* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: As stated above, the comic ends with Tina turned evil due to the serum, Crepe City under the control of her carrots (with apparently the president having given up on it if the writing on Sue's computer is to be believed), Coco killed and Fred permanently losing his body after a building caved in on it. But Mary has been freed from the serum and apparently given up henching for good, Fred is at least still around as a spirit, most of their friends are now their allies in their LaResistance and vowing to make things right with Mary seemingly finally becoming a hero in her own right.]]

* AndTheAdventureContinues: [[spoiler: The comic ends a year after the time travel events. Tina is turned evil due to some of the evil serum splashing on her and takes over the city with her carrots. Mary, Sue, Fred (now a spirit), Amelia (and later shown Palawan, Consuelo, Raj and Paige) form a LaResistance in the hopes of either stopping her or changing the future. The comic ends with the group heading out to find Tina and about to confront some of her minions.]]
