art 3, Chapter 39 Summary: “The Pattern: Reid”

Reid goes to clutch his dying mother. Morgane holds a knife to his throat, but he overcomes her. She ties him with invisible bonds as Lou cries for her to stop. Morgane magically brings the now undisguised Ansel and Beau to the stage, calling them Hélène’s coconspirators. She then slams Lou onto the altar as Reid tries desperately to escape. Lou whispers to Reid that she loves him. Morgane raises the knife, but suddenly Coco leaps forward and stabs Morgane. This breaks Reid’s bonds, and he runs to Lou. Chaos erupts.

In an attempt to distract the audience, Beau strips his clothes off and dances while singing the pub song “Big Titty Liddy.” The witches are momentarily bewildered, allowing Reid to get close enough to kill Morgane. However, he’s stopped as Manon brings the Archbishop in. Manon tells Reid to let Morgane go or she’ll kill the Archbishop. As Reid hesitates, Morgane grabs his knife and slashes Lou’s throat. The sight plunges Reid into a world of darkness. There, he sees a golden cord between Lou and the Archbishop. He knows what to do and kills the Archbishop before anyone can stop him.
