The characters, with the exception of the Witch who thinks Jack should simply be handed over to face the consequences of his actions, and Rapunzel who has lost all mental coherence as a result of being exposed to the world so late and then left without her prince, band together to protect Jack and kill the Giantess. Their first action however, is counterproductive. They deny the narrator, (arguably the God figure of their fairy tale world,) and give him to the Giantess saying he is Jack. This tactic fails and they find themselves lost and without direction. Rapunzle is lost to the Giant, as is the Baker's Wife, and the Prince's Steward strikes Jack's mother to quiet her, killing her.

Only after the Witch by tossing away another handful of beans and incurring the curse upon herself again, making herself ugly and old but regaining her power, demonstrates that their problems were caused by their short sighted behavior in act one, do they finally learn their lesson and find a way to defeat the Giantess, who herself is foiled by the fact that she seeks, not justice as she has claimed, but vengeance.
