Open the recap & discussion — spoilers

Tiffany rebuilds Chucky and revives the soul of her former lover Charles Lee Ray in the doll. Her dreams of a future together collapse when Chucky kills her and transfers her soul into a bride doll.

Two dolls and a road trip

The pair need the Heart of Damballa, buried with Charles’s human body in Hackensack, to move their souls into human bodies. Tiffany hires her neighbor Jesse to transport the dolls. He travels with his girlfriend Jade, whose police-chief uncle opposes their relationship.

People die along the way and suspicion falls on the young couple. Jesse and Jade begin to doubt each other while the killers travel alongside them.

Two relationships under pressure

Tiffany and Chucky bicker, flirt and reconcile like a couple in a road comedy, except both are killers. Their small doll bodies make the poisonous relationship dialogue stranger and funnier. Jesse and Jade must recover their trust in each other once the truth comes out.

A change of heart at the grave

At the cemetery Chucky obtains the amulet and prepares to use Jesse and Jade as new bodies. Tiffany, moved by the young couple, turns on Chucky and stabs him. He attacks her in return; Jade shoots Chucky and escapes with Jesse. Tiffany’s final choice matters even though she has also taken part in the killings.

One more scream

As Detective Preston examines Tiffany’s doll body, she briefly comes back to life and gives birth to a baby doll that attacks him. The film cuts off at that shock. Tiffany gives this entry much of its personality: she has desires and jokes of her own, and ultimately changes the course of the story.
