The Last Fallen Star

When Riley Oh and Emmett Harrison wonder into the Horangi territory to look for the last fallen star, the two are quickly taken prisoner as she, Austin, and a boy their age interrogate them. After she threatens to hurt Emmett, Riley reveals their quest to save her sister by finding the last fallen star and reveals that she is a Aorangi. Everyone is startled by the revelation and they release the two, he releases them and Emmett runs away while Riley goes with the Horangi. After Austin leaves, they explain how they use chips that allow them to control their dominant element as they head to a building. When they arrive, they tell her how the Horangi were guarding artifacts that the council wanted to use for themselves and how they were banished for destroying them. Riley finds this hard to believe until they show her a prophecy her parents uncovered and she realizes the first two lines happened as they hear Emmett accuse someone of killing his mom. After defusing a stand off between Emmett and a group of scholars and learning who his mother is. She explains everything that happened that lead up to her death and he agrees to help them destroy the last fallen star. She then requests Riley undergo an initiation into the Horangi Clan, get a biochip embedded in her wrist, undergo a quest, and forsake the Gom in favor of her birth clan. Riley rejects her offer and she accepts the girl's response.

As the campus comes under attack by an Inmyeonjo, a bird woman who hates mirrors, Riley, Emmett, and Taeyo return with Riley announcing she wants to initiate into the clan, much to her joy. She has Taeyo and Austin take Riley to get a chip implanted in her wrist and tasks her with taming the bird woman before asking Emmett to come with her. When the bird woman is in a cage, she has others try and fail to tame her after numerous attempts. After Riley tames her with kindness, Sora asks her to join the Horangi, which she accepted. Soon after she finds the current Gom elder and James and Eunha Oh in the crowd and she takes them, Riley, Emmett, Austin, and Taeyo to a shed to talk privately. The Ohs accuse the Horangi of kidnapping and brainwashing Riley, but they say she came of her own free will. When Riley accuses Okja of framing the Horangi, she says she did not but has a feeling that the current Samjogo elder, Bongjoon Pyo, is behind everything due to his recent erratic behavior and likely false vision of her breaking into the temple. The group forms an uneasy alliance and goes to Los Angeles.

They arrive at Mr. Pyo's place of work and, after Taeyo hacks into his calendar to make an appointment for his relatives, they walk right in. They find him in a meeting and, when he sees them, runs as they give chase. They corner him in his car as she, Austin, and Taeyo subdue him. Riley asks why he framed the Horangi. Mr.Pyo tells them Sookhee Harrison was behind everything before he comes to the realization that she was possessed by the Cave Bear Goddess as part of a plan for her and her sisters to destroy the artifacts, which are actually pieces of the dark moon and dark sun, to erase their sin so that they can enter the Mortalrealm and do what they please with humanity. After realizing the Cave Bear Goddess can possess members of the Gom, Riley asks if they can sever the clan's ties to her. After she says her clan has managed without a patron goddess, Okja reveals a spell exists and the ohs agree to it. Just then Areum arrives and says the Dokkaebi know where the artifact is. As they question where to even find a dokkaebi, Mr. Pyo says one lives in the forty-fourth room on the forty-forth floor of the temple. They leave the elder behind and, after stopping at the Tokki elder's house for a sleeping potion, they reach the temple and argue over who is going to make a deal with the dokkaebi. When they reach the room, the decide on the Ohs going in.

She and the others enter the room and, as Riley had their memories of her erased to find the last fallen star, they do not recognize her and are surprised that she knows about their plan to sever the Gom from the Cave Bear Goddess. After Riley returns Emmett's ring and takes out Taeyo's compass, she believes it is the last fallen star and they head to the Gi Sanctuary. The Cave Bear Goddess arrives and asks Riley for the star. The girl then requests Hattie and the goddess obliges. She watches as Hattie starts to spasm before speaking in the voice of Sookhee Harrison. After she explains to her son what she did and how she regained her sense of self, she turns into a jaguar and goes to the afterlife. Riley berates the goddess for not returning Hattie, the goddess responds that, as she and the other goddesses are the daughters of Mago Halmi, all others are beneath them. Okra then starts the spell to sever the goddess from a Gom, binding the two with thread. Riley goes to cut off threads, but fails to do so as she realizes to late that the compass is not the star. As the Cave Bear Goddess berates Riley, for betraying her, Riley says she is powerless in the Mortalrealm without a host. Just then the goddess tries to possess Okja. She and the others try and fail to stop the goddess. She and the others struggle to restrain the goddess, even with the arrival of Noah Noh, Cosette Chung, David Kim, and Jennie Byun. She and the others are shocked when Riley reveals that she is the last fallen star and watch as Riley destroys the statue of the Cave Bear Goddess, expelling her from Okja's body and the mortalrealm.

As things calm down, she and Okja talk and shake hands. Unknown to everyone, Riley is given a wish by the Haetae to undo anything from her past and she decides to resurrect Hattie. He does so and, after a delay, Hattie is resurrected. They all cheer and promise to find a way to restore their memories of Riley as they fill Hattie in.

However the festivities are interrupted by angry Gom who vandalize the house with hateful messages for Riley. Riley starts to blame herself for the incident as he and the others volunteer to coverup the graffiti and comfort her. When they return to the kitchen for cake, everything in the kitchen starts to attack them. Austin holds off the knives as everyone flees to the hall.

During the ride Hattie falls asleep, everyone hoping she wakes up in under two days. She mentions it will rain and it pours when they arrive.

After learning what Riley did, she, James, Eunha, Sora, Austin, and Riley's friends gather in the Gi Sanctuary at the temple. They are overjoyed when she wakes up and are shocked to learn Dahl is her twin. After James and Eunha express their desire for their healing magic, they rub their wrists to find that their marks have returned while the other clans lost their gifts. She and the others are surprised when Dahl inadvertently summons the Haetae, who warns them the goddesses are preparing for war. When the Haetae leaves, Riley restores Sora's memories of her, as well as the other Gom and Horangi present, and they all embrace.

Six months after the goddesses stripped most of the gifted community of their magic, they have gathered at a convention center in Las Vegas, Nevada to strategize for the upcoming battle. She and Austin take the stage and, after a few people reveal they have not been chipped, the pair instructed them to do so so that they can start training and they talk about the upcoming conflict. Soon the sun starts to flicker and she and and the others go outside and see a bulgae emerge from a tear in the sky. Soon the sky vanishes.

As everyone takes in their victory, Emmett suggests the Yeomra be made a janitor as the mayor pleads for death instead. As everyone thinks of ways to separate the realms, Riley knows the only way is for her to become the new sun. The others try to talk Riley out of it, but she insists it is the only way.
