Recap / His Dark Materials S 3 E 6 The Abyss

Will and Lyra survive the bomb, but the explosion creates chasms across multiple worlds. Mrs Coulter escapes the Magisterium headquarters in the Intention Craft and returns to Lord Asriel. Coulter, distraught, believes Lyra perished in the explosion. Witch queen Ruta Skadi, who is working with Asriel, dies when her daemon Sergi is pulled into a chasm and perishes into dust. Asriel realizes Angels can also be killed this way. Iorek Byrnison confronts Asriel about the consequences of his rebellion against the Authority. He also tells Asriel that Lyra is alive in the Land of the Dead. Meanwhile, Lyra and Will persuade the Harpies to permit everyone to leave Purgatory and enter Heaven in exchange for everyone sharing their life stories. Will is reunited with his father, John Parry, who says Will and Lyra are destined to serve as the new Adam and Eve who will usher in a new Republic of Heaven. Lyra and Will lead the others to Purgatory's highest point where Will opens a window, allowing the dead to leave. Lyra and Will bid farewell to Roger, Lee Scoresby, and John Parry, who along with the dead step through the window and joyfully dissolve, their atoms becoming one with the universe. Lyra and Will's actions incur Metatron's wrath, prompting Asriel and Coulter to prepare for their showdown with the Regent.
