His mind made up, he breaks into Glen's old house and begins the dark ritual to summon the demons and grant him the power to get his father's life back on track. He is interrupted, however, by three other teens who also happened to break into the house. While John and Moe are content to ridicule Terrence, John's girlfriend, Liz proves herself to be extremely interested in demonology, and convinces her two friends to join Terrence in completing the ritual.

In fact, when Liz comes over later, they discover they can use the Minion to grant any wish they want...but with dire consequences.
