Episode 7 of Them begins with Henry breaking into Stu Berks’ house, his thirst unquenchable as he helps himself to a drink. Gripping a gun tightly in his hand, he ascends the stairs, his ears ringing with the echoes of his own thoughts.
Upon entering the bathroom, Henry's resolve begins to waver, and he finds himself retreating back outside. Heading to a nearby diner in search of solace, he's startled to find the Tap Dance Man seated opposite him, mocking and taunting him over a cup of coffee. The apparition's manic laughter infects Henry, and he soon finds himself joining in, giggling uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, Betty makes her way to George's farmhouse, her nerves on edge. George offers her a drink to steady her, and after a few sips, she finds herself confiding in him, begging him to rid them of the Emorys. Betty's mention of violence serves as a catalyst, prompting George to reveal that he knows a way to eliminate the threat.
Betty gathers up a rope, continuing to drink, but soon starts to lose her grip on reality. It becomes apparent that George has spiked her drink, as her words become slurred and her movements increasingly erratic. Eventually, she collapses into a drowsy stupor.
Lucky, shaken and uncertain, heads back to Hazel, seeking comfort. Hazel wraps her arms around her sister, urging her to open up. As tears stream down Lucky's face and she begins to pray with Hazel, it becomes clear that this is not the real Hazel. The camera pans out, revealing Gracie's arrival, and she wonders aloud why her mother is alone in the living room.
At school, Ruby's visions persist, drawing her deeper into a strange world where Doris tempts her to adorn herself with makeup and transform her appearance. She immerses herself in white paint, coating every inch of her skin, and strides out by the roaring bonfire. As she begins to dance wildly, the other students and teachers stare in bewildered horror, unable to comprehend the bizarre spectacle unfolding before them.
Henry, meanwhile, makes his way home, but his journey is interrupted by the gruesome apparition of the Tap Dance Man, his face a twisted mockery of smiles and snarls. Suddenly, Sergeant Bull intercepts him, grilling him about Lucky and the events at Betty's. Without hesitation, Henry leans out the window and coldly shoots the man dead. After regaining his composure, Henry continues on his path homeward.
The family, overcome by grief and paranoia, gathers in a state of panic, convinced that a supernatural force is bent on tearing them apart. In the dead of night, they hurriedly pack their belongings and decide to flee their haunted home.
Just before they depart, Henry stumbles upon a trunk marked with the initials C.E., and inside, he finds the lifeless body of their infant son. With their neighbors watching helplessly, Henry emerges from the house, tears streaming down his face as he cradles the blankets that once held his beloved child.
