Dan and his friends decide their only choice is to lure Sister to follow them from Inland into the regular world, weakening her terrifying powers. As Josh quips: "What could go wrong?" Well, plenty. Turns out that Sister doesn't lose all her powers when she comes to Outland. And Dan is hearing warnings about a new danger, the enigmatic Rattleman.
