Magda manages to banish Sandor's spirit, who wants to "help" her by transporting her to the realm of the dead, but she is then cornered by King Johnny and Istvan. Barnabas arrives at the last moment to intervene, demanding that she be set free. He tells King Johnny that Count Petofi has been reunited with his Hand. King Johnny is told about the spell Petofi placed Magda under, and forgives her, vowing that Petofi shall never again curse one of his gypsies. King Johnny agrees to cure Quentin in exchange for Barnabas revealing Petofi's location.
