Part 9/10:
In a heart-stopping sequence, Joanna confronts the Reverend one last time, using her cunning and desperate determination to free herself and her daughter from his grasp. Setting fire to her father symbolizes Joanna's triumph over a dark lineage, but it also raises questions about the cost of survival and freedom.
As months go by, Joanna seeks solace in a new life, but an encounter with Nathan—who has risen to power as the sheriff—reminds her of her failings in the eyes of the law. Joanna’s past catches up with her, and she is forced to sacrifice herself once again for Sam's future, culminating in a sense of poignant loss and unyielding hope.
