Discovering that the one commenting on her poetry is the same person she saw on television, Teresa believes that their friendship was fated from the beginning, and they form a deep connection.

Around the time when Theres first appears on Idol, a middle-aged talent agent named Max Hansen also catches sight of the girl, and becomes infatuated with her.

In his hotel room, he attempts to perform oral sex on her, but Theres perceives this to be him trying to "eat her up" and stabs him in the back with the stem of a wine glass.

Despite what happened, Theres still demands to have a CD made of her, and Hansen agrees due to the two not caring about the money or a signed legal document.

Her parents check her into a mental institution and a while later, she is released, and returns to Theres' apartment to find her sharing their music with a number of other girls.

Together, they kidnap Max Hansen and torture him to death with a power drill: a process he takes extreme sexual delight in.

Teresa reveals that she had earlier cut a hole in the fence surrounding the wolf enclosure, hoping they would join in the massacre, but Theres takes her hand and says that they will go to the wolves instead.

Having said that, he builds a palpable sense of terror through the alienation of his main players, and he proves with the apocalyptic ending that he's up there with the best literary horror writers.
