[Replay the last few minutes of last episode, with Helena threatening to move out followed by end music, which shuts off with a “pause” noise. Followed by the longest, most pregnant pause in the series yet.]

TITANIA

Don’t.

OBERON

TITANIA

Don’t.

PUCK

TITANIA

Oberon, I swear --

TITANIA

OBERON

TITANIA

PUCK
