While she is gone, Andy escapes the classroom through a window when Chucky starts calling out from the closet.

Glen Tilly/Ray

Glen (voiced by Billy Boyd and in human form portrayed by Beans Balawi in the film, Lachlan Watson in the series) - Chucky and Tiffany's original child and Glenda's twin. They were an orphan for the first six years of their life until they saw their parents on television. Glen is a good person and doesn't like violence and does not like murder, unlike their parents. Though Tiffany promised them that they will refrain from killing, Chucky tries to get Glen involved in the family business. They fear but still love their dad due to the fact they killed him in a misunderstanding. They are the only living doll character not to be voiced by an Academy Award nominee. Glen appears in Bride of Chucky (at the end as an infant) and Seed of Chucky. They do not appear in Curse of Chucky, nor is there any direct mention of them, although they were indirectly mentioned when Chucky was mentioning the families that "Come and Gone". They were mentioned in the Chucky series where Chucky talks to Jake about them being genderfluid. Jake questions if he's okay with it to which Chucky replies "I'm not a monster". Glen returns in the second season, along with their twin Glenda, with both characters portrayed by Lachlan Watson. Glen is portrayed as a long-haired non-binary individual, sharing a boyfriend with their short-haired twin sibling, both of whom have forgotten that they were a doll and knew that Chucky was their father, bar occasional nightmares. Unaware of their mother's true identity as Tiffany, believing her to be Jennifer Tilly, their legal name is revealed to be Glen Tilly. After Nica Pierce accidentally shoots Glen after trying to kill Tiffany, they are taken to the hospital where they are not expected to make it. To save their life, Tiffany transfers both theirs and Glenda's souls back into their doll body. They then decide to rename themselves "G.G." and go traveling to England to discover their roots. Since Voodoo/Vodun derives from African religious practices, Glen's/Glenda's/G.G.'s 'fraternal twin' status may also stem from beliefs and superstitions about fraternal twins, depending upon the region.

Glenda Tilly/Ray

Glenda (voiced by Billy Boyd and in human form played by Kristina Hewitt in the film, Lachlan Watson in the series) - Chucky and Tiffany's second child and the twin of Glen. They were originally Glen's alter ego for a brief time before they were reborn as a human. Unlike Glen, they are violent, sadistic, and cruel. They are even more ruthless than their father, implying they will possibly take on the family business. They first appear in Seed of Chucky. In the Chucky TV series, Tiffany mentions that the suitcase bomb she uses to blow up Charles Lee Ray's childhood home was a gift from Glenda and says "They have an exquisite taste". Glenda officially returns in the second season, along with their twin Glen, with both characters portrayed by Lachlan Watson. Glenda is portrayed as a short-haired non-binary individual, sharing a boyfriend with their long-haired twin sibling, both of whom have forgotten that they were a doll and knew that Chucky was their father, bar occasional nightmares. Unlike what was implied about them before, Glenda is shown to be a goodhearted person in spite of their violent tendencies, which is instead shown to be out of desperation rather than true malice. Unaware of their mother's true identity as Tiffany, believing her to be Jennifer Tilly, their legal name is revealed to be Glenda Tilly. After Glen is accidentally shot by Nica Pierce who was trying to kill Tiffany, Glenda has their mother transfer both theirs and Glen's souls back into their doll body. Renaming themselves "G.G.", they decide to travel to England to discover their roots.

They became highly sought-after collectibles with vintage Good Guy dolls going from anywhere between $500 and $1500, with an increased price for ones that happened to also be named "Chucky".
