The same goes for a scene where Chloe might be talking to her mother, who suddenly appears in a closet, or it might just be a ghost of her. One day, she left the house while her father was asleep, and she was approached by an old man in an ice cream truck standing in front of her house. Nancy subsequently contacts the Abnormal Defense Force (ADF) to apprehend Chloe and her family, but Chloe uses her powers to trick the ADF agents into believing that Nancy is abnormal and they kill her. When Chloe eventually manages to leave the house, she discovers her own abnormal power of telepathy at the prodding of an elderly ice cream truck driver. Upon discovering that Chloe left the house and has been in contact with Alan, Henry brings her to the home of the neighboring Reed family, who have entered into a prior agreement to care for Chloe in exchange for cash.

When the Reed matriarch Nancy becomes concerned over Chloe's unusual behaviour, Chloe uses her abilities on Nancy, causing Nancy to opt-out of the agreement with Henry.
