Two years later, in 2023, Maya Lucas is recovering at Venus County Hospital from an encounter with three masked strangers. The Sheriff and his Deputy dismiss her claims, aiming to prevent state and federal police involvement and the exposure of their cover-ups. Meanwhile, the town of Venus reacts differently to Maya's attack.

As night falls, Maya is trapped in the hospital as the strangers, discovering she is alive, pursue her. After evading Scarecrow in the morgue, where he kills an orderly, Maya escapes to a horse farm. She seeks help from the owner, but Pin-Up Girl kills the owner with a crossbow. Maya fends off the stranger with a pitchfork before flagging down Nurse Danica and her roommate, Chris Sampson, who are driving home.

Maya's escape into the EMT is short-lived as Pin-Up Girl, concealed within, ambushes her. Maya seemingly kills Pin-Up Girl by stabbing her in the neck with scissors, then flees in the EMT.

However, Pin-Up Girl revives during the ride and attempts to choke Maya. Maya deliberately crashes the EMT, ejecting Pin-Up Girl through the windshield and causing her death. As Maya escapes into the woods, Dollface and Scarecrow arrive in their truck. From her hidden vantage point, Maya observes them mourning Pin-Up Girl and removing her mask.
