After They Returned, finale Recovery beyond the reunion

Date unknown

Kan airs the third and final chapter of After They Returned. Avihai Brodutch recalls his children's reunion and having to tell them about murdered friends; he describes gradual recovery. Bat-Sheva Yahalomi describes enduring loss and having to clear the family's attack-damaged home for kibbutz renovation, preserving shell casings and personal objects. Vicky Cohen, Nitza and Gilad Korngold, Anat Angrest and Orit Meir discuss survivors' physical and emotional recovery, family roles, renewed travel or work, lost homes and bereavement. Their different outlooks remain intact: optimism and changed priorities coexist with accounts of lasting rupture and no complete restoration. Moreno's closing assessment is included. The chapter's broadcast is distinct from earlier episodes and original hostage releases.

Bat-Sheva Yahalomi says her kibbutz decided to renovate the family's attack-damaged home and move another family into it. After pressure she cleared it quickly, searching the floor for shell casings and objects to preserve. She sees painting over the blood and removing evidence as another loss and describes the task as extremely difficult. The report does not establish a completed renovation or the date of clearance.
