Luna stands at the foot of the attic stairs in the Beech Street house, holding a photograph that holds the promise. She chooses to keep it and ascends to face the shadow child. In the attic, the lamp burns unlit, and roots crawl through the walls. The shadow child speaks: the promise was made to keep the roots from rising, but in this version of Sycamore Ridge the lamp was never lit. Luna learns that Esther is still alive, buried in the sycamore roots, and the only way to break the cycle is to find her and free her—by burning the photograph. As the roots recoil and Esther dissolves into light, Luna wakes in her own bed, the lamp on her dresser. This episode peels back the final layer of the bargain, and a new question forms: what happens when the promise is broken but the lamp remains?
