Rosa flys back to the US, the women meet in a little cafe in LA. Rosa sits down, Lily is looking down at the floor, Jaclyn smiles and tells her to take a seat.
Lily lifts her head slowly, she says, "Rosa I'm sorry for what I was doing, I was acting on the orders of my ex."
Jaclyn looks at Lily and says, "mom, be truthful. This wasn't Samael's plan, it was yours, it's because you're fading from the world and the girls powers would've gave you a permanent foothold."
Lily starts crying, "what Jaclyn is saying is the truth, I hate lying to anyone, somehow since the girls were born that I am beginning to fade?"
Jaclyn looks at Rosa, "she's telling you the truth, the girls birth have made them the most powerful females on the planet, it's like mom is being pulled back into the underworld, I couldn't let her go, so I sought Samael's counsel, he said that taking their powers would give her a foothold."
Rosa angrily states, "they're just babies, Lily. We would've been a happy family if you had kept your word from the beginning, you wouldn't be fading, but you stopped being the feminist that made me join the society, you became covetous, you wanted it all, not caring about the damage you inflicted on the girls."
Lily says, "you're right, Rosa. I did and I promise that I'll change and I'll change the society, I'll find another way to regain my strength, I'll do anything as long as we can be a family again."
Rosa thinks for a moment about why Lily might be fading back to the underworld. Rosa comes to the conclusion that it's been the way she's been running the society.
Then Lily thinks for a moment and asks, "what do you mean, how the society is being run?"
Rosa says, "Lily I'll be frank, the initiation process is quite anti feminist, the sexual games, the women feeling forced to recruit as many women as possible, especially rich women. It's got to change Lily."
Lily thinks for a moment, "you're right, what you're saying in today's world would be anti feminist, the way the patriarchy treat women, I have been doing the same. I didn't see it until now."
Lily gets a rush in the pit of her stomach, she exclaims, I am beginning to feel like my old self again."
Lily doesn't feel like she's dying anymore. Rosa tells her that she needs to cut herself off from Azekial, he is the one that wants the foothold and he's using you. Lily replies, "that makes sense, that bastard hasn't changed. I've been used and the only person that's been truly honest with me is Samael."
Lily feels more alive. Lily summons Azekial. Azekial arrives, he says, "Lily, you can't believe these humans, I would never betray you. You've been the love of my life for millennia's, I just want to be on earth permanently with you."
Lily says some words that even Jaclyn doesn't understand, soon Samael is in the room, he casts Azekial out.
Samael tells Lily that, "Azekial won't be returning, do the work you were assigned, give human women the equality my father and his followers have denied them all these thousands of years."
Samael takes his leave, warning Lily that if she doesn't get the society back under control, that he'll make sure that she'll be pulled back too. Lily promises to get the society under control and Jaclyn and Rosa will help if she is willing?
Rosa says, "that's why i am here Lily, but don't underestimate me again, never undermine me again and never hurt my girls ever again?" Lily promises to turn the society around.
Lily, Rosa and Jaclyn go to the society's headquarters, they look through the files of every woman, from politicians to paupers. They look at each woman's history, they find out which of the women have more to offer than just their womanhood. Women that can be positions to control the populace of males, not in a bondage sense, but to make them understand that women are their equals.
Lily puts the two sets of triplets on a board, of course the babies are too young to grasp the concept, but the others will understand fully. Jannelle is in charge of directing the politics of the organisation, Joslin is put in charge of everyday women and Jaclyn is put in charge of changing the society's policies, from initiation to recruitment. The girls will slide into these roles years down the line. Joslin spends the next few days on the phone to every woman telling them that changes must happen, to all their surprise they're relieved, a lot had unanswered complaints regarding the process of initiation.
These complaints were taken onboard and Joslin promised she would resolve them, a task that was passed to Jaclyn, who said she would get to work on it today. Jaclyn sent out this memo to all recruits, "Dear societal women, the organisation has come to understand that we have enabled the patriarchy without realising how far it had spread, there won't be sexual favours in the initiation process, every woman will be compensated financially, the organisation will change for our future generations, there will be no more random recruiting, each female that's born to you, will have automatic membership into the society. We are sorry that you've felt used like men would use you. I'm not using this as an excuse, but things have been somewhat deranged around here for a time and we are sorry for any hurt caused. Yours faithfully, Jaclyn."
Rosa tells Lily that she won't fully trust her, until she sees all the changes in place, that her daughters are safe.
Lily weeps, she says, "Rosa, I am truly sorry for the pain I caused you, I didn't realise that the things I was doing was hurting the cause rather than helping it. It took for you a woman of great strength, a woman of honour and honesty to make me see the error of my ways. I am grateful you came into my life, I do have a confession to make though, since we are starting on a new journey. I knew that Jac was your relative and it was wrong that I pushed you into bed with your own blood. I knew you're all from an Aztec line and it was Azekial that encouraged me to do it. I didn't know it was all his plan to gain an earthly foothold. A foothold that even Samael wouldn't give him. Had I known, I honestly wouldn't have involved you or your family, he used my love of Samael to con me into achieving his ambitious goal. Thankfully I have a good faith in Samael."
Rosa has tears in her eyes, she finally sees the humanity in Lily again.
