Grace and Dr. Jordan continue their sessions, speaking of the events after Mary's death. Grace meets Nancy, a housekeeper for Mr. Thomas Kinnear. Nancy offers Grace a job with more pay. Though another maid warns Grace not to take the job, she accepts, in part because Nancy reminds Grace of Mary. After arriving at the farm, Grace meets McDermott, a farmworker, as well as Jamie, a younger farm boy. Nancy gives Grace a tour of the house, including the cellar where the murders will take place. McDermott flirts with Grace, who does not reciprocate.

According to Grace, McDermott says that they should kill Nancy and Mr. Kinnear and throw their bodies down the cellar. However, according to McDermott's written confession, Grace wanted to murder Nancy and Mr. Kinnear by poisoning them; McDermott refused to help her. Jeremiah asks Grace to run away with him, but she refuses when he admits he does not want to marry her. Grace discovers that Nancy is pregnant. Grace overhears Nancy saying that Grace is quarrelsome, talks to herself, and that Nancy is considering dismissing her. Grace hears Mary whispering to her, sleepwalks, and dreams that she is assaulted by men including McDermott and Mr. Kinnear. She dreams of headless angels in bloody robes, which she interprets as a sign of God's judgment against Mr. Kinnear's household.

In the present, Jeremiah poses as a doctor to see Grace. Though Dr. Jordan disagrees, Grace agrees to allow Jeremiah to hypnotize her. That night, Grace ponders her contradictory statements and her trial, and debates what she should tell Dr. Jordan about the day of the murders. She hears Mary whispering to her. The next day, Grace tells Dr. Jordan that Mr. Kinnear went away on a trip, and Nancy uses this opportunity to fire both McDermott and Grace. McDermott tells Grace he plans to kill Nancy and Mr. Kinnear. Grace warns Nancy, who does not take the threat seriously. That night, Grace sees a vision of Mary, as well as Nancy's death. Grace's confession says that McDermott hit Nancy and threw her into the cellar, where he strangled her with Grace's handkerchief. Grace claims she cannot remember this, and that her lawyer dictated her confession. The next thing she remembers is Mr. Kinnear arriving home and McDermott shooting him. Grace tries to run away; McDermott shoots at her and she faints from fright. Another period of amnesia follows. Jamie's statements say that he saw Nancy in the yard, and that she lied to him about the whereabouts of the victims. Dr. Jordan leaves the city by train the next day. Grace recalls riding away with McDermott while wearing Nancy's clothes. McDermott says that Grace promised her hand in marriage in return for the murders; Grace claims that she cannot remember this.

Eleven years later, Grace receives a pardon and is released from prison. Jamie Walsh, the farm boy, apologizes for his role in her conviction and marries her.
