Virginia and the rest of the heroes discover that Christine is Virginia's mother. When Christine manipulates and brainwashes all the kingdom's guards, cooks, and the rest of Prince Wendell's servants, she sets her plan in motion to poison and kill all of the guests and 9 kingdoms rulers at Prince Wendell's ceremony.

He is successful in doing so and later tells him that she will make him her head of security when she takes over the 9 kingdoms. She denies that she knows Virginia and Anthony Lewis and after finding out the real hidden truth she buried inside of her for so many years she realizes that Virginia is her daughter but has her locked up, in Prince Wendell's jail with Anthony. Anthony and Virginia escape and then fight one last battle with the troll kids and knock them unconcious.

The Huntsman then captures Virginia and Anthony and they are brought before Christine. Instead of killing Virginia, Christine decides to let her go and says that Virginia was merely an accident and she should been killed at birth. Enraged Virginia slaps Christine, who then alters the deal of letting her go and orders The Huntsman to kill her. But The Huntsman is stopped by Wolf, who kills The Huntsman using his own magical crossbow against him.

Christine tries to strangle Virginia but is killed by Virginia by a poisoned comb. Before Christine dies she redeems herself by saying she thanks Virginia and loves her. Towards the end of the miniseries, Virginia visits Christine's tomb and puts a flower on her grave, which blooms into a beautiful flower.
