He tells Andrew that he can't find Max and he swiftly replies that he's asleep, he then responds by telling his dad that he'll go wake him. Andrew then gets increasingly angry, shouting at his son and telling him to put the bowl back as it belonged to Max, not him.

Max's whimpers are heard from the back yard before a gun shot is heard, he then falls silent. Andrew then enters his home, looking distressed with a shotgun in his arms.

As Andrew's rummaging through Mike Palmer's basement Max's wails can be heard. When Mike enters and asks what Andrew is doing in his basement he explains that he is looking for guns, during the short conversation in between Max's cries are still heard. Mike asks what he plans on shooting and he explains that it his is dog and that something had torn into him; Mike responds by saying "You've got bigger problems that a rabid dog" and shows Andrew a wound on his leg. After talking for a while and Mike explaining what is going on and his theory of what caused it he says Andrew can take his gun, shoot him, Mike's reanimated children and Max. Reluctantly Andrew does so, shooting Mike.

Mid-argument over Max's whereabouts, the kids are attacked by Judy, ending the argument and leaving Billy's beliefs on Max's condition unknown.
