Mia just places it alongside the other dolls. In their new place, Mia unpacks her dolls and finds that one doll (whom shall be referred to as Annabelle from here) in one of the boxes. The family moves into a new apartment since Mia is afraid to return home. She is unharmed, and what's more, she gave birth to a healthy baby girl. John, who works at the hospital, runs to find Mia. A group of men run into the house and pull her out. She tries to run out of the house, tripping over a chair, falling on her stomach, she then starts to crawl but is then dragged by an unseen force. Mia cuts her finger on the sewing machine and tends to it, not aware when the Jiffy Pop catches fire. The next day, Mia is sewing and watching TV, while in the kitchen, the stove turns on by itself and heats up the Jiffy Pop.
Later, John is about to make Mia some Jiffy Pop popcorn until she falls asleep. Thinking the doll is creepy and involved with the mysterious happenings, Mia asks John to throw it away. She is ordered to stay bedridden for the remainder of her pregnancy. The doctors say that Mia's baby is fine but there was damage to her cervix. They murdered her parents and are said to have been part of a demonic cult. A news report is shown that the assailants were Annabelle Higgins and her boyfriend. A drop of her blood falls on the doll's face and sinks into its eye. She left a bloody symbol drawn on the wall while holding Mia's new doll.
Police arrive and shoot the man dead while the woman kills herself in another room. John runs in and fights the man, while a woman is also there trying to attack the couple. Mia stands back frightened when she hears it, and a man covered in blood appears from behind her in the closet, stabbing her in the side. She does and is about to head back outside when she hears a voice telling her it likes Mia's dolls. He runs out of the neighbor's house covered in blood (not his), telling Mia to call 911. She tells John and he goes over to investigate. At night, there appears to be a murder happening in the house next door at the Higgins home. John tells Mia she shouldn't expose the unborn child to such negative images.
Manson is shown on the tv screen, having recently been arrested. One day Mia has the television on and the news is reporting about the Manson Family cult and the Tate-LaBianca murders. Mia loves it and puts it with the rest of her dolls. She is upset by his attitude toward the pregnancy, but he apologizes to her and gives her a doll that she's been trying to find for ages. John is obviously nervous and not completely ready for it, even commenting on that to Mia. At church, the couple talks to their neighbors, the Higgins' (Brian Howe and Kerry O'Malley), over baby names. One year earlier in 1970, John and Mia Gordon (Ward Horton and Annabelle Wallis) are expecting their first child.
