While Chucky reminisces about his first kill, he has a flashback to his 7th birthday in 1965. His parents throw him a party with kids from the neighbourhood. Peter takes photos of Charles with his camera blowing out the candles on his cake and breaking open his piñata. Another mom at the party turns the radio on, and Peter and Elizabeth gather around to listen. There is a mass murderer in Hackensack, and he killed two more people that day. The newscaster urges everyone not to go out alone at night.

As he is being stabbed to death, Peter turns to see his son Charles sitting on the staircase and with his final breath, tells him to run.
