After fleeing their house, Bela and Mommy stay at Amanda and Dan's home late at night. Mommy waits anxiously for Daddo while Dan awkwardly tries to comfort Bela, and Amanda and Dan make it clear that Bela's family has frightened them. Mommy insists that what she saw was not a woman, confirming that the thing in Bela's room was something worse and harder to explain.

Daddo arrives after going back to the house first, which scares Bela because she does not want him alone there. He hugs Bela and says everything will be okay, but then admits he searched the house and found nothing matching Mommy's description. While Amanda and Dan distract Bela with a movie, Bela overhears fragments of Mommy and Daddo's private conversation about the creature's voice, size, hands, and hair, showing that Mommy is still deeply shaken and Daddo is struggling to make sense of it.

Bela interrupts because she thinks they should not stay there, and the adults finally decide to question her directly. Daddo asks whether any adult at school or in their lives has harmed or threatened Bela, revealing that the adults are now considering whether the figure might be tied to a real person or hidden abuse. Bela denies that anyone has hurt her, but when Daddo presses her to say who Other Mommy is and when she first appeared, Bela becomes overwhelmed and cries that she wants to go home.

The conversation pushes the adults toward practical action. Amanda urges them to call the police, and although Mommy hesitates because she cannot describe what she saw, Daddo decides to report that someone was in their house. This marks a shift from private fear and disbelief to seeking outside help, even though none of them can explain the threat clearly.

Once the others leave, Mommy asks Bela whether the thing was in her closet and where else Bela has seen it. Bela says it has also been in the walls, bathroom, and at the park. From that pattern, Mommy realizes the creature is not attached only to the house but is following Bela herself, which makes the danger feel larger and more personal. As Daddo gives their address over the phone, Mommy asks Amanda and Dan to turn on their alarm system, and Dan admits that Bela's family has now scared them all badly.
