Together, the group wishes for the blizzard to stop, and it does. They then use Nanny's genie powers to teleport back home safely. As they arrive back at Leah's house, they find that Zac has cleaned up the mess he made and is studying peacefully. Everybody is happy to be back together and spending time indoors on a cozy winter day.
