7.10 Death's Door

As he lies in a coma, Bobby briefly revisits a memory where his mother scolded him for being filthy and saying it's like he 'wants' him to get mad. Bobby's subconscious manifestation of Rufus reveals that to wake up from his coma, Bobby has to access his darkest memories until he reaches the worst one, like Rufus did after almost dying on a ghost hunt. He visits a memory of a family dinner, where his father Ed Singer is seen to be a harsh and abusive man to Bobby and his mom. Initially, Bobby denies that this is his darkest memory, but he keeps glimpsing his younger self in other memories.

Eventually, he returns to the memory of the family dinner, where a teenaged Bobby accidentally spills a glass of milk when passing Ed the biscuits. His father reacts violently, hitting Bobby's mom as she cleaned up the mess. As he yells at her, young Bobby grabs a rifle, and confronts his father, fatally shooting him in the head and saving his mother. Bobby's mom responds with "Bobby, what did you do? God is gonna punish you." Bobby's subconscious comments: "You did what you had to do. This is where you learn that... they pretty much never say thanks when you save 'em." It's unknown what happened to her afterwards.
