Catherine (Sophie Lee) is terrified by a Mimi sculpture that has come to life in her apartment. She surveys the blood-like tracks that have appeared on the walls. Clearly frightened, she grabs a kitchen knife and tries to dial emergency services. She then confronts the Mimi but it remains inanimate.

Later, the Mimi appears in her kitchen and starts rummaging in the fridge. It asks Catherine her name and when she screams it also screams in fright and runs away. Catherine then phones a friend and asks if they 'know any real Aborigines’.

Jonathan (Aaron Pedersen) arrives, but when he sees the Mimi and it asks him his name he also screams. Summary by Romaine Moreton
