History[]
As a teen, Eliza, Nora Parker, Victoria Chen-Lopez, Sarah Stokes, and Ben Howard befriended Harold Biddle, who had just moved to Port Lawrence with his parents. Sarah in particular was very close with him. However their relationships were strained when Harold found Slappy the Dummy in his basement and began taking him to school. This reached a head when, during a performance, Slappy insulted them using things that they'd shared with Sarah in confidence. Harold said it they were really secrets, Sarah shouldn't have told him. Nora, who had told the others that she'd seen the dummy moving on its own, said the dummy was clearly evil and influencing Harold. They decided to try to save him by taking the dummy. They broke into his house and Ben found Slappy and put him in the case. Then Sarah said they needed to save Harold. They tried to get him to accept their help, but he fell down his basement stairs, starting a fire and forcing the other teens to flee. Once they were outside, they decided that since Harold was already dead, there was no reason for them to say anything and they agreed never to speak about that night again. When Slappy popped out of the case, Ben broke him into pieces. Then they decided to bury it in Eliza's father's mine.[1]
Years later, with teens of their own, Eliza met with Ben, Nora, and Victoria. Nora told them she believed Harold Biddle was back and taking revenge on them by attacking their children. The others didn't believe her and implied she could lose custody of her son if she kept talking about it.[2] The adults ran into the house when they heard Isabella screaming and found her covered in slime. James appeared and said it was a practical joke gone wrong, despite Isabella saying James had splattered all over.[3]
After noticing James was out all night, Eliza made him toaster pastries and asked if he was out with someone special. When he refused to tell her, she asked him seriously where he was. He still refused to tell her.[4]
