Ali and Morgiana sing another love song to give everyone time to fall into place and to make Carooni think that they are clueless about what is happening. Carooni has Sesame turn out the lights, and soon as this happens, Morgiana sends the family in to battle and to help them. Sesame throws the light back on. The family is victorious and they sing a victory song. In their banter, Fatimoma finds something very familiar as does Carooni. She slowly realizes that Carooni is her long lost husband: Ali's long lost father. Everyone seems happy except for Sesame who is still alone.

Everyone lives happily ever after.
