In the darkness, Katherine, the family's mother, has a vivid dream. Both Caleb and Samuel — the infant who dies at the start of the film — return from the dead. She believes she's holding them in her arms, but a brief flash to reality shows she's holding a blackbird, and it's pecking ceaselessly at the flesh of her nipple. (It's as gross as it sounds.)
Meanwhile, a guest has broken into the boarded-up stable, where the three children are spending the night. It's the real witch herself, back in all her ugly, naked glory. She's drinking from Black Phillip, and when she notices the company, she laughs. Come morning, the whole stable is destroyed — a huge hole has been gouged in the side. The twins are presumed dead in the wreckage. Thomasin staggers out.
