Now the story is getting interesting. At this point the authorities have become involved over the shooting of Wax and Jed's murder... they are so perplexed by the idea of the house that they come and go in quite a hurry. Evetually it is revealed that Holloway committed suicide inside the laybrinth.
The house is also flexing its muscles, as it now has the ability to shape-shift beyond the confines of the Laybrinth. This is the final straw for all concerned, and they finally leave the house. The remainder of the story focuses on the aftermath and recollections. Several celebreties give their take on the film. Karen's infidelities are also explored in more detail, as well as her new found emotional independence from Will. Will himself has also become more distant and isolated, unwilling to associate with Karen and most other people. We also finally find out who Delial is.

Johnny Truant is further slipping into madness as well. He has sealed off his apartment from the outside world, most of his utilites have been shut off, and he is facing eviction. He is so consumed at this point that even Thumper dosen't have an effect on him. What happened to him is exactly what happend to Zampano (although I'm not sure if Zampano kept a .45 a .357 and a Weatherbee 300 mag rifle around to maintain "some kind of fucking control")
