In the morgue, Eileen backs away from Anna’s ghost, only to bump into her corpse. She cries this isn’t real, as Anna’s ghost tells her, “You’re next!” Eileen screams she’ll do anything, so Anna’s ghost tells her to confess or join her. Eileen swears she didn’t kill her, and she didn’t know. Anna’s ghost orders her to confess, or she’ll haunt her forever. Eileen relents and swears to tell her everything.
