Titled "I'll come from the ends of the Earth if necessary", the episode began with Thomas Lynde, Rachel's husband passing away. Needless to mention, Rachel was a bit better after the funeral but terribly lonely. At the Cuthberts', Marilla offered Anne an opportunity to attend college, like Gilbert was to do.

In return, she would ask Rachel to come live with her. The woman would less lonely that way and with her help, Marilla could care better for the twins. This was undoubtedly a tough decision for Anne. As she had always done, she confided in Diana. The dark-haired girl was worried, but wanted the world for her best friend.

During this, Anne too imagined a partner for herself and her vision placed that person as Gilbert, quickly snapping her out of it.

Nonetheless, the day of Lavendar and Stephen's wedding came and it was nothing short of heavenly. The couple stated their vows and at the end, rode off into the sunset. The episode ended with Anne finally making a decision - she was going to Redmond College, an end to her girlhood and a first step to womanhood.
