19. Flower Child

Complete story — includes the ending

In a flashback, young tree nymph Gothel yearns for interaction with humans. Though warned against it by her nymph family, she explores a house and meets a group of ladies who appear accepting of her magic and invite her to a ball. It turns out that the girls only sought to humiliate her, stealing her key to enter the nymphs' grove and destroy everything and everyone in it. Avenging the death of her kind, Gothel goes on a destructive rampage and turned her home realm into what is later known as the Land Without Magic. In the present day, Gothel tells Tilly that she is her mother and Tilly goes to Rogers with this information. The two of them go to Henry, who has already begun to seriously consider that the stories in his book are real. Lucy and Facilier successfully cure Henry of his pre-curse ailments, but when Henry and Jacinda kiss, the curse doesn't break. Meanwhile, Rogers and Tilly's stakeout on Eloise ends with Tilly being blackmailed into becoming the final member of Gothel's revived coven. The sisterhood then releases their magic back into the land.
