Madame Bovary and Madame Pernelle arrive at the house, and Madame Poins is horrified to find that her daughter has been taken in by the monster. She is also horrified to learn that the woman who made the doll with her daughter's blood is the same woman who created the monster in the first place. She asks the Madame to explain the connection between her daughter and the monster, and the Madame tells her that her real daughter died three years ago, and that the monster has been pretending to be her daughter ever since. The Madame tells the Madame that she will soon be able to return home with her family, and she explains that she has been asleep for two weeks, and everything is fine now. Madame Poin tells Madame that the real Madame has already died, and says that she feels bad for the little girl, who is afraid to be disliked by her parents. She tells Madame to go and look for her daughter, because it is easy for a cold to catch when sitting outside.
