They spend the rest of the weekend bonding and making love in Holly's huge house, with Holly telling Tyler her father died and her stepmother travels a lot.

Holly reveals that she goes there now and wanted to surprise him. Tyler tries cutting ties with Holly multiple times but he fails each time. Holly starts hanging out with Ali, as well as Ali and Tyler's friends , Gil and Lydia. Lydia soon becomes suspicious of Holly when she discovers Holly's lack of any social media presence. Some time passes and Tyler begins to suspect that Holly is dangerous, especially when meeting her stepmother, Corinne, who reveals that Holly takes medication for a mental disorder. The next day, Holly intentionally causes Lydia to have an extreme allergic reaction after overhearing her telling Ali that she doesn't buy Holly's story and is going to find out what's going on. Holly later shows up at Tyler's house, telling him that she wants the two of  them to get back together. When Tyler rebukes her, Holly tells Ali that she and Tyler slept together. Tyler and Ali meet at the beach, where he confesses everything to her. Ali states that she never wants to talk to him again, before leaving. Holly then proceeds to get Tyler suspended, saying that he assaulted her. While on suspension, Tyler finds out that Holly's real first name is Elizabeth, and then looks her up online and discovers that she violently assaulted another female student over a boy and was committed to a mental institution for a while as a  result. That night, Holly kidnaps Ali and then lures Tyler to her house by sending him a picture of an unconscious Ali. Meanwhile, Ali awakens to discover that she has been tied up and bound to a chair in Holly's house. Corinne comes home and finds Ali and attempts to rescue her. However, Holly sneaks up behind Corinne and suffocates her with a plastic bag, killing her. When Tyler arrives at Holly's house, armed with a fire poker, he discovers Ali unconscious. Ali has been tied mid-air to the ceiling, forehead bleeding. Tyler manages to free Ali , and the two escape outside. Before they can get away, Holly stops them at gunpoint.
