Tami-Lynn's hydra head accuses Carl of ignoring her pleas, then dies insisting she killed his father to protect Asher.
The head carries Carl's stepmother's pit bull tattoo and repeatedly claims she wrote Carl for help but received no answer. It blames him for what she had to do.
Carl cannot initially determine whether Tami-Lynn or Bea's mother carries fire resistance. Once Bea's mother is removed and the hydra burns, Tami-Lynn survives as the last conscious non-keymaster head.
Before the body dies, she says she saw what Carl's father had done to him and did not want Asher to endure the same abuse. She therefore made sure the murder was completed correctly and expresses no regret.
A thin black-haired woman's face with pit bull neck tattoo on a burning hydra neck.
The head gives Carl a final, possibly AI-shaped articulation of the stepmother's protective motive.
