Professor Altazar summons the pair to join him, 312 and Geren in the common room to listen to a message from the warfleet warning that they are on their way to the Eternity Club for somebody.

When Pym summons the Nurse, Benny realises that the Nurse has been using hypnosis whenever anybody has questioned the Oldest's identity and goes to speak with the Oldest, but she finds that the Oldest has vanished; Geren reveals that she overheard Benny's conversation with Pym and that she and the other members have hidden the Oldest from her.
