For the women of Serenity, the Corner Spa was a beacon of hope, and the edifice stands as a reminder of what Mrs. Frances’ family had achieved for the village. As a tribute to her life, the Sweet Magnolias donated a beautiful bench on the front porch with her name engraved on it, so tourists might enjoy the special moments Serenity has to offer.

Ryan Wingate, Mrs. Frances’s estranged son, and a constant flame in Helen’s life, arrives to help Helen understand the rest of the funeral rituals, but he also has another goal in mind. He had already walked out on her, leaving her sad when she voiced her desire to have children, while he stated that he did not want children.
