Jack and Rapunzel jumped out of the book. "Yes!" the baker and his wife shouted. "We have the last thing!"
The baker took out his spear. "Do you mind miss?" he asked Rapunzel before cutting off a lock of her hair. But the golden hair suddenly turned dark brown. Everyone gasped.
The baker stared open-mouthed at the brown hair in his hand, shocked. Gothel suddenly ran up to them out of nowhere. Rapunzel took a step back, clearly not pleased.
Gothel frantically looked around. "It's 2:55. Have you got all of the objects?" But she stopped and carefully inspected the cow. "Wrong cow," she said looking at the flour on the cow.
"We had one," the baker's wife looked down. "But she's dead."
"Oh, I can just bring her back to life! Where is she?"
Hopeful, the baker's wife quickly led her over to a small patch in the ground. Gothel pulled out a gooey flower and spread the goo on the cow's skin. Milky White suddenly woke up and gave a long, moooooo. But suddenly a huge tornado appeared in front of them, revealing... Gothel's sister.
"I thought you all were up to something," she placed her hand on her hip. "Gothel! How could you betray me?! You have shown to me that we are not sisters! IT'S OVER FOR YOU!" She released her powers towards Gothel, who protected herself with another special flower for a shield.
Jack quickly turned the page of the magic book to see Char and the villagers in the ballroom of his castle. Ella suddenly realized something and ran through the page. "Oh come on!" Little Red threw her hands up, seeing Ella disappear.
She jumped out of a wall right in front of Char. "Ella?" he stammered, astonished.
"Hey, sorry about this," she apologized before she pulled out Char's pocket knife from his belt, and cut off a thread of the golden hem on his coat.
"Now come!" she grabbed his arm, running back towards the wall. Char screamed like a little girl as he ran through the wall and out of the book.
"Here," Ella pushed the golden thread into the baker's hand. "This'll work."
"Feed the objects to the cow!" Gothel yelled to them as she continued the battle.
The baker looked rather disturbed hearing this.
"Well, okay. Let's try it," the baker said.
He tore off a piece of Little Red's cape, feeding it to the cow.
Next, he cautiously held Ella's slipper in front of Milky White, who immediately ate it... chewing on the glass shards. Wow.
Lastly, the baker fed Char's thread to him, treating it like a noodle.
"Now milk the cow!" Gothel shouted in the background. Jack immediately ran up to Milky White with a goblet.
"Where did you get that?!" Little Red asked.
"Duh," Jack smirked. "The giant." He began to milk Milky White who suddenly produced pale white milk.
Jack then quickly handed the goblet over to Gothel, who took a quick sip, just as her sister struck her hard in the chest. Gothel suddenly glowed as she swallowed. The baker's wife's belly suddenly expanded. She felt a sharp pain, and then her belly flattened back to normal. A healthy baby appeared in her arms. The curse was restored. The couple got their baby. The good witch got her magic. As Gothel fell to the ground, she struck her sister with her brand new magical powers.
Both witches collapsed to the ground. The sister immediately died the moment she hit the ground. But Gothel just laid there, struggling to breathe. Rapunzel ran up to her and sat next to her.
"Rapunzel," Gothel whispered. "All these years I hid you from her. My sister. Because I love you."
Her body grew very still, and the life left her eyes. Rapunzel lowered her head. "I, I'm sorry," she whimpered. "I'm so sorry."
Flurries of snow silently began to fall. DING! DING! DING! Everyone looked up to the moonlight at the clock tower.
Three o'clock.
