Mel is inside the creature that is the gateway to Hell. As she begins to pass through the creature, she starts to hack away at its core, heading towards the brain. Outside the creature, Erin is informed that the police are nuking the area: the whole warren is about to become a giant fireball. Erin looks at Harth and exclaims that she’s had enough.

Harth lunges for her and they plunge through the air. Harth taunts her about her sibling’s respective deaths and she’s left motionless on the ground. Suddenly, the creature roars in pain and Mel comes through its eye, ripping it to shreds as she goes.

The demon collapses on top of Versi, and Mel crawls to her sister’s side. Harth calls her to him and claims that she may have saved Haddyn and the world, but she’ll never guess what’s coming next. He kisses her and then escapes into the shadows.

The police halt their nukes because of the creature’s death and Erin is carted away, severely injured. Urkonn tells her that she’s saved the world and that for now, it’s all over. Mel tells him that it’s not, and glances at Loo’s parents.

At Gunther’s place, he apologises profusely for turning Mel in, but Mel tells him that that’s not why she’s there. She says that it’s all about Loo. Gunther hasn’t got a clue about her and claims that he didn’t kill her or have her killed, and Mel claims that she knows. She turns to Urkonn and tells him that he killed Loo. “Vampires can’t come in unless you ask ‘em. I sure as Hell never did. And they didn’t feed.”

Urkonn exclaims that he did it to push her into fighting. Mel confirms that and then points out that he never helped her when she was near water: he can’t swim. With that, she plunges her scythe into Gunther’s tank and they fall in. As they fall through into one of Gunther’s compartments, they smash the other side of the tank and before Urkonn can get up, Mel spears him in the head with her scythe. She picks Gunther up and places him back into his water.

Somewhere, the spirits talk between themselves and wonder what the future holds: the city will be rebuilt, Mel will rekindle her relationship with Erin and return to her old life – but she also has a new life…

She is the Slayer.
