Adult Fear: Janet is widowed and must now raise her son alone in an unfamiliar place, and then he begins acting out and claiming to hear voices. On top of that, she soon discovers that she is pregnant by her late husband and will soon be a mother of two. As an adult, Janet has nightmares of the house fire that slew her family when she was a child. At the end she must save Michael from another house fire. Mark's sister Laura, having experienced a previous miscarriage as well as having been present when her mother had one, is terrified that she will lose her next child as well. She's right.
