He counter-threatens to send Hahn and the Germans after them. "Tell him to bring his friend the butcher, if he can find him," Mickey answers. Later that evening, Lily enters Cullen's caboose.

By the river, Elam gazes at Eva’s wedding photo, covering Toole's face. The next morning, Cullen dresses quietly as Lily sleeps. As he walks out the door, Lily calls his name and he smiles. "The White Spirit" was watched by 2.32 million viewers and received a 0.5 rating among viewers aged 18-49, the second-lowest numbers of the season. The episode received high praise. "The A.V. Club"s Alasdair Wilkins gave the episode an A- grade, calling it "best episode the show has ever done", adding "it actually addresses many of the show's most basic flaws. It's too early to say the show has hit a turning point, but the fact that I'm seriously considering the possibility means plenty in and of itself." Sean McKenna of TV Fanatic gave it 4.6 out of 5 stars, calling it "another phenomenal addition to season two", adding "All of the characters had a chance to shine. It also called back to moments earlier in the season. And what was great about that is how they were expounded upon and that there was a real sense that for the characters, things were moving forward."
