house, Dominic comes across a pool of blood in one of the closets. Audrey believes that Rory has simply left the house to head to Los Angeles to do his screen-test for a movie that he was up for and that the blood was merely an elaborate hoax concocted by Sidney to freak out the people inside the house. However, in her confessional, Audrey worries that he simply got bored of her and left her in the lurch. Meanwhile, in storm cellar, Agnes, who is having complete mental breakdown, believing herself to be the real Thomasin, claims her murders on camera, justifying them by saying that she was protecting her land from intruders. As she is talking the power cuts off and when it cuts back on, she is startled by an unseen force who string wooden totems up around her. In the dining room of the Roanoke house, Monet pours herself some alcohol at the encouragement of Dominic. Lee walks into the dining room and chastises Dominic for what she perceives as him enabling her addiction. Dominic leaves the dining room and goes to Shelby in the kitchen, trying to win her back. Shelby rebuffs his advance and as the two are talking, Matt walks into the kitchen angrily claiming that he doesn't care what the two of them do. In her room, Shelby is upset that Matt wants nothing to do with her. She pauses upon seeing her bloodied phone and the bed and goes to it. Agnes appears behind her, startling Shelby. Agnes attacks Shelby with her cleaver, inflicting a large wound to her but, before she can kill Shelby, Dominic interrupts her and knocks her unconscious. Then, Dominic goes to calm Shelby down. Once Shelby is more calm, Dominic goes back to tend to Agnes, only to find that she has disappeared.
