On their way home, they encounter a tent bizarrely in the middle of the street in front of their house.
On their excursion they find supplies, two huskies, and some birds kept in a box. Tom and Jules decide to search the neighboring houses for supplies and for dogs they can train. Tom comes up with the idea of using dogs as seeing eye dogs, believing animals were immune to the creatures, but Jules refuses to put his dog, Victor, at risk. This tactic failed and George killed himself afterwards. George put his theories to the test by filming out of a window and then had the other housemates tie him to a chair while he watched the video. George had theories that the creatures could be viewed indirectly, which, if true, would allow humans to still see and be safe. Tom, the de facto leader of the group, tells Malorie the original owner, George, was the one who came up with the idea of the safe house and advertisement but was no longer with them. They spend their days sequestered inside the home, only going outside blindfolded to fetch water or empty out waste. Malorie eventually makes it to the safe house and shelters with other survivors: Jules and his border collie Victor, Felix, Tom, Don, Cheryl, and later Olympia, who, like Malorie, is about four months pregnant. She writes it off until she is forced to strike out on her own after her sister Shannon commits suicide, accidentally seeing the creature when a blanket covering her window comes loose. In the early days of "The Problem", Malorie comes across a newspaper advertisement encouraging people to seek shelter with them in their safe house.
