The film picks up a few years after the first film (also directed by Emma Tammi) where we see Mike Schmidt (Josh Hutcherson) looking after his younger sister Abby (Piper Rubio) who misses her animatronic friends from the previous film. Meanwhile, Vanessa Shelly (Elizabeth Lail) struggles to come to terms with her childhood trauma, caused by the death of her friend at the hands of the Marionette, as well as her serial killer father William Afton (Matthew Lillard).

Things get dicey when a group of paranormal investigators (McKenna Grace, Teo Briones) unleash the Marionette at the original 1982 Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria location.

What Happens At The End Of ‘Five Nights At Freddy’s 2’?

The third act is full of twists and turns but in short, after exorcising the Marionette from Abby with the music box, the Toy versions of the animatronics are on the loose in suburbia and corner Mike, Abby and Vanessa in Mike’s home. Revealing himself to Mike and Abby, Micheal (the security guard from the original Freddy Fazbear’s location) reveals himself to be an Afton and Vanessa’s brother. He plans to uphold to work of his late father by unleashing the toys on the general populace and killing everyone, but before he can kill the trio, the original animatronics from the newer location (in which Mike previously worked) arrive and destroy the Toys.

Whilst Michael escapes, Mike and Abby leave Vanessa by herself, not trusting anything she says after not telling them about Michael. Vanessa watches them leave and the Marionette possesses her, leaving her fate as a cliffhanger.
