Scene description[]
In her cave, Mother finds and examines the black stone from a Senet set. A knife suddenly enters her back.

Influences[]
The piece begins with an introduction that does not play in the episode. The first movement contains the Light theme and a different variation of the Man in Black's theme from what the episode plays. The second movement begins with the monster's second motif, which quickly moves into the Others' main motif. It ends with Jacob's theme.
Title significance[]
"Mother of Sorrows" is a title for the Virgin Mary. Mother dies when the piece plays.
