Winnie decided to strike while the iron was hot.

Yara had forced her biological mother into a mental institution years ago.

Winnie hardly thought it was fair for the woman to suffer such a minor setback for her misdeeds in the past.

To that end, Winnie hired someone to follow Yara and consequently knew her stepmother’s whereabouts like the back of her hand.

She learned that Yara had gone to the hospital after her huge fight with Hamish.

After leaving the hospital, Yara drank her weight in liquor at a bar, and she ended up booking the services of a driver to send her home.

Said driver happened to be dispatched by Winnie.

Based on Winnie’s instructions, the driver bundled Yara into the passenger seat and drove the car into a secluded alley.

Winnie hid in the backseat throughout the whole process.

She had dressed up as a female ghost, replete with ghastly makeup, a long black wig, and a billowing white dress.

As the driver pulled into a secluded alley, Winnie slowly emerged from her hiding spot.

Quietly, she rested her pale face on the passenger seat and played a pre-recorded audio tape.

An eerie voice filled the air, calling out Yara’s name over and over again.

Yara had not drunk herself into oblivion and was still slightly conscious.

When she heard someone calling her name, she groggily turned around to face the backseat.

She immediately saw a ghastly face behind her. The dark, secluded alley and the dim light in the car merely added to the eeriness of the situation.

Winnie’s prop eyes rolled down her face and fell right into Yara’s lap.

Yara was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat. It felt as though her soul had left her body.
