Father tells Peter that he’ll put out rat poison to stop the noises Peter hears, but the tapping persists. On the playground, Brian shoves Peter from behind, causing him to drop and destroy a pumpkin.
Peter runs away from school to his house. Miss Devine visits his home and pulls out Peter’s drawing, suggesting that it may be a sign of a deeper issue. Mother doesn’t listen.
When Miss Devine leaves, Mother and Father confront Peter about the picture and threaten to ground him, drilling into his head that the girl he hears isn’t real.
His parents lock him in his room. He...
