In the White House, Henry mentions how his doll "Joseph" protects him, which is in fact Chucky before going to sleep. The power then goes out and the Secret Service gets the President and his family to safety by going into the underground bunker before the power comes back on. During a conference the next day, press secretary Melanie explains that President James and his family are safe, and the power outage was just an inconvenience. As Melanie, Spence and James are in the Oval Office discuss the power outage, James insists that he does not want to bury the news or lie to the American people about it. James also introduces the vice president and Melanie to "Joseph", whom he brought along at Henry's request. He finds it odd that the doll has this name, as it is the name of his son who died the previous winter. When Henry returns home from school, he asks his security detail Teddy to check for him. Once inside, Teddy bends down and spots Chucky before picking him up. Chucky takes this opportunity to steal Teddy's gun and shoot him in the head, killing him. The press secretary informs the public of his death, which has been ruled a suicide. Meanwhile, Jake, Lexy, and Devon are attempting to use social media to spread awareness of Chucky and to find Caroline. Later at night, Chucky sends the three of them a text before calling them on an unlisted number, and when they ask where he is, he taunts them that his new residence has "strict policies against visitors". In the morning the three discuss their call from Chucky. Just then, they see a news story about Teddy's funeral, and see Henry holding a Good Guy doll. They then make their plan to travel to the White House and kill Chucky once and for all.
