They invite her inside and she reminisces about her past in the house including how she lived there with her sister who eventually passed away there. She eventually tells them that she wants to die there which Hank won't have it so he sends her away.
Later that night, Ms. Wakefield breaks in while Hank and Peggy are out Christmas shopping. When Hank finds out he's furious, calls the police, and has her removed from the property. The next day they receive the news that she died at a bus station that night which makes Hank feel bad and his friends and neighbors chastise him for it. Later when they come home they find the door wide open which leads them to believe her ghost is haunting their house so they split up to find her. Hank eventually finds what appears to be her dead body inside his closet and mourns for her only to discover that she's still alive. He once again tries to throw her out but his friends and neighbors make him invite her to the Christmas party. Later she tries to asphyxiate herself at the party which disturbs the guests.
