Author's POV:

Case about Penelope's death strangely was unknown to anyone - nobody knew it happened. Although Blossoms were one of the richest families in Riverdale - everybody hated them and never even tried to check up on them.

Nobody knew that Cheryl was at Sisters of Quiet Mercy, not talking about Toni, who was a gang member, so that's pretty obvious that nobody knew she was at the Farm in the line to get all her organs cut out. Even principle, who was worried about Cheryl's attendance in school, seemed to absolutely forget about her existence. It was like a dark magic, making the Blossoms' name vanished outta everybody's minds, outta any documents, papers, electronic devices - outta everywhere.

Although the stranger who bought Thislehouse made it burn right after the police left, it was a very heavy rain then, which neutralized the fire.

Thislehouse was far away from all the other houses, so nobody even felt the smell of burning house or seen how damaged it was.

The Blossoms became ghosts. Actually, it wasn't the Blossoms anymore. Because only Cheryl left from the Blossoms' family.

It seemed that only a miracle could solve that twisted story.

And the miracle happened.

Although nobody cared about Cheryl, there were several people caring about Toni - the Southside Serpents.

Surprisingly, but the fact of very strange relationships between the gang and pink-haired girl didn't stop the Serpents. They had a code and were considered a family standing for it's members.

So, the gang was looking for Topaz for days until they found out about the Farm and what was it actually made for. Finally, they found Toni. The Serpents were fighting and cutting throats of "farmers-curators" while transferring Toni into a save place. But when they were trying to wake her up afterwards -  there was no visible signs that Toni is still alive.

The gang members were scared and brought Topaz to the hospital. Luckily, Toni had a pulse, so nurses said that she better stay at the hospital until she feels better. But, as we know, Topaz couldn't get better until her red-haired girlfriend does what Abigail asked her to do.

Cheryl couldn't sleep at night. No matter what pills she had been given at the Sisters of Quiet Mercy, it couldn't ease the pain. Blosspm couldn't and musn't forget about Abigail's wish and its connection with Toni. Abigail knew how to manipulate Cheryl - Abigail's beloved - Thomasina Topaz - was her greatest treasure and the most important person in her life. So was Toni for Cheryl.

Cheryl decided that she spent enough time uselessly and that it is time for action. It was either all or nothing. Redhead started to find ways to skip drinking pills and not take Sisters' therapy seriously. She also tried to be polite and do twice more work that she had been given. But Penelope explained clearly enough to the Sisters to not to let Cheryl out no matter what. Time was ticking, so one night Cheryl decided escape the Sisters. She had a plan and she sucseeded. Cheryl knew that the hospital was closed at night and that Abigail took away her magic powers, so it was pointless to go there now.

Thus, Blossom ran to Thislehouse, but it was too damaged to stay in it. So she went to Toni's house. It was surprizingly opened and there was nobody there. At least Cheryl thought so. No matter if somebody was in the house, she came in quietly and slept on the floor till morning. Next morning she came to school to make Abigail's wish come true. She was looking for a moment to bring her classmates' attention, but the moment didn't happen. Luckily, on one of the breaks, Cheryl heard Archie mentioning about throwing a big party at his house this evening.

So, in the evening, Cheryl came to that party and asked for attention. Then she asked some of her classmates to apologize for their ancestors and what they did to Thomasina. Again, surprisingly, they agreed like they were hypnotized by Cheryl's words.

Toni woke up at the hospital right at the second the last classmate Abigail needed to apologize did it.

Abigail returned magic powers back to Cheryl.

Cheryl knew where Toni was - she saw it in her nightmares. She ran there and found Toni.

Dialogue:

Cheryl: Toni, sweetheart, are you alright?

Toni: Yes, honey, but why am I here?

Cheryl: It's a long story, darling, and I'm so glad you're alright. *smiles* I just wanna let you know that I love you.

Toni: I love you too, Cher, you're my family.
