defends her son's actions, to the horror of the rest of the characters, who fear the
Giant will kill them all before she is done. The Steward delivers what turns out to be a mortal blow to her head, and Jack's Mother dies, but not until
she demands that the Baker and his Wife save Jack.

After finding Jack, the Witch brings him to the small remaining group, where he reveals the death of the Baker's wife. The Baker, stunned by this unexpected loss, decides that it is best if he leaves the group; he give his child to Cinderella.

Group: "It's your fault!"
Witch: "Shhhhh!! It's the last midnight! It's the last curse!" The Witch is blamed for all that has happened. She refutes the

we can assume, certain death by putting herself in the way of
a curse designed by her own mother.
