Marry Warren is begins to testify that all the witch stuff is a scam. Knowing that Marry still fears her, Abigail begins her performance claiming that she can see spirits. Abigail begins to scream at the ceiling. Then she cries out for something she sees to leave.

The other girls join her, Mercy pointing out that “it” is on the beam.

The girls claim to see a yellow bird, and Abigail begins to talk to it as if it is Mary, and Mary wants to tear her face.

Mary protests, but Abigail continues, until Mary begins to plead with the girls to stop.They mimic whatever she says until Danforth orders Mary to “withdraw your spirit back out of them.”

Proctor tells Danforth to give him a whip and he’ll stop it. The girls continue to mimic Mary as she screams at them to stop it.

Danforth asks Mary where she got her power, and Mary says she has no power. But she is beginning to weaken.Finally, Mary begins to join them, screaming at Proctor not to touch her, and claiming he’s the Devil’s man. Now the girls begin to praise God and welcome her back in to their circle.
