 |ShortSummary = Ozalnon unleashes himself and does battle with the group on the roof of the hospital. Kytsen tries to defend the group, Rozz tries to use ranged attacks, and Cerassina attempts to use explosives to get her way. The Anti-Ozalnon Front arrives, and most are soon massacred by Ozalnon as neither they nor Cerassina have formal training. After none of their tactics seem to work, Æthelclaw makes the decision to take the last stand, thanking the group for their hospitality before striking Ozalnon in the heart, killing both of them and destroying much of the hospital in the blast. Kytsen, Rozz, Cerassina, and Maivine set about rebuilding the destroyed part of the hospital with community help, while Silke slinks back into the shadows. Two months later, Kytsen is tending to a shrine dedicated to Æthelclaw when he accidentally knocks over a bookshelf, injuring Cerassina and uncovering a secret passageway. <hr> ''Musical numbers:'' "Stay Back", "Requiem", "The Show Goes On"
