Returning to Gracey Manor, Kent reveals he is actually a con man, but he and Ben rescue Gabbie, Harriet, and Bruce. Crump incinerates his hat, having been impersonating Travis' late father to exploit Travis' grief and make him the final soul. Ben convinces Travis not to give in to his grief, and they and Gabbie confront Crump in the mansion's graveyard. Kent rallies the ghosts to rebel against Crump, while Harriet frees Leota and Bruce rescues the remnants of the hat to carry out the banishment ritual. Crump tempts Ben to become his final soul and be reunited with Alyssa, but Ben makes his peace with losing her, completing the ritual and banishing Crump to the netherworld.
