At the police station, detectives ask Lynnette whether she had sex with the Santa Claus Killer. Lynnette demands a lawyer, realizing that she’s being accused of having a physical relationship with Ricky Walker, one of her monsters. Billy Walker, Ricky’s brother and her second monster, claims there’s evidence she did.
Lynnette remembers the Christmas Eve when it happened. Her parents went out for dinner, and her boyfriend Tommy came over, so she sent her younger sister Gillian upstairs so they could be alone. She and Tommy were fooling around on the pool table when Ricky Walker, dressed as Santa Claus and carrying an axe, rang the doorbell. Ricky murdered Tommy, pulled off Lynnette’s shirt, and impaled her on the rack of antlers on the wall. As the antlers kept her from bleeding out, Lynnette played dead for 10 hours, watching Ricky murder her sister and parents. The next morning, Ricky murdered the first cop on the scene. Garrett came in next; he shot Ricky, who jumped through the sliding glass doors and fell over the railing onto the ground, where his head split in two.
