Keeping a low profile, Nicky views the Neighbor shut and lock the basement door. After seeing the Neighbor struggle with what is most likely a hostage, Nicky quickly runs over to the house.
Nicky wakes up outside his actual house on a blue couch, startled after hearing a scream.

Nicky opens the boarded-up front door, moves his belongings inside, and then takes a nap on a covered up couch. He parks in front of a derelict-looking blue house. Nicky Roth is in his car driving to a new neighborhood.
