The 10th-graders take a field trip to the anatomy lab at a medical university. During the ride, the students discuss a TV special about Satanism that aired the previous night, as well as Satan-related rumors about local children. A doctor shows the students body parts in jars and talks about medical classes. Abby nearly trips over a bucket of fetuses on the ground, and finds the field trip disturbing. On the ride back, the students continue to discuss Satanism.
Abby goes to the library and learns “Andy’s” phone number from Gretchen’s notebook has a Tampa area code. She knows his last name is Solomon, so she searches variations of the name in a phone book and calls them. One Andy tells Abby that he hasn’t spoken to Gretchen for a long time. Abby dreads Halloween weekend, fearing Gretchen might do something.
On Monday morning, Principal Major calls in Abby’s parents, saying she should withdraw from the school due to her recent behavior. Over the weekend, Wallace was drunk at a football game, and someone told Principal Major that Abby provided Wallace with alcohol. Furthermore, Gretchen said Abby stole her notebook, but Abby denies it. Principal Major receives a call, as someone stole one of the fetuses from the anatomy lab.
