Hervé recalls his mother's death when he was a child, how she transformed into a rabid beast and had to be destroyed. He again visits Dr. Bender to check on the health of both Anna and Mireille who have the same condition as his mother. Hervé is distressed that they will succumb before a cure is found when Mireille suddenly falls ill. That night he watches disapprovingly as the four girls kill another beast-man.
