Mark figures out the link via a blue fuzz ball that Jason dropped and urges Ted to get rid of Mangler. Although Ted refused at first, he accepts Mark suggestion of asking why the previous owner sold him. The seller's brother owned it, but he died from an animal attack.

During the night, Mangler sneaked out of the garage and then entered. He then roared as he tried to kill Mark which wakes up Ted.
