As they leave, they come across a bloodied Bud, who has just killed the hospital administrator and they decide to take him with them.The group arrive at a rest stop diner shortly after changing clothes. Following an altercation with waitress Tammy (Nicole Andrews), Ike and Clarice quickly begin to brutally kill the patrons including a mortally wounded Tammy, in the scuffle Bud is shot and the group flee.

Bud's death sends Jackson into a rage, he kills the Deputy and has Lizzy drive them in the cop car to safety.During their drive the two are pursued by a now insane and deranged Hartman who opens fire on the two, seemingly killing Jackson and causing Lizzy to careen off the side of the road.Later that night, Lizzy, finding herself handcuffed in a cop car, answers a dispatch call alerting another officer, Sorrel, where she is. Sorrel visits Verna and reveals to her that Hartman has her son, Jed, at the old barn where Betty was killed and Hartman had Jed taken away. Verna has Sorrel killed and fed to the pigs and heads to the barn to save her son. In the barn, Jackson is revealed to be alive and Hartman reveals to a horrified hostage, Lizzy that Jackson is in fact Jed. Verna arrives and has Hartman incapacitated.Back at the Sawyer house, Verna stitches up the large wound in Jed's face and applies a muzzle to hold his face together. She then leads Jed into a room where his siblings are holding Lizzy and Hartman captive. She gifts Jed his original chainsaw and Lizzy watches on in horror as Jed bisects Hartman, killing him.As the family celebrates, Lizzy escapes fleeing into the woods and the Sawyer family give chase.

Lizzy almost escapes but is caught in a bear trap. She attempts to appeal to Jed's good nature, having seen the good within him, as Verna tries to encourage him to kill Lizzy to protect their family. Jed begins to soften as Lizzy pleads with him, insisting that he is not a killer until she insults Verna, calling her crazy at which point he brutally decapitates her.The next morning Verna is seen burning evidence of the night's events as the elder boys feed ground up remains to the pigs. Down in a basement Jed is seen creating his very first mask from Lizzy's face which he has sewn together to become Leatherface.
