Episode 7 of Goosebumps kicks off with an eerie twist as Mr. Bratt morphs into Harold before vanishing into thin air, leaving the children frozen in terror. In a panic, they bolt towards the door, only to confront a gaping void where the exit once stood. Isaiah, determined to find an alternative escape route, struggles with the basement door, but it remains stubbornly locked. The kids cling to the faint hope that their parents might come to their rescue, though their hearts tell them otherwise.
Meanwhile, Mr. Bratt wields their phones like puppets, sending chilling messages to their parents, reassuring them that the kids will be spending the night out. Nora's scheduled departure time arrives, yet Victoria, clinging to desperation, begs her to stay a while longer. Nora, however, reveals the unopened drugs she was prescribed and warns Victoria of legal repercussions before storming off.
In the elevator, fate throws Nora into the path of Mr. Bratt, who pretends to search for her, inquiring about a mutual acquaintance. He cunningly directs her gaze to the mirror, revealing a chilling reflection of Harold. With adrenaline coursing through her veins, Nora manages to slip away from him upon exiting the elevator, racing towards her garage. As she rummages for a sack, she bumps into Colin, oblivious to her discharge. Colin, shocked and eager to reconnect, tries to engage her in conversation, but Nora brushes him off, citing urgent tasks. With the sack in hand, she speeds off in her car.
Back at the house, the kids fidget nervously, their eyes darting around as they hear a strange noise emanating from another room. Their hearts pounding, they grab whatever weapon they can find and brace themselves for the unknown. To their astonishment, Mr. Bratt steps into view, ready to confront an imaginary foe, but swiftly convinces them of his true identity.
Colin approaches Ben, seeking guidance on his rocky relationship with Nora, revealing that she possesses a mysterious doll and harbors secrets she dare not unveil to him. Ben, taken aback by this revelation, hastily retreats to his car and speeds off, leaving the kids in a tizzy. They eagerly quiz him about his arrival and inquire about an escape route, but Mr. Bratt, having already scoured the premises, reluctantly informs them of his fruitless endeavors and urges them to reconcile with their situation. Undeterred, the children rally him and collectively embark on a mission to discover a way out.
At this juncture, Isabelle notices a faint glow emanating from beneath the door, a luminous white light beckoning from the depths below. After a brief deliberation, they devise a plan to send Isabelle down by fashioning a makeshift rope from curtains. Descending into the ethereal glow, she finds herself transported to the school hallway, which leads her to the theater where she witnesses people transformed into lifeless puppets. Panicked by the impending collapse of the theater, she hastily makes her way back, only to be hauled to safety by her companions just in time. In the midst of the rescue, Mr. Bratt accidentally bumps into a pillar, briefly snapping back to reality before being yoinked back into the confines of the house.
Elsewhere, Eliza and Ben venture into the mine, with Ben diving deep to locate the dummy they had interred. To his astonishment, the dummy is missing. As he attempts to exit, James casually drops the rope he used to descend, sealing Ben's fate and leaving him stranded. Meanwhile, James approaches his mother, who awaits patiently in the car outside.
Her mother grilled him intently about his appearance, yet soon dawned upon the realization that he was merely a doppelgänger of James. As the doppelgänger lunged to assault her, Ben intervened at the eleventh hour, engaging him in a fierce wrestling match. James' mother delivered a swift blow to his cranium, causing him to burst into a splash of yellow gooey substance. The revelation dawned upon them that Nora had indeed been right from the very beginning.
Mr. Bratt imparted to the children that pain was the key to restoring his authentic form, pleading with them to punch him. They concocted a plan to transport Mr. Bratt into his rightful body and coerce him to pen their escape route in the scrapbook. As Nora parked her vehicle to step into a quaint general store, Mr. Bratt tailed her, his car trailing closely behind. Precisely at that moment, Isabelle struck Mr. Bratt, propelling him back into his genuine body. He tried desperately to hail Nora and disclose his true identity, but his paralyzed hands failed to cooperate, preventing him from opening the car door. Biddle retaliated by punching him once more, sending him sprawling back into the confines of the house.
Inside, Mr. Bratt imparted to Lucas that Nora had halted at a general store, and Lucas deduced that she was en route to the secluded cabin perched in the mountains. Lucas responded by punching him back into the realm of reality. Mr. Bratt made another attempt to open the scrapbook, but Harold, putting up a fierce resistance, ended up throwing the scrapbook into a muddy puddle. Meanwhile, back at the disintegrating house, the children witnessed the house collapsing into ruins, marking the climactic conclusion of Goosebumps Episode 7.
