They turn away from each other and walk off in their separate directions. They don’t look back in the fear that they will change their minds.

Gomez arrives at the boiler room and as he opens the door and his children file out he sighs in relief. It didn’t get too hot for them.
“Daddy!” His youngest runs up to him again as he did earlier that night. They all seemed unhurt.
“Took you a while.” Wednesday looks at him with that common frown and then suddenly, for one of the first times in his life, Gomez sees his daughter smile. And again for the first time, she hugs him.
And for once, his children seemed a little more normal than usual and he was surrounded by a bunch of kids that actually smiled and hugged their father but soon he had to break up the reunion and they quickly made their way to the deserted ballroom. They all look up to see the looming chandelier.
Gomez looks at his children sadly. “We can’t get up there at all to disarm it, so you all have to evacuate the place. Okay?”
They all nod their heads and he follows them into the other ballroom.
It was a strange sight all these rich, extravagant people outside in the cold because of a bomb threat.
“Wednesday… Pugsley… Pubert…” He stops. “Pubert? Wednesday, where is Pubert.”
He sees his daughter gasp and point through a window and sure enough, there was her brother swinging on the chandelier. The bomb.
But she shakes her head. “Father, you have to get mother. Don’t worry about Pubert…” She sighs. “He knows what he’s doing.”
He looks at her outraged. “He doesn’t know what he’s doing! He’s only three years old!”
But she shrugs. “Just trust me. You need to get Mother.”
Looking at his daughter, he finally gives in and races back in to find their mother as his son swings from a live bomb.
