Near the end of the movie, Emily was in her room when she received word of a potential problem in her future marriage to Victor.

Emily thanks Victor for setting her free after Lord Barkis dies. She realizes that she and Victor do not belong together, and that Victor belongs with Victoria. When she steps into the moonlight, she turns into many butterflies. A butterfly is also shown being followed during the opening credits of "Corpse Bride". It is Tim Burton's trademark to have his opening credits following something or moving through something.
