The dramatic conclusion of Disney's Tangled takes place in the hidden tower, where Mother Gothel chains Rapunzeland fatally stabs Eugene (Flynn Rider) when he arrives for a rescue attempt. Willing to sacrifice her freedom to save his life, Rapunzel agrees to submit to Gothel forever if she is allowed to heal him first, but a dying Eugene thwarts the deal by using a sharp shard of glass to cut off her 70-foot golden hair. Instantly stripped of its youth-restoring magic, the hair turns brown, causing a horrified Gothel to rapidly age into dust and fall out of the tower window. As Eugene dies in her arms, Rapunzel's genuine tear of grief releases a final remnant of the sun's magic, healing his wound and reviving him. The two then return to the kingdom of Corona, where Rapunzel is joyfully reunited with her grieving parents, and the film ends with the celebration of the lost princess's return and the revelation that Eugene and Rapunzel eventually marry.
