Nikki Suffers a Terrifying Experience That Comes to an Unexpected End

At the ranch, Nikki sleeps on the sofa in the dark. She sits up and calls out, “Hello? Is anyone here?” She flashes through the scariest moments of her medical crisis and then assures herself that she’ll see again.

Nikki hears crashing glass in the next room and startles. “Victor? Is that you? Hello?” She calls out for someone… anyone… and worries about the breaking glass. She feels around for her phone and then hears a noise like a person is nearby. Leaping off the sofa and backing away terrified, she warns whoever it is that she doesn’t scare easily and there’s a full staff.

Nikki rants and rambles at the “intruder” for a while, inviting them to take their best shot. When nothing happens, she makes her way toward the foyer and rams into a table and then the stairs as she tries finding the door. Suddenly, she hears the piano playing and screams bloody murder.

The music stops and she decides she’s going to try guessing who it is. Maybe it’s Cane. No, that would be the end of him and Lily. Maybe it’s Matt Clark. She invites him to make himself known. Silence. Next, she thinks it’s Patty Williams coming after her because of her friendship with Jack. “Bring it on, you crazy bitch!”

Victoria Arrives

Grabbing a stone paperweight from the table, Nikki throws it. The piano starts playing again and she finally finds the door. She pulls on the knob as Victoria enters. Nikki quavers, “There’s somebody in the house!” Nikki squeezes past her, panicking that they have to get out. Victoria goes inside to check it out.

Victoria finds this whole thing odd… the staff is on duty. Nikki says the person was taunting her by playing Three Blind Mice. Victoria walks further into the house but doesn’t see anything out of place. She pulls Nikki back inside under protest and calls Victor, leaving him a voicemail. She then calls security. Matt is in his room and Patty’s in jail. Nikki hollers that someone was there!

Victoria turns on some lights. There’s still no sign of anyone and there’s no broken glass. Nikki felt someone move past her and heard the piano. Victoria wonders if she had a bad dream. Nikki insists she was wide awake and claims they took her phone. Victoria finds it on the sofa.

Sitting her mother on the couch, Victoria tries soothing her. Nikki wishes she could see again. Victoria promises she will. Nikki can’t do this anymore. She hurt her knee on the table. Victoria leaves the room to get ice and Nikki’s phone rings. She is told by voice activation that it’s an unknown caller and answers. Three Blind Mice plays.

Nikki is flipping out when Victoria runs back into the room. “It’s not a dream, Victoria!” Her daughter promises they’ll put an end to this. Victor will take care of it. Nikki fears what would have happened if she hadn’t come. “I’m so scared. Victoria, do you think I’m losing my mind?” Victoria reassures her they’ll get through this.

Victoria helps her mother to the piano and she plays, pausing to vow the darkness won’t define her. She won’t live in fear. Victoria then leads her back to the sofa, complaining about the staff not responding. She’ll go take a look around and get tea.

The Final Scenes

Once alone, Nikki hears someone smash the keys on the piano and cries out, “Victoria! They’re back!” She fumbles her way across the room and calls security, but they don’t answer. A lamp falls and she screams. Realizing Victoria isn’t coming, she vows to kill the presence if they’ve hurt her daughter. She’s railing, “Answer me!” when Victor calls out.

Nikki awakens from her nightmare on the sofa. Victor is there telling her she had a bad dream. He woke her up. She gasps, “So, it was a dream.” She lets him take her into his arms as she rambles about the terrifying experience. “It seemed so real.”

Suddenly, Nikki realizes she can see shapes. Her focus returns as she looks at Victor’s face. She cries, “Victor! I can see you!” Her vision is coming back!
