Chloe escapes Lyle House after learning of its true nature from its ghosts. She is contacted several times by her former roommate, Liz, who was transferred, and derives her suspicion from the fact that Liz would have to be a ghost, and therefore dead, for her to speak with Chloe.

Chloe comes to realize the others' powers, and that they were all placed in Lyle House. She is taken to Lyle House after seeing a ghost and reacting violently to get away from the ghost.
