Resolution
So the universe had to test Meg's heart in order for her to move on. If she passed, she was allowed to move on, but if she failed, she would be stuck forever. So when they tested her heart, they rated her fail. Once all hope was lost, Lowrie came back and told them what she had done for him, so they passed her for her generousity, and allowed her to pass.
