    Her next stop is a grocery store, owned by Will. She buys milk and cereal before leaving the store. Claire takes note of Anya and Will pointing out a mysterious man staring through their windows. Encountering a police officer named Ryan, Claire is given the same warning about this man. She soon gets the irresistible feeling that she is indeed correct about being followed by somebody. Her last stop is a toy/candy shop, owned by Robert. Before buying a toy and a bar of chocolate from him, Claire fixes his sign in front of the door. Returning home, her feeling of being followed diminishes.

Claire had finally gathered the courage to steal her father's car and escape his grasp forever, revealing this as the reason why she had gone through therapy.

    As the night settles however, Claire gets a panicked call from Anya, who warns her to stay home just moments before she screams. The stalker takes over the call, telling Claire that she will die. Claire then ventures into town and finds Anya's phone. She then spots the stalker watching her again, and yells at them, asking what they want. The stalker runs away as she continues yelling, and then Claire finds Ryan's badge. Realizing that Anya and Ryan left clues for her to find them in case she chose to take matters into her own hands and deducing that the blood trail is not from Anya or Ryan, Claire follows it and enters a butcher shop. She immediately knows she cannot trust the butcher, especially after he locks her in the basement. Claire finds the bodies of William and several of the co-workers from the the stores she visited, along with the robot from earlier. Despite being traumatized after seeing Anya and Ryan's bodies as well, Claire manages to escape. Arriving at a gas station, she tells the owner of it, Kevin, of what she experienced, but is forced to prove it with a camera. However, when she returns with the proof, Kevin reveals that before she came back in, he saw the stalker and he then tells her to get away and call the police.

    Claire gets home, but after hours, she hears a noise and hides in the bathroom, realizing that the stalker has found her. Facing possible death, Claire exits the bathroom and confronts her unknown fear. Robert emerges from the shadows of Claire's home, and it is finally revealed that he is actually none other than Timmy, Claire's father. He calmly expresses hateful words at Claire, telling her that she is no different from her mother. He then says goodbye to Claire as he runs up to her and stabs her several times, before she goes unconscious. However, as the sun rises, Claire has miraculously made it through her injuries, and she is approached by two unlikely survivors—Anya and Ryan. Claire explains that she thought they died as did the other victims, but Anya points out that despite the other victims being real, Anya and Ryan's bloodied bodies were not, indicating that she only saw what Timmy wanted her to see. Claire breaks down into happy tears when she realizes that Timmy had been caught at long last, and she accepts an embrace from Anya and Ryan.

    In the aftermath, Claire spends week writing a memoir regarding her experiences both in the past and present. As finishes, she states that she is ashamed to call Timmy her father, pointing out that he would explain in great detail how much he hated her guts. After Evelyn's suicide, Timmy's abuse had gotten worse, as she continues to point out, and then she says that Timmy had turned to drugs, and now looks like he has aged into a withered old man. Claire then finally finishes with her knowledge that she had barely recognized him in his shop and that he had never been caught for repeatedly trying to kill her until now. As she walks to the park, Claire spots Anya sitting down reading a book, and the two friend embrace as they stare at the sky, knowing that Timmy will be locked away for a long time as the end credits roll.
