On Das, Loki is still arguing with Silence, except now the medicine Silence had given her is starting to wear off. Amir has left the room to go for a walk, and Tasha has gone with him. Pic is being evaluated by a psychologist.
Loki: Silence, I feel awful.
Silence: Oh do you now?
Loki: Yes.
Silence: You should have thought of that before throwing all your medicine at me.
Loki: I'm sorry. Please, give them back?
Silence: Hmm... Sorry, no.
Loki: Please... I beg...
Silence says nothing.
Loki: Or how about just some steroids? Then I can leave here sooner.
Silence: Steroids would be bad for the baby.
Loki: What baby?
Silence leaves the room.
Loki: This is why you're a bad doctor!
Amir and Tasha are walking around Das.
Tasha: Do you think Loki has quit arguing with Silence yet?
Amir checks his watch.
Amir: No.
Tasha: What are you going to do with Chase?
Amir: After hes been tortured enough, he will be given a brief trial, after which, he will be executed.
Tasha: Is Renjey still torturing him?
Amir: I believe so.
Amir looks at his adopted daughter.
Amir: Go see him, I know you want to.
Tasha (blushes): Ok, see you later dad.
Amir heads back to Baraddur and Tasha takes off for Cirith Ungol. On her way there, she sees Miro.
Miro (out of breath): Tasha... Be careful... Pythas... is looking for you. He wants to be your father...
Pic is being interviewed by Romain, the former member of the LEGION.
Romain: Tell me about your childhood, Pickleslover.
Pic: My childhood was nothing special. I was raised in the south.
Romain: I see... Did you have any special accomplishments when you were a child?
Pic: I once won a pickle eating contest on Damen's Day. The Emperor crowned me as Pickle Lover. And that's when I became known of as Pickleslover.
Romain: So what is your true name, Pickleslover?
Pic: It has been so long since I used my true name, I don't remember it...
Romain: Could it be that perhaps your psychotic episodes stem from your loss of personal identity?
Pic: What? I don't have psychotic episodes!
Romain: You are still in denial then.
Pic: No! There is nothing to deny!
Romain: Okay then tell me something unique about yourself.
Pic: Uhh...
Romain: And that right there is a sign that you have lost your sense of personal identity!
In the south, Dice has brought Flame home with him. Bakeitor decides to go with to make sure Dice stays safe as he believes Flame is unstable.
Dice opens the door to his apartment, it is decorated with airplane pictures and model airplanes. The walls are sky blue and on one wall is a mural of an old WWII airplane.
Bakeitor: Woah...
Dice (purring): My apartment is spectacular.
Flame: Its nicer than where I stay SWEATS.
Bakeitor: That's really easy because you sleep in the street.
Flame: The street is better than jail.
Bakeitor: Do you think I live at the jail!?
Flame: SWEATS You don't?
Dice: Where either of you stay is irrelevant at this moment. We need to know who hired Ayancito to kill me. Take a seat Flame, and tell me everything you know.
Flame: No, first I get what I want and then you get what you want.
Bakeitor: We don't negotiate with criminals or homeless men.
Flame: Then no deal.
Flame makes to leave.
Dice: No, Flame! What do you want?
Flame: First I will be requiring a bath, complete with bubbles and rubber duckies.
Dice: Deal.
In GNZ, Varda, Little, and Manwe are returning from the kitchen with the potion to cure Eonwe. But they discover that Eonwe is no longer there and neither is Zes! Instead they find Khamul holding a nicely wrapped present waiting for Little.
Khamul: Hi Little. I have gift.
Little (blushing): Wow! Its wrapped so well!
Khamul: Thank you, I forced prisoner to wrap.
Little starts unwrapping the present.
Manwe: Enough of that. Where is Eonwe? Where is Zes?
Khamul: They left.
Little opens the present, its a heavy shield!
Little: Thank you Khamul, this is so... unique!
Khamul blushes.
Khamul: Anything for my sweetie.
Manwe: Who cares about the gift!? Where did they go?
Varda (shocked): Look Manwe!
Varda points to a space shuttle taking off, heading towards Arda.
Varda: They're going to Arda.
Khamul: Yes, they go meet Pythas.
Manwe: Varda, get the keys to the space ship. We're going after them!
Little: Do you mind if I stay here with Khamul?
Manwe: I would rather you didn't stay with Khamul.
Little: Well you can't leave him here by himself!
Manwe: Fine, everyone is coming with. But Khamul, if you so much as utter one phrase that sounds like it might be a curse, I will kick you out into a supernova.
Khamul: I don't curse, I kiss.
Khamul smooches Little. Manwe is furious.
Manwe: Just hurry up, lets go!
At the jail, Danito has given Zen the poisoned candy. He goes to rejoin Foxel in his office. He sees Foxel is watching on the cameras to see if Zen is going to eat the candy.
Foxel: Why hasn't Zen eaten the candy yet?
Danito: She probably thinks its suspicious.
Foxel: Why would she think that?
Danito: Because it is.
Foxel: Perhaps I will need to devise another plan.
Foxel continues watching the monitor. Suddenly he gets an idea!
Foxel: I know what we'll do... We'll have one of Zen's prison friends go to her cell and mysteriously die of poisoning after the visit!
Danito: What will that prove?
Foxel: Then we can charge Zen with murder. Intentionally poisoning another prisoner.
Danito: I... I don't think I like this plan.
