What is the big twist near the end of Practical Magic 2?

Here are the key reveal points leading up to and including the twist:

• The Owens women—Sally, Gillian, and Kylie—learn via the Book of the Raven that no spell or counter-curse will end their centuries‐long curse; it requires someone in their bloodline to give up their life. - Aunt Jet, an older generation, dies earlier in the story; her death is natural but also part of setting up the emotional stakes and legacy passed to the younger women. - Tom Lockland emerges as a deceptive antagonist who tries to manipulate Kylie and steal magic for himself, but defeating him alone isn’t enough to break the curse. - Franny steps forward at the climax, walks into the river, and gives her life willingly—this sacrificial act breaks the curse. Gideon wakes from his coma, confirming the curse has ended.

This twist reframes the movie: it’s not just about defeating a villain or undoing a spell—but about love, lineage, and intergenerational sacrifice. The ending is bittersweet: the curse is lifted at a high cost, change comes, but grief remains part of the legacy.
