When the remaining eight children in the hospital were about to be relocated to St. James Hospital. Charlotte caused the train crash in the island to obstruct the departure. On the night of the train crash, Maggie warned Susan that Charlotte is agitated with the departure scenario, Charlotte then fractures Simon's leg, which left Kerry Robert and Susan baffled, during the X-Ray, Simon had another fracture caused by Charlotte which further gave birth to fear and a series of questions that went unanswered.

The New Night Nurse
Two days later, Amy Nicholls, a new night nurse is appointed to the hospital and is informed about the abandonment of the 2nd floor, leaving her suspicious. However, as Amy got to know about Maggie, the legend of the mechanical girl came to light and a series of events unfold, including a minor sighting in the playroom, followed by a scream which left Amy and the rest of the children in fear. The event was followed by the elevator incident when Simon was about to be leave for London in the helicopter, Amy was escorting Simon to the hospital ground when the elevator malfunctioned and made it's way to the 2nd floor, both in fear thought that the mechanical girl will show up but nothing happened, as Charlotte was just giving minor indications of her presence. As days passed, these events escalated with a strange incident in the dormitory, this included Charlotte breathing heavy under the bed sheet in the dormitory, but as Amy uncovered the sheet, nothing was found except for a strange scream. These events forced Amy to visit Susan's house and was made to know about her death and the psychics she visited prior her death.
