How does Abby save Gretchen from András?
Christian offers to help Abby with her religious exercise problem. Abby is hesitant at first, but Christian convinces her that it is the only way to fix her problem.
She asks him what he knows about Gretchen’s possession and Christian tells her that Gretchen is possessed by a demon. He’s willing to help by performing an exorcism, but he warns her that it won’t be easy.
Gretchen was first possessed by a demon named András. Abby was able to break into Gretchen’s house and drug her. She and Christian then tie her up in a bed at Margaret’s family’s vacation cabin. Christian torments the demon by invoking the name of God and throwing holy water onto Gretchen. Eventually, the demon gives up its name: András. But Abby already knew this. The name “András” was painted on the wall of the shed where Gretchen was first possessed.
Christian continues his efforts to exorcize András, but the demon presents him with a challenge when it morphs into the form of Christian’s dead mother. This is too much for him. He runs, leaving Abby to deal with the situation on her own.
Gretchen escapes from her ties and fights Abby, who has no idea how to exorcise a demon “in the name of Jesus.” She’s Jewish, for one. Gretchen is determined to exorcise the demon in her own way and find a way to do it in the name of Jesus.
Abby tries something else. She invokes the power of her friendship with Gretchen. After listing different things that connect herself and Gretchen, she tells her best friend that she loves her. András finally comes spewing out of Gretchen, and Abby lights the demon on fire. ..

They spell out the letters “M-I-N” before stopping their experiment and laughing it off. But this likely was András trying to speak with them. “Mine,” he later says repeatedly of Gretchen. “M-I-N-E,” the Ouija board would have spelled.
