While both Magdalena and her father are at the funeral they engage in emotion talk regarding how she was treated by her father and about her pregnancy. After not speaking to Magdalena throughout most of her pregnancy, knowing that she was with child one of the first things her father tells her is that everything in this world happens for a reason and God knows why. Upon learning that Magdalena was actually a pregnant virgin, her father asked Magdalena if she could one day forgive him, Magdalena right then and there decided to forgive her father and they shared a tear filled hug. Her father assures her from there on out everything will be different.
