The parents hears Peter and Wendy's scream which caused them to not know what is going on and caused them to fear for their children even when their kids treated them like trash.
Peter threatens his father about shutting down the house. This showed that Peter is kind of a messed up kid and it showed his twisted love fir the electric house.
The parents announce that they are thinking about turning the house off for a weekend to take a break. The kids don't like that idea.
George and Lydia find the bloody wallet and scarf in the nursey. That showed that the nursery can come alive and kill.
