Episode Summary
Mabel escapes into the garden after burning down the house, speaking about herself and Anna. She hears static and distortion before hearing Anna say her very first line-- "I'm going into the ground for you". She goes to chase down the voice and the House starts screaming her name; she runs away and continues to talk to Anna.

She falls asleep at some point and wakes up with her hair tied up with a rope. She can't cut it away, so she follows it to the end of the string, which is tied to an oak tree that has a hollow within it. Mabel, hoping to find Anna, steps inside, and finds Anna's voicemail echoing within.

The last thing we hear before the episode cuts off is Anna's doppleganger-- the person who trapped Mabel-- telling her hello.

 * The labyrinth motif continues due to the 'thread' in Mabel's hair, leading Anna's doppleganger to be positioned as both Theseus and the Minotaur.
 * Mabel being tied around an oak tree is similar to Vera's later line about being made of very sturdy, good quality oak.
