+ | Bull grabs some things and they trap the bug in the van with a bug bomb going off. The noises from inside the van cease. Bull puts his stuff into a different exterminator van. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The dispatcher, Holly, arrives with a date (apparently not having anywhere else to go), not noticing Bull and Mai. Bull and Mai flirt while listening to what's going on in the dispatcher office. | ||
+ | |||
+ | They quietly find a container to put the bug in, and open the van. Mai stabs it to be sure it's dead... but this actually wakes it up, despite being more damaged than one would think an organism would take (apparently capable of regenerating to some extent). It runs again, and creates a racket in the process that alerts Holly that somebody is in the garage. Bull sets the thing on fire as Holly comes out of the office. | ||

+ | Mai goes to visit the unicorn (which the elf girl has taken to calling Candy), and convinces it to stop sending power to Faith. Faith is infuriated, and starts to lift Leo up off the ground with her telekinesis. Mai returns to Faith and the rest, and Faith drops Leo. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Mai tells her to stop breaking down the walls, but Faith claims she's creating her own new reality, and isn't sure who's invited. Mai argues that Faith should be grateful that they saved her, when she was trying to kill them. Faith argues that it's not really being saved if she isn't free to be herself. | ||
