Especially a doll like Talky Tina, who did talk and did commit murder-in the misty region of the Twilight Zone. But to a child caught in the middle of turmoil and conflict, a doll can become many things: friend, defender, guardian. Of course, we all know dolls can't really talk, and they certainly can't commit murder. and you'd better be nice to me!' Realizing that Erich was telling the truth, Annabelle drops the doll in shock. Beside him is Tina, who opens her eyes and threatens Annabelle by saying, 'My name is Talky Tina. Attracted by the noise, Annabelle finds Erich's body. Going down the stairs, he trips over Tina, who is lying on one of the treads, and falls, sustaining seemingly fatal injuries. He tells Annabelle to stay in the bedroom, and leaves to investigate. Later that night, Erich is awakened by muffled noises. He takes the doll out of the trash and returns it to Christie. Erich begins to question whether the doll talking to him was just his imagination, and he offers to return it to Christie if Annabelle will stay. She says that Erich should see a psychiatrist.

Annabelle begins packing to leave, unable to tolerate his hostility and irrational behavior any longer. He then ties the doll in a burlap sack and returns it to the trash can, weighing the lid with bricks. He attempts to destroy the doll using a vise, a blow torch and a circular saw, all to no effect Annabelle attempts to intervene but Erich pushes her away. Erich takes the doll away against Christie's tearful protests and angrily corrects her when she addresses him as 'Daddy'. He runs upstairs to find the doll in bed with Christie. It occurs to Erich that since his wife was upstairs putting Christie to bed, she could not possibly have made the phone ring. He confronts Annabelle, but she pleads innocence. Checking the trash can, he finds it empty. He places the doll in a trash can in the garage, but then receives a phone call and hears the doll's voice threatening to kill him. However, when the doll begins engaging him in a more elaborate conversation, he comes to the conclusion that Annabelle is playing a trick to get back at him for his treatment of Christie. At first, Erich blames the doll's manufacturer. When Erich is alone and he winds up the doll, it substitutes its catchphrase with antagonisms such as 'I don't like you'.
