Dougie and Kevin look outside for the spectral car - but it's gone. Kevin's gold medal has vanished from his pockets. Once doorbell rings. The night holds one last surprise - on the doorstep sits Miss Clove's unbroken vase. Inside is a note: "Trick or Treat?"

Dougie runs to the Claw, and picks it up. He could wish for his parents safety - but any wish asked of the Claw makes bad things happen. Dougie offhandedly wishes his deceased Grandpa to be here. The Claw twitches and glows - what will its magic make of ''[[CameBackWrong this]]''? From outside sounds the horn of a car.Through the mist, a familiar car pulls to a stop. Over the Claw, Kevin and Dougie struggle. Outside, through the mist, a shadow falls across the yard. The doorbell rings. Dougie seizes the Claw. He apologises for breaking the vase, and wishes for it never to have happened. The Claw glows orange, and fades away. The doorbell rings again. In the doorway, completely unharmed are Dougie's parents. In relief, Dougie hugs them both.
