"Meg! Meg, what's wrong?" said Charles Wallace.

"Are you alright?" said Sam.

Calvin looked over his shoulder and found Meg laying on the floor unconscious.

"Meg! Meg, what's the matter? What's happening?" he said.

"Grandmama made her drink something before you got here" said Wednesday.

"Oh no! It might have been poison" said Sam.

"Lurch... she can't be dead" said Charles Wallace.

Lurch knelt down and felt Meg's chest. He felt no heartbeat.

The least he could do to break it to the kids was groan his usual Lurch groan. 

"Oh no! Meg!" said Charles Wallace.

Suddenly, this light appeared. It moved toward Meg's lifeless body and disappeared on her chest.

Meg's body rose up and looked down at Gomez.

"Morticia, is that you, mon cher?" said Gomez.

"Yes, mi amoure" said Morticia's voice.

"Mrs Addams" said Lurch.

"That's Morticia's spirit" said Uncle Fester.

"Mother!" said Wednesday and Pugsley together.

"The truth had to be known for me to return. They saved me" said Morticia.

"Hey. It was nothing" said Calvin.

"Oh, Morticia. I've waited so long for this day" said Gomez.

"And now it has come" said Morticia.

The reunited couple kissed, but it looked like Gomez was kissing Meg.

Charles Wallace, Calvin and Sam looked at Uncle Fester funny.

"He's not really kissing your buddy" Uncle Fester laughed.

"Uh... Mr Addams? That's my sister" said Charles Wallace.

Morticia's spirit was release from Meg and revived. Mrs Addams was alive again and so was Meg.

"Guys?" said Meg.

"Meg, it's us" said Sam.

"I thought I'd lost you guys" said Meg.

"We're back, Meg. We're back" said Calvin.

"We're all back" said Charles Wallace.

"Can you ever forgive me?" said Gomez.

"What's to forgive? You loved her" said Calvin.

"Children... we'll forever be in your debt. You can consider the Addams family your lifelong allies" said Morticia.

"Meg... thank you for wanting to save my family. Even though it was the wrong way" said Gomez.

"You're welcome. I enjoyed my time with you before all this anyway, Mr Addams" said Meg.

"I'm gonna miss you, Mr Calvin" said Pugsley.

"I'm gonna miss you too, Pugsley. And you, Wednesday" said Calvin.

"I wanna go with you" said Wednesday.

"No, honey, your family needs you. Like our people need us" said Calvin.

He kissed Wednesday's cheek and said "goodbye".

"Goodbye, Calvin" said Wednesday shyly.

"Hey, Uncle Fester. We couldn't have done this without you and your amazing gadgets" said Charles Wallace.

"You did most of the work, little man. See ya round, buddy" said Uncle Fester.

"Bye" said Charles Wallace.

"Lurch... I'm gonna miss everything about you. Even your groaning" said Sam.

"I'll miss you, Sam. You're a bright girl" said Lurch.

"Well, that's the nicest thing I've heard all night" said Sam.

Lurch groaned then let Sam fly up and give him a hug.

"Goodbye, children" said Gomez.

"Thank you for saving me" said Morticia.

"Goodbye" said the kids. 

Then they left for the lake.

Some time later...

"Are we there yet?" said Charles Wallace.

"I'm getting pretty hungry" said Sam.

"Can we get some pizza?" said Charles Wallace.

"How long before we get there, Meg?" said Calvin.

"Twenty minutes tops" Meg answered.

"Nothing takes twenty minutes" said Calvin.
