Elizabeth reveals she intends for sky to still start her planned tour the next night insisting her daughter has burnt up too much good will and will run her career.

When she is intercepted in lobby and people believe the blood she is covered in is hers.

She manage to feign injury in order to gain a security guard pistol holding everyone off.

On street she runs into Gemma who she would reconciled earlier in movie.

Geem not knowing the scenario seeing Skye insistence decide to support her escape.

Skye taking someone vehicle a gunpoint.

In the car skye contacts Morris and ER nurse who had reached out to her having discovered she was suffering the same curse his brother had died from.

Morris thinks a way to stop the curse and entity behind it is for sky to die before cane cause her death.

He believes that even if her death is brief one before Morris amd medically resuscitates her.

The entity will be left without host during that period and Skye will be saved and no one will be cursed.

Skye shocked to see a phone call from Gemma.

Old Pizza Hut Morris has prepared for Skye death in a mega freezer intending to use cold to fend off brain death to keep her dead longer to give mor time for entity to leave.

He has syringe ready to inject her to stop her heart when Morris move away before they start Skye is attacked by vision of herself appearing bloody and injured like she did in aftermath of car crash.

She fights her doppelganger Skye snatch the syringe and inject  herself in neck believing she has beaten the entity suddenly she is not even holding the syringe as doppelganger mocks her.

Everything changes around skye who finds herself dressed in her stage outfit inside the pod she was rehearsing with earlier to start her concert.

She stumbles out of pod and she is now onstage at arena with mega crowd clapping for her.

Amongst the audience is Elizabeth looking uninjured.

 

The confused Skye then see herself start now standing across from her onstage this time dressed same as she is in her concert dress.

The doppelganger lift her shirt announcing the mega scar from car accident that Skye has on her stomach and then tears the scar open with her hands as version of the massive Monstrocity from Rose saw entity in first film before  she died rips out of the doppelganger and stomps over a Skye.

It pulls her mouth open.

Skye has collapsed on stage as crowd gasps with concern.

She stumble  to her feet and stand up straight with her back to crowd and everyone cheers is rapid recovery until she slowly turns and smile on her face.

We watch crowd reaction as we listen the noise of Skye is doing and its thumps and squishes and then see she has hammered her microphone into her eye  as she drops dead on stage with smile still upon her lips.
