She finds the abandoned baby and takes it in. The weaver explains that he made the child and that her husband did not betray her.
A choice

The ending
The weaver tricks the villagers with a thorn-covered bride while the Fisherwoman, her husband and the baby leave together. Their escape feels hopeful without promising that their time will last forever.
