VVitch

While under Thomasin's care, Samuel abruptly disappears. They don't know, but a witch stole the baby to kill and use the body as an ingredient in a ritual.

Devastated by the loss, Katherine spends her days crying and praying. William takes Caleb hunting in the woods, where Caleb wonders if the unbaptized Samuel went to Heaven. In response, William discloses that he secretly traded Katherine's prized silver cup for hunting supplies. At the farm, the twins play with the family's billy goat, Black Phillip, who the children say talks to them. Katherine blames Thomasin for misplacing her silver cup and holds her responsible for the loss of Samuel. That night, the children overhear their parents arguing about their possible starvation, and making plans to send Thomasin away to serve another family.

The witch subtly influences the family in secret, using the black goat and other black colored animals for her dark influence on the family. Her ultimate goal is to have the family kill eachother abd seduce Thomasin into becoming a witch and joining her coven in dark rituals.

Willaim swings his axe down, splitting a log in two. He looks over at Thomasin, noting her growth into womanhood. He knows that soon, they must marry her off, less he be tempted by her womanly charms."Thomasin, where is Samuel?"

The twins are seen giggling and chasing Black Phillip, their goat. They prance and sing an ominous nursery rhyme.
