You are cursed. Until you do the right thing by me, everything you believe in is going to shatter! Do not attempt it, Miss Celie. Contrary to what I've gone through, do not exchange places with me. Come on, Celie. Let us go to the automobile. He is not deserving of it, he is not deserving of it. Who do you believe you are? Nobody can be cursed. Consider yourself. You are dark, you are impoverished, you are ugly, you are a woman, you are nothing! Until you do the proper thing by me, everything you do will fail!

Years later, Shug reconciles with her preacher father after years of silence due to the life route she took. Mister is an elderly, lonely drinker who has let his house and farm to deteriorate, while Harpo has reconciled with Sofia; they now co-own the pub, which Shug continues to play at. Following her father's death, Celie discovers via Nettie's letters that he was not their real father after all. When their mother died, Celie and Nettie were legally entitled to inherit "his" property. As a result, she inherits her biological father's property and business. Celie opens a tailor store.

While a now-redeemed Mister looks on from afar, Celie, Nettie, and the former's children reconcile, and the two sisters bond over a childhood hand-clapping game.
