When he arrives, he realizes his wife is having an affair. Since he loves her, he forgives her, but trains the gun on the man. During the struggle, the gun goes off, and kills the wife. The distraught husband thinks to himself that without her life is not worth living and commits suicide, which back in the office building, the electronic brain also correctly predicts.

A witch dies of heart failure before being burned and possesses the nearest living body, that of a witch hunter. The witch thinks this will be the perfect cover for her to practice her witchcraft, but she reckons without the man's son, who senses the evil presence and burns the cabin down.
