After being strapped to the device that killed the previous guard and narrowly escaping, Mike is cornered and injured by Foxy. Meanwhile, a damaged yellow Freddy animatronic (Golden Freddy), possessed by the leader of the children, presumably kills Jane and takes Abby back to the pizzeria. Vanessa treats Mike's injuries and reveals that she is the daughter of William Afton, the serial killer who kidnapped and murdered the five children and Garrett. He hid their bodies in the animatronics, knowing the police would never search them, and their souls are under his control.

The animatronics are defeated, but are reactivated by Steve Raglan, who arrives wearing the "yellow rabbit" suit, and reveals himself to be William.
