- A mysterious man appears at their door and comes inside to inform them that their son, Herbert, has died. They claim no responsibility, but awarded the household with 200$. This is the moment that Mr. White realized the damage that his wish had done.
- Resolution
- NOOOOOOOOO
- After Herbert dies, they are stricken with grief and can't stop thinking about it after they had to bury their only son. Right after they were forced to reconcile, Mrs. White had an idea. Bring back Herbert with their second wish.
- I have an idea. We can bring back Herbert with your second wish!
- After Mrs. White makes Mr. White use his second wish to bring back Herbert, nothing happens for a while and they give up hope. Suddenly, they hear a knock at the door. It's Herbert!
- Don't open it!
- Mr white decides to use his last wish to make sure Herbert did not come back alive. He knew that due to what happened in the first place, the wish would make Herbert be alive but mangled. Mrs. White opens the door to find nobody there as she cries out in anguish to the empty street.
