Uncle Doll says that he and Annabelle can go searching for Sarah on the following night; Bobby announces that he is coming with them. Mama, Papa, and Nanny are frightened, but Uncle Doll persuades them to agree. On the next day, a large present for Nora’s birthday gets delivered, but otherwise, the day is uneventful. When the Palmers have finally gone to sleep for the night, Annabelle looks down from the dollhouse and sees The Captain at the foot of Kate’s bed. She thinks the cat is sleeping, however, and so she, Uncle Doll, and Bobby navigate the stool to the floor as quietly as they can. They search the rooms on the upper floor, softly calling Sarah’s name and listening for a response. In the sitting room, they finally hear a reply. From a large box, they hear voices calling for help: None of the voices belong to Auntie Sarah, however.

The people inside the box explain that they are the Funcraft family: Mom, Dad, Tiffany, Bailey, and Baby Brittany. Annabelle reads the side of the box and realizes that the Funcrafts are another doll family, complete with their own dollhouse. She guesses that they have been purchased for Nora’s birthday.
