Desperate, the family runs upstairs and locks themselves in the bathroom, avoiding a room containing only a chair on which sits a doll with twigs coming out of its eyes.
Moments later, they hear heavy footsteps coming up the stairs, and as the strange man attempts to enter the bathroom, the family climbs through the window to the projecting roof.
Attempting to call for help, Bob drops his phone from the roof just as Three hooded figures appear on the lawn outside, and a large circle of grass seemingly catches fire around the house.
This is also a great episode for Louise being brutally honest in her comments and provoking similar candor right back: Look at how readily Bob admits that, yeah, being old is scary, or that the kids jumping out of a bunch of leaves was way more effective than his and Linda’s elaborate haunted house.
Those exchanges would be amusing enough if they were just between two strangers, but it becomes properly hilarious because of our familiarity with Louise and Bob’s personalities, perspectives, and mannerisms, not to mention Schaal’s and H. Jon Benjamin’s performance.
