Maria thinks that sounds like a good idea.

She then hears music, and goes into the kitchen to find the radio on.

Daphne sends Shane to check upstairs, and she checks that the back doors and windows are still locked. Shane returns and tells her that everything's fine upstairs, and suggests that maybe she just made a mistake, and she did leave the radio and lights on.
