Laurie, suffering from a laceration wound, was taken to Haddonfield Memorial Hospital. Michael followed her there after hearing a radio broadcast publicizing her whereabouts. In this movie, it is discovered that Michael and Laurie are brother and sister (she was adopted by the Strode family), which explains why Michael was trying to kill her. Dr. Loomis again stopped Michael's murderous rampage, this time by igniting a gas-filled room containing both the doctor and his patient. The explosion supposedly killed both of them.
