Circus Mirandus

Micah wakes up on the back of Big Jean, an elephant, with the Lightbender. The Lightbender is coming with Micah to his home to see Ephraim. The Lightbender explains that he doesn’t leave the circus much because his power keeps it hidden from the outside world. He also tells Micah that Mr. Head is angry that he granted Ephraim a miracle. Micah learns that the Lightbender has a long life because of Mr. Head, who inadvertently gives unusually long life and health to all those in his circus.

Micah remains with Big Jean while the Lightbender goes to see Ephraim. Big Jean picks up the hose, and Micah gives her a bath.

The Lightbender calls Micah in. Ephraim happily reflects that he has two of the most wonderful people in the world with him. They kneel next to Ephraim and hold his hands until he stops breathing.

The Lightbender mysteriously says that the answer to Ephraim’s miracle request is now a “maybe,” not a “no.”

They ride Big Jean back to the circus, which is surrounded by amazed adults and camera crews. The Lightbender disguises Big Jean as a firetruck and himself as a firefighter and asks Jenny’s family to take care of Micah for a few nights.
