A couple with a young son check into the motel. Ted searches their car and finds a knife, which he confiscates. He also disables the vehicle so it won't start the next day. Ted forms a friendship of sorts with the son, and also creeps into the family's room at night to watch them sleeping. When the family finally check out, John tells William Colby that Ted sometimes forms strong attachments to motel guests, even hiding in the trunk of one family's car, hoping that he could leave with them.
