Balthus lies in his bed. Iris enters and whispers, "Norman." She closes the door, pulls a chair next to the bed, and sits down. Iris quietly says, "I was proud of what you did today." She praises Balthus's courage and explains, "Only you and I know his true nature. Our knowledge is his weakness." She says that they'll have to keep it a secret, and adds that she's done her part to make sure nobody else knows. More firmly, she says, "We will choose our time, Norman. Then we will expose him." She says it'll be their secret until then. Iris leans over and rests her head on Balthus's belly as she hums a song.
Libby sits in the closed-up car, her head leaning on the steering wheel. Then she looks out the window and boggles. She steps out of the car and walks out toward Ben and Jonesy, who are approaching the highway. Libby runs over, and Jonesy sweeps her into a hug. Libby looks at Jonesy's unburned body, and then she and Jonesy turn to look at Ben, who's carrying Jonesy's leg brace.
Sofie stands in the living room, staring at Brother Justin, who's reading. Justin turns as Sofie quietly asks, "How could you forgive him?" Justin says that Balthus was like a father to him. Sofie says that makes the betrayal worse. Justin says, "That is why forgiveness is even more important." Sofie says that Justin's a great man, but he modestly says that he's just a man. Justin tells Sofie, "It is grace that makes us great." He walks over to Sofie and asks her to sit by him on the couch. She does. Justin tells her, "I want you to forgive everyone. Anyone that's ever harmed you in the past." Sofie says that she can't. Justin insists, and offers to help. He kneels on the floor, and pulls Sofie down to kneel in front of him. He clasps her hands inside hers as he says, "Let us pray." Sofie closes her eyes and lowers her head against their hands.
Next time: I think Jonesy got a new, clean shirt! Justin gets ready to kill someone, and Iris and Balthus conspire. I think it's hilarious that the season finale airs on Easter.
