The Sandman 210 "Long Live The King" Spoilers

Episode teleplay by Marina Marlens

Episode directed by Jamie Childs

Synopsis: As they continue their path of destruction through The Dreaming, The Furies and their avatar Lyta Hall kills Abel and Merv Pumpkinhead and try to kill Dreams’ raven Matthew, but he escapes to Lucienne, Cain, Corinthian and Daniel in the throne room. Morpheus comes back to his realm and momentarily breaks the hold of The Kindly Ones on Lyta after she sees that her son Daniel is alive. But The Kindly Ones refuse to free her saying they aren’t her to retrieve Daniel they are here for vengeance. 

To save his realm Morpheus goes to the waking world to kill Lyta, but Mad Hettie has put protections around Lyta to prevent this. She tells Morpheus that Daniel won't be happy with him if he kills his mother and that’s the last thing he needs. 

In the land of Faery, Nuala makes peace with Cluracan and Titania and is allowed to return to the Dreaming. With little other option Morpheus tells everyone he is going to the furthest edge of Dreaming, and has a tearful goodbye with his friends, thanking them for everything that they’ve done to help his growth. 

His sister Death arrives and Dream sends Matthew to bring her to him. Death and Morpheus talk for some time and finally Morpheus takes her hand to accept his death and goes with her. 

At the same moment, The Kindly Ones vanish and Nuala takes Lyta Hall’s head in the Dreaming. Lyta wakes up in the waking world and Daniel, suddenly an adult as the new Dream, starts to repair the realm and as Delirium is reunited with her dog Barnabas she realises her brother Dream is gone.
