Facing Darkness is Kinda My Thing

Hope awakens in Josie's subconscious and finds a pig who reveals Josie put a sleeping spell on herself to protect the kingdom. MG and Lizzie, disguised as Hope, prepare for Lizzie's "funeral", but she soon realizes that no one is upset that she is dead. Hope and the pig run into a cabin after being chased by Josie's darkness, manifesting as a wolf-like creature. Dark Josie tells the Necromancer the Merge did not work and the funeral is an act. The wolf arrives in the cabin, eating the pig before being killed by Hope. Josie appears, revealing she was the pig. Dark Josie arrives, realizing Hope is in her subconscious. The Necromancer makes a deal with Alaric: he will take the dark magic from Josie and will resurrect the students, including Rafael and Landon. MG gives a eulogy about how no one let Lizzie change. Hope convinces Josie she can only beat the dark magic if she believes in herself. Realizing she can be powerful and good, Josie "kills" Dark Josie, and the darkness is transferred to the Necromancer. Lizzie thanks MG. Rafael and Alaric discover that, for an unknown reason, Landon and Hope will not wake up.
