katy and shell explore and enter hector's bedroom, where they find a circle of salt around the bed. they hear the bell again and trace the sound to andras's room. when katy opens the bed's curtains, andras's deformed body is revealed; he is tied to the bed and gagged. katy goes to untie him, believing that hector and tabitha have kept him prisoner. shell asks how andras could have rung the bell if his hands were tied. hector and tabitha appear and show that it is they who rang the bell. they quote dante's "inferno" and explain that hell is cold, as the text says, so the house must be kept refrigerated for andras. they say he was possessed at age ten by castiel, demon of mischief, but castiel needs a new human host every fifty years, and andras is now dying. katy was chosen as the next host after a mutual friend at tabitha and hector's church recommended her to them. it is revealed that shell also attends the church, and she helped them to lure katy. shell implies that the church's members protect the earth from being overrun by demons.
