Panel A
Handsome bolts. Leaping over the debris and the broken bodies of the demons on the floor he makes for the door and out into the hall. Alice, Boogy, and Tommy watch him flee, too startled to move.
Panel B
Baba Yaga snips the thread that now secures Samhain's mouth once more. She is still smiling as she holds the silver needle in her hand, a bit of thread dangling from its eye. Samhain reaches one hand up to caress her face as he returns her smile.
SAMHAIN: "You know what to do."
Panel C
Samhain stands to face Alice, Boogy, and Tommy as Baba Yaga scuttles off after Handsome. Her mad cackling laughter fills the air.
BABA YAGA: "WEEEHEEHEE-HAA-HAA!"
Panel D
Samhain watches as Alice rushes to Tommy, scoops him up in a big hug. She seems more sad than happy. Boogy sits on the floor, a wan smile on his face. He seems tired, relieved, and a little sad.
ALICE: "Oh Tommy. Tommy I'm so sorry."
Panel E
The three friends turn to face Samhain as he approaches them. He seems to have regained his poise.
SAMHAIN: "This is the boy. Tommy."
ALICE: "Yes..."
SAMHAIN: "Whom you have chosen to love, despite your true nature."
ALICE: "...Yes."
