Plot[]
Norman’s party has struck the final blow to the queen. Our kids finally know that Norman’s poison is meant to degrade the demons to cause mass confusion but apparently the poison is only happening in specific areas. Meanwhile, the queen has—at this point—been defeated by Norman’s allies and we get a quick glimpse at her reasons for wanting power. The queen has done all of this, crafting the ultimate kingdom, making the farms better and ruling over the land for one sole purpose…meat. This shallow venture has cost the lives of probably thousands of kids and it was all for the best meat. When Norman arrives, the queen—now a head with no eyes—senses his greatness and desires his body but is finally put to rest by one last fatal blow. Norman stands over his fallen enemy and we witness him imagining a child Emma—in his mind—pull at his cloak as if to stop him from doing anything further. Not a moment later, the real Emma bursts into the room thinking she can stop Norman’s plan but as we see…she’s too late. A room of corpses stands before Emma and Ray and Norman looks at them both with a shallow smile.
