We find Dr. Craven visiting Colin, only to find the boy in a state of serenity and excitement, thanks to the magic of the secret garden. Colin, who once despised the fresh air, has now formed a new alliance with the rejuvenating force and seems to be growing stronger by the day.

As Mary breathes energy into the room and fills it with the comforting scents and sounds of the coming of spring, Colin's curiosity takes flight, and he can hardly wait to explore nature's offerings with his newfound friend, Dickon. The doctor's visit leaves Dr. Craven pondering the wonders he has witnessed, thinking perhaps there may be some truth in the wise words of Susan Sowerby after all.
