** This is mentioned in Chris' page on the franchise's wiki site, but there is no source sited so I can't say if it's genuine or not. Either way, it describes that after she passed out, Chris actually woke up in Jason's arms while he was dragging her through the woods and was able to fight him off and free herself. She ran through the woods until she lost him and eventually ran into Crazy Ralph. Allegedly, this is what causes Ralph to resume his whole prophet of doom thing in ''Part 2'' even though, at the time, the original Crystal Lake killer was dead by the events of those movies and no one was yet aware that Jason was alive and thus there didn't seem to be any reason for Ralph to continue warning people of any kind of danger (other than the whole crazy thing). The wiki never explains how Chris ended up back home, however, just that she conveniently forgot all about the details of her escape after she had recovered.

* What's the point of Mrs Vorhees at the end?
** Simple explanation is that Chris had heard the legend and simply hallucinated her. Alternatively this is a genuine supernatural experience as confirmed by Jason Goes To Hell.

** In the original script he raped her but the producers decided to leave it deliberately vague as they didn't want to alienate the fans with anything "distasteful" (in the movie where they KILL THE PREGNANT WOMAN!). It may have been she was able to escape, rescued by someone else or he just let her go, not yet a killer until after his mother's death.

* Jason is shown attacking Chris in a flashback with a knife. However after he loses it he just keeps chasing her and then... she wakes up at home. So... what did he do to her? He obviously neither killed nor mutilated her and, considering that it's [[SexIsEvil Jason]], it's unlikely he raped her either. Did he just drag her around the woods then dump her when he noticed she'd passed out? Why?
** Well, Jason has always been a rather territorial creature. Maybe he had found her trespassing on "his" turf and just wanted her off of it.
** Jason doesn’t think sex is evil. Where is this reasoning coming from? He obviously raped her. This was pre-zombie Jason after all.
** It's less that he thinks sex is evil and more that it's not really on his agenda due to the fact that he has the mind of a child. If he did rape her I'd call it an example of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness.
