Her mother tells her that her period is the result of a sin and locks her in a "prayer closet" to pray for forgiveness. The coach gives all the girls who mocked Carrie detention for a week and bans Chris Hargensen from the upcoming prom. A couple bullies, including Chris, go to a barn to gather pig's blood for a prank on Carrie during prom. Their plan is to rig the prom royalty election to where Carrie would win prom queen, and Tommy Ross, would win prom king. They would put the bucket of pig's blood on top of the stage and dump it on Carrie as she's on the stage. Sue Snell, the only person who doesn't bully Carrie, is suspicious of Chris but never tells anyone. Carrie's mother Margaret, tells her not to go but Carrie goes anyway. During the night of the prom, Chris dumped the bucket of blood on top of Carrie, and the bucket fell down and hit Tommy.
