Mordecai is promoted to a position of great authority, and the Jewish people celebrate their deliverance, marking the beginning of the festival of Purim.

In Part 4, Stephanie Wilson reflects on the entire story, the characters' choices and decisions, and how the lens through which we read can alter our understanding of the narrative.
