Before the three can reach them, Meg and Sarah run into the panic room and close the door behind them. They are unable to use the phone in the room which was a separate phone line that was never hooked up by Meg. Intending to force the two out of the room, Burnham introduces propane gas into the rooms air vents. Raoul, in conflict with Burnham and Junior, dangerously increases the amount of gas. Unable to seal the vents, Meg ignites the gas while she and Sarah cover themselves with fireproof blankets, causing an explosion which vents into the room outside and causes a fire, injuring Junior. ........
