The remaining three and Calliope walked back to Fat Man Slim's, Joey still pulling Richard by his arms. The youngest held his hands to his ears, but they weren't able to block much of Manny's torturous screams and cries. Ro paced the the room as the doors opened and revealed Mat solemnly walking in, and Joey pulling a teary-eyed Richard with his hands over his ears.

Richard: It's been heartbreaking with every death, but this one especially. I told him to say sorry to Nikita for me because I'm pretty sure she'd be pissed seeing him wherever they are.

Mat grabbed the amulet and walked over to Maria as Richard fell into Ro's embrace and cried.

MatPat: I place the amulet on her forehead and she turns young again.

Ro placed Richard down on a seat to see he fell asleep again as Maria touched her face and smiled. "I have my life back! Thank you, everyone!" she walked over and hugged the three awake guests and hugged Richard before walking out of Fat Man Slim's.

Joey: Maria is so cute, and I'm just so happy that her and her brother are reunited.

"Sam!" she yelled out before jumping into her brother's embrace and crying into his shoulder. "Oh, my God, they're reunited!" Joey cried out in happiness, Mat and Ro hugged each other and smiled. "I thought I would never see you again!"

Joey (cont.): That reminded us why we're all here. We're here to help the town.

Ro goes out and tells them to stay for a bit longer as Mat places the amulet on the paper, cleansing the wicker man. The witches cleaned their knives on Manny's jacket as they each faded into the air. Ro ran inside, "Has it been cleansed?" she asked, Joey and Mat nodded their heads. She grabbed the wedding ring and gave it back to Sam, who placed it back on and ran out of the town with Maria.

The three fawned over how cute it was before Mat realized something, "Two blood siblings got reunited at the cost of the last soul sibling." Joey and Ro both turned to him in confusion when Richard mumbled something in his sleep. "Nikita... Manny... I'm sorry." The two turned to Mat and he and Joey both grabbed Richard by his arms and legs and carried him to the lounge, Ro taking the lead with the artifact in hand.

Rosanna: You know what? We're magical.

Joey and Mat placed Richard on the couch as Ro placed the wicker man in a cubbie. "Guys, we only have one more artifact left. We're gonna get out of Everlock." Joey smiled. "Well, three of us are." Mat deadpanned and Ro hit him in the back of the head.
