In the afterlife a grieving woman begs the Judge to avenge her, offering her body; she cries, "I agree!" and the Judge vows to return to the mortal realm. Cut to a bridal sedan before Lord Morvran: servants present a wedding coffin instead of brides, claiming Ms. Wendy Yale 'died of joy' and asking Morvran to decide the two young ladies' fate. Outraged, Morvran demands answers. The Judge returns to the mortal plane and orders the coffin checked, leaving its contents and the coming confrontation unresolved.
