Synopsis

Maggie is at her mom's place, interacting with her and the rest of the family, feeling tortured by her sense of alienation from them. Later on, she heads to Hoppers and checks out Izzy's home, partially covered in black paint and supposedly haunted. She sees a stream of fluid trailing out from the house and follows it around the block, coming across a demonic-looking figure who lights it, causing a line of fire to head straight back to the house.
