The network wants Elsa to do a live Halloween special, but she refuses to perform on that night due to the Edward Mordrake curse. Then the president of the network tells her that gossip columnist Hedda Hopper has obtained the snuff film of Elsa having her legs sawed off and will be going public with the story. He also mentions that Hopper had a detective trace her trail back to Jupiter, FL and discovered she used to run a freak show, which is a violation of her morality clause. He then informs her that most of the freaks where found murdered eight years prior. At this point, Elsa knows her life in Hollywood is finished. She agrees to perform on Halloween as a form of suicide.

She goes on live and starts performing "Heroes" by David Bowie. We cut to Des and her husband (Malcolm-Jamal Warner) walking on a city street after taking their two sons trick-or-treating. She looks inside a store window and sees Elsa's show on television. We then see Jimmy sitting at home, also watching the broadcast. A pregnant Dot and Bette come and sit on the couch by him, implying they are now married. The twins decide to shut off the program.

Edward Mordrake (along with Twisty the Clown and a few other victims) shows up at the studio to claim Elsa. She stops performing and asks to be taken. Everyone in the studio just thinks Elsa is talking to thin air. Mordrake realizes she wants to be killed and stabs her with his blade, but tells her she doesn't belong with his group. After collapsing on-air, Elsa wakes up in the freak show tent. She is reunited with Ma Petite and all the other dead freaks. Ethel appears and Elsa asks her if she will be punished for her sins. Ethel tells her everyone acts out the role they were born to play in life and Elsa will suffer no consequences. Elsa then prepares to take the stage again to perform "Life on Mars" to a full house. The screen cuts to black just before she starts singing.
