Halloween night arrives, and Cat is learning to embrace both her Mexican heritage and her new life in Bahía de la Luna. She shows this by dressing up as La Catrina, and Cat’s friends show up to go trick or treating together. Maya is dressed as an angel but has to stay home due to the cold air. This of course upsets her, but Cat promises to give three quarters of her candy to Maya. After trick or treating, the girls plan to go to the midnight Day of the Dead celebration. Maya gazes out the window as everyone else leaves her behind, distraught and feeling that life is unfair. Her illness will never go away, and she wants to have fun while she can. While out with her friends, Cat hears that the ofrenda her family built might open the door to other spirits in addition to her grandmother; she rushes home in fear, spends the evening with her family watching scary movies, and then struggles to fall asleep, listening to the spooky sounds of the wind. Maya senses that something is wrong with Cat and asks her why she will not go to the party.
