Malachi Dodd states, "It's time," as he peers at a nearby crow in the opening scene of Episode 8. Dodd and his followers are prepared for the ritual. Abigail, Mae's mother, informs Mae that as long as she is willing, their people will be preserved and that she has always thought she would return. Detective Lopez receives a voicemail from Suzanne stating her plans to assist Mae as Suzanne is en route to save Mae.

Suzanne is currently outside the church where the cult is located. Mae puts on her bridal gown and the feathered crow bonnet as the ceremony for her starts in the meantime. Speaking to the assembly, Malachi Dodd discusses Lucifer and suffering. When Suzanne fights off the sheriff when he finds her, a fire is started.

Abigail and Mae are discovered by Suzanne on a wooden platform. Abigail tells Suzanne to leave. Suzanne experiences childhood memories as she ascends to the stage.

Mae informs Abigail that she must make a choice since she does not want to pass away. She invites her mum to come along. Mae leaps off the wooden platform as it catches fire. When Suzanne dives to the ground, Noah grabs her. Noah is thrown to the ground by Mea when she takes a shovel. Mae begs her mother to leave the burning platform, but she resolves to die there rather than leave it as a sacrifice to Lucifer.

Detective Lopez calls Suzanne and claims the cult is no longer there, but it wasn't the cult that dropped off the white roses that set Mae off at the Harvest Dance. Video evidence demonstrates that Mae drove to the cult willingly and brought the white roses herself. She organized everything.
