 As he lies dying under the abbey 's rubble , Zerchi is startled to encounter Mrs <unk> / Rachel , a <unk> tomato peddler and mutant . However , Mrs. <unk> has been rendered unconscious by the explosion , and may be dying herself . As Zerchi tries to conditionally baptize Rachel , she refuses , and instead takes the ciborium and administers the Eucharist to him . It is implied that she is , like the Virgin Mary , Eve and Jesus , exempt from original sin , and may even be the Second Coming of Christ to begin a new cycle on Earth . Zerchi soon dies , having witnessed an apparent miracle .
