At the MacKenzie house a short time later, Zilla shakes Agnes awake: Becka is there. And once she takes off her cloak, Agnes can see that her friend is covered in blood. “He can’t hurt you anymore,” Becka says, clearly not tethered strongly to reality as she calls what she did “divine justice.” Agnes starts crying but is gentle with Becka, telling her that they’re going to get her cleaned up. Zilla runs a bath in Agnes’ bathroom, and Agnes helps her friend wash away the evidence of her crime.
“I did God’s work,” Becka says, broken. “I know,” Agnes replies. “And for you,” Becka adds, which is maybe the saddest line in the whole episode. “I know,” Agnes replies, equally gutted. Becka asks Agnes to run away with her, “just you and me,” and Agnes knows there is zero chance that is possible, but she says OK. “Agnes,” Becka says, just in case there were ANY doubt after the evening’s proceedings, “I would do anything for you.”
When the girls come downstairs, Commander MacKenzie and Paula are standing there. Garth shows up soon after, saying that he’s going to bring her to a doctor. Becka seems very uneasy, but she goes with her fiancé, looking sideways at Agnes as she leaves.
However, Commander MacKenzie didn’t call a doctor — he called the Eyes, who show up in force, hooded and masked, and haul Becka away to God knows where. Agnes, who was under the impression that her father actually was going to get Becka medical help, is destroyed.
