Carolyn was being flung from one end of the basement to the other. Genevieve ran back up the stairs and decided to look for April but was met with Drew who rushed to hug her as soon as he noticed her.

"Are you alright?" He questioned as he held her arms in his. She nodded causing him to do the same before he held her hand and intertwined their fingers. The two stood like that for a moment before he kissed the back of her hand, muttering that he'd be back eventually.

Both of them split up with Genevieve checking up the rooms up the stairs and Drew checking whatever was left downstairs that hadn't been check already.

Carolyn's screams continued while Genevieve continued to look around the home. She ran back down the stairs ignoring the feeling of being watched and the sounds of the birds that continued to caw as all of them hit against the home, she was thankful that her and Drew wound up together in the next room which was the kitchen.

"Do you hear that?" Genevieve asked as she paused in her steps making Drew mimic the action as he nodded. He turned to where the sound of a child crying was prominent, moving a chair away from the table and hit his fist against the floorboard to catch her attention. Rubbing a hand across her face, Genevieve couldn't help but sigh in relief watching as Drew picked up a fire iron that he found leaning on the wall in the corner of the kitchen.

Looking into a slight hole, he called out to her in relief, "April!"

He hit it against the floorboard before the two came together and tried lifting it up with their hands. Drew then stopped and cupped his hands around his mouth to yell out to the others downstairs, "We found her! She's under the house! Under the kitchen!"

Shouts of disagreements could be heard causing Genevieve to panic as she looked at Drew who shared the same look.

"She's going to kill her," Genevieve told him as she stood up with him following after her attempting to apologize thinking he upset her over his actions when she was just trying to think of something to do, "Mom!" She then called out noticing Lorraine come towards them with a tight smile.

Seeing Lorraine get closer to the hole, the other two stepped back as she shouted towards Carolyn, "Carolyn! No!"

"Bathsheba!" Ed shouted from under the house as Genevieve squinted trying to see where he was at seeing as from behind her mother all she could see was Carolyn holding April. The woman turned to him and screeched but he didn't falter, "By the power of God," He started before continuing, "I condemn you back to hell!"

Screeching again in defiance, Lorraine placed a hand over her forehead while Genevieve crouched down ready to pull her mother back if the woman attempted anything. "This is your daughter!" Lorraine reminded as she kept her hold on Carolyn, "You can't give in!"

"You've got to get someone else to talk to her!" Genevieve told the two that were under the kitchen with Carolyn or better yet Bathsheba.

Ed huffed, "She's right." He then spoke up again but this time towards the one the woman held dear to her, "Roger, we've got to get her to fight from the inside!"

"Don't let her do this to you, okay? Don't let this thing do this. You got to fight it. I know you're stronger than she is."

Roger sounded and if he had to admit it, was desperate. He just wanted his wife back. So he continued even as Ed pushed him to do so, "You gotta fight it!" He even started to cry, "You gotta stay with us all right? Come on back, Carolyn."

"Lorraine that's it, get her back!" Ed told his wife while Lorraine reminded Carolyn to remember what she had shown her before. Carolyn screamed out a no but seemed to be doing as she was told as she screeched less and seemed to just be screaming as if she were in pain.

Crying herself, Lorraine added on to her previous words, "Remember that day that you said you would never forget. You said they meant the world to you." Genevieve stood up and moved back to be beside Drew who wrapped an arm around her shoulders, "This is what you'll be leaving behind."

This feels more dramatic than it should be, Genevieve thought to herself.

Gags and coughing were clear to the ears of all around Carolyn who seemed to be coming to her senses as she vomited repeatedly.

Everyone then made their way outside, Genevieve followed after her parents with Brad walking beside her as he held his cheek. She watched as he took a seat on the first step on the porch smiling before glancing at Drew who walked towards them.

"Ooh. A draft do that to your face?" He questioned the officer who squinted at him in response.

"I'd take a guy with a gun any day."

The two laughed before Genevieve watched as Drew made his way towards her, grabbing a hold of her hand and intertwining their fingers as they both looked towards the family who continued to embrace one another.

Drew noticed Andrea looking at them before she gave him a smile and nod causing him to understand as he reciprocated it before pulling the Warren closer to him.

He then looked at Genevieve as if he had something to talk about, but Ed pulled her away with narrowed eyes towards the male with Lorraine laughing behind them as she patted Drew's arm telling him to not worry about it.

Ed drove the three home, he wanted to question his daughter about what he saw but decided against it after the numerous looks Lorraine gave him each time.

As they made it home and walked inside, Lorraine then turned to the two, more so towards Ed, "I'll call Father Gordon and let him know what happened."

"Sounds good," Ed said as he walked to the room with the artifacts, taking the item April had to be able to put it up on a shelf.

Genevieve walked up the stairs and headed to Judy's room where she found her sister napping. Deciding not to full-on wake her, she moved the girl to the side a bit before getting in bed with her not failing to notice as Judy peeked her eyes open before hugging her sister tightly as she went back to sleep.
