Corakinus comes out of his palace to duel April, just as April's mother Jackie uses the part of the power that April gave her to open a portal to the Underneath. Huw, April's father, and Varun, Ram's father, go through to witness April fighting Corakinus. She manages to defeat him in a sword-fight, but the other three manage to persuade her not to kill him. By vanquishing him, however, she has become the new King of the Shadowkin.

April, Ram, and their fathers, return to Earth through the portal. Just as Charlie is about to activate the souls from the Cabinet, April realises that as King, she can order the Shadowkin to destroy the petals, which she does. Corakinus, confined in a dungeon, rips the linking device out of his chest, reducing the connection between him and April to its original state and removing her powers. April tells her father never to contact them again unless they contact him first.

In the Underneath, April is still determined to hunt down and kill Corakinus. Ram tags along, trying to persuade her to think about if there are any possibilities other then a frontal assault.

Back on Earth, Dorothea tries to persuade Quill to get Charlie to use the souls in the Cabinet to destroy the petals, which have now built up to the point of killing people. When Charlie, Dorothea, Quill, and Matteusz are in Charlie's room with the Cabinet, however, Quill tries to persuade Charlie to use it to destroy the Shadowkin in revenge, even though it will mean their deaths along with everyone on Earth thanks to the petals. Dorothea tries to force Charlie to destroy the petals by holding Matteusz at gunpoint, while Matteusz tries to persuade Charlie not to kill anyone.

Corakinus comes out of his palace to duel April, just as April's mother Jackie uses the part of the power that April gave her to open a portal to the Underneath. Huw, April's father, and Varun, Ram's father, go through to witness April fighting Corakinus. She manages to defeat him in a sword-fight, but the other three manage to persuade her not to kill him. By vanquishing him, however, she has become the new King of the Shadowkin.

April, Ram, and their fathers, return to Earth through the portal. Just as Charlie is about to activate the souls from the Cabinet, April realises that as King, she can order the Shadowkin to destroy the petals, which she does. Corakinus, confined in a dungeon, rips the linking device out of his chest, reducing the connection between him and April to its original state and removing her powers. April tells her father never to contact them again unless they contact him first.

The next day, at the school, Dorothea tells Quill that she is still willing to remove Quill's parasite if she wants it. Meanwhile, April discovers, to her happiness, that her mother is still healed despite the power loss.
