In the final scenes, Penelope and Johnny conclude telling their story to Penelope's students in a park. When asked what the moral of the story is, she tells the class it is up to their interpretation; one boy replies, “It’s not the power of the curse, it’s the power you give the curse.” After the children are dismissed, Johnny and Penelope walk up the hill, and he begins to push her on a swing. Meanwhile, on a nearby lake, Lemon approaches them on a small rowboat and is about to take a picture to reveal to the world what has happened to Penelope. Observing how happy they are, he decides to leave them alone as he rows away.
