Epilogue

Jonathan Crane was finally dead. His funeral was a time for rejoicing throughout Gotham.

Bruce was pleased to learn that Amy Crane was alive as well as Lisa Crane. He had been rather shocked when the 'dead' Jackson Rippner wandered into Wayne Manor with an unconscious Amy and a shaking Lisa. Jackson had retold the events of the day and concluded with Jonathan's death. Lisa had received the antidote and Amy remained in a recuperative sleep for another day.

Jim Gordon and Rachel Dawes were able to nail the now deceased psychiatrist for his many crimes due to testimony from Jackson, Lisa, and Amy Rippner.

As Gordon dug into the late Dr. Crane's affairs, he discovered that Lisa and Jonathan had never been married. Jonathan had falsified documents that said they were, but for the past sixteen years, Lisa Crane had in fact been none other than Lisa Rippner. She was still married to Jackson.

Amy and Lisa slowly recovered from their traumas with the help of intensive therapy and Jackson's never-ending support. The Rippners moved back to Miami and into a new house a few doors down from Joe's. There were far too many memories in their old house for them to move back.

Betsey Gruber came forward with all of her knowledge about Jonathan's actives and also apologized to the Rippners for her part in the entire plot. She also mentioned the on-going affair between her and Jonathan.

Lisa forgave her, but Amy refused. The scarred teenager had withdrawn more as time went on. The only person that she shared everything with was her father, who she had grown closer to with each passing day. Jackson had in turn become extremely possessive of his daughter and protective of Lisa.

Tragedy had torn them apart and now it had brought them back together and they were working at rebuilding their shattered lives. Each day that dawned was brighter and a step farther away from the past.
