is the New Messiah. Her presence on Earth will herald an event known as the “Apocalypso”, after which “everyone will disappear”. Believing that Mari is possessed by a spirit, Nan hires a popular televangelist to exorcise her. Mari remains on her bed as the televangelist begins. As he speaks to her to be released from the spirit, she suddenly goes into convulsions and light illuminates from her mouth. The televangelist ultimately gives up, and assumes that Nan's house is possessed and is causing her adopted granddaughter to act strange.
