As soon as Mr. Brophy leaves, Isaiah tells Gabriel that they need to leave the house because of Mr. Brophy’s true nature. Gabriel, however, is distracted by the smell of fast food. Mikayla leads the group toward the greasy white paper bags on the cabinet and floor. Despite his fear, Isaiah pretends to share in their excitement as Mikayla offers him a piece of fried apple pie. Just as Isaiah is about to take a bite, a mousetrap snaps, and the mice freeze in terror.

The mice race to Gwindell, whose tail and right leg are caught in the mousetrap. Gabriel, Mikayla, and the others try to calm her. Isaiah proposes prying up the bar. The group attempts to lift it together, but their efforts are in vain. Mr. Brophy reenters the kitchen, forcing the mice to hide Gwindell and the trap behind the refrigerator. While Mr. Brophy complains about the people at work berating him for letting Isaiah get away, Isaiah remains focused on rescuing Gwindell. Gabriel whispers about preparing for a funeral, but Isaiah reassures Gwindell that they will save her.
