Epilogue:

Fifteen Years Later

Megan, Toby, Johanna, Brooke, Katherine, Zach, and Kyle all went to college and started careers. Toby and Johanna ended up getting married. They helped Megan run the Bates Motel. They also co-founded the Fairvale Children's Theatre with Brooke. Brooke ended up marrying Kyle, and she and Katherine became Broadway actresses. Zach continued acting and was a frequent director for Fairvale Children's Theatre. He also continued to play in a local Celtic band. Megan raised her children at the Bates Motel. Her children helped her, Toby, and Johanna run the motel on weekends and after school.

Megan majored in film in college. She started making independent films before making films in Hollywood, in addition to running the motel.

The first film she released in Hollywood was a remake of Spaceballs. Georgie Henley played Princess Vespa; Drake Bell played Lone Starr; Josh Peck played Barf the Mog; Richard E. Grant played President Skroob; Sean Astin played Yogurt; Liv Tyler played Dot Matrix; Jerry Trainor played Dark Helmet; Megan's friend from college, Tarryn Lemmer, was the head of the graphics department, and also played Commanderette Zircon.

Megan and her friends all attended the premiere party for the movie.

As the party wrapped up, Megan noticed that her daughter had wandered off somewhere.

In an unusually sharp voice, she told her son, "Your sister's missing. Go find her, boy. We're about to go home."

"Yes, Mother," he said, then went to go find her.

As he walked away, Megan's face slowly broke into a smile, one that was all Mrs. Bates.
