Appolonia is restored to health from a shard of the Spear of Destiny. She thinks she has her revenge on Jackie, but it is really Sonatine impersonating Jackie. Then the Angelus and the real Jackie engage in a battle that ends with an explosion. When the smoke clears, Appolonia and the Angelus are gone, but Sonatine appears to be dead. But Sonatine has exchanged bodies with Wengler just before his body died, so it is really Wengler that is dead and Sonatine is impersonating Wengler.
