About this episode

Heather’s afternoon visit to her friend Jenny’s house takes a disturbing turn when a doll in the next room seems to fix its gaze on them, no matter how many times they try to shut it away. As doors open on their own and the doll refuses to stay where it’s placed, the unease builds into something far more sinister. A simple childhood object becomes the center of a growing nightmare, leaving Heather to question whether they were ever truly alone.
