The flashback ends with Creb seeing a human embodiment of his doll Marjorie telling him to kill Alice.

Creb then returns to his tent to find his doll is missing and later finds it with Dandy, who had been stalking Chester after realizing the twins had had relations with him. After finding Marjorie in the main tent, she tells him to kill the twins by sawing them in half.[1]

The group of freaks toast in honor of Chester as the new owner of the Freakshow. Later on, he has a sexual encounter with the twins, yet this time Marjorie is watching. Bette asks Creb to put the doll away before they continue, which he does. Afterwards, he converses with Marjorie about why she was thrown aside. She manipulates him into believing the twins will not love him for the crimes he has committed. He is then convinced he must kill the twins.
