Straightening himself up, Ernesto gleefully returns to the stage, only to be met with boos, jeers, and scowls from the livid audience, who furiously labels him a murderer and orders him to get off the stage. Shrugging this off, Ernesto tries to start the orchestra, but the disgusted instrumentalists only glare at him out of outrage and contempt as the stoic conductor responds to his attempts by snapping his baton in two without a word or second thoughts out of disgust. Ernesto then tries to win the crowd over by singing "Remember Me", but the livid crowd just boos even more as they throw food at him. Confused at this reception, Ernesto sees on the monitors that Pepita has just saved Miguel and realizes that his vile actions have been revealed to all the Land of the Dead as well, causing him to be silently devastated at the fact that his legacy has now been destroyed and he had lost everything. As he ponders on what to do, Ernesto looks behind him to see Pepita emerge from the curtains, ready to punish him for everything he put the family through when he murdered Héctor. As she menacingly approaches him, Ernesto can only meekly beg Pepita not to hurt him, but the alebrije responds with a roar and head-butts him off the stage, catches him by the pelvis area, and carries him out of the stadium, with Ernesto screaming and begging in frantic terror for Pepita to release him unharmed. Pepita then tosses Ernesto into the air and swats him out of the arena with her tail, sending the disgraced and reviled fraud hurtling into a bell tower, where he smacks face-first into the iron bell with a resounding clang before falling underneath. While recovering, the bell breaks loose and crushes a horrified Ernesto, echoing his original death, killing him instantly.
"Ernesto was a two faced prick who wanted all attention in the world, he finally had karma step in and his death .... rang the bells."
