Didn't understand the ending! *spoilers of course*



So Mom has a showdown with her daughter Rita. How does that *solve* anything??


"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

Here Mom had much more power- and loved her daughter too. Love wins out and is the ultimate power!

Mom didn't have more power. She just had that guru and his own circle backing her up.

Rita needed to max out Concentration, or take mom out with the chair leg... or perhaps lighten up. It's not as if other witches were going to be hard to find in England...

The showdown showed that the mother was excerting control over her daughter who was out of control at that point.
