She comes up with a plan to hopefully destroy him once and for all after the death of her boyfriend (Johnny Depp) (Note his death is by far the best death in the entire series). She tricks Freddy into coming into the real world, where she leads him into a variety of booby traps, but leaves him (he happens to be on fire) inorder to get her father to arrest him. Freddy sneaks upstairs to where Nancy's mom is sleeping, where he lays on her, burning her, before he drags her down to hell. The remaining Thompsons believe Freddy is dead, and her father goes back downstairs. Freddy returns, but Nancy defeats him by turning her back on him, draining him of his power. The next day Nancy and all her friends that had died pile into a car while her mom waves them off. The car is then captured by Freddy, as they drive off Freddy pulls Nancy's mother through the window on the door on their front porch.
