==Plot==
Six months prior, Bratt is struggling at his old school. Despite his strong love of literature, he teaches biology and is fired when he attempts to stray from the curriculum. His landlord is about to have him evicted, but gives him three more days to get the money. This is immediately destroyed when his dog Fifi runs into the road and is killed by a driver. Things change when an estate lawyer arrives telling him that he has inherited the Biddle House. Back in the present, Bratt returns home after his frightening adventure and decides to turn the events into a book.
Bratt's completes his book, with the names humorously changed, and it is revealed what happened to everyone. Isaiah's arm has healed and he is focusing on his scholarship, Margot and Lucas are now dating, and James and Isabella have become close friends with the latter having repressed feelings for Isaiah. Colin proposes to Nora and she accepts, while Sarah invites Margot to Seattle with the offer of moving in with her. Bratt sends his manuscript and invites Ben to hang a stuffed Fifi on the wall. He reveals the book's existence, which concerns Ben, but Bratt qualms him and offers a hand of friendship.
The teens get together for a road trip to Seattle to check the place out and briefly run into Bratt who gets a call from the publication company in New York City. He is told that the book is great, but that they want a new ending to potentially launch it as a series. Bratt gets back to work, but cannot come up with a new ending. He considers one where the protagonists learn that they are all ghosts, but gives up on the idea when the publisher tells him that ghost endings are too obvious.
The teens have fun in Seattle, though Lucas noticeably begins to act distant from the rest of the group. Isaiah is visibly bothered by his relationship with Margot, but keeps these feelings to himself. James pushes Margot to consider staying in Seattle due to what it has to offer, but Lucas finally snaps at Margot about her obvious decision to stay and they break up. When they head back to Sarah's place, they learn that Lucas is taking a bus back to Port Lawrence.
The teens' parents are happy putting their misery behind them while Bratt continues to struggle with the new ending. After driving through the snow quarry, he begins to have second thoughts and goes searching for Slappy's remains. He brings them home and reads the card, bringing him to life. Slappy uses his powers to bring Fifi to life as a ferocious vampire and she leads Bratt into the woods to dig up a coffin and bring it home. Upon opening it, Bratt finds another card and reads it. Slappy suddenly becomes a lifeless dummy and the being in the coffin comes to life, revealed to be Kanduu, Slappy's true form.
Ben arrives to confront Bratt about his book, but is caught by Kanduu who uses his powers to turn him into wood. Kanduu takes Fifi and leaves a horrified Bratt behind.

Soon, Slappy begins to cause trouble for Amy and later her sister Sara who at first does not believe that Slappy is alive until she sees it for herself. Their younger troublemaking brother Jed is recruited to help. They ask him to dress up as Dennis so that they can catch Slappy off guard and defeat him. The plan apparently works with Slappy getting destroyed and a small green worm escaping into a crack in the wall. However, Jed was asleep the whole time, leaving everyone to wonder who actually killed Slappy.
