The Chain

The kidnapped Amelia’s parents, Mike and Helen Dunleavy, are devastated by Rachel’s call, but lie to their son Toby and others about Amelia’s whereabouts, and plan to carry out their assigned tasks without police involvement.

In the morning, Kylie rehearses her new escape plan in her head. Every time one of the kidnappers comes to check on her, they’re always armed with a gun; the next time they visit, she plans to hit them with the wrench (from under the boiler) and knock them unconscious, and then take their gun and threaten them for the handcuff keys once they wake up (unless they happen to have the handcuff keys on them, in which case she’ll escape while they’re unconscious).

Rachel goes home to feed her cat, but receives a call from Pete, who needs help with Amelia. Pete gave her snacks that contain traces of nuts, but didn’t notice until it was too late. Now, the allergic Amelia is having difficulty breathing and her pulse is weakening.

A neighbor knocks on the Appenzeller house’s door, saying she thought she saw someone moving inside. Rachel waits for the person to leave, but a few minutes later, a police officer shows up. She goes outside and pretends to be the one who called the police.
