The Foster family has no choice but to agree. The man in the yellow suit finds the Tucks and tells them his plans: now that he owns the woods, he will sell the water for a fortune. He tells them that his grandmother had known a family that never seemed to age, and a woman who had left her husband after he seemed not to age.
The husband was Miles, and ever since then, the man in the yellow suit has been determined to find the family. The man grabs Winnie by force and threatens to force her to drink the spring water, and Mae has no choice but to hit him with a gun, knocking him unconscious. Unfortunately, the constable witnesses this incident and takes Mae into custody. Mae will be locked up and Winnie will be returned home. The constable decides that if the man in the yellow suit dies, Mae is to be killed by hanging at the gallows.
The Tucks panic at this thought because Mae cannot die, and this might cause her great pain as well as expose their secret to the whole world , but Winnie says that everything will be alright. Sure enough, the man in the yellow suit dies. When Winnie returns home, Jesse goes to meet her and says goodbye to her.
He also gives her a bottle of the spring water and asks her to drink it when she turns seventeen like him so that they can marry. Miles removes the window of Mae's cell using his carpentry skills, and Winnie helps by taking Mae's place so the constable will not notice Mae's disappearance. Winnie covers herself up under the blanket and pretends she is Mae sleeping. This gives the Tucks enough time to get far away from Treegap. The next morning, Winnie is discovered, but the constable can't punish her because she is too young.
Winnie pours the spring water that Jesse gave her on a toad, reasoning that she knows where the spring is and can always get more.
Many years later, the Tucks come back to Treegap, but they are shocked to find that the woods are gone; a fire destroyed them. The Tucks visit Winnie's grave, and find out she lived a normal life as a wife and mother.
The family feels sorry for Jesse, who had high expectations to marry Winnie, but Angus Tuck feels she made the right choice by choosing not to drink the water.
