After destroying the shadow that Olivia turned on him, the master returns the bone he used to create the shadow to his own body. He tells the remaining ghouls and shadows to find Olivia.

Olivia uses a secret passage to steal Thomas out of the cellar. They get to the gate and Matthew opens it, but when he sees Thomas. he tells Olivia that’s not really his brother. Olivia realizes that the master tricked her, creating a lifelike being that looks like Thomas. Through the false Thomas’s mouth, the master informs them that he killed the real Thomas years ago. The false Thomas holds Olivia in place as the master and his shadows arrive. They overcome Olivia and Matthew. The master reveals that Matthew has failed to correctly seal the gate because the door has rusted over and his blood never actually touched the door’s iron. The master flakes away Matthew’s dried blood and reveals the door’s untouched iron. While his minions hold Olivia and Matthew down, the master enters the world of the living.
