The series reaches a gut-wrenching turning point as Herod’s fury descends upon Bethlehem. After the Magi fail to return, the Roman official Flavius announces a decree to "register" all male children, a thin veil for the impending massacre. Despite the defiant witness of the elderly Ruth, who boldly proclaims she has seen the Messiah and no longer fears death, the soldiers carry out their orders at dawn. Leah describes the haunting "screaming in Ramah" as twenty-three children are murdered. In the aftermath, a grieving Leah questions the cost of the miracle, but Ruth offers a final lesson in faith: that while we may lack answers, we must refuse to let go of the One who holds them.

Years pass into decades, and the story of the child in the cave shifts from memory to rumor and, finally, to a world-altering reality. Now an old woman living in Jerusalem, Leah witnesses the "Teacher from Nazareth" entering the city to the polarized shouts of the crowd. On the road to Calvary, she catches the eye of the condemned Jesus as he carries his cross; in that brief, bloodied moment, she recognizes the same "knowing light" she saw in the manger thirty-three years prior. After the crucifixion, a radiant Mary visits Leah with the transformative news of the Resurrection, confirming that death could not hold her son and that every prophecy has been vindicated.

The story concludes with a powerful thematic reversal: the Child who was once denied a room in the inn has now gone to "prepare a place" for all humanity. Leah reflects on how her "one small yes" to a pregnant stranger made her part of an eternal narrative. The final anthem celebrates that Jesus, who knew the weight of human suffering and the homelessness of the world, has thrown wide the gates of His Father’s house. The series ends on a note of universal invitation, declaring that for every seeker, outcast, and sinner, there is finally and forever "room" in the heart of God.
