Cassandra’s world begins to fall apart. Pieces of rides crash into the earth as the sky opens in various colors. The slaves of the park begin to flee. Quinn is among them. Blake goes to him but doesn’t see Cassandra approaching. She presses her fingernails into Blake’s chest. She begins to meld with him, trying to bury her soul in his body so she can survive the park. Blake musters up the strength to shove Cassandra away. She falls to the ground. A falling house that Blake recognizes from The Wizard of Oz, a movie he watches with his family, crushes her. Quinn vanishes as morning light spills over Blake.

Blake closes his eyes against the light and suddenly finds himself in the driver’s seat of his car. The car is totaled, smashed against the tree he avoided while driving to the park. As paramedics try to free Blake from the car, he wonders if his experience in the park was real. When he’s free from the car, Blake goes to Maggie, who waits nearby. They both remember the carnival; it was real. He holds her hands and tells her that he has decided to go to New York.
