Anna-Kat wants Katie to take her to the zombie maze, but Greg say no and they both ignore their warning and do it anyway. Anna-Kat gets scared so she lays on Katie’s arms. Taylor cuts a psycho off the road. But she calls Trip about the car who’s following her. Taylor goes to Doris for help, but Taylor cut her off. After Taylor cut Doris off, Doris confronts Taylor about her driving. Taylor went out on Halloween without her phone charged. Katie warned Taylor about that. Taylor asks Doris what is she doing? Doris then tells Taylor that she is gonna scare the hell out of her kids. Katie apologizes to Greg for taking Anna-Kat to the zombie maze. They talk about when she was a baby, and breaking down in tears all night and Taylor and Oliver were clingy. And Katie and Greg were completely exhausted. At home, Taylor tells Katie that she’s home.

Taylor: that’s what my mom told me.

Doris: well call her this second and tell her she was right.
