After Hugh dropped the kids at the motel on the night of Olivia’s death, he went back and found her dead in the foyer.

Hugh helps his children get Luke to the car, then walks back into the house with Steven. But he tells her that if she opens the door to the Red Room, “I will make a promise to you that I will keep forever.” Crain is half overjoyed to see the love of her life, half hella pissed that he took the kids away from the house.

Olivia talks a big, happy game about how now he’s “awake,” but mini-Nell keeps telling him to get out of there.
But that doesn’t stop him from attending a tea party in a massively cleaned-up version of the Red Room, where Olivia and little Nell are waiting. She also wakes up in the moldy and mysterious chamber, just in time to see Shirley and Steven’s CPR efforts fail: Luke is dead.
