As Michael prepares to execute Maria, she is saved by Viv, Edwina, and the other witches. Spurred by their desire to protect Maria, Michael uses his powers to ask persons who have met Maria for their opinions. After passing judgement and sparing Maria, Michael prepared to judge Ezekiel for siding with Maria. It is decided that she will be reborn as a human with Maria as her mother. Joseph leaves the service of his lord, and takes Maria (presumably pregnant with Ezekiel) as his wife, who says her goodbyes to Cernunnos as they live together in Ann's village.
