Back at the inn, [[Father McGrath]] introduces himself to Frank, and Frank barely acknowledges McGrath, and Frank heads into the lounge for a [[steak and ale pie]]. He overhears a posh sounding man talking to Gavin out of eyeshot, who's called [[Panda]]. Frank looks to his side, shocked to see Gavin standing there.
